In case anyone's interested the Polka Champagne Yeast Candy Cane Pale was utterly abysmal beyond words and went down the sink to poison some marine life.
I've got a Polka, Belgian Champagne Yeast Candy Cane Pale Ale 6% which sounds abysmal but you never know. Hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised by either the beer or the Albion performance, or both.
We've got a Delonghi Dedica and use it daily. Easy to clean and descale and we like the fact that we're not beholden to whats inside a pod - we can pick and choose beans, and blend as we feel. Plus the additional environmental impact of pods makes me a sad panda. But mainly the coffee is ****ing...
