got fed up with instant coffee so got a tassimo machine, cost a fortune buying pods, so got a been to cup i pay £13.50 for a kl of lavazza beans that makes about 80 proper lattes or cappuccinos, better than Starbucks sell. thats 20p a cup including the milk
Same machine that I have. In daily used and still going strong after six years. I normally buy kilo bags of Free Trade Arabaca beans strength 5 but have recently bought a couple of Lidl’s strength 7 1.2kilo bags mainly because they were a bargain. Makes a nice brew too.
I use the Tassimo coffee machine with the Costa Latte pods, trouble is I can not resist a bargain and but them up when the pods are on offer, currently got about a 10 Month supply under the table :shock:
Doppio espresso,made in a pot,not a machine.
My espresso pot is a 1978 original I bought in Palermo.
It makes caffe’ as well today as it did the day I bought it.
Oh,yes-espresso & I have travelled a long road together…
Oh my favourite coffee is Nescafe Azera Americana. Its a very fine (powdery) medium tasting coffee. Or if I’m feeling rich, I might splash out on a box or two of Nestle Dolce Gusto pods, for my coffee machine.
I love that range of coffees too, but we prefer the Azera Espresso - though I don’t do well with caffeine so lately I’ve been having Kenco Millicano Decaf, which is a really lovely, rich tasting coffee.
