So...after 30 years my espresso machine finally clicked the can

Since small appliances no longer really last (that one did, another era) I got a bialetti stove top espresso maker. It works, very well...like my Melita...

It also works buying already-ground coffee.

That way, if the coffee grinder's clicked the can, it doesn't make any difference; one still has ground coffee.

1. I have a commercial espresso machine

It has broke a couple of times and I've repaired it. I've also modified it with electronic boiler control. You can repair most real pump type espresso machines, but after 30 years on a consumer grade machine you've probably got your money's worth.

2. I am sure I did.

The bialetti will last a lifetime.

And it was good espresso.

4. He'll, I can have espresso

If we decide to go camping.

Question.

When the oblate spheroid goes camping, one assumes she and the husband take a tent.

Normally, a pup tent would suffice.

But this is the oblate spheroid after all; one wonders if she uses a second-hand three-ring circus tent bought from Ringling Brothers-Barnum & Bailey.

Yeah, that pissed me off, when I saw that unfair comment the cbayer primitive made about us.

I'm thinking about giving her the Mrs. Alfred Packer treatment, writing a story featuring her.

Either that, or start giving her the Warpy treatment.

Sounds like a plan.

Hey, DUmmies... did you see your warmongering President has involved the United States in another international conflict?  How many is that now?

He'll what?

If you decide to go camping what?

If my expresso machine ever clicked the can I'd take the riffle to it. Can clicking is frowned upon in my home.

If a can clicks in a forest where no one can hear.....

What is it with libtards and their fancy, poofy coffee.
Throw a hand full of stuff in some boiling water, and be done with it already. Sheesh. :banghead:
