Kitchen
The coffee machine we argue about
It cost too much. It makes good coffee. Both things are true every morning.
Maja Lindqvist
My partner bought an espresso machine during a hard winter. It has a pressure gauge, a heavy handle and a grinder that sounds like a small aeroplane. I was against it.
Now I am the one who uses it most. Grind, tamp, lock, wait for the thin brown stream. It takes four minutes and it is the only four minutes of the morning nobody talks to me.
Cleaning
That is where the arguing happens now. The machine gets cleaned on Sundays. Whoever made the last cup does it. We both pretend to drink tea on Saturday evening.
