Wow, I just bought a Nespresso Magimix machine off eBay - no pods included
:-(
The pods took a while to arrive from the "Nespresso Club" - about 5 days
following the order. They're also pretty expensive at 23 or 24 pence a cup
(about 50 cents) plus a hefty delivery charge.
But, wow, I have never tasted coffee like this before: it is far superior
to
even the best tasting café blends in terms of crema, quality of taste and
freshness. The irony for me is that I only drink decaf - I can't tell the
difference in terms of taste with Nespresso though and I've even managed
to
fool (knowledgeable) visitors in to believing that they were having a full
caffeine hit (by just giving them the drink and not saying a word).
I don't understand why Nestlé is competing with itself by introducing the
Dolce Gusto brand. Nespresso is simply bloody incredible - the most
impressive thing gadget wise and taste wise I have encountered since...
ever. And I'm not even a coffee drinker.
I can't recommend Nespresso enough. Sure you can't be too creative with
blend design but with a quality like this do you really need to be
creative?
Bloody impressive.
