Coffee machine for a Xmas gift

[BlondieD]

Would you give a coffee pod machine as a Christmas gift?

Background info-I work as a nanny and I wouod like a coffee machine in work. I am interested in the tassimo pods.

Would that be a good gift? I know selfish, giving them something I want and something that would benefit me. LOL

That’s a bad gift if they don’t want it. Why no buy one and just ask to store it there for work?

They already have a pod machine - nepresso but a few members did express an interest in the machine because of the variety of the pods available. I was thinking about the machine and a few packs of tassimo with the machine too.

If they’ll like and use it the it’s w nice gift but otherwise not

Personally, I have a Nespresso machine and Tassimo tastes like garbage in comparison... no way would I choose Tassimo over Nespresso ... that may just be me though!

I wouldn’t buy a gift that requires the recipient to have to continually purchase items to use it unless they had specifically said they wanted one.

If they've already got a coffee machine, then how can your gift of another, different coffee machine look like anything other than a gift to yourself (at best) or a weird passive aggressive comment on their coffee provision (at worst)?

We got given a Tassimo coffee machine about 8 years ago, it’s used most days in our house. It’s just the basic cheapest one, but we love it.

So why are you thinking of getting a Tassimo when they already have a much better machine?

Thanks

I won't go there so

Pod coffee is really bad for the environment too!!

As an aside, I wouldn’t expect our nanny to buy us anything at all really, certainly not somethjng so expensive?

Sorry but compared to Nespresso, Tassimo tastes like instant with coffee mate

Nespresso much nicer, the pods are recyclable also. I don't really understand who you are buying the gift for
