snugglesandhugsfanFirstly we are not coffee nerds. Kids bought is a Ninja Pestige DualBrew machine for Christmas as out old Nespresso machine calved. If you are running out the door it can use the Nespresso original pods for a one minute coffee. The other side of the machine can make freshly brewed coffee from a 1.4ltr carafe to a small keep cup. Delighted with it and it’s about €280. Ninja build quality is great , loads of reviews online too, definitely worth a look
Curious-Bite6386Gee, I like my $450 Ninja from Costco which I can also take back anytime. Not a super automatic but takes about 15 seconds to tamp and install the portafilter. Great frother.
