Although I’m not familiar with the finer details of Delonghi machines, they have a fairly good reputation - I assume you can adjust the grind settings in which case start reasonably fine and adjust either way as necessary!!

I had a Siemens Bean to Cup machine that served me well for about 12 years, but when it finally gave up I bought a Sage/Breville Barista Pro - it’s a bit more hands-on but I don’t mind that as I enjoy a little tinkering!!

I'll definitely try Anjana very soon. My Thai lady swears by a Thai brand which they sell in Makro but whenever we go there it's always already sold out! Very popular, can't recall the name as I didn't see it for so long.

Good thing about Anjana. They have a roast date not a sell by date. Like supermarkets

In supermarkets coffee could be one or two year old

Sure your wife will like anjana

Did Amazon deliver it to Thailand and if so did you have to pay customs duty?

There have been a number of reports of items delivered not being what was ordered, but a pair of black socks for a coffee machine must be the most bizarre!! Still by the sound of it, you’re now a happy camper (or coffee drinker)!!
