Wife and I are coffee snobs, but it is perfect when we are lazy and don't want to grind beans and do a pour over. Now with young kids, it is a must. I don't have time to do a pour over when my kids are getting into my shit! Plus if you have a dinner party, you can start cranking out Americano's fast.

I have two Vertuo Line machines. A Delonghi Flat Top and a Pop+. I have quite the collection of pods. Some that have been discontinued, some that are seasonal, and some that are favourites. I love the Maple Pecan and Sunny Almond Delight. Decaf pods are, meh, but drink it in the evening (cut out the caffeine).

I love collecting pods from around the world. Some pods are just downright sexy (I like shiny metallic colours). My favourite is the Ristretto Classico with its black with shiny silver streaks (on-line only). The coffee itself is not bad. https://www.nespresso.com/ca/en/orde...offee-capsules

My favourite combination is Maple Pecan over ice (ice cubes made with coffee). I add Kirkland Organic Maple Syrup to it, along with evaporated milk.

Sometimes I use crushed ice and shake the coffee with this......

But all that takes time. The whole idea of the Nespresso system is to have coffee done in less than a minute or two. No mess, no fuss, done.

I am now contemplating getting an Original Line machine. Totally different process of brewing from Vertuo Line. Will wait till Black Friday before I decide weather to dive into that part of the Nespresso world. More pod choices along with third party options has my interest piqued.
