I started at the back on page 172 as you do, then worked my way to the front.
Only when I got to page 25 did I realise I had done a crash course of coffee making in 10 foreign languages.

Rosetta Stone of coffee in aluminium capsule format.
Just read the latte bit, will try it tomorrow. It's a bit complicated after a bottle of red.

Had to look that one up
Once the £1 sale has finished will you be changing the topic title to "What coffee are we drinking tonight" to run alongside the other popular refreshments topic of a similar name?

An alternative way to get your Nespresso machine is to use the current subscription offer for The Times.
Subscribe for a year and you get a free machine - no ties!
I like to read a decent paper - the subscription includes the Sunday Times as well and when the offer came up about 3 or 4 months back, I thought it was worth a try and it's been a good deal.D4 Commercial - 65 Plate, 2016MY
D5 Commercial - Handed back when I left that job…
D4 Commercial (2014MY) - gone
D4 Commercial SDV6 - Baltic Blue (also gone)
D1 300TDi... 2" lift, HD bumpers (both), detachable tow hitch, 9,500lb winch, 235/85/16 muds and plenty of other toys (gone to make way for the next toy...)
Smiles per Mile - Tornado Motorsports caged Evo 3... 100" Defender look-alike, with Range Rover running gear - all fully IVA'd and registered!

If the sale ends and they revert to full price, the whole subscription model ceases to be of any value to the customer.MY16 D4 Graphite in Loire Blue

I recently bought a matching and am in the process of trying all the different coffees. Trouble is the all taste the same to me.
My first order arrived this week (200 variety pack). I know there are tasting notes on the web site but feel they don't go far enough.Oh. By the way Tesco have some of their pods at £2 per box of 10.

I can usually tell the strength of a capsule but that's about all. Some I like more than others, but can I taste the red fruit / caramel / cereal notes? Nope.MY16 D4 Graphite in Loire Blue

Does anyone know what the difference between what the latte button and the cappuccino button do?
I know one makes latte and one makes cappuccino, but does the button just control the amount of milk and the amount of coffee or does it also control the milk frothiness? The milk container has a control on it to adjust the milk texture. If the button doesn't alter the milk texture then I can see the latte button being used for a milky drink and the cappuccino button being used for a less milky drink, and the type of drink being set by the knob on the milk container.MY16 D4 Graphite in Loire Blue

Made my first couple of lattes this morning, and very scrummy they were too.
Though truth be told, got cocky with the second one and only realised i hadn't loaded a capsule when the milk cycle dinished. Wasn't an issue as just killed that cycle, loaded a capsule and hit the medium "normal" button that I've reset for our smaller mugs. Disaster averted!!

Can't remember if I posted this already but some recipes and instructions here
Peteyd - The Latte appears to be long coffee with lungo pods and Cappuccino is short coffee with espressoWanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Received mine this week too, a £300 machine for a quid. No brainer, many thanks to the OP.

Been trying to persuade SWMBO to sign up to get a second machine for southern gaff, she's not having any of it.

"SWMBO" has just ordered a red Touch machine and her own Subscription. Amazing what a bright colour does!!
Shame I'll have to drink all the coffee as she can't stand the stuff.
