Advantages: Small and compact unit, no mess, very quick and great coffee!
Disadvantages: Pods run out fast!

...I was given a Russell Hobbs 11299 Uno Uno coffee-maker for Christmas. It was a completely unexpected gift. What was even more unexpected was just how good the coffee made by this machine is! The coffee-maker is sleek and attractively designed. It has a very small footprint and therefore takes up little workspace in the kitchen (or better still in my study!). It really looks the part. To set up is simplicity itself. You fill the easily removable water container on the back to the "maximum" line, refit the container and then switch on the machine with the button at the front. This pre-heats the water. You then select your uno uno coffee pod - 5 of the "Love at First Sip" pods come with the machine - open the lid and place the pod in the round receptacle inside. (This can be removed to make the task of fitting the pod... Read review

Advantages: Fun, fun, fun
Disadvantages: Brings out the most competitive side even the most placid of people

...A friend gave me a gift the other day, it was Uno, she obviously thinks I don't have enough card based entertainment in my life. It wasn't however the first time I had seen these funny coloured cards. It was a firm family favourite during my younger years and often played sat around my Grandma's dining room table. On many a Sunday afternoon the shouts and cheers could be heard from Auntie Doreen's house 3 doors down. "For goodness sake Mum, how many times do we have to tell you the rules" was a favourite saying or "Grandma a 4 does not follow a 6". I personally think that my Gran knew full well how to play, she just couldn't be bothered and would rather play dumb, so that eventually she'd be asked to leave. That way she could go and make the Angel Delight and watch Songs of Praise. Anyway I digress; you all want to know how to play... Read review

...Now, I'm a bit of a gadget freak and like to make sure I get my hands on most of the 'mod cons' on today's market. Of course, this always has to be within reason. So, whilst browsing Amazon one day, I saw the 'Uno Uno Coffee Pod Brewing System' and decided I had to have it! At first glance, not only would the black and silver design go with all of the other appliances in my kitchen, but it was priced at just £19.99. I quickly searched the internet to see what it was priced at elsewhere and found that they were selling for as much as £49.99! This was a bargain and I had to get it quick! **WHAT ON EARTH IS THE UNO UNO COFFEE POD BREWING SYSTEM?** The Uno Uno Coffee Pod Brewing System (from hereon I shall refer to it as Uno, to save my aching fingers!) is essentially a coffee machine - with a difference. Rather than using... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, reliable, fun!
Disadvantages: Electrics!

...Although I have resisted, I can resist no more the time has come, its time to enlighten you all to the virtues of owning a Fiat Punto. As some of you already know, I am probably the number one enthusiast of Fiat, with my present love being my trusty Punto called Fifi. I know what you are all saying, how can you adore a Punto, after all aren’t Fiat’s the lowest of the low, the rust buckets of all cars, the cars that no one admits to liking! But I’m going to tell you exactly why you, like I, may grow to love a Punto! My relationship with Fiats has spanned over the last ten years graduating through a total of 5 Fiat Uno’s. With Uno out of production, I knew it couldn’t last, I had to move on. Stood in Notting Hill at 4 in the morning on a freezing November night, with a gear box on the road, I knew the day had come, the Uno was dead... Read review

Advantages: Good engines and economy performance mix. Also space
Disadvantages: Rust and quality on earlier models

...The Uno achieved rave reviews in 1983 on it`s launch for its looks, all round abilities and tremendous engines which had a good mix of reliability, performance and economy. Inside the Uno offered space and outside the Uno offered some style. Having owned around 7 of these cars I can honestly say this is true - I don`t think the cars have dated too badly, particularly the Mk1 version - still quite chic, 20 years from its launch. The mark 2 was less stylish but offered a somewhat improved sense of quality and comfort. The 1.1 engine changed 3 times during the Uno`s career. 1 - the 1116cc engine lifted straight from the Fiat 128. This was a tried and tested unit very similar to the 1.3 version in the 70BHP Uno`s. Initially labelled the Uno 55 or the 55s (5 speed)in 3 or 5 door. 2 - some upgrading and alterations by Fiat engineers sees... Read review

Advantages: Fast delivery, well organised internet shop
Disadvantages: None i have found

...First found this site after buying the Delongi Bar 40 espresso machine, checkout my review. The site is well setup and easy to navigate between pages. It has a page that tells you all about coffee pods to help you understand what a coffee pod is. One problem with coffee pods is which pods works with which machines, cafepods lists most brand coffee machine tells you what adapter you need if required and what size coffee pods you need to use. Even machines that were not originally setup to use coffee pods can be converted with an adapter. I bought an Uno Uno before my Delongi and soon found it impossible to buy coffee pods for this machine, hey presto cafepods had the solution, now a relative is using the Uno Uno with great success. With over 14 blends of coffee it should be easy to find a coffee you will like and to help you... Read review

...was in when after two months of being together he came out with that one!!! Thanks for that!!!! Sorry forgot the question there, and so my boyfriend changed my name to lushlipps...so I decided lush and that was gone, so added the one! 4. How old am I? I'm 28….but getting far too near to being 29 for my liking! 5. Hair Colour? Near enough black, and I have green eyes and am left handed….apparently a sure sign that in the past life I was a witch. God how haven’t I killed myself yet, a walrus and a witch! 6. Tattoos? No, not hugely my thing. 7. My family? Only me, mum dad and an older sister…. 8. My current car? Fiat Punto, and now I am going to loose all respect that I may or may not have….I know you all hate a fiat, but Im a loyal girl. Its my fifth car, and each and every one has been a fiat (four uno’s and now... Read review

..., Marrakech) has a fleet of Petits Taxis, which you may think are the same as mini cabs. Well, to one extent you’d be right, they are ‘mini’, i.e. cars like Peugeot 205s and Fiat Uno’s, and they only take 3 passengers. However, unlike our minicabs, they ARE metered and very cheap. A trip across Agadir in a Peugeot 203½ ** cost us 10 DH, say 66p or 1€. All the Petits Taxis in Agadir were orange, and in Marrakech they were beige. Note: These cabs are only allowed to ply within town limits, which excludes the airport unfortunately. The larger taxis, usually the archetypal Mercedes, are the ‘real’ taxis, are allowed to take you on longer journeys, but agree a price with the driver first. You can even hire them for the day, and they wait outside hotels offering trips to the Sahara (return, I assume). ** Almost a 205, but bits kept falling off... Read review
