Coffee machine

I'm looking to buy husband a coffee machine for weekends. I've tried googling but going round in circles. I want a relatively cheap option but that takes different brand pods. Thank you 🙂

Take a look at the L'OR Barista Sublime, been really happy with mine had it about 2 years. They sometimes do deals where you get 100 free pods when you buy the machine. They'll probably have a good offer for Black Friday. In my opinion it's fantastic value for what you get.

Nespresso do good small machines and it can take different brand pods.

If you just want a pod machine I don't think there's much difference in them, it's more down to the pods you put in them as to how the coffee tastes. I'd go the best deal on Black Friday!

Yep, I have the same and get my pods from 'wonky coffee'

It takes Nespresso type pods.

I've only got experience with a pod machine and I like Tassimo. I favour the Kenco pods and with Amazon save and subscribe I find them quite affordable and delicious. Usually a retailer will have a Tassimo machine on specialist for £30-35, I wouldn't pay more and with black friday coming soon it might be the ideal time to buy.

Quick search and B&M are selling the machine I have for £25, I like it as the water container is on the side and not at the back.

Thank you for the replies.
We haven't had one for years now, and last time is was a Tassimo and we couldn't use other pods in it. Things have probably changed now! Will have a look at the recommendations 🙂
