Oh !!!!!! I hope these don't arrive damaged, they are being delivered by DPD, all other times I have caught them when offer at Supermarkets or when I have money off coupons.

I will keep everything crossed for you Colin!

I have been buying the L'Or latte discs, they are by far the best lattes I've tried in the Tassimo range. I much prefer them to the Costa ones and are often included in the offers.

I can also recommend the new Bailey's latte, lovely and smooth and silky!

I love a mocha and tried the new Kenco mochas and wasn't impressed. It was a really small drink and wasn't very chocolatey.

I make my own mocha:

1) Put drinking chocolate powder in your favourite mug (it always tastes better in your favourite mug)
2) Add the milk disc from the latte and give it a good stir to dissolve all the chocolate powder in the hot milk
3) Add the coffee disc from the latte and give it a gentle stir
4) Add mini marshmallows if you're feeling extra indulgent
5) Enjoy! :j

I always make these when friends pop round for a coffee and they always say they're nicer than a mocha from a coffee shop

The only problem I've found with ordering direct from them is they've always arrived damaged.
The last order was so bad it smelt awful as it was in the height of summer and the discs had split and the milk had gone off. It stank my whole house out!
I rang them up and they asked me to email them photos of the damaged goods before they'd replace them.
They then replaced the order but some of that arrived damaged too, I've not bothered since and only buy them in the supermarket when they're on offer.

Thankfully, I've never had this problem - either you've been unlucky or I've been lucky

Has anyone tried the 'hot chocolate' pods? both Cadbury and Suchard.

My wife bought several packs and all of them have been next to useless. The problem is the powder in the pods turns to a paste and most remains in the pod and is not 'flushed out' during the cycle.

Anyone else have the same experience?

Think I've had both - def Suchard though. I didn't find them 'chocolatety' enough.
