Default Which Coffee Machine?

Got roughly £100 budget, but a little flexible if needs be.

Looking for a coffee machine - Tassimo, Lavazza, type thingy which takes the coffee pods. Anyone got any recommendations?

Cheers all.

My personal opinion is don't bother,

We have a Tassimo thing at work and i don't think they taste as good as instant coffee plus they never seem hot enough. They are also a pain if you need to make more than 1 cup

At the moment im buying Carte Noire instant - plenty of flavour

the tassimo I drinks I have had taste great, but the machine was huge and took up loads of space, this was a couple of years ago so things may have changed.

If I were you, I'd get a cafe-tier (SP) Then spend the £92 change on a return flight to Italy to buy some fresh coffee..

I bought a percolator from Morrissons for £12, and it does the job just fine. The hot plate doesn't really keep it warm for that long but I tend to just make small batches anyway.

£12.00 - can't really go wrong!

Is this the most middle class thread ever?

Kettle, boil, coffee, cup, milk/sugar/whatever.

Done.
