Italian Socket Challenge

Next morning I was dreaming of have a nice coffee with breakfast to kick iff the day with a punch. My Gaggia felt happier back on his native sole and was eager to produce some of the black gold its famous for. I took the cable and tried to put the plug in the socket....impossible! The socket holes were too tiny to fit a coffee bean in.

Checking other cables it soon became clear that nor my coffee machine, pc, kettle, ect ect was not fitting in this piccolo italian socket. Got on my bike cycled into the town in search of a hardware store that understand my socket challenge. At the beginning of the mainstreet there was a big hardware store selling everything from plastic handbag holders to electronic security chain cutters. The owner sort of understood my question and showed me to the back of the store, to face a huge wall that had at least 300 little wooden drawers each containing a possible solution to the socket challenge.
Can i have numer 7 please? No, this one. After 5th he found my adaptor that would take care of it all, for only 2 euros a bargain!

Back at home the ultimate test....brrrrrrrr the machine comes to life and the beans are being grounded, it takes more than a tiny italian socket to prevent me from having my espresso in the morning.
