R70 for a teacup?!?

Perfect coffee mug...

R70 for a teacup?!?

My thoughts too - R88 is the normal price though.

At least with a teacup you usually get a saucer thrown in gratis.

And it'll last longer than the sun if you take care of it.

Do mugs wear out?

It hilarious, you can buy a whole damn set for R90.

To me it's quite affordable and excellent value for money.
I've got a dozen of their mugs in various sizes, a few of their pots, pans and casseroles.

They make great, even superior cookware. I'm just not convinced it matters when it comes to a coffee delivery system… aka a cup.

Plus 200ml is kinda small.

We're talking about cups for a Nespresso machine.

If you add some milk to the cup and then use the Lungo button for your coffee, then 200ml would be perfect.

So if you wanted a 400ml triple shot latte, which is my coffee beverage of choice, then you're S**t out of luck?

You'll have to forgive me for asking but I've never seen the value of these cartridge machines.

Depends how strong you want it and how much froth you want.
Some of the pods are super strong, so you will get away with using one.

Ask the people at the Nespresso shop to make you one.


The value for me is that I always get a perfect cup of coffee in under 2 minutes and have about buggerall cleaning to do.

Under R6 a cup at home vs coffee shop price = win for me.

I use less than 50 pods a month.

I agree - though I've never figured out the price per cup I know I can make a fair amount of coffee at home with my Delonghi for the same R26 woolies charges for a large latte.
