That was my second question - which coffee do you use? 

Lavazza is popular over here - and that is what I am using at the moment. I bought Segafredo in Firenze back in March and then Cafe Vergnano in Torino back in October - sadly I have ran out!

Have you got a grinder Chris? I use a Gaggia MM with my La Pavoni Europiccola. Gives you many more options in terms of roasts etc. Have used

Lavazza has a good price/ quality ratio. It is very common to find that coffee in Italian houses. Segafredo is a similar, cheaper, choice. Caffè Vergnano is a step higher, in terms of quality. Illy is simply the best of all (not taking into consideration small artisan coffee roasters, of course).

Loved the pics Paulo.

Thank you Chris.

You are perfectly right. Just mad and funny! :)

So, moved the attyca to the attic and sort of squeezed the F1000 in the office.

Will see how I like it the next weeks.

Yes, you're right. It is the Lake Garda. I live in Riva del Garda. :)

Here's another Lake Garda twist: That's where I proposed to my wife! Well, not in the lake but in a wonderful old Italian garden next to it.

Here is a shot of my Form 2s on my desk.
