Wedding pressies to spend.

Pondering a bedside coffee machine. Because the black life-giving loveliness.

Pod things: how much do they end up costing? Which is the best in terms of total ownership costs - pods and machines? Tassimo, Nespresso, etc.

And yes I'd love a full size Gaggia but my kitchen's too small.

No one? I'm surprised, I expected a hundred Michelin starred moony directors telling me they don't drink anything but pure Indonesian wink

Also: what's the difference between Krups and Magimix machines? They look identical.

It was 5 pages in, so I guess you can be forgiven for writing a sarcastic comment instead of pressing the 'next' button 4 times! wink

I think that thread covers it.

The internals are licenced I believe, and I have been told they are identical - so either the Krups or the Magimix will do the job. We went for the Magimix as we prefer the spout design....

I'd be more tempted to go for a bean to cup machine. Then you can buy far superior coffee beans to go in it and it's much cheaper in the long run smile

Periodically, I have to pour oil on troubled waters and convince my friend BlairOut that he doesn't really despise my husband. I've always been a bit surprised at the situation. Until today....
