Anyone here Enjoy the benifits of Nesspresso?

[neilyasno]

So being that everyone here is so friendly regarding razors, I figure everyone's just as nice about coffee!
I have always had a nesspresso machine at home and love it. Sure its a hassle to order those capsules from only them, but the coffee inside of them is fantastic and they always treat us well in the stores.
My parents had an old Nesspresso machine for about 15 years. One day my dad just decided to upgrade and got a newer model. One summer, I had a basketball tournament up in Hershey Park. My mother decided that she doesn't want watery Best Western coffee and actually brought the old machine with us! It was so funny.

Just curious to see if there are any loves/haters out here and if anyone has some better suggestions. A little birdy told me that there are some roasters that use this board If so I'd sure love to hear about them. (I will use a French Press on occasion )

If held at gun point, I'll have a few sips.

Otherwise I prefer real espresso.

By the way, I own a Citi Z that I have in my office. It's better than what the teaboy can make.

I don't have to be held at gunpoint. There just have to be no better options within 20 miles or so.

That said, coffee's as subjective as any other topic here. If you enjoy what's in the cup that's all that matters whether you're using a $2K espresso machine paired with a suitable grinder, a Nespresso or other single serve machine or even if you're drinking convenience store coffee that's been on the burner all day or any of the other countless coffee options out there.

Agreed.

But after you drink this

It becomes very hard to drink this:

I had a Nespresso in my old studio. I loved it. Quick caffeine, good taste, no need for sugar! I quickly get addicted to anything with variety anyway, so I quickly tested myself through all flavours except the decafs. On the downside, the capsules are expensive and not environment friendly. However, the convenience has me thinking about a new one for my new studio...
