Well the self-serve coffee machine is installed at work. It is called the Lavazza Blue system and is a capsule-based system like the Nespresso-based coffee makers. There are about 8 different capsule blends which come with their own descriptions and strength ranking.
The first 30 capsules were consumed on the first day (everyone in the office tried one) and we now have a couple of hunderd more which sell for $1. each.
The machine is electronic and dispenses a short black or a long black of about 2/3 of an Americano cup, but also allows the operator to vary the amount of water in the pour. Comes out with a good looking but pale crema.
Definitely has some sort of coffee flavour although I havent quite figured out what. They describe some of the capsules as having a creamy flavour (which is not a description I would have applied to espresso) but I agree they taste a tiny bit creamy (not a characteristic I like).
Machine has a little steam wand that does quite a good job for the milk freaks.
I have only had one coffee to try it but would have to say it tastes different from one of my colleagues Nespresso machine. Dont think I will be retiring my plunger any time soon. Anyone else have any experience of these things?
