Hi we're moving over to our place in Monte San Martino this Spring and I need to sort out some kind of internet connection. We do not have a landline and after much debate with Italia telecom it seems it will be many years before this is possible.

Result! Someone else paid £16 for the machine so now I hope I can just order the part. Theres lucky. Its not easy to retract a bid unless you have done something daft like said you'll pay £99 instead of .99p. thanks so much Alan for that info. Am
Alan thats amazing - their customer services - (I sent them a photo of the part and model no etc) said 'Thank you for your email We regret to inform you that the part you request is no longer available and is therefore obsolete. We attempt to use similar components as used in current appliances. Regrettably, in this instance that was not possible.' and the part I need is on their website for £2.60. and I bid £15 on a 2nd hand machine tonight on ebay for the part! Aaaaaargh. Bet I bloomin win it now. Sigh, grr, anyone near Humberside and want a good coffee machine - pick up only!! They were happy to post me the bit only bless em too. I will be having a wee word with their customer service dept. Why oh why did I not find that when I googled it? Thanks for the info. Am
Thanks for all responses, the Morphy Richards Roma is the one we have and I think they are no longer available - it was excellent but the plastic part holding the hot water head has split and they cant supply the part. Am in the process of trying to buy an ebay 2nd hand one in uk and just getting them to send me that part though given it is a well used machine I suspect I will only be delaying the inevitable purchase of a new machine. Personal experiences are so valuable, will check out all your suggestions. Yes I am a grinder of beans too, we have a great little grinder that just does enough for a couple of cups at a time. How mad that it may be cheaper to buy an Italian machine from amazon uk and have it sent back here than get it from amazon.it. I'd never considered that Italians may not make their own and just drink coffee in bars but I guess it makes sense. As I'm about 6km from a bar its not the answer for me! cheers all Am
Pods make lovely coffee but we drink quite a bit and tbh they are a bit pricy for me. Not keen on all that packaging either. Ange - hi hon thanks yes I know there are lots on offer and amazon.it are doing free delivery too and have some which I am trying to do research on, its just I have found that some are much better than others at that price and some are awful and you never know till you get the buggers home, plus I don't know the italian brands beyond the obvious. I am tempted by some of the bargains on ebay.it - is buying a 2nd hand coffee machine on line gambling? Ha. I am hoping someone will say - I just bought one of *those* and its fab or I've had one of these for years and it makes coffee as good as our local bar. And it was only 95€! I live in hope. Good coffee IS important and bad coffee makes me a bit grumpy. All opinions most valued. Ta Am
Great - I know exactly where you mean, thanks Penny, you are a mine of info. Will give em a go..
many thanks will ask for a quote..
Thanks guys, never realised a w/m drum could be so useful, will treasure it now lol. We're in MSM commune, am ashamed to admit I'm not even sure where the Monte commune office is but will try to find it and ask em. I presume its in the middle of the village! Sun loungers are well knackered, no use to man or beast. Have noticed stuff getting dumped by the green bins but thought this was probably frowned upon. Hmm may be able to use the rubble ourselves, have a wall to build so could put that in foundations now I think about it but thanks Penny will let you know if it needs a home. Am
Might be worth putting your place up here..http://www.guardianhomeexchange.co.uk/ihea/search.cfm?search=Std Am x
Oh blimey just looked at the website of the place in Fermo, fabulous stuff but suspect well pricy, too much for us I fear, I would be bathing like a filmstar but not eating for a while - I take it they are not cheap..Think I might need somewhere a bit less glam, thats the kinda 1800€ bath I won't ever be soaking in. Lovely to dream of though!
Thanks F and Badger...
