I do have one, and I often do (the Waitrose own-branded beans are more than acceptable). Unfortunately, my local branch is at least 2 miles away from home, and wouldn't satisfy my weekly brewing of 35 cappuccinos. The cost of buying a new super-automatic is soon recovered compared to buying that number of cappuccinos from the likes of Starbucks or Costa, for example.

I have used over-rated and over-priced Illy coffee beans. Better quality beans at lower prices can be sourced elsewhere.
