The issue with coffee not being hot enough I just rinse the cup with boiling water first for a 30 seconds.

The other thing is storing the beans. Like instant coffee, the first cup is always the best. If you don't store them right they don't last that long before they go stale. About 4-5 weeks or so.

Not really an issue here we go through 4kg of beans in about 5-6 weeks ��

:shocked: That is a lot of coffee. Only me that drinks coffee here, so 1kg avg 1-2 cups a day. By the end of the month I can tell it's already stale.

Do you have any recommendations of beans at all. Always open for suggestions.

Had the machine in just under a year and I think we’ve made about 2300 drinks, because we (I) drink so much coffee we just buy whatever’s cheap on Amazon

Just bought
A robotic lawnmower (for s&g)
New glasses
Added another watch or two to the collection (treat to myself for my 50th)

Try buying some freshly roasted beans - it really does improve the taste.
