We have a De'Longhi. Couldn't tell you the model because we've had it about 7 years and still works a treat. Does the usual, latte, cappuccino, Americano, flat something or other, and one or two others. As we both prefer latte, that setting gets the most use, though occasionally I might have a cappuccino. Heat the milk in a separate milk heater and it heats it to just the right temperature. Not scalding hot and certainly not lukewarm.
We used to use Lavalla(?), but now working our way through Taylors strengths. On number 3 now, which is mid range and quite nice.
@Mottie, so you don't care that pods are a very large contribution to the pollution problem? They can only be recycled at certain places and most manufacturers will only recycle their own brand. Also, someone in work once made me one with a pod and I didn't like the taste. He made it upstairs in the staff room so I didn't see him do it, but knew instantly it wasn't beans or granules.
