Awesome... except it says 220ml - I think some of the DG drinks are 240ml?

Got it - 300 is perfect.
Those espresso glasses look neat too.

yay, more useless plastic for the landfills !!

Lol I always hear this argument for a friend.
He can't just say pods are more expensive but has to add the whole plastic angle.

Bloody surprised my 'maid' domestic worker has not broken one of them. She actually made herself some Dolce Gulto Tea after I shown her how to use the machine

Nice to see you don't keep the good stuff to yourself

The chai latte is actually really nice, but not for everyone. Game VP had it at under R60 a box which was pretty decent. I dig it and will get more. Also, I like using tea leaves in the refill pods - makes an awesome cup of tea.

LOL
I was surprised to hear that Tea has quite a bit more caffeine than instant coffee - one of those BBC health episodes showed that. I've been drinking decaf for the past month or more now. Decaf woollies ground in the refillable pods is awesome. Caffeine and me are not friends unfortunately...

Quick thread necro to plug these, now that I'm on decaf. My name is manicminer and I have been caffeine free for 6 months now.

I'm a big fan of the lungo size - not quite an espresso and not an americano - somewhere in between.
They really do package good coffee.
I'm going to compare it to my fav Illy decaf espresso next.

Refillable??

Why? Is R5 a pod really too expensive?

 

[bokka1]

If you like I can send you some, just pay postage. Where are you?

I am in Kuils River, Cape Town. I will PM you my postal address.

I have found that 99% of the pods contain sugar, I want to make my own sugar free pods.

Only flavored coffee pods contain some artificial sugar AFAIK...

The only ones that I have seen that does not contain sugar are the Americano pods, there are some espressos too, I am not an espresso fan. I want to see if I can get a bit more variety by making my own pods.

Try using the espresso pods as a normal coffee pod like Americano.
So instead of filling 2 bars of water as instructed on the espresso pod, try using 5 or 6 bars of water. Makes for an excellent cup of coffee, instead of a strong shot of espresso.
