3010 you beauty!! :beer:
I've been eyeing up one of these for DH for Crimbo too, thought it might feature in Amazon's Black Friday, but no... Although Amazon have it for £49 too now!

Anyway, that's another present sorted, nearly done now - thanks

Tesco have the Dolce Gusto Piccolo for £49.95 at the moment. Not sure if they have other colours but the only ones I have seen are black. I picked one up for the in-laws for christmas.

The Water tank on the Piccolo is 0.6L, whereas it's 1.3L on the model in the OP... Guess it depends how much coffee you're gonna drink

The piccolo will take up less space on your worktop, whereas this one is more funky looking - take your pick! The piccolo was reduced to £30ish at argos last Christmas.

although I am very happy with the coffee quality these machines make, they are not built to last . We drink a lot of coffee and live in a hard water region, despite regular descaling we are on our 2nd machine in a year ! the first one sprayed hot coffee all over the kitchen when it blew a seal, and now its replacement is causing a lake on the worktop from a leaking valve on the water tank seal . Mr T replaced it the first time but won't change it again , so if you are going to buy one , spend the extra £12 for the 3 year warranty .

Was going to mention this. It also qualifies for the clubcard exchange in Tesco. Depends on what else you buy etc as the clubcard exchange is £10 of vouchers gives £20 spend. So if buying this alone you could change £20 worth of vouchers if you have them, giving £40 spend & just pay £9.95.

Just ordered one for hubby for xmas - thats him sorted now!
Got the extended warranty as well thanks to the above comment as thought it was not too bad for £12.
The red one is more expensive on comet?

i thought they came with a 2 year guarantee from the manufacturer? I'm sure mine did, and when I've contacted their c/s they have been ever so helpful, I'd bypass tesco and go straight to Krups.

terrible coffee maker, produces such bad coffee i prefer freeze dried stuff. Actually drinking stuff made in a caffietierre that is 10blillion times nicer. oh and our 1st one lasted 4 months with low usage (1 coffee per day max), 2nd one ok for 12 months thus far. ill buy a proper coffee maker at some point when this ones packed up
