Coffee With George - Quoi d'autre

I first heard about the Nespresso  when Melissa once mentioned how much she loved her Nespresso machine.  I've wanted one ever since. A couple of weeks ago I started thinking seriously about purchasing one.  I started to do a little research on the web, then I saw an advert  with George and decided that was the machine  I wanted. 

Two weeks ago, there they were - at the Auckland Food Show . I sampled a coffee, chatted with the salesman, rang Bryan for his opinion, took Marina  over to get her opinion and finally came home with one.  It probably wouldn't suit the super serious coffee drinker who likes to grind there own beans,  but I'm more than happy.  I just turn it on, pop the capsule in and press start. No measuring or grinding beans....and it looks so cool sitting on my bench without taking up too much space. They have smaller ones for really tiny kitchens. It comes with a little jug that plugs in and heats the milk for either a flat white or cappuccino .  The jug only heats enough milk for one so when there is more than just me for coffee I heat the  milk  in  a saucepan on the  stove.

This is a great example of the power of blogging -  I read about the Nespresso on a blog written by an American living in Paris and yet the Nespresso has been available in New Zealand for 12 months. I didn't know about the What Else add until I saw it on  Youtube .  And here I am giving them even more free publicity.  Seriously though, I love my Nespresso.
