Meat Pie 47 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 So has any one of you bought a coffee maker (might not be the right word) You could call it machine or what ever. I did buy one not long ago and I am very happy with it. The only thing I don't, like the pods are not recyclable. So if you own one what is your opinion? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw some refillable pods on Lazada,might be worth a look 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timendres Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I purchased a Nespresso machine. I was quite happy with the coffee. The problem was not only the expended pods piling up, but the absurd price for the coffee. It was easily three times what I pay now for beans for my new Breville Barista Express. Plus, no pods, just grounds. I love the new machine, and wish I had started with it in the first place. Personally, Nespresso and the like, should only be considered by those making coffee a few times a week. Those like me, pulling 3 to 5 shots per day, or more, should seriously consider a regular espresso machine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post techietraveller84 Posted December 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2020 Budget wise, it's a very bad habit, but I get all my coffee from independent coffee shops near home or work. My unreasonable justification: supporting small businesses. At the end of the month, when looking at my expenditures, I know I need to get a coffee machine, since it'll save so much money. But it's so hard to give up the coffee shop routine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's so hard to give up the coffee shop routine. 50% of the coffe shop routine is based on socialization...we need that as humans...even if it's just being around others..not necessarily talking with them. I can do all of my laptop related work at home...but staying in all day it gets lonely and boring (not to mention...no opportunity to girl watch)...so I usually go out to a cafe with my mini laptop and while away a few hours with some nice hot tea (or cold tea) and some people watching. Helps you stay sane...of course it can get a bit expensive if you start to add snacks...but hey...what's retirement for...to enjoy life or to hermit yourself away ? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an essential part of most days for me and many of my friends. We are not 'bar goers' so the local coffee place is a great substitute for that kind of socialising. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedo1968 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I am lucky in that I go to a wonderful coffee house, that's basically all they sell. I get to taste new blends for free and comment openly on what I think of them. Their main business is roasting their own blends and have gone from 9th place to 7th place in Thailand over the past few months. Beans are from many different countries inc. Africa, Middle East, Latin America and Thailand. Never busy and generally the same people - they only open Monday to Friday with some people traveling from Khon Kaen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solinvictus Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Very satisfied with this not so expensive coffee machine (krueng cafe). Has lasted for awhile and a great product! I actually am a bit proud of the fact I can drink quality coffee at home whenever;that is even cheaper than going to 7-11 or some cafe all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But of course you'll miss the ambience of 7-11. Not easy to recreate that infernal door chime at home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend supplies all the coffee places in the area + drops me off 2 kgs of quality Arabica (800 bht) Ineed my coffee hit 1st thing + nobody is open at that time.. ‘Onwards and upwards ‘ ☕️???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss1960 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I restarted using Nespresso (restarted from my use back in Switzerland) when they halved their price in Thailand from 40 Baht to 22-24 Baht (depending on taste) and offered recycling for the capsules (I am a recycling person when ever I can). I can listen to my mood and make my own ristretto, espresso, lungo, americano, cappuccino, latte and so on with just one machine and one press of a button. And my first coffee in the morning is a double-lungo at 44 Bath (2 capsules) in my large mug, sitting outside at my pool and watch the world wake up and read my online newspapers.

Looks like my last model i really hated that you need to do everything except boiling and pouring water into a cup my newest model are doing everything itself by the push of the button and I only need to add water from time to time coffee beans and remove coffee mush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
