Hi
Anybody recommend a coffee pod machine
I doubt if any of them are much good it all depends on the
quality of the coffee. A filter machine is better.... lets you
use any coffee you want including Jamaican Blue Mountain, but
you don't stand much chance of getting the genuine article.
Twenty times more than they produce gets sold in the shops
The premium coffees from any of the supermarkets are quite good.
At present I'm using Cafedirect Machu Picchu which is excellent,
but can vary.

10 years ago Flavia machines were the best and are still sold on ebay
and Amazon along with refills. I had one, but the taste of the coffee seemed
to have gone down the pan so I gave it away. Takes about a second
to make a cup.

Flavia Fusion is the home machine.

The problem with any Pod machine is that they don't
sell that many and eventually you won't be able to
get any pods. At least Flavia have a large commercial
market as well, so should always be available.

Sorry doesn't quite work for me. Most bokeh highlights have to
be more circular, but not completely circular. The Tomioka 55mm f1.2
42mm has part of the rear element cut away to fit into the throat
of a 42mm camera and it looks quite nice..... see.....

No need for posts like that.

SRS are 1st Class.

Maybe they don't like dealing with people who are
too lazy to use the CAPS/Shift key on their PC.

You must have it in some sort of program mode Stan, and
it's changing to a better combination of aperture/speed.

Manual mode is probably the safest to ensure f/16, but make
sure that the lens isn't defracting too much at f/16.

I keep meaning to try some of my lenses to see which performs best
at f/16.

Thanks, I've already got that from a post on the European forum.
Downloaded it an hour ago but, they haven't emailed the key.
I thought it would have been almost instant
