What,s the best home Coffee Machine?

[Marc Lewis]

much like the tassimo we have the nespresso machine and it makes really good coffee. Loads of different flavours and ver little cleaning and no prep, just put the pod in and press buttton.

Nespresso all the way! All the other pod machines are a copy!! Check out John Lewis. Yes the pods are dearer than buying beans/ground coffee- BUT each pod will be fresh each time. Ground coffee starts to go stale within 1 hour of grinding unless vacuum sealed. Traditional espresso machines need to be seasoned before each use and cleaned each time. The coffee needs to be ground to a particular level to ensure that the coffee is extracted properly So if you want good fresh espresso coffee you will end up wasting quite a bit of coffee. Pod coffee does away with all of this. Sorry i'm a bit of a coffee spotter ;-)

My dad just picked up a Tassimo t20 from tesco for 54 knicker.

 

He is lazy and loves convenience. Suppose it is a step up from the Nescafé instant he's been on for the last 30 odd years.

This does it for me

After just missing the last of a French built professional machines ( with the agent based in NZ?)ie they discontinued production of domestic scale machines to concentrate on professional commercial coffee stuff.

I bought a Rancillo grinder and Rancillo expresso machine.

They have given 10 years sterling service.

We do not buy coffee out as the NI retail supply is generally shite.

Rancillo was recommened on some Dutch geezers site.

He was a complete coffee freak/nerd/prefectionist type.

His site was devoted to the never ending quest for the perfect expresso.

Btw, we simply buy 5 strength super market, (& generally Sainsburys), coffee beans
