Which Coffee Machine?

[ratewhore]

No wonder IT projects fail if you need help to choose a farking coffee machine.

Jesus man!!

I have instant coffee and use the clientco coffee.

I guess that put me inside IR35.

I've got a Nespresso. Not available in the UK yet then?

Big commercial style ones (£1000 ish) are good, but they need to be used nearly constantly otherwise the coffee can taste a bit metallic.

Kitchenaid do an awesome home one for about three hundred quid.

The most important thing is: grind fresh beans for each use.

Personally, I've got one of those little Italian (Piagio) espresso makers that sits on the hob. Makes decent coffee (not quite so strong as a machine), easy to clean and cost me about £20.

Rancilio Silvia + Rancilio Rocky grinder.

The best consumer coffee machine available.

Nescafe Gold Blend with cream, Mmmmmm!

All of you are wrong. Buy a Bialetti and it will give you a lifetime of coffee.

They come in all sizes and the only spare part you will ever need is a rubber ring for about 20p every couple of years.

The only catch is you do need a hob to boil it on, so it might not be ideal for hotel gigs.

Buy a Bialetti and it will give you a lifetime of espresso coffee.

Not much use if you want to make lattes, cappucinos, etc.

I have a built in coffee machine in my kitchen similar to what you see in proper coffee shops.
Grind the beans into the scoop, hook it on and press the button to put pressurised water through (the pressure matters).
Try here, though other appliance sites are available, this is just from a quick google.

If you are on the South coats then pop across the channel and go and purchase a free standing machine in a super market.
