    Looking at the amazon link and the number of "used" or returned machines would not give me confidence in this machine. For anyone in Carlow or Kilkenny the Tassimo Fidelia T40 is available in Electrocity for €59.99 A much better but slightly larger machine.

    I have that machine. Got it for 45 euro in Argos. Find it excellent. Price goes back up tomorrow.

    Check Amazon for the discs. Lots of different types.

    Actually, this isn't such a bargain after all.

    Amazon has a newer version if Vivy called "Vivy 2" which has a bigger water tank - 2L compared to 0.7 on this earlier model. AND .. it's only £44.50 which is approximately €61.. which might be a slightly better deal than the Argos one.

    I have this one. The creamers for latte or chocolate are very fake alright. Also reckon it makes the coffee slightly cooler than I would like. That might just be me though

    It doesn't have a larger water tank! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bosch-Tassimo-TAS1252GB-Multi-Beverage-Machine/dp/B00REE4HUY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1427841895&sr=8-3&keywords=vivy
    The removable 0.7 litre water tank combines with Flow Heater Technology to ensure almost no heat up time, making the machine ready to brew drinks when you are.

    Yeah it doesn't make the hottest coffee I quired that with bosch a while back and they recommend heating your cup or mug before using for better results .
    I bought a milk frother to use with mine fresh milk heated in the microwave and then whipped up .
    The hot chocolate comes out fairly cool too i actually find that handy with 2 kids they can have a treat without worrying about scalding.

    Wish could find large coffee drinks most I've tried so far are fairy small for my liking
