I've had three cups of coffe in my entire life that many years later stand out to me, but I didn't know why... UNTIL my office got this fancy new Nespresso machine and now every day at 4:00 I have a double with raw sugar and some warm half and half. Ooh la la!
I would love to do the same thing at home on the weekends (translation: I would like the CB to make me the same thing at home on the weekends and bring it to me in bed!) but a shot of espresso just ain't enough for this girl who grew up in a super sized society. I don't need a venti of the stuff, but a full cup would be nice.
There is a machine that will make 8 oz of coffee (not espresso) BUT with the crema layer on the top (which is what I've realized is the key ingredient... oooohhhh... *TEXTURE*!!!). In the interest of full disclosure for the nit picky among us (i.e., people like me), this coffee maker does't technically produce a crema later, but it produces micro bubbles that are very similar. Close enough for government work!
This machine has apparently been discontinued for US distribution but you can still get it, however it's pricy. I'm my mind it's worth it, but if anyone has experience with the particular machine or has an alternative I'm open to ideas!
Regarding the pod aspect, I *could* get one of those refillable thingys, grind coffee, etc... but let's be honest: I won't. I'll buy the pods. Just a fact.
Feedback if you would please!
