We bought a DeLonghi coffee machine that grinds the beans and can prepare from an espresso to a cappuccino. It was on special and we got it at 50% of its normal price. What a bargain
. I am glad we did buy it, and according to me it is the best buy for a small family.
The best beans we used so far (this is going to shock PR
) is decaffeinated beans. My wife is semi-allergic to caffeine and we tried it. It tasted more like coffee than most coffee beans with caffeine
.
We basically shop around and buy whatever is the cheapest beans... but I don't know if it is the quality of the machine, but we haven't had a disaster as yet (taste wise). All the coffee beans actually make a decent cup of coffee
or maybe the barista is not to bad
who knows?
