Coffee machines - how do you make your coffee?
Watch this postAlmost everyone loves a cup of coffee. So how do you make yours? Do you percolate, or filter? Or have you opted for a machine? My daughter bought me a Tassimo for Christmas a few years ago. Lovely coffee but the choice is limited in most supermarkets. And it is quite expensive. So recently we opted for a Nespresso. Complete with a milk frother. Lots of choice and it does come a lot cheaper per cup than the Tassimo.

I have tried a number of ‘pod’ machines & whilst they give you a reasonable cup, it does cost an exorbitant amount to brew yourself. I have tried filter & caffietiers but I find that I make to much or use to much coffee bean.
I now have a ‘NINJA’ machine & use Asda’s own coffee at around £1.25 per pack. It makes coffee exactly how I like it, will make a number of sized quantities from a small cup to a flask full. I have tried a number of other coffees in the machine, all have made a very good cup, just needed to adjust the amount of ground coffee used. The only other requirement you need to buy are filters but they are not that expensive.
I’d recommend the machine to anyone.
I've had two Keurig machines; both broke after about a year and couldn't really clean it well enough. It always stays wet and no faster than the hot pot.
