Any coffee experts out there?

[StuartH]

I am looking to ditch my tassimo as although it produces a half decent coffee I would like to try a bean to cup machine as the pods do seem expensive!. I recently saw this delonghi one on HDUK and seems well priced and gets very good reviews.

I did contemplate just getting an espresso machine and decent grinder but worked out as expensive if not more so plus the one above looks far less hassle. So would the one in the link be a big improvement over the bosch?..I'm not a coffee snob but do enjoy a decent coffee.

Yeah all pulls apart, even the brewing unit unclips and just slides out

Why do you think there's a difference?

Well someone seems to think there is .. \/

As I said above

There totally is a difference, millicano seems like a much courser grind whereas Azera is a really really fine powder that I find dissolves better into a rich, creamy, heavenly brew ;-)
(no I don't work for Nescafe, and I actually use my espresso machine way more often than having any sort of instant)

But the result is the same, add milk ( just a drop) pour on hot water, add sugar to taste and drink it.
