I don't covet many things, but the Rocket Espresso Giotto Evoluzione classic Italian style coffee machine currently tops my list. Read why in my article for the Sunday Telegraph supplement.

I spend my life reviewing gadgets, but sometimes it is fascinating to get the opinion of every day folk who don't know their Ice Cream Sandwiches from Gingerbread!

Pick up a copy of the Feb 2012 issue of Grand Designs and you'll find a meaty feature from me called 'Small projects, big benefits.' As a technology geek in a world of bricks, mortar (and the odd cushion) I love seeing just what can be done with poorly used space, a spare corner of the garden...or for that matter a bucket load of cash, and architect and a childlike imagination.
