I suppose they couldn't use 'egg-cup' as a name, copyright and all that.Comment

I bet 999 people in a 1000 can't tell the difference between coffee made by a fancy expensive machine, and that made from a few beans ground up and chucked in a £10 cafetiere from Sainsbury's.Comment

We have this one, it’s a bit over your stated budget but if the other Delonghi machines are half as good then I can recommend the brand.
A few things to consider with B2C machines:
If you like your coffee hot you will be disappointed with the cappuccino / latte as the milk just doesn’t get up to the temperature you may be used to from machines with steamers (such as the Gaggia)
Get one that has a pre-ground container you can then use this for decaff: it saves having to try & empty the beans out..
Look at the milk container, be sure that the spout that goes into the base unit is not metal – if you keep the container in the fridge the metal may shrink in the cold & this can cause connection issues.
You will need to descale on a regular basis, if you don’t it can bung up the mechanism; descaling is an easy process but get the proper Delonghi fluid.Growing old is mandatory
Growing up is optionalComment

I know that I don't want one of those pod insertion situations - I want bean to cup.
But which ones are any good? Is it possible to get one for under £500?
Heellpppp.
So make do with one that is dependable and easy to clean up like a pod machine (nepresso is big in Italy).
Plus both will got the job done in the time it takes to make a slice of toast.But I discovered nothing else but depraved, excessive superstition. Pliny the youngerComment

Reminds me I still have a bag of beans that my dad bought back from a trip to Honduras, a while ago now.
What is the sell by date on coffee beans, how long before they need chucking out?Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.Comment
