  I’ve got the Miele G7150 SCVi mentioned above.

  It cleans the dishes well, it’s very very quiet. To the point that I’ve opened it on more than one occasion when it’s been mid cycle.

  Check the Miele outlet centre as well to get discounted stuff

  I don’t want to sound like a prick so apologise up front.

  To give you some idea ours was laid over 2 weeks. That was approx 90m2. 1 week of preparing and 1 week of laying. They put a high temp screed in the kitchen over a concrete slab / screed and that was then sanded flat and filled / sanded till perfectly flat then they laid. In the rest of the house nailed ply to the floor boards then screed, again they sanded re screed and sanded re screed until totally flat again. 4 people. 90m2 preparing then laying. 12 m warranty on defects of fitting and lifetime warranty on product defects.

  Yep what @bobbo said in regards to the benefits. I’ve had oak in my last two houses and with kids and animals found it was a pain to keep mark free. We had lots of digs and marks from dropped toys etc.

  This stuff even though it can’t be re finished is super hard wearing. Yes you can cut it with a knife but for normal every day wear and tear it should not mark, it’s not affected by water either.

  So for us now, with two kids a bulldog and a cat it’s ideal. We have underfloor heating in the kitchen and it’s working lovely.

  It’s got a nice grain to it and Each individual tile has a bevelled edge, it does not feel like plastic & it’s warm to the foot. Cost wise it was £140 M2 approx fully fitted. Not cheap but it’ll last..

  May not be to everyone’s taste but we’ve just had Amitico put down across the whole ground floor. Very pleased with the finish and feel..

  Thanks will have a trawl,

  Does size of milk jug make a difference ? Because the steam is so much more powerful its getting pushed over the top.

  Or is that technique ?

  Does anyone have any good websites recommendations for frothing milk ?

  Have gone from a Gaggia Classic to a Lelit Mara and while the espresso is great, the steam is so much more powerful that we just end up with really hot milk.
