I have had my Nespresso coffee maker for over 2 years and I love it.It’s how I wake up in the morning.Literally.

There are some coffee makers that are more bougie than the one I have(the MoccaMaster comes right to mind.However.I like the fact that the Nespresso is all ready to go and measured out for me.I don’t trust myself not to be able to measure out the coffee correctly .Don’t want the coffee to be too strong or too weak,I take my coffee seriously!

I just ordered a bunch of coffee from Nespresso and I ordered a sleeve of the Vanilla Custard Pie.So here’s the thing about that: it’s half caff but you wouldn’t know it. Interestingly, when you watch videos about the best Nespresso capsules, it consistently is mentioned as a favourite.

Conversely I hear mixed reviews on the other flavoured coffee..though it must be said that this time of year people are getting excited about the Pumpkin Spice.I’d probably only take Pumpkin Spice if it was offered as a sample with another fall flavour. Another thing:At Christmas they have coffee advent calendars with different types of coffee in them and they may have a couple different versions.One downside is that they have at least one(maybe more) decaf capsules. OTOH it might be nice to have decaf capsules when my parents come over. They had a decaf espresso that my parents were amazed was decaf -it was VERY strong for decaf!

My mom pointed out that it’s paid for itself several times over..the initial investment, along with a bunch of capsules, means that I don’t have to go to a local coffee shop and spend too much on coffee!

Yeah..I love my Nespresso. Yes, I know that they are still doing buisness in Russia.If I tried to boycott every company/ thing that is still in Russia I would pretty much only have to buy store brands.Not a huge deal but there are certain things you can’t get in store brand form.

LOVE the fact that you can order coffee easily and have it sent to your house.Is it expensive?Yeah. Here’s the thing though:It’s offset by free shipping if you order more than $35 worth of coffee(which is not hard to do).For now.I’m good.Gonna be a while before I buy more coffee.

One of the things I enjoy is the variety of coffee-I try to change things up every day so that I don’t get bored(though I doubt *that* is going to happen soon.) Precisely the reason that they give you a sampler pack of coffee when you buy a Nespresso coffee maker.

(Side bar:If you buy your Nespresso from a Nespresso boutique and tell them what kind of coffee you like(dark roast, light roast, flavoured coffee) they can point you to which kinds of coffee you might like.A big reason why going to a boutique is a good idea although they’re not everywhere.San Diego has two, one is at UTC and the other is inside of a department store at Fashion Valley(another local mall)

Also worth doing-and I mentioned this before-as you try the samples, write them down and note the ones that you like. That’s been tremendously instructional. I definitely have favourites that I will be buying again.
