Our Nespresso was our first
wedding gift from Matt's Aunt Beatrice and Uncle Jan. Beatrice is from
Switzerland, so it was appropriate that her gift was a product of the homeland. If
you are getting married or having a baby, I urge you to add this to your
registry. If a baby doesn't justify a double or triple espresso, I do
not know what does. Register for the capsules too because they're
$1/pod. Sounds expensive, but it's cheaper than an americano
anywhere
else. Capsules come in a wide variety and have numerical ratings based on how much caffeine they're packing. Twelve being the most potent.
Varieties have colorful descriptions that did not help me much like "woody, spicy, & intense" or "malted cereal notes." Now that I'm a Nespresso afficionado, I totally understand these sophisticated descriptors. Not! I choose mine based on my level of fatigue and proceed to love every sip of that woody, spicy, fruity, cerealy goodness. That little cylinder behind the dispenser is a milk frother. A
truly magical utility if you're a passionate hot beverage drinker. At
Christmastime I froth eggnog for my hot cocoa. Oh my decadence. You
don't like eggnog? Your loss...of superfluous caloric deliciousness. I
won't pressure you to get hooked because you're probably better off
without it. But you know what you are not better off without?
Nespresso!
