Very unimpressed with the latest packaging...
Always used to be in a sealed bag with invoice taped to outer carton. My latest delivery came in an unsealed outer only and no invoice.
Not quite the end of the world,except its delivered by some oik who insists on lobbing over the fence evry time. If its raining, its going to get ruined.
Have sent a stern email to HQ.

I really like Dharkan, Roma and Arpeggio. Vanilla is quite nice for a bit of a change but other than that, I've not really been able to notice much of a difference between the others.
Had mine since Christmas with the free pod offer. Used nearly 100 since then, and have around another £25 on my account. Does anyone tend to sell their machines come next offer time and just take advantage of a free pod offer?

Yup, although I tend to sell the new machine and keep mine. Here the cost of a cheap machine is less than the price for the 200 pods you get free, so I buy the cheapest one (Inissa, Pixie or whatever), claim the pods, and flog it on a Facebook group or similar for about 50% of the new price. I have kept one extra machine as a spare and to take on holiday though.Had mine since Christmas with the free pod offer. Used nearly 100 since then, and have around another £25 on my account.

Just waiting for the next offer now, supplies are dwindling again!
New Pixie owner here, my wife got it for me for Xmas to go in to our new kitchen, which I'm still fitting!! The kitchen is only 50% finished and I couldn't resist getting the machine out any longer, that and I was worried about the life expectancy of the 250 pods she got me too... so far so good. Great flavours, only slight complaint is that the coffee isn't amazingly hot but It seems that's a common thought here?

I have a Kitchenaid machine and that's the same, as is my parents' Magimix so assume they're all the same.I'm another who heats the cups with hot water first.
Afternoon!
I have a new Nespresso, it's called the prodigo, it's got a built in milk heater.
https://www.nespresso.com/sg/en/pages/prodigio-mac...
The issue I'm having, is my coffee is too weak, I like a strong coffee and I imagined a espresso based one would be good for that, but even adding a small amount of hot milk to make a latte it's too weak/watery.
The buttons on top are small, medium and large, what would give me the strongest coffee, assuming I'm adding the same amount of milk.
My theory is the small will be the highest concentrate, but would be watered down by more milk, and the large would be more like a watery coffee, so adding milk is diluting it more.
Help!

Once you're passed a certain stage, passing more water through a capsule won't make the resulting cup any 'stronger'.
If you like your coffee stronger then after making your latte (or whatever) just run another espresso and dump it in, no?
Or, considering you have one of those fancy-dancy Bluetooth machines, can you not just ask Siri to do it for you?

I too like strong coffee and have no issues with the strength of coffee my machine produces.
ETA - I favour Dharkan, Kazaar and Arpeggio

I’m using the strongest capsules, I don’t know the names but black and dark grey ones, they were labelled as intense/strong.
Cup size, I started on mugs, now on teacups.
Obviously I could add another capsule, but that would defeat the point of the machine and be twice as expensive per cup.

Are you adding more than the standard amount of water?Cup size, I started on mugs, now on teacups.

The default amount for an espresso makes a 40ml drink, ristretto is only 25ml.
If you are getting longer drinks than that maybe you've overridden the default amount, might be worth resetting the volumes.
