Coffee Makers: It’s a matter of taste

It’s not just matters of education that are discussed over at the TES website. This online ’staffroom’ for teachers - as with any other community - debate a wide range of subjects and several members have recently turned their attention to that staple of any staffroom - the coffee machine.

Opinions on the subject of which machines are best are as varied as the individual tastes: filter, espresso, latte and even frothy chocolate are all mentioned as favourites among the staff. Such is the knowledge imparted on the subject that dinx67 asks member LadsNR: “Are you the TES equivalent of Which? magazine?” and “Do you have any recommendations for a vacuum cleaner?” to which she replies “Our last 2 vacuums have been Miele I love them”. The debate quickly returns to the subject of coffee however and whether the Italian method of a slow boiling pot of the stuff is really the last word in taste.

To catch up on the coffee debate and perhaps pick up a vacuum cleaner recommendation into the bargain, jump over to the forum and have your say.
