I just can't get away with Lavazza coffee, even the beans. Granted I haven't tried this machine, but assumed as I don't like their beans, I wouldn't like this!?

I think that's what they use in spoons and I like their coffee.

I exclusively use Lavazza ground coffee because nothing else I’ve tried even comes close for me and I was interested when I got my Delonghi espresso machine but concerned they might be discontinued as Nespresso and Dolce Gusto seem to have the lion’s share of the market. If that’s true about outselling Nespresso in Italy I might consider it when my Delinghi dies!
been going for a while now and selling a couple million pods a month so certainly worth their while keeping it going

some nespresso onces come higher but at 5 times the price of the lavazza

I just got a nespresso machine for work on sale for 39 quid at AO
I have a bean to cup in the house and while the nespresso is good for what it is..theres no comparison to freshly ground beans...but then you have to be able to justify the cost
thankfully the wife agrees now and if this current one ever breaks theres no arguing about needing a replacement
i get my beans from hasbean (run by a big sunderland fan..he is always wearing some form of safc related clothing in all his trip blogs around the world) or from pumphreys if I need some in a hurry

I don't. I know. It is named after the brown robes of the Cappucine monks.
So a bit pointless without chocolate in it.

Keurig is the best by far, I wouldn't be without mine now. So good I bought one to have at work too

Ha'way man, "pointless" ? Really?
Its slightly different to a Latte, for people who want their milk a bit more frothy. As in, exactly as people like Cappuccinos.
Its just a sprinkling of chocolate, which for some people, ruins the flavour of the coffee.
Bit daft to get all silly about it really.
Stick with the basic machine marra. Nowt else comes close.
