Aeropress, preground 2 scoops. About 1hr coaching from you to get them started (volume of water plus time to brew). A possible no no if they like the "milky" nespresso drinks.

...they've had a nespresso for years now and swear by it, I think the coffee it makes is fine but unremarkable
Which was pretty much my experience after trying coffee from one at the weekend. Tempted to get one though as it's pretty faff free for having a coffee before leaving for work (I use an Aeropress most other times).
Are all the machines pretty similar ? Does this seem ok for £70ish ?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-35605927 Interesting but not surprising reading on the dark side of coffee pods.
Trying to work out how to change my parents habits, they've had a nespresso for years now and swear by it, I think the coffee it makes is fine but unremarkable. My pa used to have an Elektra but found it an inconsistent faff. Recommendations for a simple espresso machine that'll break the nespresso habit? They like nice coffee but probably not after a new hobby so weighing/dialling in etc probably isn't their bag...
