General home page
Danny's (non commercial) commercial Gaggia page

These pages were initially created to record my experiences with commercial
lever espresso machines.  I subsequently built a mobile espresso bar for outside
events, played with home roasting etc, so this site now has a variety of content, both
coffee and non-coffee related.  The links below will take you to areas of the site covering
espresso - roasting - the mobile espresso bar - vacuum brewers - moka pots
other old equiment - audio (hi-fi/valve radios) - paraffin appliances (Tilley/Aladdin/Primus etc)
early domestic appliances - toasters - etc

Want to stay somewhere rather nice in France?
How about a beautiful Gîte owned by a very good friend of mine:

"Our luxury family gîte is on the edge of the quiet hamlet of Erbray in the French countryside minutes
 from the famous market town of Chateaubriant, which has a wide range of shops and restaurants.
 Local shops are only a five minute walk away. It is a perfect location, whether you wish to visit Brittany,
 the Loire Atlantique,  and the other close regions of France, or even just relax on the deck outside the heated pool
 following a relaxing hour or so in the sauna or jacuzzi..."
