World's best coffee, 10 April 2005
This is the ultimate coffee machine. It's the coolest looking machine on the market, and the best value. Don't bother with the more expensive automatic machines (Jim :-)) - this does everything, the coffee tastes the same, and with this model, you have full control over exactly how much coffee you want.From a marketing point of view, the Nespresso brand is masterful. Their packaging is superb, their literature does its best to make you feel like Royalty - go with it, because the coffee is magnificent. You'll also be surprised by the range of things you can do with the machine, too. My favourite is a Latte Machiato, which is a long glass filled with fabulous cappucino froth, into which you add an espresso. The result is a layer of solid milk, a layer of coffee, and a layer of froth - it looks cool and tastes great. Costs? If you drank the same amount of coffee, I think it would be as cheap as stove-top or filter, as capsules cost 21p each, or 24p for the Lungo coffees (my friends and I however, think the espresso coffees, especially the stronger ones, taste better in the lungo cups than the lungo coffees, so save yourself the money!). I'm also drinking more decaffeinated coffee now as the decaf. intenso on offer tastes as good as any caffeinated brand. Also, you'll drink less coffee out, as nothing I've experienced, except for the coffee houses of Buenos Aires, match what you can now make in your own kitchen. However, the coffee is that good, and so easy to make that you will find your consumption rocketing! Additionally, there are so many beautiful accessories to buy, this might further dent your budget - beautiful cups, top quality chocolates, a presentation box (it makes offering a coffee like a box of choccies). So, if you are somebody who loves kitchen gadgets, likes some of the better things in life, and doesn't mind a big dose of pretention when offering friends and neighbours a cup of coffee, this is something you should save up for.
