    I need to decide what coffee to buy 😕
    We’ve got a £40 capsule credit to use so is it worth getting the 250 mixed assortment or just picking individual flavours? – I’m not sure I can cope with the range in the assortment packs.
    Anybody use the nice dispensers or are they a bit naff in reality?

    is it worth getting the 250 mixed assortment

    The only reason not to buy that is that it includes decaf, now whats the point in decaf coffee.

    Personally I think their dispensers are a bit naff but each to their own.

    I just buy everything but decaf.

    What he said about the assorted pack, although what do you know until you’ve experimented? I went that way and now just order what I like.

    Do you like your coffee strong tasting? The strength number of each type is a taste strength, not a caffeine strength.

    Can you get to selfridges to the Nespresso cafe to try a few out?

    Personally, I buy the purple espressos, and the green Lungo. If you want decaf, get the intenso, as the normal decaf is a little weak. If there is one you particularly fancy trying, I’m sure one of us will send you a capsule.

    Yep I do but MrsSB likes a Late and one of her chums only drinks decaf! I have got the sample pack that came with the machine but I suspect that’s not going to last long. I quite like your choices ^

    indriya is current fave,green lungos and purples tend to go quite quick in this house also hazelnut “variations” is still available at nespresso and worth a go for something diffrent,also we bought the silly priced nespresso glassware and it is brillo!,really nice to see your coffee settling just like a pint of guinness ,and the measurements and as a result flavour are a lot more accurate,it also looks a lot more pro for your lattes etc,we also have a chrome spinny capsule holder which looks/works perfectly o.k(amazon £20.00) but as someone else posted we also have a simple glass bowl full of capsules as well so whatever you like really……..just get the nespresso glasseware, you wont regret it

    Indrya and blacks for me

    Others seem to like the gold one.

    The decaf intenso is decent too.

    I got some latte cups for £1.50 each, no branding, suits me fine.

    Depending on the machine, tall mugs don’t fit under the spout very well. We ended up in John Lewis taking cups over to a machine to find ones that fitted!!

    Even for a Latte, a strong shot of espresso is good. We have an aerocino, but instead add cold milk onto the coffee, and Zap in the microwave for 1 minute.
