Coffee problem solved

When we left the US, we had to leave behind our beautiful Krups coffee maker - one that ground and drip-brewed on a timer. After a lot of searching here, we gave up on being able to simply get another. So in mourning, we bought a fabulous and fabulously expensive espresso machine, the Delonghi Magnificat. This grinds and brews espresso at the touch of a button.

The official rationalization is that it's my fiftieth birthday present.
