riddle Posted October 20, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Will be in our first suite on Nov. 9. I know there is supposed to be a fancy coffee maker that makes lattes, cappuchino, etc. Is this a pod type machine and if so can I get tea pods as well as coffee pods?

It uses pods and they will have several different coffees and teas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_sobe Posted October 20, 2014 #3 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I am probably in the minority but I am not a fan of the Lavazza machine. Any coffee that comes from a capsule is not good IMHO :) And since it is used mostly for coffee the tea always tastes like coffee too. Universal machines never make great anything. Sort of like universal gym equipment. They do a poor job with each muscle group. A specialty machine always works best. But it does make coffee fast ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freespir8 Posted October 20, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I LOVE the Lavazza coffee machine! It is way better than any mini coffee pot you may have in other rooms. We have the butler stock our fridge with milk (you can use chocolate too for a mocha) and enjoy a latte at least once a day. It saves the cost of purchasing a latte as well. I believe they use the same machine when serving lattes elsewhere on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freespir8 Posted October 20, 2014 #5 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Oh and yes, they do have an assortment of teas. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Peachypooh Posted October 20, 2014 #6 Share Posted October 20, 2014 After trying the tea pods I decided to just heat up water and use tea bags for my tea. I filled up a coffee cup with the bottled water provided in our suite and used the steaming mechanism to heat it up It's hard to explain how to do that but your butler will know. It made better tasting tea in my opinion that way You can pick up tea bags at the buffet or in the haven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mizLORInj Posted October 20, 2014 #7 Share Posted October 20, 2014 The tea pods for the Lavazza machine are way too sweet IMO. Love the coffee though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeye82 Posted October 20, 2014 #10 Share Posted October 20, 2014 For just a regular cup of coffee, I end up going elsewhere. The coffee pods in the suites make it way too strong and bitter. I wish they had regular coffee pods like Keurig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pisenor Posted October 20, 2014 #11 Share Posted October 20, 2014 We will be in our first suite in January. Our 11yo son loves to drink hot chocolate with his evening snack. We have a Keurig at home and he loves to make his hot chocolate with it. My question is does NCL stock the Hot Chocolate pods for their machines? I know they are available but unsure if NCL keeps them on board. If they do, great! If they don't I think I will have to buy some to take with us so he won't be disappointed. Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he started using the Keurig machine to make his nightly choco (his name for hot chocolate) he has become a bit of a choco connoisseur/snob and refuses to drink the powdered stuff. I have explained that is all that is inside the K-cups he uses. He understands this but says "Dad, it is just not the same". I suppose it would compare to a coffee drinker having to make a choice between a cup of instant and drip coffee. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He brought the packets and I've never seen the pods on any NCL ship for hot chocolate. Our DS just fills up a cup with water, steams it with the silver tube, then adds the mix and is happy as a clam.

philatiger Posted October 21, 2014 #24 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Does anyone know if all the suites on the sun have been switched over to the Lavazza? We are booked in 9202 SG and the last I heard they still had regular coffee pots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are booked in 9202 SG and the last I heard they still had regular coffee pots. The aft penthouse suites on the sun do not have a Lavassa coffeemakers. I believe the only suites on the Sun that do are the owners suites. Our concierge offered to bring us one but there really was not room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
