Welcome to the club ... I am one of the biggest abusers of the English language.  My wife is constant correct-all around me.

It is a riot!

My wife has always disliked how the coffee paraphernalia clutters up the counters in our kitchen, so, during our recent re-model, we set it up so all the clutter can be hidden behind closed doors (sort of like the roll-top desk idea).

I would be proud of my coffee equipment, not hiding it.  Need to teach her to appreciate the finer things in life more.

Maybe if you had a classic espresso machine, instead of the Classic, she'd be more respectful of your gear?

Have her talk to Mrs. Tex who knows that fine machines make good decorating.

Yeah, sure. She knows the less she bitches about my cheapo collections, the less I'll complain about her excesses! :o

That's nice, is that the one that took the leg out?

No, this is the one that almost did me in!

Tex,

That's a real colorful bong you've got there on the far right.  I didn't know you were into those kind of greens.   ;)


That's a picture of Danny McNulty's Gaggia GX, so the weight for the bong is off my shoulders. Danny lived in GB and had a coffee shop setup in a trailer, and his pride & joy was this 3-group GX. Unfortunately, Danny passed away a few years ago, and the coffee world hasn't been the same since. :(

Before he died Danny, sparked a love for the Gaggia GX lever machines in me, and I've been jonesing for a 2-group model ever since. Someday<wistful sigh>?

That is a nice setup Phil, I need to go stand-alone style though as my kitchen is comfortable (read small).

Tex, that print and plant have got to go.  Blech!   :o

I'd agree with you, but it's not wise to criticize Mrs T's decorative skills. For Christmas, she removed the eagle on top of the machine and replaced it with a snowman! :-X
