I understand theres machines that do nicer coffee, but our lass (who doesnt like coffee), says if we are spending big bucks on another kitchen gadget then it needs to be able to make hot chocolate. So if there is a better model that makes coffee chocolate and tea then someone tell me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4510 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Aye, I think I read somewhere it ranges from 30-45 a cup. I don't even drink that much coffee, probably a few cups a week. But the idea of having a selection of different teas and coffees to pop in occasionally sounds appealing. A quick search tells me Tooj and JawD have trod this path already so I would be interested in their thoughts as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWalrus 0 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Get yourself a coffee grinder (£15) and an espresso machine (£50) and do it properly. Cheap, fresh coffee.Hot chocolate shouldn't be made in a machine - pan of hot milk with a few cubes of melting drinking chocolate is the way forward.

If I was really into coffee I would definitely go down that route but Im not. I might have a nice coffee one day, a latte the next or an unusual tea. I think my question was more if there is a machine that does all the tassimo does, but better. It's looking like there isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 We had a lot of problems with our Nespresso machines, we had 2 which broke, parts needed replacing and it was a ball-ache. We got given a 3rd one about 3 years ago and now don't use it anymore as its a pain getting the capsules. That Tassimo looks good, get the one with the features you want, I doubt the difference in coffee quality is discernible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Yet to be bettered Definitely. Love that far more than I ever did my Tasimo. You're out of luck CT as I gave mine away the other week. If you had have mentioned it a few weeks ago I would have happily let you have that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
