    We've got a Nespresso, it makes a reasonable cup of coffee.

    I'm very tempted to get one of the new Nespresso Vertuo machines for the office. Pods are a bit dearer but I do prefer a longer cup of coffee.

        In the context of "I just want a quick cup of decent coffee without the faff of preparing and cleaning each time" ?
        I drink long coffee and if I am going effort-free I want to basically just press a button, not have to separately boil a kettle. Any recommendations?
        Ticks all the boxes, unsure where the button is situated

          Why don't costa or some such other do Coffee for delivery - have it ready for 6am delivered to your door. Loads of Milk persons would jump at the opportunity, would be the first time people are happy to see em. Electric vehicles, so it's green also. Fresh milk.

            That is hardly going to be quicker than dicking about with the stove-top pot even if there is one right outside. I don't think there is a Costa or equivalent within 5 miles of me...

            Yeah I prefer a proper mug though if I can make it whenever I want this might change to a cup. Will the original Nespresso not do long coffees then, I hadn't realised the Vertuo uses a different pod size. It was one I had noticed.

              Next time before wasting my time you can give me the full details of your location etc. Jeesh you try to help some people that can't even make a bloody coffee and you get agro.

                Won't Deliveroo deliver your morning coffee?

                Or if you are a home worker, phone service desk with a made up laptop issue and get PC to pick you up a coffee on his way round to note down the asset tag number, for escalation to support. Make sure you tip him, though.

                    I said I work from home. How many people's houses are next door to a Costa given they're generally either on high streets or in malls.

                      Is Psychocandy now demanding gender neutral pronouns? I don't mind, except for the number of new threads it's guaranteed to spawn.
