As much as I hate to admit it, I actually agree re Nespresso. 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.

Pods do far, far better than a crap cafe coffee - about 80% of cafe's are crap

If they've got a "Vittoria" umbrella out the front or packs of the beans displayed behind the counter then you know to give them a miss.

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?

No frother here
milk in the microwave for 40 seconds
That's me now too, since the wife had to go lactose free. Ain't nobody got time to froth two separate types of milk.

Haha Rab the Vittoria umbrella is my danger indicator too!

I think you're remembering the vaping thread and that was before my time as admin/mod. haha

 

seems all of the coffee machine discussion I could find was in the CSYJB and the WMMFGT threads lol

so I get 2000 cups of coffee before I even get to the price you paid
