Padders Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 So yesterday I went for a walk round Meadowhall (like you do), and I came across a shop selling kitchen utensils and stuff, go on then I thought I'll have a look round. Just browsing when a spotted a coffee making machine, £999-99p that's less than £1000 Anyway it got me thinking, why doe's anybody want to pay all that money for a cup of coffee.. I get up in the morning, boil the kettle, spoonful of Nescafe, add milk and Hey Presto lovely cup of coffee.. what on earth do they do, Italian espresso, Cappuccino, Latte, Macchiato, Irish, Americano. At the end of the day it's a chuffin cup of coffee... Is it a class thing, status symbol or something.. You know, look what Iv'e got, knowing full well the likes of me can't afford one. Anyway just wondered if anyone has got one, are they worth it ? doe's the coffee taste any different ? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Wallace* Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) It’s all personal taste you may hate a certain beer that I may love and vice versa personally I’m after a bean to cup machine around £300 and it should make excellent coffee,you’re spoonful of Nescafé is saving you a fortune,please don’t boil water for coffee though 😀 Edited October 24, 2019 by *Wallace* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made to last when making large volumes over a long period of time. Angel1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like my coffee red hot, think Iv'e got an asbestos mouth. Made a cup this morning 2mins-70secs. Wonder how long it takes with these space age coffee makers.

*Wallace* Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I know that’s why I’m looking for one another a quarter of that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think so Angel, can't remember the name of the shop, but it was just an ordinary shop selling kitchen items and gadgets.. I pointed out to a lady standing close by, Look at that a £1000 quid for a coffee maker, she said Iv'e got one what cost me £75. suppose that's acceptable.

Tomm06 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Coffee seems to be very fashionable now days. Not only have we hundreds of Starbucks/Costas, now with drive through independent coffee shops are popping up on every corner claiming to have the most ethically sourced organic smoothest coffee in the world. Some coffee snobs will pay that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longcol Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 The one we've bought over here in France cost us less than 20 euro and makes the best cup of coffee we've tasted outside of Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
