I am sat here listening to the radio, the station is in Tenerife and I am in England but it makes me feel like I am closer to Tenerife than I have for a long time.

I can sit here with a coffee from my Delonghi EC155 espresso maker and pretend that I am back on this beautiful island, if only I was there things would be alot better.

The Delonghi EC155 espresso maker is a compact espresso machine that can make use of ground coffee or ESE coffee pods. Its size means that it can always be on display even in the smallest kitchens.

Pop over to delonghicoffeemachines.org for a more detailed look into thsigreat little espresso maker.

I am a life long Liverpool football club fan and watched what I could yesterday of the FA cup final. I must admit that my interest in football has wavered as Liverpool become less of a force in the modern game.

I sat down when I could, enjoying a great espresso from my Delonghi EC155 espresso maker and focused on what was an interesting game. Maybe not as interesting as my coffee machine but still good anyway.

Liverpool were out played on the day and look like finishing 9th in the Premier league, I think it is time that Kenny Dalglish admitted that he is not up to the job of managing a great football side.

So enough of football, head over to Delonghi coffee machines and check out the Delonghi EC155 for a quality purchase today.

You will find reviews on the latest Delonghi coffee makers from genuine owners that will help you decide on which one is best for you.

Today is the FA cup final, one of the biggest days in the sporting calendar and I have to go to work. I wouldn’t mind but I hate my fucking job and I will be sacked in a week anyway but I just have to go in.

Why? Because you have to don’t you, that’s part of the shitty game of life. We all need to make sacrifices and today is one of mine, 7 hours of pure shit for £50 in return for missing Liverpool play at Wembley in the FA cup for the first time in years.

I wish I could just phone in and not go but sometimes you have to do things you don’t want to do, I just hope the day goes by quickly and I get a deal.

Having said that, My website over at Delonghi coffee machines is dying a death and I wouldn’t do much with it today anyway.

Bye for now.

Espresso coffee takes its name from the Italian word for express, presumably because it is quickly prepared and delivered to the customer. Modern technology has enabled us to equip our homes with espresso machines that can deliver an espresso as good as your local coffee shop for a fraction of the price.

Gone are the days of visiting a coffee shop for an authentic barista experience, it can now be replicated for your convenience in the comfort of your own home. The only problem is in selecting the ideal espresso maker, it is not possible to test drive every machine on the market. With the advances in online technology it is now quite easy to find honest reviews of appliances from people who have already purchased and used the equipment and are in a good position to rate the performance and also the customer service from the company that manufactures the espresso machine.

The latest espresso machines can create an espresso within 30 seconds of the machine being switched on. Espresso machines fall into several different categories.

• Pump espresso machine
• Piston espresso machine
• Stovetop espresso machine
• Automatic espresso machine

It is important to use an excellent espresso blend to extract the best results from your machine. The blend needs to produce smoothness, sweetness and aromatics to deliver the perfect beverage. Ideally the blend should be freshly ground and brewed within five days from roasting.

The best blends are roasted lightly so as not to lose the sugars and aroma which are paramount if you want to experience the best tasting coffee, also bear in mind that darkly roasted espresso beans produce a bitter liquid that has a taste similar to charcoal. Make sure that you use distilled water to get the best results when preparing your espresso as normal tap water can give you a disappointing return.  The water temperature should be between 92 to 96 degrees centigrade to ensure the best results for your espresso.

Ensure that the espresso machine that you invest in is easy to maintain and additionally, if possible purchase a machine that can have the removable parts placed in the dishwasher for high quality and effective cleaning.

Summary for a perfect espresso

• Use lightly roasted espresso beans to retain the qualities of the bean
• Ensure the water temperature is between 92 to 96 degrees centigrade
• Purchase a machine which can have removable parts cleaned at high temperatures
• Enjoy your coffee

I had a conversation the other day with an old friend about kitchens. Not something I usually talk about (I leave that to the wife) but he was telling me about his new coffee machine.
