Equipment

I started out making coffee with a pod machine, probably not the traditional way but it was accessible, just as coffee should be, and to me there is no greater joy than drinking a cup I've made myself.

This list of equipment will be updated with every acquisition, there's still plenty more to add to it and the list will be updated to link to each product's review as and when it appears on the site.

Where I Buy My Equipment

Being part of the web-generation, I tend to purchase my equipment online where I can get the cheapest prices on everything. Shopping smart can save you a lot of money, and it means I can have things I'd ordinarily not be able to afford. On the other side of the same coin, this method frees up funds for additional purchases.

Like most people, I'm budget limited, so I really advise shopping around, I wouldn't have half of the equipment I have today if it wasn't for this technique. Despite this, I like to remain loyal to retailers who provide great service so a pound or so difference is unlikely to draw me away from someone I trust.

I'd recommend Amazon to everyone because you can compare prices, seller ratings and products from a wide range of reviews that give buyers peace of mind. Most major retailers have a shop front on here as well so it's quite handy in that respect too.
