Sacrilege I know: My Vibiemme, after 12 years of day in day out use without a hiccup, is off to major repair. For the interim, and to later go to home office or somewhere, we bought a Francis Francis for Illy Cafe iperesspresso pods. I've always liked the Illy classic espresso roast and ehem, this plastic pod machine makes really good espresso. Not artista level but for something to get you going and fueled through the work day, the speed, convenience and taste is really good. And you send the used pods back to Illy for recycling so the environmental impact, while still high is not as awful as I first suspected.
