| 1408090 | 2015-09-09 05:21:00 | I bought the cheaper version, I would recommend it . www.harveynorman.co.nz Brisco's often have sales, I got mine for about $200 less(from memory) , shows what the margins are :-) You'll have to experiment a bit with coffee bean brands, just too many Brands & variety of bean, many are awefull. I still buy coffee from the shops more than make my own, I tend not to coffee up at night (I like to sleep) |

| 1408092 | 2015-09-09 06:20:00 | No. If you drink it a lot, I'd say yes but occasionally? My brother uses these: shop.countdown.co.nz 2Bbags Assorted types, not even just Robert Timms. I don't do coffee at all, but bought some for visitors, they comment it's lovely. |

| 1408094 | 2015-09-09 10:11:00 | We have been thinking of buying a Breville Barista Express BES870 as recommended in Consumer? Or would it better to keep buying flat whites when we go out probably 3 times a week for the 2 of us, I drink a lot of tea at home but enjoy a coffee after our evening meal which is usually from a plunger hate instant coffee. So is it worth spending $700/800 or keep buying from cafe's ? I love my Nespresso Machine. They ain't cheap but the coffee rocks and they have lots of flavours to choose from. |

| 1408095 | 2015-09-09 13:16:00 | Bought one about 2 years ago - it broke down after 2 months of use, sent it back and they replaced with a brand new one which lasted from just over a year, to be exact, 1 year + 3months, it started to give all sorts of problems, gave up and am now with instant coffee. Bad luck follows some.......... |

| 1408096 | 2015-09-09 15:28:00 | If you enjoy coffee at home then definitly spend the roubles on a decent machine. At home I just drink machona instant, but I love the home-made stuff at g/f's place. Hers is a Kambrook I think. | Greg (193) | ||
| 1408097 | 2015-09-09 22:19:00 | Real lovers of real coffee simply wont drink instant. Id rather not have a coffee than drink that stuff. Same as I wont drink warm flat beer :) People do get offended when I decline down their instant coffee brew (with a polite no thank you). Not sure why, its like Its a personal insult The home machine will never be as good a $3000++ professional machine the shops use. Keep that in mind if spending mega bucks on a home grade machine. It simply may not be worth the cost over a cheaper version. |

| 1408098 | 2015-09-10 00:19:00 | I love my Nespresso Machine. They ain't cheap but the coffee rocks and they have lots of flavours to choose from. For a consistantly good but not amazing coffee that is convenient I reckon a Nespresso is hard to beat. I use the Jeds captuals these days from the supermarket. I've just got an Inissia - currently $240 at NL, so not super expensive up front. Captuals work out to about 60-70c ea, or about $1ea for the Nespresso genuine ones. |
