Where do you get your daily coffee?

[backstreetboy]

Mine is perfectly functional. It's not defective as the functioning results from the way it's built. It needs maintenance. It's DeLonghi engineering.

Maybe you are a troll?

Funny my Siemens does the same.

I don't know anything about Siemens. I only have a DeLonghi. And a Nespresso Citiz from 2012.

Well now you do.

 

[Mirai]

Well now you do.

I still don't know anything about it. I know a troll posted about it, that's all.

Lol says the person that posted this vague incorrect statement

Nespresso because George Clooney rocks.

Lavazza sell Nespresso capsules and there is also Starbucks Pike's Place and similar Lungo roasts.
Otherwise Nescafe Gold Espresso.

Sometimes ground coffee with hot water poured over.
Have also a DeLonghi Bean to cup machine at home but difficult to clean.
at times Nescafe classic.

Occasionally WW Mocca or Seattle Mocca, sometimes Costa or Starbucks Mocca.

^^
It's a lie. The machine cleans itself. Every month you just have to clean the brew unit and when the machine asks you descale it and it'll do it automatically.

My one does flush itself but the mill spills coffee grounds all over the place inside the machine, often in hard to reach places. The used coffee grounds also leak from outside the container that's there to collect them. It's not very useful and requires work.

Unless you can't close the drip tray this is a non issue.

The milk container is also hard to clean.

Even the cheap one I have cleans itself. Again a non issue.
Go troll elsewhere.

Starbucks pretty good.

 

[Bonywasawarrioraway]

Breville barista express - beans sometimes from vida.
Also a delonghi latissimo touch for when in a hurry.
Very happy with both.

Back in Cape Town on business, so you know what time it is:

Shun the non-believer, shun!

How can you say that. Wimpy coffee is better than Starbucks coffee.

My life immediately improved when I realised I could use my Ebucks rewards on any other drink from Starbucks … including their tasty chocolate Frappuccino.

Only reason I go to Starbucks is the free drink lol. Much better options out there if you need to pay for it.

It cleans itself when it shuts down automatically. Yeah it's really hard and way too much work.

Cleaned this bean to cup machine around 3 times in 2 and a half years. It's very hard work.

Get my coffee from my Phillips EP3243/50 in my kitchen...

Got a demo unit for about 1.5k a year or two ago.

So my go to place/joint is this (generally):



The massive news dropped today:

Beyond groceries: Shoprite set to buy Vida e Caffè’s 400 shops

Shoprite, Africa’s largest retailer, plans to acquire the 400-shop Vida e Caffè network, expanding into the coffee and quick-service restaurant market as part of its strategy to grow beyond supermarkets

We have to see how this unfolds & what changes.

You know this doesn't make sense? Like I get that Shoprite is red and Vida is red ... but that's it. No amount of Vida branches within Shoprites will drag Vida customers into a Shoprite. And nobody is asking for Shoprite coffee beans within their Vida brew.

Eh? You know shoprite holdings is the holding company for Checkers etc? I really don't think they bought Vida for Shoprite the store. They bought it for Checkers to take on WCafe.

NGL. Knew it is another TwitterST bump. But still clicked.

Who said they will be within Shoprite?

Well we can only hope, currently many Checkers have Krispy Kreme in-house which delivers surprisingly decent coffee ... Vida would be an improvement, and a tad healthier too. My gold standard is still Plato, but I don't need a Plato while shopping for my meat and veg lol.

Hence I said we see club. We see how things play/pan out.

Right on queue for parties (read snowflakes) to moan.
