Thumbs up BARGAIN - Nespresso coffee machine

Magimix M100 + Aeroccino for £99.95 at John Lewis CLICKY



Free delivery, 3yr g/tee, possible £40 of JL vouchers HERE

Considering the Aeroccino milk heater/frother can be £80 alone, this is a real bargain, especially if the vouchers kick in too.

Add THESE and you can use normal ground coffee, dropping the price to ±5p/cup.

Personally I think using something like that defeats the whole purpose of having a Nespresso machine as you back to dealing with messy stuff rather than just throwing a spent capsule in the bin.

Anyway it's more like 30 - 35p a cup

Rumour also has it that the patent on the capsules expires sometime soon meaning there will be nothing to stop other coffee supplies from copying them and undercutting Nespresso if they so desire.

Mine arrived today Some doubts on HotUKDeals as to whether JL will honour the £40 of vouchers on this, but as they promoted it on the page for the item they are on a sticky wicket, albeit covered by the 'terms and conditions' get out clause. See if they crumble when faced with having to appear in small claims court over a measly £40

I have the citiz Nespresso with the milk frother,

I bought the coffeeducks and to be honest, it is a pain cleaning them after every use. I also found that I had to use the very strongest espresso grounded beans as they dont seem to fill an espresso glass as well as the original caps. For ref though I use genuine ristretto caps too and they work out around 28-30p per cup, not 50p.

That is only the espresso glass though. a cappuchino cup fits on the tray or you can fold the tray up and use a full mansize mug too

What? Tell him to just make a triple or quadruple shot of Ristretto. Has to be stronger than perculated coffee per amount served. And it tastes a lot better too

29p per Ristretto capsule no more no less. That is one thing that annoys me that no matter how many you order the price doesnt come down. They do waive the delivery charge if your order 200+ but surely they could give you a discount for 500+. I would club together with guys at work if they did.

When we first tried Nespresso at my mates place in France, his wife made our morning brew with two ristretto's per cup. Should be getting both my first batch of Nespresso capsules and my coffee ducks in the next few days, so I'll be experimenting.

Quick update....

Got my £40 of John Lewis vouchers through, effectively making the machine £60

The Coffeeduck pods have been a failure, buckling in the machine under the heat and pressure, and even using Taylors Hot Lava Java strong espresso ground coffee, is nowhere near the taste from the proper pods. The Indriya, Fortissio Lungo and Ristretto are especially good.

They are only good for single shots, I use all three when making a proper cup of coffee then let the third cap run on until I have enough in the cup, then add a splash of milk (sometimes)

It's got to be my imagination..?

It appears there is a different flow rate for different capsules.

Hope that hasn't been keeping you up for almost a year since it was posted?

But whilst I'm here, if anyone has bought a Nespresso machine in the last few months, or is thinking of buying one before June 2nd, I have a voucher to claim £50 Nesresso Club credit if you want it
