Nespresso Vertuo machine / pods.

[N4LLY]

A few month's ago i purchased a Nespresso Vertuo coffee machine.

I came with a variaty pack of coffee pod's. I then started looking for different coffee's to try.
Was then i discovered that Nespresso have a monopoly / patent and there are no 3rd party suppliers :x

They are expensive at Ca. 0.92p ish a POD

More research and discovered these. Recycling at the same time, a win, win !

Normally a Tassimo Americano drinker which is about a fiver for 12 pods although I have a love hate relationship with the pod machine as it will work fine then every so often fail to fully puncture the pod with the coffee granules going everywhere and the water backing up inside the machine, makes a right mess.

Funny seeing Mellow Birds thats what my parents had in the 70s along with Babysham and Dream Topping

I’m a coffee drinker, but I’d rather drink tea than instant coffee.

Have trusty old Bosch Tassimo, but thinking about a bean to cup machine… they’re not bloody cheap though

My wife uses an electric coffee bead grinder and then makes her coffee using a cafeteria. Me I'm okay with instant but prefer tea.

Your house must be really posh if you have cafeteria… is it self service or do you employ staff :wink:

 

[buzyg]

Tea for me.

We had a Delonghi semi automatic (bit like a DCT) version for the last 7 years…after 3 overhauls and over 2,700 cappuccino’s later it was not making temp so this Christmas we treated ourselves to a full manual job..

It’s got lots of options like variable pre impregnate time, variable grind size, variable dose size and variable main water temp..

Not being used to a manual took a bit of time..

But…

It makes the best coffee we ever tasted by some way..

Not sure what price per cup is..but with the best beans i’s say about 10p-20p…

Was it not available in yellow?

When are you fitting the bigger Turbos and having it remapped?

If you like or love coffee and drink it regularly then a bean to cup machine is the only way that's cost effective, even with an initial outlay. I have two Siemens machine, one at home and one at work, drinking around five cafe latte's per day, regular strength and I use just over 1 kg of Lavazza (an easy coffee you can drink anytime of the day) beans per week at £11.00 ish a bag, so about 150 cups a month which is 7.3p per cup compared to 45p per cup for Nespresso original. You can get a half decent automatic machine that froths milk etcetera for £400 which will pay for itself in under 10 months, obviously depending on how you like your coffee and the blend/origin. I bought my first bean to cup machine in 2007, it was a Jura and six months later I bought a second Jura for work, the first lasted 10 years and the second is still going strong at work.

A French press is borderline acceptable, but only if you have to make more than six cups at a time, else buy a proper Italian percolator, at least they know how to do it properly, and anyone who drinks instant coffee, is really a tea drinker or still lives in the 80's

They do some of their machines in yellow but amazingly our kitchen has touches of blue / green in it…

I did know a guy with a built in machine who had his pressure boosted from 15 bar to 20 bar… :tumbleweed:

Sadly TIS doesn’t document these machines and I can’t find an app to reflash it..

Just have to live with the masses…. :rofl:

Very happy with our Dualit espresso machine. Super simple to use, takes ground coffee or pods (which I never use) and has an effective milk frother. Also a tenth of the price of some of the fancy “Sage” ones.
