Tea in the morning before leaving for work, Yorkshire Tea, made strong, 1 sugar, Nescafe Gold Blend after work, couple of cups, Real coffee on my days off currently Jacobs coffee, I'll either make a cappuccino or latte, I have syrups for the latter.

A strongish coffee with breakfast, then a less strong coffee around 3pm. Cup of Yorkshire Gold tea at 8pm. I do prefer coffee and use a Nespresso machine. Only buy the capsules direct from Nespresso, as I've tried all sorts of other brands and they aren't as good. Oh and both coffee and tea I drink black without sugar...

I had a Nespresso machine since 2010, I found Lidls pods the best and preferred them to the Nespresso Pods, my friend has that machine now as I bought a bean to cup but a lot of friends also swear by the Lidl pods.

Not tried Lidl's, however the non Nespresso capsules all seem to be tougher to be 'punctured' by the machine when you load them...

Give them a go, they should stock them throughout Europe, they look at perform exactly the same as a Nespresso capsule. The purple one is my fav.
I tried other brands before these came out and the pods either leaked or they tasted awful.

One brand of capsule I'd avoid is 'Cru Kafe'. I bought some following a great write up in one of the broadsheets. It's one of the weakest, watery, bitter coffees I've ever tasted.
