I hate ALL instant coffee, so having a fast and convenient way of making coffee is an issue.

Usually when several cups are needed I use a drip type machine or a french press (cafetière) but this is not convenient for a single cup as and when you want it. The best single coffee is without doubt that produced by my Bialetti type percolator but its a faff, does not sit well on my gas hob and is a pain to clean.

Having used and liking the coffee from a Senseo type coffee machine in Holland I have been pondering for a fair while about purchasing one, although rejecting the idea of a senseo system as they are not popular in the UK and the coffee pads are inconvenient to buy here. Also the high cost of all the machines put me off.

Yesterday a series of circumstances lined up so I took the plunge (ho ho ho) and bought one.

Argos were doing a DeLongi Dolce Gusto machine at well under half price, £120ish down to £49.99. I had 40 quids worth of Argos gift cards from my credit card points, so the machine cost me £9.99.

Have to say I am pretty impressed. The coffee is very drinkable, has a great crema, is very convenient, easy to make cappuccinos using two pods (a coffee and a milk one), very easy to make the size of cup (and hence strength) you like. All in all its a good 10 quids worth.

The pods are expensive tho, 16 cups of coffee (8 cappuccinos) for £3.50ish
