I was lucky enough to book a Premier Plus room on the cheap this weekend and I thoroughly enjoyed the extras such as a nicer room, mini-fridge, faster internet, nicer shower gel, and best of all - a coffee machine!

It took coffee pods and you were given 4 of them to sample over 2 days. It was definitely real coffee as opposed to instant as you could feel the caffeine kick that instant doesn't normally give you. As pictured below, the size and shape of the machine is around the same as a 2-slice toaster. Fill the tank with water first, turn it on at the wall, insert a pod, press half cup or full cup button and a hot coffee was yours 1 minute later. I wasn't sure how to get the empty pod back out though as it seemed to have dropped further down into the machine's chassis, then maybe the housekeeping staff empties the machine after I check out?

Does anyone know what the make/model of this machine is? Any signposting is appreciated. Being visually impaired, I find this suitable. Flavoured drinks such as salted caramel is a bonus but not essential. Just a quick-fix Americano style coffee that I can then add milk and sugar to would be fab.

As above they are Nespresso pods.
I actually buy the compatible Lidl pods, iirc its £2.80 for 20 espresso pods.
 
yep thats an OG Nespresso machine, they have loads of types & styles but the internals are pretty much the same unless you go for one of their 2nd gen machines with the big pods (purely designed to lock you out of cheap pods)

It’s a Nespresso machine. Very straightforward to use, decent results and the coffee pods are off patent so can get a very wide selection now.

Perfect if you’re drinking espresso based drinks and don’t want the fuss!
 
I've had a Nespresso machine for a long time now. Possibly nearly 10 years. Still works fine and produces really good (enough) coffee for me. Nespresso pods are generally very good quality and good taste/strength. They have a huge variety. The cheaper pods from supermarkets are a bit hit and miss. If you find one that you like then stick with it. The starbucks nepresso compatible pods I have always found quite good but not that much cheaper than official nespresso ones from what I recall.
