Today I picked up the espresso machine that I have been nattering to all and sundry about for the last few weeks. It’s a Vibiemme Domobar Super, a real workhorse of a machine. The problem is that the grinder doesn’t arrive until later this week and I also don’t have a tamper worth a damn, so the shots we have been making for ourselves are… rather inconsistent, despite all the advice given to us by Chris at Talk Coffee.

Here it is sitting next to the Nemox it is replacing. See if you can guess which is which.

Thanks to Joffa and Vetti for christening it with some Bodum thermo glasses!
