I’ve been wanting to swap out our Nespresso Vertuo capsule coffee machine for a while, as Nespresso work on the same business model as Gillette razors (make the money on the capsules/blades, rather than on the coffee machine/razors).

I worked out that we were spending around £800 a year on Nespresso capsules (we got the machine half price eighteen months ago), so in less than a year we wil be spending less, with a wider choice/style of coffees (the new machine can make (among others) espressos, americanos, lattes, cappuccinos, filter, & cold brew).

Would like to see a mini review of the coffee machine if possible ? After finishing our kitchen last year and installing an inbuilt bean to cup machine her ladyship has now decided we need to move house. The ninja is one I’m potentially looking at

I have the De'Longhi Primadonna Soul machine. Quite a work horse as well. Plenty of choices of what type of coffee you want from its menu. But mainly it comes down to the beans you use.

I've tried a lot, from Lavazza, Spiller & Tait etc, but I tend to always end up with 'Coffee Masters Triple Certified Arabica Coffee Beans' which are usually quite freshly roasted. But they're well balanced for my needs. I like strong coffee. You can't go wrong with them, but you can use them as a guide to your liking.

The Primadonna Soul was our old machine and it was very good but the delonghi app was/is terrible
