Things I'd Like
- a magic computer keyboard, where you can use the mouse by just letting your hands move over it in Harry Potter style (curses to Apple for buying them for their IP and closing them down)
- A wireless Microsoft Arc mouse with touch-sensitive scrollpad
- Albertus Pro Complete Family Pack fonts
- A burnoose
- A velvet waistcoat
Things I have now got
- An AeroPress coffee maker
- This does pretty much what it says on the box: makes an excellent, smooth espresso quickly and easily. It’s a tad fiddlier than a cafetière, as you have to make the coffee into a jug if you’re making more than one cup, but it makes up for it by being trivial to wash up: the plunger cleans the main chamber as it passes through, so just get rid of the coffee grounds, and rinse the plunger, filter holder and (optionally) scoop. Oddly, I’m not quite sure I like the coffee that smooth, but it’s still early days.
