Sorry to chime in here, but I believe Steve was asking for suggestions that are NOT sold by the RNIB etc. I love my Magimix nespresso coffee machine. Very easy to use, and also has a milk warmer and frother. Very easy to use and clean. I am also a big fan of halogen ovens, very quick and convenient. My other useful gadget is a electric slicer and grater from Tefal. I have a Panasonic bread maker which I used to use when I had vision, but find it a bit tricky now as the LCD screen is not accessible if you have no vision. Anyone know of any accessible bread makers?
