We have a Siemens built-in, bean to cup machine at home which produces a reasonable cup of coffee, but our daughter has a Lavazza pod machine and her coffee is much better.

Talking of coffee beans being roasted, does anyone remember the place, I think near East Croydon station, maybe a Kenco coffee shop where the smell of fresh ground coffee pervaded the street? Wonderful.

There was a coffee shop ( not cafe) in Bromley High Street where they had the bean grinders in the window at the front of the shop. There was heady smell of freshly ground beans that struck you as you approached.
