    What's the best coffee machine?

    What's the best coffee machine?

    My money is on Flavia - expensive but completely lush - have to sneak into the executive area after hours though.
    At the other end of the scale - probably the worst coffee I have ever had, came from an old Nescafe machine in a portakabin - curiously, the machine was mounted on the other side of the wall to the urinals - still drank it though.

    The free coffee was removed from our building recently and a bunch clubbed together and bought themselves a flavia machine.

    More time is now spent stopping others from using it and ordering further supplies than work.

      "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero

          You sad deluded gadget freaks, brain-washed by the media.
          The best coffee comes from either a simple Bodum press or one of those metal thingies the Italians use on a cooker.
          Sad what happens when the working class comes into a bit of money - good taste flies out the window
          Hard Brexit now!

              Asda economy instant coffee mixed with sawdust to make it go that bit further.

              Every little helps.

                  It's called moca and I am sad to say that for the first time in my life I have to agree with Sadguru. Yet many people do prefer that ugly tasteless type of cream that comes from the machines. No machine will ever be able to reproduce the taste of the coffee that comes from a moca.
                  I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

                    I remember at uni swapping a packet of No Frills coffee with a jar of Gold Blend from the posh kids in the next door flat (emptying jar etc.)....they could tell the difference strangely enough....
