Nespresso
DC
Because I married the greatest guy in the world, he
understands my need for coffee. So for my birthday, he
upgraded my Nespresso C190 to a fire-engine red D290
Concept machine. And I am in love. With the machine and my
husband.
Nespresso machines use proprietary capsules (pods), which
means you can make espresso drinks in moments, without the
mess and effort involved in grinding and tamping beans. And
the most shocking part of these nontraditional coffee
makers is that you're not sacrificing quality for a cleaner
kitchen. In fact, loyal Nespresso drinkers wind up
preferring their brew to more complex solutions.
Ever since our first Nespresso machine joined the family,
about four years ago, my Starbucks jaunts have been limited
to airports in foreign countries. For 55 cents a cup, I can
make my own cappuccinos, lattes, and even caramel
macchiatos right in my own home. It's my 5-minute morning
ritual at this point, and it can be yours, too.
The D290 features a 19-bar high-pressure pump, one button
operation, and super-easy clean up. And you don't even have
to take my word for it -- reviews for this particular
machine are great at Amazon http://atu.ca/4b35 And if that
crazy high price has you shaking your head at my
foolishness, do yourself a favor and check out Nespresso's
own refurbished outlet at eBay http://atu.ca/NespressoD290
That's where mine came from, at half the retail price.
