Yes ... I have their microwave too!

How much was it?

£25 - it's the manual one with two dials. One with a digital timer will set you back £29

just bought one of those Tassimo coffee machines. and GOD - are they impressive! they do the best cappucino and cup of tea i've ever had. EVER!

Are they worth it if you don't like coffee? You mentioned they make tea (which I didn't know they did) can they do other drinks as well, such as hot chocolate?

Our Morphy Richards was bought from John Lewis for £19 five years ago and is still going strong. Broadening it a little, my Father bought my mother a Phillips toaster in 1971 and it still makes perfect toast. It was our only toaster until about three years ago and we used it every day! It now has gone into semi-retirement after we bought a brand new Phillips, but it's not quite the same as Mr toasty.

I bought a really basic one like that from Asda a couple of years ago and it's still going strong - I didn't expect it to last more than a few months. I have a theory that the less gadgets appliances have on them, the fewer things there are to go wrong.

That is the logic behind my choices too

Yes I do not drink coffee at all but it makes nice tea and lovely suchard hot chocolate. There's a few different teas available: peppermint, earl grey, orange and breakfast.

Don they make any other hot chocolate other than Suchard?

loulou · « **Reply #22 on:** December 07, 2006, 06:32:34 pm »

No. Just suchard.

I couldn't be doing with that, I like variety.

loulou · « **Reply #24 on:** December 07, 2006, 06:35:02 pm »

Well as they are introducing their different flavoured teas and different coffees maybe they will introduce another hot chocolate.

kevvosa · « **Reply #25 on:** December 07, 2006, 06:36:31 pm »

I suppose it doesn't matter, cos you could have the machine and a kettle for all hot chocolates that can't be made using the machine.

Not with a kitchen as small as mine.I threw my kettle away. I could always boil a pan of water.

kevvosa · « **Reply #27 on:** December 07, 2006, 06:38:30 pm »

I had to boil a pan of water when my kettle broke and it just doesnt taste the same.

loulou · « **Reply #28 on:** December 07, 2006, 06:39:45 pm »

I boil a pan of water at night for my hot water bottle.
