$1999 +gst

No self respecting espresso drinker would ever consider a super automatic a "real" machine.

This would be a much better way to spend ~$2k

We have a K-Cup at the office and I won't even drink it even though it's free.

I buy the Nescafe Instant at Costco, 260 cups for like $9.00 and just put some in a container and bring into work. My starbucks gold card has gone from 4 purchases a week to maybe one per week.

I could not be bothered with a drip machine that you have to clean every day.

Man... Some pretty finicky coffee drinkers here! lol!

I just make a pot of coffee in the morning and enjoy it for the warmth and caffeine injection. Otherwise I am not that fussy. I like a nice premium coffee too now and again, but for daily morning purposes, gimme just about any regular store brand and I am good to go. I would rather buy a nice bottle of Scotch once a month and cheap out on daily coffee than drink cheap scotch and have fancy coffee...

You could always drink good scotch and good coffee...

Sounds like I now know what might lubricate a snow tire changeover when Bob and company are fully booked.... it can't hurt anyway.

I just don't get it. The coffee manufacturers must be in on it with Keurig and Tassimo. Laughing all the way to the bank. And we eat it up with a smile.

Would you pay $149.99 for this?:

Dave,

Let me introduce this line of American products:

I have that same HB coffee maker and I don't like it. I bought it for the thermos and that part is ok since it doesn't have to heat the glass pot, it tastes the same all the way to the bottom. However I hate the pour spout on it, dribbley POS.

I KNOW rite?!!!!!! WTF was the R&D dept doing when they designed THAT POS!!!
I'd love to take a full carafe of coffee and walk into the guy in charge and ask him to pour himself a cup over top of his keyboard and important papers!! IMPOSSIBLE to do it without dribbling and spilling!!

To me it's just a "meh" coffee maker. The best one I ever had are the Bunn's that Tim Horton's sells. But our current one won't make the coffee hot. I like my coffee SCALDING hot! Wifey bought this HB one...I'm not super impressed.

I have this when I'm lazy and just want a pot of coffee for the wife and I. Works good enough, pours nicely.

[yellowsnow]

I use a Bodum french press

boil water, grind beans coarsely, pour water on beans. wait 4 mins... great cup of coffee.

[KeepItGully]

Great deal on the digital Tassimo t65's on Black Friday.. I had to pick one up now that Tim's makes disc's.

Here's the link if anyone is interested. 65% off.

It's like comparing a 2L of Coke to a can of Coke.

Sometimes you don't want to be bothered with the extra 1.6 litres, even though it's cheaper by volume.

I drink 1 coffee at home each day, and my wife likes Lattes. Tassimo works perfectly.

[EK 2.0]

You guys are all doing your coffee wrong...

[r3ccOs]

fresh boiling, but not scalding water, proper grind and french press is easy, easy to clean and the best way to make a proper cup of coffee

the drip machines are fine, and I use a cuisine art... again its about quality of beans and type of grind

keurig and tassimo's are below compromise, terrible ecology and are expensive... yet ever spoiled housewife I know has one, here in Calgary
the whole kit and caboodle, including the $40 display stand

[captain134]

I have the Nescafe Dolce Gusto.



I am a coffee addict and used to drink mostly Tims/McD's/Starbucks etc... Now it is a bad day if I can't have a coffee from my machine.

I am the only coffee drinker in the house so k-cup are fine for me and they usually cost 7.99 for $16 so IMO WAY better then being in line for a tims or something.

Also it makes other great drinks as well. Hot or cold drinks.

I have both Tassimo and Keurig, I am the only coffee drinker in the house. I love the convenience, and I only bought the keurig because my neighbour got an extra as a gift and sold me hers at the parade of garage sales for $20.00 brand new out of the box. I can't stand the K-cups like mentioned before there is something in them. I ended up buying a permanent filter to use my own coffee much better.

I still do French press it's a much nicer coffee for sure.

When I have company I have a Percolator.

I drink one coffee a day before I switch to yerba for the remainder.

[boarderfatty]

I use a french press and fresh grinds for my personal coffee in the morning. At my shop though we have a Keurrig machine mainly for convenience. If a customer or employee wants a coffee, they can pick a k cup and make a "fresh coffee" for themselves with little hassle. Use to have a traditional drip coffee maker which was decent, but always a mess and very wasteful (ie brew a pot sits fr 2hrs before dumping it and making a new pot) Customers seem to enjoy the variety of "special flavors" and then we also have hot chocolate for kids

I use a french press and grind all my beans. Way better flavor than any machine.
