I want to throw another idea
We can have a proper nespresso machine for free if we subscribe a 18 £ /month subscription
Here how it works
We pay 18£/month
The machine is ours from day one for 1 £
The 18£/month became credit in the nespresso website to buy the pods
We can spend that credit as we want, is cumulative
The subscription last 12 months
We have 36 months to spend the credit
The collect and recycle the spent pods
Free delivery of the pods
Only catch, the credit is usable of course only to buy genuine nespresso pods
So we have to buy 654 pods in 3 years to make it work,that means 1 pod every 2 days
If we run out of credit because we use more than 1 every 2 days we can buy the cheap stuff , we loose only the recycle service
Thought so… that’s why I said we need the kettle… 
Another option… (yes I’m full of ideas tonight)
I really like that machine and I’ll buy it for myself anyway (I will justify it as a self present for Christmas ) what about I’ll bring it for a while at the space with a bit of selection of pods and we can try it out? If you folks like it we can get one later on
Can we get a sense of how many people want an Espresso machine?
Sure of course
As a way of making it easier to track interest:
- Yes, I want the Espresso Machine.
- Some other opinion.
0 voters
There are two options because it’s a requirement.
Can you change it whit I want an espresso MACHINE? that thing make a lot of things hahaha
You can probably get one with lasers and a hotdog oven as well 
Everything possible mate… Everything!

I can’t get a decent coffee at work and so invested in a aeropress and mail order coffee. It’s pretty cheap and while not an espresso it makes a pretty good coffee in no time and is easy to clean up : The used ground can be pushed out as a pelet into a food waste bag or can be mixed with compost for the garden.
Have you found anything with recyclable pods that’s any good?
I bought one for a friend after many recommendations, he really likes it.
Personally I drink coffee brewed in all of the standard ways, but the best perhaps most environmentally friendly way is just to stick ground coffee in mug, add hot, not boiling water, stir profusely, let it sit for 3 mins then drink. Don’t need any gadgets at all. Just dont drink the last dregs!
If the capsule thingy is deemed environmentally friendly now, I’d also be interested. If they still make them with alu and plastic I would ban it like the German local government did.
I May have an answer to this!
I have one that needs repairing!you put beans in the top and espresso comes out. grounds go in a bucket
nothing to recycle
I bought a replacement so the wife is telling me it needs to go.
cannot guarantee it will ever work (quite confident it is something simple) and we may have to spend a little bit to get it working, but the coffee is worth it,
happy to donate it to the space

Might be worth having a look at electronics night or something? Most generous if it can be made work and we reach a consensus that it’s a great idea
Yeah we can’t commit to a hoarding episode long-term repair project, but if it can be made to go, then it would be quite the thing!
Hey we are talking about a coffe machine, not the lease for the arch … let’s try Mark’s if is not the thing we can try 10 more hahaha
I still think that the pods are cleaner and could fit better our needs but I also have a few packs of my hometown coffee beans to use…
