I’ve had a couple of manual coffee machines over the years, always enjoyed playing the home Barista, but could never replicate a good coffee shop, so I now have a simple Nespresso Citiz, which i’ve had a few years, I buy my capsules from Cosco and use a simple milk frother heater. Cups I find need to be small 210ml for best result. ( could never ever drink coffee in a mug). And would never consider buying a coffee from a chain shop. Find a local coffee shop privately owned by a barista for a truely beautiful relaxing coffee. And have a max of two coffees per day.
