coffee my speciality

ok .. so do you want to..
use beans...
pre ground.....
capsules....

beans are the freshest way but can make a mess.. lots of choice on beans. lavazza ,segefredo or illy even costa .. need to get the grinder set corrrectly for the beans you are using ..

pre-ground looses a bit of flavour even in its foil bags.. lots of choice here too again brand leaders too look at .. not whittard please

capsules are getting really good but you need the right ones... not alot of choice though... you end up using the only ones available for that machine.

how much do you want to spend ???
have you got a small kitchen???
how much coffee do you think you will drink ???

loads of questions i know but its harder than buying a car

if you have the space and the money its nice to have a real sized machine i would recomend either a CMA or Brasilia can get em on ebay or second hand for about £500. (plus they are very easy to repair)

if however you want something really small and compact ...
i would seriously recommend ..

they are VERY good, the coffee is on par with anything you will get and you can get a free trial ..

i canput you in touch with a man who sells/repairs full sized machines second hand if you need.

but definitly try the nespresso machine .. they are not that cheap but i was impressed by the espresso they made and i am a traind Barista ..

anything else you need to know pm me

oh and dont forget to get a water filter for what ever machine you use .. the taste will improve and it will save the machine from scale problems in the long run.
