Coffee is the Tchibo stuff that they have in the machine at work.


I :wub: the little Tchibo shops you have in Germany where you can just go in for a quick coffee.


Yeah, most of those places end up being a place you can go in for a quick coffee and also be able to pick up a quick jacket, mop or stereo sound system.

I drink PG tips.


However, I buy my coffee beans from Whitards. Freeze them, and only grind them when I want a coffee.

The extra effort is worth it.

I always wondered why they wore cardigans?

Isn't it really hot?

Nicest coffee from a machine that I've had.


I am getting one of these, seen it on a website for £30 but all gone now :(

Get a Nespresso machine instead. Believe me, it's lots better!

I have a Dolce Gusto and I hardly ever use it (it doesn't even count in my list of coffee's). It's not terrible it's just nowhere near as good as I hoped it would be.

well, I don't have that exact one, I think mine is a Lavazza one. I stole it from my Italian housemate when he left, but I know it makes some good stuff!

They try to make the milk foamy, but it's not brilliant.

I don't get coffee. I want to like it, but it just tastes awful to me. Far too bitter.

Maybe you've been trying the wrong type?

A medium roast columbian with a drop of milk shouldn't taste bitter.

Perhaps. Maybe I should go somewhere and try a really nice coffee (or one that's supposed to be nice, at least).

If you just want to taste coffee, any of the well known coffee shops should be able to provide a standard cup of coffee with no milk, foam, syrups and other crap they put on top.

Just get a black coffee, and add a touch of milk which they provide.

I would suggest that independant coffee houses can tell you more about the coffee beans. But sadly they are few and far between.

Yes, they make tiny amounts from a single pod and would make any environmentalists in the family go mental due to the massive waste in packaging.
