I use a Krups filter machine, and buy Colombian beans which I grind as needed. Simples!

Personally I hate the Nespresso machine due to the enormous waste of precious aluminium! I have a DeLonghi machine where you put the coffee grains, and it grinds enough coffee for 1 or 2 cups at a time- all the grounds are then thrown onto the tall mixed borders, the veg patch or the compost.

I've had several different machines over the years. The last one being a senseo. All have either been given away or sold on. The senseo now resdes at the back of the cupboard. I've gone back to the good old cafetiere, or perish the thought, instant coffee.

My little Krups Dolce Gusto is superb. Press button to switch on; pour in the water; put mug under nozzle; pop in your choice of capsule; push the lever until your cup runneth over - well not quite over; flick lever back and enjoy! So many types of pod to try too. And it doesn't take up much space at all in my already cluttered kitchen. Obtainable from Tesco's.

I own a Cuisinart Coffee Maker. I made coffee as normal this morning and later came into the kitchen. I heard the coffee boiling in the pot and as I took the pot off the base, the bottom and the back of the unit began to smoke. I unplugged the unit immediately and put it into the sink and poured a cup of water onto the base to cool it off.

I use a sage coffee grinder and either a french press or an aeoropress. I had to give my big sage coffee machine away, no room here but I use the grinder every day

A coffee scoop will help you measure the right amount of coffee to the number of cups you are brewing. A permanent filter in a machine eliminates the need for paper filters which can be a pain to keep in stock. Some machines come with this but you can buy them separately if you choose. And if you want the freshest tasting coffee it is always wise to grind your own beans at home, so if your machine doesn't have a grinder you might want to invest in your own coffee grinder. bakingreview.com/nespresso-coffee-maker/

We have a small Lavazza but I think pods are expensive to keep buying and have to be disposed of. I buy them in bulk when I see a good deal.
My husband likes the taste but still prefers his cafetiere, and grinds beans sometimes.

I much prefer decaff instant.
