Coffee Pod Machines

[snowbelle]

I have a Tassimo lounging in the cupboard , the coffee doesn't come out warm enough for me and as I don't drink hot chocolate or really milky coffee it was probably not a good buy.
I bought a Dolce Gusto Piccolo for £10 off Gumtree and that served me well , sold it at a car boot for £15 when I bought the Tassimo
One of DH clients has an all singing all dancing Nespresso machine which DH says is good , but no more gadgets for us!

We had a Tassimo and replaced it with a Nespresso when it broke. We have a Virtuo and order the pods on line which usually arrive the next day, and the used pods are collected at the same time. We found the Tassimo coffee wasn’t warm enough for us and the Nespresso is just right.

We have a Nespresso vertuo now but have had other models before this one.
Coffee is nice and hot, lots of capsule choice (I have peppermint twist and gingerbread on the go at the moment) but the milk frother (aeroccino) is a must if you like Coffees with milk.
We have had a tassimo and a dolce gusto years ago but found Nespresso coffee is better.

I use to have a Tassimo and ended up giving that to my daughter when I treated myself to a bean to cup coffee machine.

We have this too and use it daily... can highly recommend! We had a dolce gusto machine prior to this but much prefer our Nespresso CitiZ.

We had Tassimo but change to Nespresso Vertuo during lock down wouldn't go back to Tassimo now the Vertuo coffee is much nicer. We use a milk frother bought Aldi's own for £20 does exactly the same as the aerochino but much cheaper and has a 3 year guarantee

I have a Nespresso Creatista Plus. It does the usual Nespresso pod to espresso/lungo that all the Nespresso original line machines do, but also comes with a milk steaming wand so that I can steam milk for lattes/cappuccinos/etc. It was expensive but I now spend far less at Starbucks (mainly as I can now make lattes/cappuccinos/etc at home that are as good or better than what I used to buy at Starbucks) so I think it works out perhaps?

Nespresso actually has two main lines of coffee pods. One is the original line with smaller capsules that are best for making espresso based drinks. The other is the Vertuo line with larger capsules that apparently work better for making other types of coffee drinks, but I'm not familiar with this line...

Another vote for Nespresso. I prefer the classic to vertuo since there's a better variety of after market pods available. And this over the other brands since I can choose and froth my own milk, rather than have it powdered in the pod.
