I used to take the beolit to work. Banged it against the door once (oops!).
After a recent purchase of a pair of Beolab 3's I took my Beolab4000's to work.
The Beolit can stay in the kitchen now (ready to be taken into the garden).
A few years ago I was on holiday in the Scottish Highlands. Best coffee in three weeks? At McDonalds! Oh dear how bad can it get.
Next time I bring a Handpresso or something like that.
