This Lavazza coffee machine was a steal at £24.99 when I picked it up from B&M a couple of months ago. Now £20.00. An excellent machine that makes much better coffee than Tassimo and is on par with Nespresso in my opinion.
The RRP on this is £69.00 (John Lewis / Lakeland / Sainsbury's)
Enjoy!

Heat from me.
I'm a coffee snob, yet we have a Gaggia Classic, a filter coffee machine and one of these in our house. Why? The Gaggia makes the best coffee, no doubt, but whether you're grinding beans or simply using good quality ground coffee, it's messy as hell. It also takes several minutes on average to make one cup, including the milk frothing.
The filter machine is for just making a big jug of morning coffee for the whole house.
This Lavazza is for when you just want something quick and easy - just one or two cups - that still tastes infinitely better than instant coffee. Pod in, press button, bin pod, done. No fuss, no muck and super quick. Even faffing on with the filter machine isn't convenient in some instances - these pod machines are clean and ideal for a work/office environment, for example.
It's not good enough to simply state you can get better coffee from, say, a bean to cup machine. Of course you can. But different usage scenarios require different solutions and this is ideal - and a bargain - for many people.

Sure there is no argument over this price being a deal but i always wonder why people need coffee machine for instant coffee...
There is a logic in bean to cup real coffee machines but all machines under instant coffee machines are as needed as an egg boilers of course. A strong marketing by manufacturer of such machines have truly brain washed a lot of us.
Yes i am a regular coffee maker and drinker and yes you do not have to agree with me.
Thanks.

What a load of nonsense. There are several levels of quality when it comes to coffee - ranging from cheap instant right through to quality "bean to cup". These pod machines sit somewhere in between (and this Lavazza is one of the better ones)...they're obviously not on par with fresh coffee, but how a "regular coffee maker" can compare them to instant coffee is beyond me.

They're always on "annual special offer" in John Lewis, half price at £39.99 so this is hot.
They do chuck in a couple of espresso mugs and some pods, but definitely not £20s worth.

Do the Lavazza pods fit Nesspresso machines?

I'm using one of these for a couple of months, bought mine at B&M for £25, honestly the best 25 pounds that I've spent in my life! Love the coffee, the taste is amazing, the machine is working flawless. I'm buying the pods from Sainsbury's, when they are on offer for £3. And my recent discovery was that at Home Bargains the orange Lavazza espresso pods are sold for just £2!

So why make a pointless comment if you don't like the idea that people will criticise you for it; because you just believed that everyone should have the benefit of your infinitely superior wisdom and good taste?
People buy the machines because they are cheap, not withstanding the pods aren't, and because of the convenience. Bean to cup coffee machines aren't cheap, but then maybe you just wanted us to know how well-off and extravagant you are.
Sure you don't want to come back and tell us about how you not only grind your own, but also roast your own, and grow your own, on your own Caribbean plantation?

I agree. I accept this is a good value deal, but honestly, buy a proper coffee machine - difference is night and day. And cheaper in my experience than pods.
