From bean to cup to tassimo/pod machine?

    Hi guys
    I was dead set on getting a B2C machine but after reading about the maintenance/cleaning and reviews of the Tassimo I was wondering if the latter might not be a better option for a quick and easy and 'decent if not amazing' coffee experience? I would be happy with a 7 out of 10, better than instant quality, and would mainly be using it at weekends only.

    I only drink long black coffees/americano by the way, so not interested in lattes etc.

    I suppose I can always upgrade if I find I outgrow it - but I never thought I would ever consider a pod machine (for shame! :o:o)

    If it was me, id save your money and buy an aeropress.
    You'll make a far better coffee than 90% of the coffee shops in Dublin with an aeropress and at 26 or so quid, is a steal :cool:
    Its relatively simple to do as well, takes me about three minutes to make amazing coffee in the morning.
    Only downside is that I can't drink most coffee in the likes of insomnia anymore:pac:
