Jelly pops of your machine BTW

What's difference between the Creatisa Plus and the Creatisa ?
From what I read:

- Plus has more options for customisation (milk texture, shot size, temperature etc)
- Plus warms up a few seconds quicker
- Stainless steel finish vs plastic

Only just found this thread.

Got my Nespresso machine in December and have it Latte's over Espresso's. Have a Lattisma Touch with the milk thing built in.

I've mainly only used the Nespresso caps, favourite are Roma and Livanto. I've also tried all the M&S ones which are okay, South American one is especially nice.

Has anyone tried the Carte Noire coffee? They have mixed reviews online so would love to here others thoughts. I'm in France next week and Carte Noire is on offer over there across all their range, 30 caps from €4.72 so about £4.25 so was probably going to bring several hundred caps back for.

Not had those, but did try the new L'or caps - mediocre at best was our view.

Never had a good coffee from any of those pod machines.

Waste of money AND time.

I've had no success with any of the knock off versions of the pods. Original is definitely best. Original is also pretty much the same price as the knock offs though not available in the supermarket.

Aside from taste the fitment and flow of the knock offs is variable.

I'm not a coffee aficionado,,, but my Aldi compatible with pods bought online is good enough for me, saves time AND money.

I just find a simple filtered coffee more rewarding and tasty

I quite agree. Unless I can have Finca El Injerto prepared in a diamond burr grinder, tamped with a depleted uranium tamper made in a NASA-certified facility (the tamping surface honed by laser to ensure smoothness) and brewed in a Rancillo Class 9 machine customised by the experts at Portland Coffeewerks Inc. to include a UPS to smooth out mains fluctuations, higher quality electronics, medical-grade tubing and mil-spec pressure components I just wouldn't bother.

Worth a look? https://www.nespresso.com/uk/en/subscription?cid=S...

£18 a month for 12 months
£1 for the machine
All the credit (£18 month) accrues and can be used to buy pods for the next 2 years)

So £217 for the 12 months, £216 of which can be redeemed against coffee pods.

Good deal.

Although it depends on how much coffee you drink. As I I'd spend that in the timeframe and only buy pods online it would work for me.

Has anyone else gotten a random free top up on their Nespresso club account?

I initially got £45 (3x£15) when I registered my machine and a few weeks ago they gave £40 for some spring promotion.

Not complaining though biggrin

We actually do one of the more expensive ones - and it's worked well for us.

We looked at what we spent on pods over the last 3 years and decided that way.

Bought a Krups Essenza Mini and Aeroccino 3 for £79 yesterday which seems pretty good.

I know their profit comes from the pods rather than the machine but that seems to be a good deal.

Only tried a few of the complimentary pods so far but really like them. Great having a really nice latte in a couple of minutes.

Any recommendations for pod packs of assorted coffees?
