Jerome acquired a coffee machine through eBay, and I’d have tested it late last night if I wasn’t so lethargic from the heat already (it was like 37 degrees in Melbourne yesterday).

Was up early in the morning to fiddle with the machine, and the cheapo instruction manual wasn’t a very interesting read, but it did get the point through on what needed to be done. Heh, needed to prep the machine, warm this and that up, until finally, after like 20 minutes, I could press a button and I could see the black liquid oozing out into the espresso cup I had (needed to get the quantities right). It was another skim through the manual before I figured out how you were supposed to froth the milk.

The end result was an almost restaurant like latté experience. The taste was nearly there, although I need to work on the temperature a bit.

Heh, so it’s good coffee in the mornings until I have to return this little beauty to its rightful owner.
