Cheaper alternative to Nespresso

Long ago I use to see this small pot in the malls and had no idea what it was for. Now I own 2 of them  - 6 cups and 3 cups.

I'm not a big coffee drinker, in fact I probably only take like 1 cup every 2 weeks.. With the hype of everyone getting their own coffee machine, I wanted to get one as well. But that was probably the silliest thing to do since I don't drink so much coffee. The most I'd probably do often is to make my own Affogato.

So I searched for alternative espresso makers and came across this. They are so ridiculously expensive here in Malaysia. I regret not getting them when I was in Europe, it was dirt cheap there. But thank God for a friend who introduced my cousin to a shop in Aus where she got it for me much cheaper. The 6 cup only cost me AUD12 and the 3 cup AUD9. Here in KL the 6 cup sells for RM160 - RM250.

I then got myself a small packet of Lavazza coffee powder and tested it out. It worked marvelously and my parents and J love it!

So for coffee lovers who are looking for a cheaper alternative that works just the same as those big coffee machines, try this.
