I’m skeptical when it comes to automatic coffee machines, not least because I’m a control freak bus also because I just can’t see a automatic machine living up to a hand-tamped coffee. After three weeks of using this machine daily, I feel qualified to review it. I thought the best way was to show you the machine in a kind of how-to video of about 12 minutes. I’ve followed that up with a summary of what I like/don’t like about the Philips Saeco Intelia, skip straight to that if you're after my final verdict.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/01/review-philips-saeco-intelia/feed/ 18 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2011/04/cafe-review-%e2%80%93-coffee-tea-me-redfern/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2011/04/cafe-review-%e2%80%93-coffee-tea-me-redfern/#comments Mon, 25 Apr 2011 20:25:04 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=1471 I was looking up City of Sydney planning applications that very day to try and figure out when they’d get permission for outdoor furniture – I figured that’s when they’d open.
