Recommend PH Towers (developers) a coffee machine

[Pheedbak]

Afternoon all,

Exciting times, the hamsters are being taken from the basement of PH towers and put in the penthouse. Now this not being our natural environment we want to soften the blow by getting a bean to cup type coffee machine. It doesnt need to do industrial amounts of coffee but will need easy cleaning/maintenance. Guessing around max 500 quid mark.

Any recommendations?

Phil,

Not a 'bean to cup' machine, granted - but you could buy a grinder or do what I do - just buy a bad of ground stuff.

I'm a coffee lover and have to have good coffee. In 2005 I bought a Francis Francis X1 machine. A small unit, but contains professional parts inside to ensure longevity and good pressure for proper coffee.

Retails around 400 quid.

7 years later, still working as good as new. For a domestic machine it's regarded as one of the best around.

Surely you need to be thinking about blackout curtains first? I thought IT professionals turned to dust if you expose them to the sun...

We've got factor 9000 sun cream..

Nice idea on coffee machine but we are sharing the office with entire department so need minimal maintenance and fuss...might look at it for home though hmm..

I also have an ff x1. They are cery solid make a good crema and can be used with either e.s.e pods or ground coffee. The milk frorher is pretty good too. They also come in a variety of colours to suit any office. Mine is JCB yellow
