i wanna a coffee machine....

....capable of making coffees like the cappucinos and lattes you get in Starbucks and costa coffee shops.
I realised i spent £5 on them last week and have worked out that at that rate i could buy a machine and save loads
I've tried an uno and a tassimo and they don't come close!
thanks

    I think the Gaggia machines are among the best, but they are quite pricey. Have a look on Kelkoo, they will tell you where to get the cheapest. Also I think Amazon sell them (then they would be free delivery).
    I let my mind wander and it never came back!

    I've got a kenwood frothy maker :rotfl:, it was only £ 20- 30, its basically a kettle with a mixer inside, it heats and mixes and has a button for extra froth! It might sound like it shouldn't work but it does, its quite noisy but as its several hundred quid cheaper than a Starbucks style Gaggia it works for me. I've moved to decaff and find the kenco decaff excellent, mixing 1/2 milk 1/2 water makes a nice cup of coffee but for decadence 100% full fat milk works for me and tastes just as nice as from a coffee shop! It also makes lovely horlicks btw :p
  • thanks for the replies. i am going to start with the frothy maker and then investigate a gaggia- there's so many different models!
