I fully understand that some MUST have properly percolated coffee but I've never done the migration from Instant coffee.
On special occasions I've been known to buy a cappuccino but have been seen to shudder at the price!!
It is good to see that these machines have become available at an affordable price!

We love our "0ne cup of cappuccino a day" and have to start the generator up every day to make it on our Auto cappuccino machine save us a fortune on cappuccino, an indulgence the bloody kids got us hooked on, never drank in our lives before either and the kids introduced us to Brown Brothers Muskato, now we like that occasionally too!!! Bad influence my kids!! or are we easily led??? Hmmmmmm?

Such is life,

I have gone off coffee lately, now and again I will make a milk coffee(remember the pinch of salt) this takes the bitterness away, but enjoy making iced coffee more.. Seeing I used to drink strong black coffee and no sugar.

We paid $39 for a Woolies coffee pod machine on one of those special with the orange rewards card thing. We already had an Aldi machine but the coffee was always bitter and not really hot enough. We ended up giving the Aldi machine to a friend, the Woolies machine makes better coffee, but only on the blue button setting, not the other 2. i still prefer my Breville Cafe Cord free percolator with the 2 heaped desert spoons of gloria jeans caramel and 2 heaped spoons of Aldi gold label or green label, makes around 10 mugs, one sugar and cream

I'm a tea man, myself, but Joy drinks the caffiene OD. (Black, no sugar )
She went off instant muck some years ago. Bought a "plunger" thingo.
Swears by it. We no longer carry instant aboard, or at home.

Ash & Wendy (and other coffee pod enthusiasts),
Have you included the cost of generator fuel in the 'savings' achieved with your cafe latte/pod machines?
Perhaps it would be an interesting exercise to convert the cost of the pods to $/kg, then compare the cost of 1kg of pods to buying ground coffee by the kg, which is how we buy it. And every machine takes a slightly different-shaped pod... funny, that. You're locked into the pod type for that machine.

Our gas-top whistling kettle brews for both my teapot and Joy's coffee pot, so it comes under the budget heading of 'cooking consumables.'

The Aldi and Woolies machines the pods are interchangeable, although the Aldi in the Woolies machine needs to held up from underneith just a bit as the handle is pushed down. I think we worked out the Gloria Jeans caramel coffee pods from Woolies cost 50 cents a cup and the chocolate about 45 cents.
Both the Wooles machine and my percolator run off the inverter from the batteries and solar so there is zero additional costs there, but we have another percolator that goes on the choofer or the inside stove as well, warms the Mazda up nicely in the morning but the roof hatch needs the fan exhausting slow to keep the gas fumes to a min, no room for a rangehood unfortunately.
