    De Longhi bean to cup coffee makers

    Anyone got one? How do they measure up? If I buy one is it going to last?
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

    Crap, the cheapest new express machine is this

    Fracino Cherub Domestic/Light Commercial Espresso Machine on eBay!

    alternatively buy a second hand professional one.

      It doesn't need to be especially cheap, but I can't have one that needs it's own plumbing which most of the professional ones do. Could do with one that uses pods or a bean to cup one to keep the mess down as well.

          Ive got one of these and I love it

          JURA's coffee machines: ENA 9 :: JURA United Kingdom

          Its expensive but it makes a really good brew and takes seconds. It gets through a lot of beans and the water tank is a little on the small side, other than that its great.
          Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

          I preferred version 1!

            a previous client co had one of these in the kitchen. It was frequently used by about 20 staff and did't develop any faults in the 6 months I was there.

            It made quite nice coffee too
            What it also does nicely is that even when its full of beans, there is a secondary hopper if someone wants decaf.
