Lidl's coffee

There are now a few places to recycle them, DD has one not far away, plus with the subscription scheme you now get bags to place them in, and a list of local shops that will take them to send in to a Tassimo recycling centre.

Our nearest collection point is an hour away. Bit of a mistake really! 

Much prefer beans or ready ground coffee, 2 x 250 gms at our local Co-op, £5 just now so no contest! 

I know people love their pods so that's my own personal take on things. I enjoy frequent coffees through the day as well as tea. OH has his stand by jar of nescafe for trips out with a flask! 

Oh no, not instant coffee. I thought this was special club.

We have a Nespresso machine, quite small and light, we use in the caravan  and at home.   OH likes quite strong coffee, I prefer mine milder, it works well as we use different pods for our taste.  We usually buy L’Or from Sainsbury’s, especially when on offer, or Sainsbury’s own isn’t bad.  We haven’t shopped around too many brands but stick to what we know. 

I like Mocha, so am experimenting with our little machine at the moment.

When you buy direct from Dolce Gusto you get recycling bags sent to you and places to drop them off when full.

That’s a bonus Bill, I need to do a bit of research. I empty ours then put pods in recycling.

We also prefer "real" coffee, in our case usually from Ikea, £4 for 500g,  but as we usually only have one mug at lunch time, and 50% of the time one mug in the evening, the pods are just so much easier.  Even better now we have 2 ways of recycling  them

We only use them when it is just us, far too expensive to offer to visitors!!

In my home country, Norway, it seems most people are coffee junkies, if my sisters are anything to go  by!    They always have a pot on the go, or in a vacuum jug.  

Pretty sure they are drinking way more  coffee than is good for them!  When there we feel pressurised into drinking more coffee than is good for us.......and the fact it is usually accompanied by delicious cake just  makes things worse!

Our son enjoys his coffee, in his case Kenco instant, but was told by his doc to keep to no more than 3  cups per day.   Pretty sure I too was drinking much more coffee than was good for me when I was working.
