    Too much hard work, the Miele, grinds the beans, fills and empties the coffee filter, even cleans it's self. All you have to do is empty the used coffee container when full.

      Skimmed milk into mug
      If that had been condensed milk into a bucket, you'd have a proper Sergeant Major's brew

          Takes a little while to get used to putting in just the right amount of coffee but once you've got the knack they're cheap, easy and portable!

            The miele does look nice, but I don't find the coffee pot hard work.
            They don't need cleaning.. infact cleaning them is bad. Just a rinse in hot water will do
            And it takes only a couple of minutes to make the coffee

              I start witha nice cuppa before I leave the house and then a cappoucino with an extra shot when i get into work.
              Clientco has an in house starbucks .
              I would usually get a caffe nero coffee but there's none near enough that don't require a 10 min walk.

              I think I'll bring in my own cafetiere from now on.

                  your problem is getting hold of enough humans to fill the blender.
                  BTW: do you sieve the result or do you prefer the drink with the bits in?

                    Just off for another coffee at clientco. Kenco. Mmmmm.
