    Moka pots have always been aluminium. It's rare to find one that isn't, which is a pain as I have an Induction hob at home

    At home you could get a fancy machine or you could just buy a little stove-top espresso pot, I think they're very sweet.

    At work, you could get a small pod-based machine (Nespresso or whatever brand you like) I imagine. I doubt it's going to convince the true coffee snobs but as a compromise in cost and convenience I think it could be worth a shot(!)
    When abroad, I had learn that I can't ordered just a coffee, I have to ordered an expresso, otherwise I get a huge cup of terrible coffee.

    I'd recommend: https://www.coffeereal.co.uk/


    There's also a new micro-roaster beside the Butcher's Hall in Forest Green (can't remember their name). Haven't tried their coffee yet, but it looks like a good place.

    Italian's use decent beans, which are not over-roasted, freshly ground, and then the coffee is made with love. Not over-scorched and rushed. Some of the independents off Tottenham Court Road make a fine cup. [emoji39]
