Delonghi EC330S Espresso Machine

Advantages: well priced, very easy to use
Disadvantages: steam arm is temperamental

...I bought the Delonghi EC330S after realising I was slowly emptying my bank account paying for numerous Starbucks' every week (even more after they opened one a two minute walk from my flat). Definite plus point in its appearance, it looks stylish and fits in well in modern kitchens especially. It does make good coffee, and although you need to warm the machine up, once you're used to doing this it really isn't a hassle. Although the previous reviewer recommended stocking up on pods, I would advise anyone to either buy coffee beans and a grinder or buy fresh coffee ground for espresso machines, as pods don't really make the most of having a machine such as this. A disadvantage of having this product are the steam arm is very temperamental and sometimes just doesn't emit much steam (despite being thoroughly cleaned). Also, if...

Best ECS

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...ECS, short form of Electronic and Computer Science Department, is rated 5 out of 5 in teachin qualities, providing most up-to-date and almost-perfect quality facilities in University of Southampton. The whole ECS is subdivided many groups, such as Declarative Systems and Software Engineering, Semiconductor, Telecommunications and so on for research. The reason I chose ECS mainly because of the lecturers' quality. They are helpful, kind and willing to spend their time on students no matter what problems they are having. In fact the subjects the ECS has are very suit to the world needs, which can assure students getting brilliant career when they graduated....

Ottoman Nights In EC3

Advantages: Friendly service - excellent food, great venue for a fun night out with friends
Disadvantages: Getting to EC3. Prices when not on offer.

...) Restaurant at 34-36 Houndsditch, EC3, it's because Saturday night in this part of the City of London is practically dead (and likely to get 'deader' if the current financial gloom widens). It also helps that being fairly new to the scene, they are also trying to build up a clientele of 'regulars'. After a short walk around the corner from the Bishopsgate exit of Liverpool Street station, first impressions are favourable with a neat appearance to the place although they couldn't spell 'Healthy' (Healty) on their daily specials board on the pavement. You are politely greeted at the door by waiting staff behind their 'rostrum' from which they confirm your booking, if you have one and shown to your table. Table settings are smart with real linen napkins done up with ribbons (sounds naff but it wasn't ). Décor was 'modern palatial' with much use...

Review of Kazan Restaurant

Get the towels ready....

Advantages: Chrome finish looks fab. Good weight and quality. Would be great value if it was useable!
Disadvantages: Water water everywhere (and still no coffee)

...I bought the DeLonghi Ec 270 for espresso, cappuccino etc and it looks and feels great. Bought from local outlet, not best price, just like to do that for after sales service. I loved the finish and weight. It made good coffee but right from the outset water leaked copiously from the reservoir seal and flooded the worktop. After a few such floodings I assumed it to be a one-off faulty machine. At this point I was glad I had bought locally. No trouble in getting it replaced but exactly the same happened with the new one. I checked everything, got others to look at it just in case it was me (I'm technically competent usually) but the conclusion was (in our humble opinion) it could be a design fault. Such a pity, because it looked like a great piece of kit at the price.....and rendered 'unfit for purpose' by one dodgy seal. Potential...

Astronomy and the archaeology of power

Advantages: Fascinating combination of subjects
Disadvantages: none

...The title of my review is the subtitle to E.C. Krupp's book, 'Skywatchers, Shamans, and Kings'. This serves to illustrate the point that in many civilisations, the roles of priests, scholars, scientist/researcher, astronomer/astrologer, and healer were often mixed, and generally closely related to the centre of power. Even today, the fact that the Queen of England appoints bishops who (many of them) also sit in the legislative body, is demonstrative of the hold-over that this kind of power has been through history. When the calendars for the year 2000 were prepared, they omitted the leap year, a decision made in a papal court hundreds of years prior, as being important for the proper alignment of the calendar season with the real location of earth in its orbit. Minor as these things may seem today, in the past they took on enormous...

Anyone for coffee?

Advantages: looks smart, good feautures, great machne if your a lover of coffee
Disadvantages: can pour uneven cups

...After moving in with some roomates about a year ago, and tasting the coffee they offered from the instant jar in the pantry, i knew something had to be done! And let me tell you there is no more spending dollars at the cafe every morning or night. The Delonghi EC190 is well worth it. If your someone thats used to your instant coffee, or the inexpensive perculator that produces some decent, not spectacular, but decent coffee, than stick to it, however, if you crave something better, this machine is definately suitable if your a good lover of coffee. im not to up to date with the technicalities, but apparantley one of the reasons it poduces good tasting coffee is that it has a 15 bar pump pressure. The Pump action Pump machines force the water through the coffee using an internal pump. This force is more intense than a steam machine...
