Have Lavazza and Nespresso pod machines and I think the Lavazza machine makes a better coffee. The Aldi pods and L'Or ones I've used for Nespresso haven't been bad. People complain about the price of Nespresso pods, around 30p each, but the Tassimo ones work out about 50p
Now bought a De'longhi bean to cup machine so need a bigger kitchen.

Bought it recently for a kiosk that my wife has. We only serve filter coffee due to the size of the place, you wouldn't believe the amount of people who have no idea what a filter coffee is. "I'll have tea instead" "have you got instant ?"
Now our problem is the regulars love our filter coffee and don't want Latte or Flat Whites. Using Lavazza beans which were on offer at Costco, £6.99 /Kg and seem to give good results. Bargain
Quality coffee is lost on me I'm afraid, Tesco's finest Gold tea bags does me just fine and I'm a massive fan of Costa's Latte's, McD's do a tidy Latte to, I just don't do strong coffee. Although they be of value to me before a training session.

I need to pay more attention to the likes of Alidi's and Lidli. her indoors shops in Tesco spends about 130 a week then picks up the odd bits through the week, the youngest lives off his supplied special feeds because of his condition so there's only three of us grubbing, incredible.

More money than sense, some of you boys.
I had a bargain Loh, when David Morgans were closing in Cardiff they had a cracking sale, I picked up a £700 Gaggia for less than half price. Great bit of kit, makes the house smell lovely but the downside is that you have to maintain the thing fairly regular.
Top tip: Do not use tap water as it will corrode the boiler inside

We have had a nespresso machine for a couple of years and wouldn't be without it.
Best kitchen thing we ever bought. Buy a coffee machine with a milk frother though.
Coffee is better than Costa, Starbucks etc in your own home.
Yes they cost 30-35p each but worth every penny. And a lot cheaper than. The £3 average cost of coffee in the above cafes!
All pods are collected free of charge and fully recycled.
I agree though you need to buy the official Nespresso pods of which there are about 25 varieties . Steer clear of the compatible ones.
There is a real art to getting the milk right and you won't get it right with a Nespresso, you will need a pump espresso machine with good quality beans. The coffee shot should be reddish brown in colour almost caramel-like. The tamping in of the grounds is important too, too loose and it'll come out like piss, too tight and it will take too long to extract resulting in burnt coffee.
You'll need semi-skimmed milk at a very cold temp, a stainless steel pitcher with a heavy base and then the tricky part - the steaming. The wand has to go just beneath the surface so that you are not frothing it but heating it and making the milk 'spin'. The milk should double in volume and at a certain temp you turn off the steam. The milk should be velvety and when it is like this you can do all the hearts and rosetta things in your coffee. I can do it (took me a good while) but it's great to serve it to guests. The trick is to tilt the cup and slowly pour to the back of the cup and when you have enough in then tilt the cup away slightly and shake the pitcher from side to side drawing it back towards you finishing with an upward sweep towards the back of the cup.
