Coffee machine thing

Mokka Pots get great reviews, but I've never made a coffee that I think is "very good" with one ever.

Better than a filter jug, or cafeteire , sure, but not a patch on a pumped espresso machine, even a £60 one.
just can't get the pressure to get a decent crema, even the brikka ones.

Ive got a Tassimo but its shite and I dont like having to buy pods.

Whats a decent one for actually froffing the milk and sorting the beans out?
 
Got me mam and dad a Nespresso for Christmas and they love it, and it does make a canny cup. I’d always go for a proper espresso machine and a grinder mesel. Mine are separate so if one gives up the ghost I simply replace that instead of forking out for a whole new bean to cup machine. I only drink normal coffee so never even used the frother on mine.

A bag of beans gets me around 30-40 cups at a guess so 10p a cup or so. And the coffee is better than the Nespresso. You can get a nice big cup as well if you pack enough coffee in, the Nespresso you’d need to use two pods.

I’ve got an aeropress at work and it is good, better than a cafetiere, but no comparison to a proper coffee from my machine at home.
Aeropress in my office too. Everyone wants one when they visit
Get the grind right and you can put some decent pressure on the plunger
Definitely getting a bean to cup now the new kitchen is fitted at home
 
My Primadonna is too. Probably the same actual mechanism, just different interface
For the money, you'd expect it to be a bit quieter.

Daft thing is, with us, regardless of which type of machine/pod the wife uses (latte, cappuccino etc) she stirs it anyway, so it ends up just a cup of white coffee.:rolleyes::)
