I had 2 that leaked, changed for a gaggia classic in the end.

Also have a Gaggia classic, a quality machine.

Could you tell me what the name / model of that machine above is? Sounds fantastic.

Delonghi esam4200s

Wonderful machine, had mine 14 months, use it everyday, beans in, water tank full, press a button, done!

I was very lucky and managed to get mine from Sainsburys when they were at £192, infact I bought two, got one for my dad too.

I have had many a cup from many of these pod machines, and to be honest they really aren't a patch.

The running costs of the bean to cup machines must be much cheaper than the pod machines, for general drinking i buy the various bags from the supermarket, 250g bags for £2.30 ish, they last me a good 3-4 weeks with a fair amount of use!

The smell of the coffee from mine when its been freshly ground and blasted though at pressure is tremendous! Mmm, going to make one now!

Me too... Partnered with Illy coffee from Amazon in sealed tins. Lovely!

I'm wondering if any deals can be had at Comet.
