El Nino_Al Nito 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2010 Martello is a capsule concept similar to Nespresso.. I'm not too sure whether you can use all kind of capsules or just only martello's own.. If you can only use back martello's capsules I think you'll be better off getting a nespresso, at least the supply of capsules is there.. thanks for the replies J&G...good to know of your positive experiences with Ariston and Mayer. so the nespresso machine for frothing milk is the aerocinno model? do nespresso supply tea capsules as well? i looked ard seems like this martello have some tea capsules also. forgot to ask if they can use all kind of capsules though...

Do you have a photo of your original door? after seeing your final piece, we are considering to do the same as yours too! We don't have a picture of the original door.. As for the cost wise, I don't really know cos it's done by the ID carpenter as part of the package, but should be around 300 to 400 for the laminates and labour. It is quite a siong job and most carpenters don't like to do it.. You have to take the door off the frame, remove all the locks and hinges, sand it down throughly to remove the old coat of varnish and then apply the laminate. A full day job.

JandG 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2010 thanks for the replies J&G...good to know of your positive experiences with Ariston and Mayer. so the nespresso machine for frothing milk is the aerocinno model? do nespresso supply tea capsules as well? The aerocinno is a electric jug used just for frothing milk.. Some Nespresso machines comes with a Aerocinno built in together with the espresso unit, for the rest of the models it's a option to buy as a separate item. No tea capsules for Nespresso. i looked ard seems like this martello have some tea capsules also. forgot to ask if they can use all kind of capsules though... Interesting but don't think it's a good idea to make tea from a coffee machine. The tea will probably get contaminated with the taste of coffee.. Unless you like yuan-yang..

TIA Does your main door comes with a door-closer? The ball bearing is actually on the door-closer arm. You can change out the whole arm, as long as your original door-closer body's socket matches with the new arm.. If it doesn't, then you have to buy a complete new set, consist of the body and the arm.. If it all sounds too complicated then you can look for Jonas at Contat Decor Tel: [+65] 6442 5370, 6442 5270, 6442 5370 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here's some pics of the Aeroccino. Second pic is of it in action frothing milk.. Yuan-yang is coffee mixed with tea. Popular drink in HK, not widely drank here but you can get it at TCC. You will definately get the strong coffee smell when you pull a shot of espresso with the Nespresso. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
