I'm pretty good for creams/soaps/razors/hones/brushes so we shall just have to see what ends up, under the tree!
DING! TechniVorm MoccaMaster here. Worth every penny and more. Also have a french press and use that every three or four days. Haha, had an elaborate expresso machine (maaany years ago) from a friend's bar that went belly up. Wasn't exactly practical in a small house and I couldn't maintain it so I gave it back to him and he sold it.
