Hi all

I've just treated my self to a nespresso coffee machine, and was wondering if any one else has one and could tell me what the nearest pod, interms of strength and flavour, is to that of a costa or nero coffee ?

cheers

I have one of these machines.... abso brill!!!! The one with the milk frother/heater jug attached. best coffee machine available. Although the milk can burn on the bottom of the jug..

I tend to find the darkeer coloured pods stronger, the black, purple and the gold ones are very nice if you like strong coffee. I am guilty of two pod coffees though for extra kick!!!

I can recommend buying the pods in bulk, works out much cheaper, plus when you order them dont bother paying for next day delivery as they arrive next day most of the time anyway.. Plus some nice looking accessories, funny how the coffee machine becomes the focal point of the kitchen..

In fact on that not another esspressssso before it gets too late...

I recommend joining the nespresso website to register your machine if you havnt done it already...
