King_Crispy Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 I also have the De Lonhi. It works overtime and does not complain or strike. Love the machine. Nothing like fresh ground beans every time. I still want a Nespresso on the side though (for some reason)Was also considering getting one too. But then I realised it's just because everyone else is getting them. I prefer the taste of my coffee anyday.And it makes the entire kitchen smell unreal too HappyMartin 1
Falagar Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 I use the Nespresso Pixie with refillable caps (bought at Bedford centre).Works very well... I have tried it with Lavazza ground coffee and it compares very well to the coffee coming out of my friends high end Jura with the same coffee. It does take a bit of practise though but not that difficult. I have tried it with my own ground coffee but I think my grinder is a bit of a cheapy
Vlamrouge Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Got me a happy birthday grinder. I've been looking at that grinder as a possible replacement for my current one. Since you have been using it for over 2 months now. How is it performing and would you recommend it?

And what was the price like?
Adrian4Four Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 I bought my wife a Nespresso machine for her birthday last year. Best pressie ever! Only thing now is that I can't drink instant coffee anymore. I like the pod systems because everyone can have a different coffee when you are making coffee (my mom drinks de-caf, my wife a mild roast and I drink a strong roast).Pods can be bought at Nespresso stores or online. The machines heat up in about 20 seconds, and take another 30 seconds per cup of coffee. Its not messy at all and really easy to clean after use. I am trying to convince my boss to get one for the office as well. Pods cost between R5 and R7 each. While this may sound expensive, its worth it. HAHAHA... im sure you got the 'pressie' for yourself... the best presents are those that you can use too anyway
wynandvdmerwe Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Jura F7! If BATMAN had a coffee machine, this would be it... DR ◣◢ 1
Falagar Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) Where did u buy refillable caps at Bedford? And what was the price like? Got it at the little tea/coffee cubicle shop on the lower level. Close to Tony Impey Cycles. R99 for 3. You apparently get more than 30 cups from one cap... I did not count and mine is still working well. I used this thread as a guide for filling: www.singleservecoffeeforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=9423&p=92576 I might add that I push the cap quite hard towards the side of the container with quite a bit of grind between the cap and the side. As I said... took a bit of practise but second nature now. Hope you come right Edited January 14, 2013 by Falagar
Wayne Potgieter Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 New nespresso blends. They have taken the Livanto roast and flavoured it. Three varieties, Vanilla, Chocolate and caramel. Just ordered some of each. Lets see what they taste like.

Octavian Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Sorry, these are NOT LIMITED EDITIONS. They have been added to the permanent selection. Yes! Livanto is one of my 8 out of 10's. How do you rate it Wayne?
Wayne Potgieter Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Livanto is great. Its a 6/10 intensity, so it should appeal to most. Interestingly, it is only the third best seller in RSA (according to the nespresso chap I spoke too) Roma is the Top, followed by Vivalto lungo. I think it is a good choice for flavouring. It is mild, already has caramel notes too it. I am interested to taste the vanilla in a milk based coffee ie cappuccino etc.

That gets a 9 from me.
Wayne Potgieter Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Just got this... http://www.yuppieche...spresso-MachineI have the exact same one. Great machine Garfield2010 1

Surprisingly Indriya is not a big seller in RSA...I like the spiciness of it, so I am not sure why it is not favoured in RSA. Which is your FAV?
