Coffee Machines

There are a couple of online comparison sites to look at GrandmaH. (How does a coffee/tea/etc maker cost £9,000+ ? ) It all sounds like so much expense, fuss and bother to me...Give me my pint pot of Douwe Egberts every time.

I've had a Tassimo and a Nescafé Dolce Gusto. The Tassimo made the better cappuccino but there's not much in it. Just made a cappuccino from the DG and it's nice and hot.

I ? my Tassimo!!

I'm with Grannylyn65 I love my Tassimo . The latte makes a full big mug and i find its hot enough . My DH drinks his black and hasn't complained ( always a good sign) .

Just as an aside though , there's a sign in my favourite coffee shop that states they serve the coffee at 60 degrees because this gives the full flavour of the bean AND keeps the natural sweetness of the milk. I have to say they make a great cup of coffee so maybe there's something in that !

Nana, have you tried the 'cafe au lait/ cafe con leche? is my currant favourite!

Grannylyn65 , no I don't think I have ...but i love their cadburys hot choc :-),,,,oooh i feel a coffee coming on !!

Tassimo and order coffee through Amazon. I love my machine!

Hey wot you did it!! Congrats
I get mine from ebay!

My Tassimo is in the loft as it did not make lattes hot enough for me & I wasn't happy with the choice of coffees. I didn't like the taste of the milk pods either. I guess I am difficult to please.

My DH would certainly agree to that!

Back to the drawing board.

We have a dolce gusto. Makes lovely coffee, hot chocolate and tea! I want a tassimo for my birthday too!

I would like a bean to cup machine. I might get this one

Bought son a Tassimo last Xmas and he loves it. I would hate to be tied to pods though.

I also have a Dolce Gusto, love their Cortado pods. We also have a Dualit electric milk frother. Husband and I did have a BAD coffee habit and were always buying a cup whenever we were out, I now find I prefer my coffees at home far more.

Nespresso for me every time.

this sounds a good one for ground coffee good reviews too.

Actually it was a Nespressoe I bought for son. Not a Tassimo.

without the e.

Can't actually drink coffee now anyway. So I'd better stop looking.

Thanks, Grannylyn! Also, I'll check out ebay for the coffee.

Cofffee makes me jittery but I love it! And I cannot abide tea, even just the smell of it. Cold fullfat milk's my favourite drink though. I'm sure you wished to know that!

I have had four mugs of tea today. So far. Trying to work up artificial enthusiasm for taking Xmas decs down.

Can't digest coffee anymore. Sigh.

I like hot milk.

I love coffee, but too much caffeine makes me jittery. I keep both regular and decaf (tea and coffee) on hand and trade off. Instant only, I'm afraid, although I used to have a drip coffee machine. The problem was when I made a full pot of coffee, I drank a full pot of coffee. Then I jittered for hours.

I can't bring myself to spend those amounts on fancy coffee makers and wouldn't want to get stuck using pods. I do like some flavoured coffees (like Beanies), but save the lattes and such for when I'm at Waitrose shopping and get a free one. It seems more like a treat then to me.

I actually sometimes make filtered espresso with my beans of choice and just make the latte part or cappuccino part in my tassimo , then blend the two.

I spent many year in the army and at uni drinking terrible instant coffee out of paper cups , I swore with my first good job I'd be a DeLonghi and never drink instant again lol
