Not to cafe standard, but I'm yet to experience a home espresso machine that matches it for quality, let alone consistency/repeatability.Was trying a $1000 Breville machine with built in grinder and proper steam wand recently. It was ok with some practice, but still no Nespresso. Have had friends make coffee from $3000 machine and no better Plus $25 ALDI milk frother jug with three year warranty for the win.Luckily my work has a cafe-spec machine. Bit of practice on that and you can make a very decent cup. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44361-the-off-topic-thread/page/9843/#findComment-1688361 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always foul from a cafe - surprisingly the supermarket ones are decent in a pinch for home use. Kogan have decent, cheaper Nespresso versions of the pods Would prefer a cup of instant Nescafe than what most friends deliver from their "flash" machines. Didn't we have this discussion a while ago and k31th moved it to it's own coffee thread? 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44361-the-off-topic-thread/page/9843/#findComment-1688362 Share on other sites More sharing options...
