Which one's better you think?

作者: blue20ae 時間: 2012-10-15 09:20

My experience...
Nespresso >>> K-cup > Tassimo

作者: fibbi 時間: 2012-10-15 10:15

2nd Nespresso!

作者: AAC 時間: 2012-10-15 18:16

I'm using Tassimo but I think keurig has more drinks selection.

作者: FiChai 時間: 2012-10-15 20:04

Nespresso, K-cup (Keurig), Tassimo, and Nescafe (Dolce Gusto) are all different, they have different nice features.

Nespresso: The best coffee quality up to my liking, in terms of taste and intensity level. Only available with "regular" coffees, no fancy stuff like latte nor cappuccino nor tea. That means you have to prepare your own milk and sugar at all times (if you need those). Probably the most expensive machine among all, even the very basic model.

K-cup: The most varieties among all, including regular coffee, latte, cappuccino, hot chocolate, tea etc. And the only machine that you can use any normal ground coffee, with an optional adapter. And if you like Starbucks, the only brand that carries some Starbucks coffees.

Tassimo: Similar to K-cup but less varieties. A "more fancy" type of Nespresso. Relatively less choices of coffee brands.

Nescafe: Also less varieties than K-cup, but its "milk/cream" type coffees have the strongest taste, such as its latte macchiato and cappuccino; and the only machine that can "brew" iced cappuccino. However, there is no "automatic stop" button. That means you have full control to the water level every time, but also means it's not too convenient and in case you forget or don't know when to stop manually, you'll be in trouble.

DeLonghi EC155 + ground illy coffee. Cheaper and none of the above come close to the results.

I think we should compare "capsule" type of machine to capsule type, not capsule type to conventional one.

K cup is more versitile

作者: pkphilip 時間: 2012-10-15 22:12

For those who just want a shot of caffeine, K-Cup has the best selection and the ability to make your own ground.

Of course, I will not let anyone bring such machine to my home as it is a disgrace to me.. I am sure I make better coffee than these machines will.

Single serving coffee is convenient but it is not very environmental friendly and expensive in the long run.

I think CP means Nespresso.

作者: ACC-HE 時間: 2012-10-17 16:52

I actually prefer speed & volume over quality. I am thinking of making one or two mugs before work quickly with no clean up needed.

作者: pkphilip 時間: 2012-10-17 21:08

After contemplating for months, capsule vs. drip

I am using this as my daily driver:
http://www.hamiltonbeach.ca/hb_d ... mp;fc=&catID=89

It doesn't need paper filter, and the brew time is about 5 min per 16oz mug. I think it is cheaper and better than any capsule brewer. There are 2 settings (bold & reg) and the pressure is good.

I am a coffee geek, and would prefer my expresso machine or siphon coffee maker. still, for quick fix, the Hamilton does the job.

My daily use is an Ikea's stove top espresso marker. It makes exactly what I need (I'm the only coffee drinker in the house) and very easy clean up - no filter.

The only downside compare to single serving machine is that you have to wait 5 minutes instead of 30 seconds.

作者: Catpiano 時間: 2012-10-18 08:28

The nescafe one is cheap .. I bought one .. after few cup .. never used it la..  not much diff to instant coffee ... so ..

I mean Nespresso machine ..  hehe ....

Some coffee machine could be $2-3k ... but not better then the $2-300 nespresso .. since I don't drink any wine at all, I am very willing to spend on coffee machine .. bean ..etc ...  ^_^

作者: blue20ae 時間: 2012-10-18 08:39

Start your coffee arsenal with a good grinder first then coffee machine.

You can't have good coffee without good beans and the right grind!

I use a stove top moka too.
My hubbie prefers french press. I think both don't take too much time to make or clean up.
If I am really on a rush, I will drink free yucky coffee in the office.

作者: satil 時間: 2012-10-18 09:06

我每日做兩次咖啡. 每次兩杯,

可能因為我唔使番工,有時間, 用這部機慢慢做, 慢慢洗, 有時做Americano, Latte, Mocha...

開party, 餐後可以玩玩Irish Coffee, Russian Coffee, Calypso Coffee...

[attach]13326[/attach]

咖啡豆就每星期一去bridgeport 間viva java, 買半磅, fresh roast, 夠用一個星期.

曾經送過Keurig, Tassimo比親戚, 一般問題都係, 同一份量咖啡粉, 用大杯就比較淡. 唯一好是快, 唔使洗.

I tried that during the demo in the home show. I think one problem is that, the water is dispensed manually...so you have to press it and hold. I think it's kinda troublesome...instead of click a button and I can do something else.
2nd thing...the taste IMO can't compare with Nespresso...

I'm very happy with Nespresso coffee + fresh made foam milk to add on top..

I ordered mine from HK .. (should get friend from Malaysia to .. ) can buy here local (Cow town.. but I really hate shopping here .. ) and I read some place in Van sell them too ..

Sound expense for $1/g vs some bean is less then $10/lb .. but you only need ~ 7-8g for a cup of coffee, so $7/8 a cup isn't bad vs $30plus from coffee shop ... ^_^

For rare ones like Kopi Luwak (cat xxxx), siphon is the best because of the distillation and finer filter, it takes the bitterness out of it and comes out in a clear, citric taste coffee. If you use french press, I think the texture will become complicated (wasteful).

I might be buying the Bodum Santos:

It is a stove-top siphon maker and eliminate the needs for a seperate burner like my friend has.

Talk about beans, I am getting very picky. Personally I prefer single origin because of the purer taste. For expresso, I am still using Lavazza Crema e Aroma; and will be trying Hawaii Moloka'i soon. For the daily stuff, it would be Salt Spring Sumatra or Trader Joe's Kona. I am averaging about paying for $15/lb in coffee beans.

作者: pkphilip 時間: 2012-10-24 23:46

Green Mountain and Kopi Kuwak is overrated for me.

I rather have Kona or single origin Sumatra :-) I may have bad taste, but those expensive 2 taste like tea.
