Lidl's coffee

I tried using a third party capsule from Costco (can't remember the brand) for my Nespresso machine but didn't like them so i stick with the Nespresso capsules 

The Starbucks range of Genuine Nespresso capsules are good, although there are only four varieties. Available from Tesco, at full price there is not much difference to buying from Nespresso, but they are quite often on £1 off a pack of 10, which is when I stock up.😀 I have tried some of the Nespresso knock offs, also available at Tesco, but they have a habit of jamming.

Thanks Steve, I'll keep a look out and give them a try.

I have not used the Lidls own but over here I do use LeClerc or Carrefour own brand with no issues and have bought them from Amazon, just had a Carrefour Cappaccino and tastes fine for me as I do not like strong coffee and OH has decaf ones with no problems.

We treat ourselves to a little coffee pod machine for Christmas, after using one in a cottage we stayed in. Lakeland’s own brand machine, takes Nespresso pods. Like others, we are experimenting with different brands. Starbucks from Tesco we like. Tesco own brand very nice. We got some Costa compatible pods, again very nice. I found some Little’s pods in a Sainsbury’s, they come in nice flavours like the Little’s coffee jars, and we would definitely get more if I could find some. Lakeland sell pods from the Eden Centre, eco friendly.( A bit bland if I am honest.) Aldi had both Dolce Gusto and Nespresso pods in last time I was in, but limited flavours on both. I shop around, look for those on offer. We limit ourselves to a couple of cups of pod coffee per day, and have it as a lunch treat. But we normally vary our drinks by choice.

We recycle as well. Open up pods, collect grounds, which are a brilliant snail deterrent around plants, then put the pod cases into recycling.👍

Our first German van came with a 'coffee pod' machine....being fans (plebs) of Aldi's fantastic (to us) granules (swapped from Sainsbury when the local Aldi opened a couple of years back) we had no need for it and took it out, putting it back when we traded it in for this one....which didn't have one😉

Coffee makers are quite bulky, we always travel with a Aeropress takes up very little space and makes a great cup of coffee. Very easy to clean too.

We're not big coffee drinkers but do like good coffee.  We have a large Nespresso machine at home and a small one (without frother) for the van.  Don't find it too bulky at all. We've tried various cheaper Nespresso substitutes but don't really like them so stick with the Nespresso ones. We always use their free re-cycling service.

We always had a couple of filter coffee mugs in our outfit, like these here

However, we have found with age that we were both suffering a bit with indigestion after filter coffee, so had stopped using them. Hence why we were rather surprised at getting no indigestion with the pods, even the strong ones. That prompted us to buy a pod machine. Ours is very compact, so in Summer, I can see it going away with us.
