I am grateful to a Mr Allan Mothersill for a number of insights regarding the Dualit 84009 Chrome Espresso Coffee Maker, which he generously reviewed on Amazon UK.
He writes:
Im mostly a drinker off tea, but one off my mates tempted me to buy this, tellign me that it would make me look at coffee in a diferent light.
Consequentely I bort it and how glad I am! Get yorself some desent beans from the super market and prepared with this mashine, you will find coffee that tasts as good as Starr Bucks. Iff you think thats being genrous, it just shows how impressed i am with this mashine. It has certainly embiggened my appreshiation off the brown bean!
Why not 5 stars? Well its not as quick as instant unles you use the capsules though it tastes so much better so if your in a rush you have to fall back on instant.
I notice that he is not a lazy speller, as his spellings of of, if, consequently, supermarket, Starbucks and appreciation are all longer than the conventional versions, although his apostrophe key does appear to be broken.
The word embiggened (which he spells perfectly) is from The Simpsons, where the Springfield town motto is "A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man". Thanks to Mr Mothersill, I came across the Wikipedia entry on Simpsons neologisms, which includes such indispensible terms as Debigulator, Financial Panther and Karmaceuticals.
I do think he might have rather missed the point of the rating system though, by deducting a star when using the Dualit 84009 Chrome Espresso Coffee Maker turned out to be slower than making instant coffee.
