Weird even the cheapest Delonghi I had automatically cleans itself before it turns off after use. The only real manual cleaning is cleaning the brew head every few months and descaling the machine when prompted (you'll have to do this with a Nespresso machine as well anyway).

maybe they're just not meant for high use, like at an office with couple of hundred coffee drinkers

the container where the used coffee grind get discarded fills up over time and needs to be emptied at least once a week

the "cleans itself" bit is great, but when you are waiting to make your cup that long delay is quite irritating

both of those likely much less of an issue with less frequent usage
 
The office got a nice Jura bean to cup machine, no need to buy coffee anymore.

so, lately I've been comparing "per cup prices" of the options I use regularly:
- Seattle ±R34 per cup
- beans / grounded stuff in the French press I get around 10 cups from 250g, so R10 per cup-ish if you buy the cheap stuff
- with the moka pot it gets way more expensive because I don't have a small size 1-cup moka pot and end up using too much beans for my single cup needs

now, I'm also lazy, but not lazy enough to stomach instant which the wife drinks so now and then I try it

what is the best combination for decent taste, decent per-cup price, quick preparation for the lazy who tend to make only one cup at a time?

was looking at nespresso capsule prices and first though "that's expensive" until I compared my actual per cup spending with other methods

For lazy days I use a pour-over dripper like the Hario V60. Yes, you have to stand there and... pour it over, but cleaning is a breeze.
 
From my Jura E8, Aeropress or Moccamaster. I don't really venture into the wild to buy daily coffee anymore.
 
More than 1 cup a day gives me the squirts for 24hrs.
 
Why is Motherland's coffee rated so badly? I have had worse.
 
I don't understand this at all, Ethiopia and Brazil are some of the best coffee producers in the world and yet they are not there in this lists. Does it mean they don't know how to brew the coffee?

It means they sell all their good coffee to places that pay them more for it.
 
@FiestaST I see they just opened a branch of Xpresso at Cavendish Square.
Gave the food a try, R12 a shot, bargain... till it arrived... fkn cocktail sized chicken roll and quiche, naaiers!!!
Tasted pretty good though but not what I would call great value.

Is the R12 coffee at least real coffee grounds pulled through a decent machine and palatable?

Depends on a person’s baseline/reference point.

I always apply the monetary context, on that end it is like a 6.5 to 7 outta 10.

It seems the R12 coffee is also tiny, like a child size cup?
It seems like a bit of a con, it’s not a whole lot cheaper just smaller portion sizes.
 
Home, bean to cup
Office, bean to cup (had to buy one myself for use by myself)
Head office, filter coffee (devs chipped in)
