..... Having checked out pods at HN and Joyce Mayne today I think I'll avoid that, they don't look too simple or cheap to me. Milk isn't the issue, a long black with a dash of cold milk will be fine.
I dont know what you saw today,..but i would challenge you to find any coffee making process that is quicker, simpler or cleaner than a Nespresso ! dont get me wrong, i detest them , the ethics of the business, and the principle of pod pricing, and i wont drink it un less there is no option.....but for simple convenience there is no competition. I would think the main negative for pods is the price, but that is changing rapidly now that the patents have expired and supermarkets are stocking alternative pods. Being realistic, do you honestly think your inlaws will want to go with a bean/grinder based system ?? That certainly doesnt sound like a quick, clean or simple option. But, If yes, then ok, keep looking at alternatives.
