Matt Beeching beat me to mentioning Nespresso- I got one of these from an HKUD deal on the Siemens machine. Think usual price is around £100 but it produces excellent coffee and the pods works out at around 26p which is a tenth of what i used to pay at starbucks and nicer though its a pain you can only buy pods online/at Selfridges. I use it all the time now and its great, i do have a cafetiere and a stove top espresso maker but i they don’t get used out laziness which is why i’d never spend £400+ on a machine even if i want to.

Expensive machines are crap. Filtered Jamaican Blue Mountain or any other 100% Arabica Beans will beat any muck produced in these machines in these rip off so called coffee houses and at a fraction of the cost.

We used so much Nespresso that the machine broke. Unfortunately that also gave the boss opportunity to stop buying capsules so we’re on boring old instant these days.

We had a £4k coffee machine at work, but it couldn’t keep up with demand. So now they have purchased an actual starbucks machine, same as in the shops, at £10k. Probably a good investment, as now no one has the excuse of ‘popping out to get coffee’, which I’m sure is the real reason people are willing to pay £3 a cup

I think the coffee machines are nice but extremelly overpriced, they are only that priced cause they are a fad

“Almost three-fourths of Brits drink coffee regularly”

Cut Vince baby some slack, apparently he/she is from the States where they use such fractions.

I have been going mad trying to find some. Cheers all

Oh dear, Guy’s nose is still out of joint, bizarre that he chooses to refer to himself as a “cunt”, how peculiar. One can only assume that either school kicked out early today or he had detention, can anyone tell me what “pretnetious bastards” are? Is is some sort of reference Pret a Manger?

I’d rather drink my coffee from a mug than a cardboard cup. Call me old fashioned

Almost two-fourths of Brits call three-fourths three quarters, as does the other eight-sixteenths !!!

Thats because Tea from shops tastes like rats piss. At least coffee masks the flavour.

I dont know many people, who go around to someones house, stick on a brew and drink coffee, mostly tea like.
