Coffee machines

[Spirit Level]

I use a Breville BES840 with a Sunbeam EM0480 grinder.

Excellent combination

Got a sunbeam one at home which I have had for maybe 7-8 years. Not a pod machine, and it makes damn good coffee. Is on it's way out and still haven't made up my mind which way i'll go when I need to buy a new one. I like the convenience of a pod machine, but I also like actually making the coffee my current machine provides.

Not a pod machine.

Get a real coffee machine.

Pods are terrible for the environment.

Yeah I probably will. But my old clunker is still working well after all these years, and it still makes a good coffee.

I've got a Bialetti like this. What do you use for milk?

I don't like the taste of milk, so that takes care of that

ITT: Coffee ******s

I'm sure there'll be plenty of stories about a great cup they had in Paris, Vienna or something else, coffee and travel w***ers combined!

I got my parents the Latissima Plus machine a couple of years ago, they mostly buy the generic pods that are a Nespresso compatible, it's handy having a machine that does everything in one button. Our old machine had a separate milk frother and it never got used. Having said that if I was buying my own machine now I'd get a proper one, even though I'm far from a coffee snob the pods just don't taste the same.

Anyone got a really good coffee machine they want to talk about?

I'm contemplating getting one soon but they're priced a bit like boats. Entry level isn't much then as soon as you go up a little bit in spec the price goes up exponentially.

We have a Wolf inbuilt coffee maker, but I think it was a vanity purchase to match the rest of the Wolf/Subzero appliances.

Don't get me wrong, it's really good, but I feel it's overpriced and I've seen less expensive machines do a better job.

I moved onto college and bought a cafe style kambrook espresso machine for a discounted price of only $150.

Takes about 5 minutes to brew all up including the froth to top it off. Well worth the price.
