Nespresso Pods

[ChrisV]

Just picked up up a Lattisimo Touch for much cheapness for my office - any recommendations as to the best pods/compatible pods/online companies selling good coffee in pods??

You people drink a lot of coffee, hit me up with your knowledge!

(I am aware I could invest £10,000 in a machine that produces a small cup of coffee more potent than heroin, but for now I’m going with a Nespresso)

I've used The Coffee Pod for some ESE thingies, recently.
Could be worth checking them out for a looksee.

I am no expert but do you mean Tassimo ??
If so, to my knowledge there are no compatible pods. The machine reads a bar code which tells how much water etc it needs.
I google Lassimo but cant find a reference to it.

Tassimo is a coffee machine made by Bosch.

Nespresso is made by Delonghi and the Lattisima is one of their drink types.

The pods for one do not work in the other.

I'm not really into these machines but I think I'm right in saying that the pods are unique to the Lattisimo machine so looks like your stuck with buying the pods from Nestlé. Could be why the machine was cheap?
Think ink jet printer cartridges!

Just make sure you recycle the pods

Another way of paying way too much money for something you could do yourself if you ask me but then I don't drink coffee and I am a misserable old git

Exactly this. Right down to no coffee and grumpiness!

You should be able to get re-useable pods - I have some for my Dolce Gusto machine and they work well. I still use normal pods as well.

You've got the machine now, but imho coffee pods are evil thingies, and even their inventor has said he regrets inventing the damn things.

Lidl do Nespresso compatible pods which are as good as any others (IMO) for around 16p each.

Indeed, or Gillette razors. They pioneered the cheap instrument and expensive refills.

Aldi do Nespresso apparently:

I use their beans in my Gaggia coffee machine and find they're pretty good

^^^^ This - a friend has a Nespresso machine and reckons the Aldi ones are spot on.

Don’t think you can recycle Nespresso pods. Combination of metal and plastic or something, dunno tbh. But fairly sure that even if Nesprsso take them back, they just incinerate them.
We stopped using Nespresso a few years ago, seemed so wasteful, bought ourselves a Sage Barista and it’s been fantastic. Couldn’t live without it.
