So, now Tassimo have messed up their milk pods...

Ah, something I forgot before - how to identify a perfect café:

A perfect espresso will taste well black - no sugar, no milk, no water dilution.
If that tastes good, you know they are really good.

BUT: Milk changes everything, so you could have a more fruity coffee that will taste sauer as a neat espresso but tastes great in say a Latte Macchiato.

Sugar can also mask badly made coffee - it is a possible solution for Starbucks coffee - yes, you end up drinking sweet syrup but you aren't burdened by the burnt coffee any more.

There is also an advantage of properly researching you purchases/decisions - you won't be disappointed because you know exactly what you will get.

And just to show you that I don't know everything - here is a problem I have been unable to find any answers to...

I agree, I always do a lot of research first Though a lot of people that I know seem to blindly make these decisions.
