Rocket-Boy Posted June 11, 2016 Posted June 11, 2016 Im not so sure.... Everyone needs to start somewhere. Im not sad I started with a nespresso back when they first came out.It made it impossible to drink instant coffee and I was left wanting more which lead to a whole slew of coffee making contraptions/appliances.

They appeal to the mass market, not the connoisseur (coffee snob <- me). And that's the problem. Too many people dumping more ****. Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk
cadenceblur Posted June 11, 2016 Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) Indeed the cost and quality is also out of whack. To each his own I guess, but not good for the environment. Nespresso have seen this and have offered some deal on used pods if I'm not mistaken. How many people return them though? Edited June 11, 2016 by cadenceblur
hayleyearth Posted June 11, 2016 Posted June 11, 2016 At work we have about 40 of these if not more (this is in my Pod's kitchen) .. And 15 of these. .. Pod = one open plan office There's plenty of Pods in one building.

Nespresso have seen this and have offered some deal on used pods if I'm not mistaken. How many people return them though?I do and, judging by the recycle bins in the Nespresso shop I go to, I'm not alone. Nespresso may not be up to the standards of the cognoscenti on this forum, but it's a start, and I also want more now but I'm in a bit of a cost bind; whilst Nespresso is now bloody expensive per cup, so too is a halfway decent grinder and brewing kit...
Pieter1 Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Hey guys. I dropped the pot of my Phillips coffee machine. Do any of you have a clue where I can get a replacement in JHB?
mtb impi Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 Hoping to get some good pointers/advice from the gurus and aficionados; I am looking at replacing my Nespresso (Maestria) that does home-duty. I'm running a little to rich on the black fuel, making sense in replacing the current with a "bean to cup" model. Trying to see what is good value for about R10 - 14k (or am I bluffing myself?). Also got to consider 15bar vs 19bar pump and quality of grinder blade. Years ago I had some experience with Jura and Sprada machines, - being Swiss, they worked like an ETA 2824 movement. I also like the Expobar, though they are espresso machines only (to my knowledge), and quite expensive I believe. A few other products that comes to mind is Severin, Saeco, Bosch. Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!

Milosh Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) http://www.aquaspresso.co.za/ The coffee I make is mostly black or Espresso so skipped the milk parts as they are a pain to clean ;-) Went Jura Micro 9 and just use a frother for the odd cappuccino, Also bean to cup is cheaper per cup than Pods but capital outlay more , ave 3 cups a day take about a year to start being more cost effective. but the smell and sound of beans grinding is priceless ....
