The newer dark blue kazaar is nice. I dont bother buying anything weaker than purple. But a lot seem to like weak coffee especially if the frequent Starbucks

You got the first part right, I tend to have a Costa cappuccino at Stansted when I fly out here, the only way I can drink it is with about 4 sugars and some chocolate on top. and I've never managed to finish one.

Hence the at Swati saying it was drinkable.

For the money this, the stove pots are a pita to get right




But if you want to spend a bit than a mate just ditched his gaggia bean to cup for this and loves it.

Thanks, P1.

To be honest, I also have to have about 4-5 brown sugar sachets in that, and I can't finish it either. But for whatever quantity I can drink of it, I like it for the quality i.e. nice taste for my taste buds.

I don't like chocolate powder on top, though. I can't see any point in that. Like an anti-placebo, that actually kills my coffee.

550 quid to make a coffee.

That's nowt, my mate has a 1300 quid Miele, and still can't make a latte worth a poo ! My 60 quid Nespresso is perfect for my needs :-)

Kazaar is nice, but Indryia is still my fave

What do you coffee gurus think to the Delonghi Magnifica?

Supposed to be pretty good Rob, I use Nespresso and so always lust after a proper bean to cup one... church have the Jura one which is pretty cool.

My only advice is anything like this requires cleaning and faffing something you don't really have to do with the tassimo/Nespresso and dolce ones... but proper beans mmmmmm lovely, I spotted that offer too but wife told me no LOL....

Cheers Ted,

I've watched the YouTube clips and read the reviews and it does seem they use quite a bit of water through prime and cleaning, still tempted though.

I'll see what happens with the offers tomorrow (cyber Monday), you never know they knock a few more quid of the offer or extend the warrantee making it more attractive.

FWIW i like my Tassimo for ease, and coffee is better than any standard powder crap, but it just doesn't beat a proper ground coffee as you were saying.

I'd looked at those Jura's, they are probably one of the better ones but come at a premium price, I don't think I can justify a grand whilst we are living in a half finished house

At that price get it bought! I have their perfecta bean to cup machine which I paid £750 for a year ago, and while it felt expensive at the time, it was absolutely worth every penny. Bottom line is everything in their range is just really good, you pay a premium for whistles and bells.

Buy those bodum double wall glasses for an extra tenner - my bro bought me those for Christmas last year, they are a really nice thing to enjoy your coffee from.

Cheers bud, I thought id hang on for Cyber Monday, but no further deals have materialised so I guess I'll buy this one from Currys.

Thanks bud, I had milk frother in the past, and I found it did a crap job, how does this compare?

BlkKnight

I don't use it personally (americano).

The guys at the office seem to turn out decent looking cappuccinos
