Quite a bit
I've had this one for about a year now and really like it, I paid ~£210 for it.
Only annoying thing with the bean machines is there's a bit of cleaning to do after each use, especially if you use the milk frother.
Far better off with a bean to cup.
I had a Nespresso machine ages ago, and can't say I was impressed.
Going bean to cup was an enormous step up.
Some pretty good deals on the Krups machines..

I buy from Amazon all the time (at last weekly) and yet I miss Prime Day because the date keeps changing! Last time I was aware was about a month ago when my tech group was discussing it on Signal, so I thought it was back in June.
My daughter got a Nespresso Vertuo recently. It gets mixed reviews but it was reduced to £80 and then we got a further 10% discount at John Lewis through a family member. It may not be the best coffee maker but she loves it. The pods can be pricey and I prefer our normal filter coffee as it's cheaper per cup and tastes just as good. But it is convenient and needs far less cleaning.

I'd forgot just how ******* horrendous searching for anything on Amazon is.
a brush?
i have a lavazza pod coffee machine. It tastes better than the bean to cup machine at work (delonghi something or other) and tastes better/as good as me making with a gaggia espresso machine, as making coffee a couple of times at weekends, i never got consistent at getting good results.
The thing that put me off the pod machines was originally the taste, the early ones i tried were nothing special, but the waste irritates me. cellophane wrapped boxes, aluminium pods with plastic lids... all for a few cups of coffee. The Lavazza ones come in a cardboard box with compostable pods. and i couldn't be happier with it really. We generally have it as a flat white type drink, using the frother which came with it... if you want to drink espresso, then you'd need a pretty swanky bean to cup machine to get good results, as the grind needs to be pretty fine for good espresso. a decent grinder is pretty expensive on its own.

Ordered a couple of spirits. One of them £27 and supermarkets are charging £35.
No decent bourbon or rye that I could see..

Can highly recommend a bean to cup machine having moved from a Nespresso.
Picked up a Delonghi Magnifica Evo in April and I'm loving it - I don't really froth milk so aside from clearing out the used coffee ground tray its really easily to look after.

Indeed, but I need one with the milky frothy thing too.
I've got the Delonghi Eletta Cappuccino, and it's way better than the Jura I previously had, despite being a lot lot cheaper.
They do make good gear.

A new phone/card case for my phone. As back is coming away
Tempting, very tempting. My wife will be all too keen to tell me how many pods we can get for that price though, the uncultured cavewoman that she is
