I wanted a machine for my campervan, and a real machine would have been too big and awkward and messy, so I thought I'd see what capsule machines are like, expecting a rather severe compromise. Tried a Nespresso, yuck, decided I'd rather use a Bialetti, but then tried the Iper, just because of the Illy name really. I like their beans and was intrigued that they'd taken over the company which used to make Iperespresso machines, and I was stunned. It's even good enough to drink it black. But usually I have it with microwaved milk. For reference, the other places I like to go, apart from my kitchen, are Monmouth and the Little Cat cafe in Myatt's Field Park. I live in Brixton but dislike all the coffee in the coffee shops here.
