Nespresso Coffee Party At My House!

Last Friday, I was minding my own business when I saw this note on Chris Garrett’s Facebook:

Chris is wishing he had ordered more Nespresso pods.

That piqued my interest because I had recently used a picture of someone’s display of Nespresso capsules at Eye on DNA although I had no idea what those things were. The wall hanger happened to look like two colorful X chromosomes and I liked that. Definitely a sign.

So I spent the rest of Friday researching and obsessing over Nespresso. By the end of the day, I’d put in an order for a Nespresso D290C Concept Automatic Espresso Maker. It arrived this morning. And exercising great restraint, I only tested one regular cappuccino and one decaffeinated. Marv even went out of his way to get me amaretto syrup for my latte tomorrow morning.

The Nespresso coffee is hot, strong, and smooth. Perfect! Here’s a video demo of the machine I purchased.

Happy 35th birthday to me! (Six weeks early to boot.)

Update: Nespresso is clearly not going to leave any coffee lover high and dry when they run out of coffee capsules. I ordered the one-time offer welcome package yesterday and it was just delivered a mere 24 hours later. Very impressive.

If your comment doesn't show up immediately, it's probably in moderation. I will approve it as soon as I can! Thanks for your patience.

Noodlegirl is a fan, I’m not so much. Nspresso is big in France. I find the coffee a bit tinny. Ristretto being the cloest to a real hit I’ve found using it.

I have one or two every day, but it’s the old classic espresso on the hob that really gets the fires burning and not George Clooney looking all misty eyed over his cuppa.

Don’t be dissin’ George Clooney, man!!

I’ve been drinking instant Sainsbury’s gold label coffee with a once weekly visit to Starbucks for an almond latte. So you see Nespresso is a HUGE upgrade for me!

And, you can’t beat the convenience of these Nespresso machines. Impressive design.
