The only one to get if you are an expresso drinker is one of the Nespresso range.

Those machines are the devils work. I've seen people turn into crazed, foaming at the mouth, nutcases by them.

Stick to mineral water - save your soul and your sanity.

Latte or just a dark roast for work drink, strictly weekend for the expresso

Got the Dolce Gusto and it's a doddle to use. All the coffees (Latte, Espresso, Capp, Lungo and Choc) taste fantastic.

£3 for 8 cups aint that cheap though!

And they're cups, not mugs. Fill a mug with one and it tastes slightly less watery than cat wee

I have one of these as well, fantastic.

A Cappacino and a biscuit in the morning sets you up for the day.

Refills are a lot cheaper at Costco.

I have a senseo machine that was left by the last owner of the place I live. I'd liken the product that comes out of it to what you'd get when you wash out the coffee 'gruts' that have been lying around in a cafetiere- if you drank it.

Insipid, lukewarm weak and watery- quite revolting.

Would rate the Senseo as rubbish using Doewe Egberts pods, it's much better using Kenco pods although still not great. Not enough coffee and not hot enough. Wouldn’t buy another.

From what I’ve read Nespresso is the way to go, although probably at greater cost.

Get a Nespresso machine!
Not cheap, around £150 for a magimix cube variety, but makes gorgeous coffee.
Pods are about 25p each from Nespresso Nespresso™: the Art of Espresso. An exclusive Espresso Machine Range & 12 Coffee Premium Blends and come in boxes of 10. Loads of different varieties depending on strength taste etc.

Don't even consider the Tassimo. Luke-warm drinks and expensive refills.

The Nespresso's aren't just for expressos, you can get ones with the high pressure steam for cappucinos, lattes etc
