indeed, my wife (he he!) is a tea drinker, but she has been trained to make coffee over the last few months... she can do milky frothey shitee for herself but has got the espresso running nicely now for me
i was taught to use a kettle as soon as i could reach it, my parents must never have made themselves a drink from the age i was 8. As a young teenager i was a normal two sugers an milk coffee drinker, hated black. when i was 15 i was going scottish, two of everything... coffee, sugar and milk slowly i adjusted to just black coffee, then i wanted the best black coffee i could get (what some call americano) and that was fine for a while
now i am a contant espresso (and no cr@p shitee, illy or better) drinker, whats left - crack next!!
