These posh coffee makers

Has anyone got one - or had any experience of one?
These Dolce Gusto /Tassimo machines that make a hot drink of your choice, where you buy pods for them and it's supposed to taste as good as coffee shop coffee?
We are thinking of buying one, but they are a lot of money and the pods aren't sheap either, so what I want to know is - is it worth it, and which is the best one to go for?

These Dolce Gusto

I have this model, my wife bought it for me last year, I like it, it's not quite Starbucks or Costa Coffe, but is is nice, The capsules are on the expensive side, I usally bulk buy if they are on special, The hot choclate is really nice.

My kettle is royal blue - does that count as being a posh coffee maker?

We stayed in a posh hotel in Brussels recently where we had a Nespresso machine in the bedroom. It was certainly an improvement on the usual little sachets of Nescafé, but I'm not sure I would be bothered to have one at home - one more thing to clutter up the kitchen worksurfaces

Me too

I don't like these machines where you have to buy x, y and z to use them. Not exactly environmentally friendly, if every time you want a cup of coffee, that's another leftover bit of packaging to dispose of.

Ha ha ha ha ha Lainy - didn't realised I had typed that!!

I'm guessing by your replies that's a no then - I have a cafetiere, but it just seems that the coffee I make in it tastes nothing like Costa Coffee, or other coffee shops, which I love.
I agree too about them cluttering the kitchen surfaces.
