Happy to hear that you managed to find some. I also went back a second time to get a few more after opening one of them and testing it out! I'm hoping that they will last for at least a year of decent use. They appear to be very similar to the FLOVEME ones on Aliexpress - even the model number is similar: P235B vs P230 etc.

I am also hoping to use a few of them to power some cheap USB LED lamps similar to these if we have more loadshedding in the future.

I bought mine in September from ebucks store at 40% off using ebucks, I paid ebucks 7520 (R752) incl. delivery. T'was a very good deal, I should've bought 2 as now I could use another at home and they be a tad expensive now.

Not worth it even my b8000 hisense which is suppose be newish, apps never get updates. The Netflix interface looks like 480p, but it does play 4k.

I always use my apple tv 4k, much smoother and faster with regular updates.

It certainly looks the part. In my opinion, percolated coffee isn't all that good. The thing you want is an espresso machine. Even something like this makes much better coffee:

That is very subjective and a very broad statement to make. Everyone has different tastes and not everyone likes an espresso.

I have the Philips machine. It makes good filter coffee and is very convenient.

I had a saeco to na decade and then bought a Phillips series 3200. Actually flogging the saeco on Carbonite for less than a bleh coffee machine.

People think espresso and they think they can't make a decent Americano or something less strong. They are very versatile.

I would rather add R2k more and get the Breville Barista Express when it goes on special.

There are dedicated coffee threads. Let's stop polluting this thread :)
