One-cup coffee machines at the office? what's the best?

We are looking to get a one-cup maker that uses either k-cups or the coffee pods, I just called Kaurig customer service and they were terrible and not helpful at all. are there any other services that rent you the coffee machine and you buy coffee for it every month? I know there are the coffee pods, but what machines do you use it with?-

QUESTION:
What is the best type of coffee machine?
Are the branded pod versions as good as traditional Espresso machines. Also, do they break down often, which brands are the most reliable?-
ANSWER:
If you are talking about ESE pods these are designed to be used in regular Espresso machines - usually with a bit of a modification. These make making espresso a little easier but are not as good as using freshly ground coffee. Nespresso pods make acceptable but not great coffee and require specially designed machines and tie you into buying the special pods which are only available from Nestle. Any of the other pods are a complete waste of time and make truly putrid coffee.Summary
No Pod is a good as freshly ground coffee brewed in an espresso machine. ESE or Nespresso pods are easier to use and require less experience than ground coffee and make acceptable coffee. The rest are garbage - Senseo and Dolce Gusto being popular examples of very bad coffee.

QUESTION:
Best Coffee Machine - Dolce Gusto or Tassimo?
Okay, i am a coffee lover, but i also like tea and the odd hot chocolate now and again, just as a treat.So one thing i have always wanted is a coffee machine, they are quick and just a gadget i would like in the new kitchen =]
So do you have either of these and what is your view, the both are quite equally voted but the tassimo has a range of companies making pods for them which makes it more appealing.
Let me know what you have to say.
I am waiting.
Thanks in advance.

ANSWER:
I don't have a Tassimo and have never tried it, so it's hard to draw a comparison. However we brought a Dolce Gusto a couple of months ago and I love it :0)Personally I don't think the coffee is that great from it really and we have a nespresso for the "I need my coffee" hubby.
The hot chocolate is nice, but the Macchiato (spelling sorry) and cappucino is superb. We were in a cafe the other day and I ordered a cappucino and in fact I ended up leaving most of it as I much prefered the one at home.
So I would say go to the store which is trialling it and they will usually let you try a cup first (at least here anyway) and see what you think.
I love my Dolce Gusto and wouldn't part with it.
