A mate of mine works for Nestle & gets these at a good discount

Always have one when I pop round to his house & they really are nice,

But I dont see the point of paying all that price unless your some sort of Coffee conaseur

I have a tassimo. Its a good bit of kit but the pods can get expensive if you use them a lot. If you get one get a popular one with widely available pods

Get a coffee bean machine, we have one at work and can do a bag a day between 3 of us :evil: best thing is being able to decide what coffee beans you buy !

We have the Krupps Dolce Gusto machine: http://www.comet.co.uk/p/Coffee-Makers/buy-KRUPS-KP210040-Coffee-Maker/490466 (http://www.comet.co.uk/p/Coffee-Makers/buy-KRUPS-KP210040-Coffee-Maker/490466)
It makes pretty good coffee and hot chocolate.

The other thing to consider is the price of the pods.
With the Dolce Gusto pods, you buy a box of pods for about £3.50, which for gives you 16 pods, now normal coffee is just 1 pod per drink (ie 16 drinks) but with cappuccino, latte and hot chocolate you use 2 pods per drink, so you only get 8 drinks from a £3.50/16pod box.
Not sure how that compares with other makes though.

Just bought the o.h. the baby krups (picollo) machine so here's hoping it's alright...
