 This is a project to improve our ability to have a decent coffee fix.
+===Goals===
+Minimum viable product: a decent cup of espresso.
+Real aim: we should be able to get pretty reasonable milk & espresso based drinks.
+===Challenges===
+* the coffee machine isn't so reliable - probably because it gets limescale?
+* we don't have a decent tamper for pressing down the coffee
+* we don't have a decent grinder
+* don't know where to get decent coffee
+* not the right gear for doing milk stuff
+==Planned ideas==
+===make or acquire a tamper===

+===make or acquire a grinder===
+Maybe we can find a cafe that's closing?  Actually making a grinder needs very precise machining of two big lumps of metal.
+===improve coffee machine===
+We have a nice machine already[[Equipment/Gaggia Coffee Machine]] but it has some problems
+* it's difficult to put water in  - need to stick a handle on the top
+* it seemed to get clogged up  - probably limescale - need to clean & debug
+I have an old machine it might be worth attempting to repair so we have a spare.  I'm going to bring it in and see what can be done.  [[User:Majkl|Majkl]] ([[User talk:Majkl|talk]]) 09:27, 26 June 2016 (BST)
