 :) I've got a coffee machine here for work, but I don't use it much, as its too hard to clean.

Its a breville.

I love my Saeco Royal Cappucino... in fact, my children know better than to ask me anything before I've had my morning latte!  Mind you, we now have two... I couldn't stand the thought of mine going in for a service for 14 days and having to have instant... :o

Fundj, it takes all types though!  ;)

I'm such a coffee snob I won't even try TMX coffee... :P

You're not crazy Uni, I prefer instant coffee too although I alternative between International Roast and Nescafe.  Then again, maybe we are both crazy  ;D

I have to agree. :-\
When I have instant which is a few times a day I use Moccona. We just prefer the taste.

Shanmac get some of the Christmas release nespresso capsules. They are lovely.You can see them here.

Shanmac, thank you for asking this question. I am a very fussy coffee drinker. I have a Breville Icon which I got with my Visa Rewards Points and it makes a great Mocha. Though I often wonder if i should use the TMX when I have a few friends over as it takes awhile to make one at a time.

I reckon using instant coffee for the latte in the EDC actually comes out pretty good.....for instant coffee that is.

I use Nescafe Espresso instant coffee when making a cappuccino in the TMX.

I nearly always use my TMX for coffee when we have guests. It takes far too long otherwise. As long as it has froth most visitors enjoy it. None of them are coffee connoisseurs.
