Hi again anyone interested in coffee machines..after exhaustive searching the best shop I could come up with is Moka in Salwa road that sell Saeco machines and a fancy lever Gaggia...All were too expensive compared with overseas prices so I ended up getting a Kenwood ES460 machine from Carrefours for around 450Qr which actually makes very good coffee. Nice amount of crema and very good milk frothing. I recommend this machine as a budget possibility.
As far as coffee goes I am still using my beans I bought over from NZ but slowly running out. Found some interesting single origin and blended beans at reasonable prices 30-40 Qr for 450gms at a place in LuLu centre on D Ring but cant remember the name of the shop but there are a string of others around Doha its like a franchise thing.
Good luck I'm off to enjoy a tasty Machiato without paying the ridiculous cafe prices here.
