Not a coffee connoisseur but think I've found my best coffee machine - the Sage Nespresso Creatista Plus.

A quality machine which makes a surprisingly good flat white 👍 as well as cappuccino, latte, Lungo, Expresso, Ristretto and Latte Macchiato (whatever that is) .
Got mine fairly cheap, refurbished with a 20% voucher from eBay and I'm more than happy with it, money well spent.

I do have a DeLonghi bean to cup machine which is used daily to fill my work flask and also got a Sage Barista Express machine which looks the part in the kitchen but a bit of a pain to use.
Anyone else got a favourite coffee maker apart from Starbucks or CostaLotta (neither of which are worth the cost and they don't really taste that good)

Not a connoisseur, then you rattle off 3 brands of coffee maker🤣🤣🤣

I'm a nescafe decaff man myself 😉
 
Had different types over the years Espresso & milk steamer's, Tassimo pods, cafeterias got bored with them all and the cleaning.
Just drinking instant LOR now and consider having a proper coffee a treat.
 
People who drink coffee live longer than people who don’t. That’s the same both for instant coffee or anything fancier.

I don’t drink coffee at home and cba with these machines. I’d rather go out and have one made for me.

In moderation caffeine/coffee is good Malced agreed, but too much can send your lifespan in the opposite direction.

Especially if you take it with a dash of mayonnaise 🥹
 
That machine is over £400 brand new. I hope you got a good deal.
Dolce Gusto for me , intenso pods strength 9 .

Endless great coffee for a few pennies a cup. No messing about with unrecyclable pods, expensive machinery and complicated instructions. Used coffee grains are a good fertiliser as well. Best coffee is illy or Kimbo IMO.

Sage are the best l believe and I’ve been looking at getting one for a few years now but can’t justify the cost of around £500 for a new one. l have a Delonghi machine which is good enough as l only drink espresso coffee.

It costs £25 as opposed to the £500 machines being talked about on here - does it make me rich if I can spend £25 on a coffee maker?
I'm not a socialist either, most socialists would call me a centerist as an insult, so perhaps try that one, it hurts more.
I'm not BRR either

Apart from that I agree with everything you have put.
 
I have a Tassimo and a Dolce Gusto one too. Use both multiple times per day. Love them.

I only drink Americano so the Dolce Gusto machine allows me to drink the dirt cheap and really very good Aldi pods.
