Anyone here have a grind coffee machine?

I’m thinking of getting a pod coffee machine and am easily sucked in by aesthetics.

Does anyone have one? I like the look of it but the price tag is high!!

Open to other suggestions too.

I wouldn't spend that money on a pod machine - the coffee is just not very nice. You can get a bean to cup machine for not much more.

Your post isn’t clear, @SpinningTops - is it a grind beans coffee machine you are looking for (see title), or a pod machine?

I am looking for a coffee machine that grinds the beans, so if anyone has any recommendations…

It’s a pod machine by the company grind.

We have had a proper coffee machine where we tamp down the coffee but we’re rubbish at making a nice coffee - perhaps it is the machine. I thought a pod machine would be the answer to our rubbish barista skills.

Every pod coffee I’ve ever had the misfortune to drink (not by choice!) has been foul.

So, unless they have improved tremendously in the past 10 years or so I’d persevere and try to get to grips with your existing machine. There’s probably a YouTube tutorial out there.

I have a coffee grinder.
I wouldn’t buy a pod one I get frustrated with the small quantity of coffee and have to keep shoving more pods in. I drink a lot.
I also like complete control of the flavour and mix different beans to get that. I buy the beans online by the case load.
I use a stove pot of cafetière depending on how much time I have

Heres my Krups grinder
The best present I’ve had in a very long time,

If you’ve already got a decent coffee machine do a barista course and learn how to use it properly.

Ok, I’ve dusted off the old machine and now I’ve finally figured out how to remove the water reservoir I’ll see whether I can make anything resembling a decent coffee.
