Just after a cup, not freshly ground but half decent, I've thought about buying myself a proper bean to cup machine but as I'm the only coffee drinker in the house it's hardly worth the faffing about.

I only got an airfryer about 6 months ago and can honestly say I wish I'd bought one years ago. So convenient for meat , I honestly hardly use the oven now. As regards coffee machine , I only have 2 cups a day, black coffee no sugar. One when I get up before work and one when I get home e from work and I just drink plane water in work all day. So I think a coffee machine would be wasted on me. But the airfryer was life changing lol 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was eating salmon 2-3 times a week after the salmon run, always air-fried unless baking whole fish, evolution of cooking, went from the sacred flame and open fires to microwaves and airfryers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
