We also have a small Nespresso machine which we also take away with us, which my DH uses in his office at home, so we also have a slightly larger one for in the kitchen.

I use the Nespresso pods which we recycle but DH quite likes the Starbucks pods which are cheaper I think.

Mine is a Nespresso by Krups from John Lewis. Around £100 from memory. It is very compact and we take it away with us. The pods I use are a great alternative to Nespresso's own, fit the machine well, taste good and a lot less expensive.

I wish I could send you mine. I find the coffee the Nespresso makes unpalatable, though to be fair I’ve only tried Colombia, Livanto and Voluto.

Nespresso Magimix CitiZ are tiny - I got one for both my son and daughter for Christmas. The pods (from Nespresso) are recyclable.

I use a Bosch Tassimo machine, and buy pods in bulk from Amazon. Pods are not recyclable, but the coffee is wonderful.

Ive got a Tassimo, but it was a gift for Christmas. The pods have shot up in price, so I only use it occasionally now. I'd look in the sales. I'd also check out pod prices before you buy a machine.

Hi there. I've recently returned from staying in a place that had a wonderful Nespresso machine. I'm not a huge coffee drinker but really fancy a small machine for myself. Can anyone recommend a good one, that's not too expensive please? Also are pods very expensive? Are they still non recyclable? I've done a little research on Google but there are so many machines out there and so many different types of pods! I trust Gransnetters to give impartial advice! smile
