L1s are often out on loan these days as we work hard to introduce New Zealanders to lever espresso machines which is a totally foreign concept here – green men from mars landing on the front lawn would create less surprise
but this morning, for the first time, i had machine no.1 at home, on the kitchen bench, on a timer so when i rolled into the kitchen at 06:30 it was aleady up to temperature and ready to pull the first shot. easy. always. with londinium. and out the door.
