Need some help choosing a coffee machine!

BlackWizard

I currently own the Krups 4050. It's a lovely machine and I love the expresso. But in work we got a Saeco capsule machine that I really like. It's hassle free, just pop in a capsule and hit a button. It's steamer isn't great, so making a cup of coffee can be hard.

Is there any other alternatives that I should be looking at? Brown Thomas in town have this Saeco machine.

Also I'll be looking to sell my Krups coffee machine on adverts. Does anyone know how much I should be selling it for or if it will even sell?

Thanks

I would advise you to get a Bialetti Moka

They are the only way to make coffee, and the way all Italians make coffee at home. Trust me the machines are an expensive way to make an average cup of coffee.

I should probably add I'm not a huge coffee enthusiast and I don't want to be Italian or drink like them I work for an Italian company, all italian, all speaking italian all day long I don't want to be italian

We have two espresso makers in work, the Saeco one I mentioned and some other one. They all like the espressos in work, but one or two always mention how nicer they are in Italy.

The Tassimo looks good. How does it froth the milk? Do I have to pour the milk into it or something? Also where do I get the capsules from?

Edit: the other machine we have in work is a Nespresso. It's nice, but doesnt make a cappuccino,.

I'm thinking of just getting the Saeco I dont know how the Tassimo works and plus I wouldn't know where to get the coffee for it.
