SueFinanceManager Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Hello all My darling husband has decided he might like Santa to bring him a coffee machine for Christmas not the full barista style you understand but one of these machines you put the pods in So, I like the look of the Krups one that takes the Dolce Gusto pods .... Anyone got one? Any good? If you have one what do you have and would you recommend it? Thanks in advance xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panders Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 No I don't personally have one - I have an espresso maker you put on the hob. My son has a pod machine, don't know what type, just moans about how much the pods cost! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klc106 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 A friend of mine has a tassimo one, she loves it and you can get a lot of different coffees and hot chocolates discs to put it. She got it from John Lewis. Not sure if that's any help! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upsy Daisy Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) I bought my husband a Tassimo a few years ago because he was the only one who drank coffee in our house and he works away a fair bit so the ground coffee goes stale. It is the best present I've ever bought him. He loves having fresh coffee, our daughter loves a bambinochino and frothy coffee always goes down well with visitors.If we are having lots of people here, I buy ground coffee and use the cafetiere because that many pods can get a bit pricey. Edit to say he's now on his second machine. He wore the first one out! Edited November 27, 2015 by Upsy Daisy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumperrabbit Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I've been looking at the Tassimo machines for my husband too - there's a huge price difference though, today I've seen one for £120.00 which said 'suny' on the box and then in Tesco there's one at £49.50 which said 'fidelia' does anyone know what is the difference between all the styles??

Upsy Daisy Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 We bought this one recently and it's been great. I can't work out what on earth they could do to make it worth £120.http://www.tesco.com/direct/bosch-tassimo-tas4000gb-black/457-7397.prd?skuId=457-7397&pageLevel=sku&sc_cmp=ppc_sh-_-sh-_-tesco-_-457-7397&gclid=CLrYyf_2tckCFVCZGwodEWAAgA&gclsrc=aw.ds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinthinguk Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I Have a tassimo, I get the decaff pods from tesco as I can't drink caffeine! I also like the cadbury hot choc, they do some good deals on the website for buying in bulk if you know what you like x 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigzag Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I bought my husband a Tassimo a couple of years ago. We all love it but found the pods quite pricey but very tasty. It has been up in the loft for a year because of this, but think it maybe time to get it down and dust it off!! I would definitely recommend the machine.

Jester Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 We were bought a Tassimo machine about 6 Christmases ago and the novelty wore off after a while I must admit! The pods are expensive but you can get deals on group on and supermarkets often have them on offer. I sold it a few years ago and I now use a pour over and a cafeterie cup but then I just drink my coffee black these days. I think if I was going to a coffee machine now it would be one that grinds beans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Krups/Dolce Gusto all the way - currently have Caramel Chococino pods! They have a good range of drinks, including iced ones, that you can't find in shops on their web site and are always emailing offers.
