Millsy I dunno Millsy. I really don’t. That’s certainly what I told myself for a while, having spent a fair bit trying various bean-to-cup and espresso machine + grindr combos. But the more nespresso machines I used in holiday rentals and hotels, the more I started to realise the only person I was fooling was myself.
now look, don’t get me wrong: I’m not saying my nespresso machine tastes as good as Dutchy’s rig. I’m confident it doesn’t. But here’s the key thing: I bet the difference is pretty fucking slim.
the truth is in my perfect coffee drinking world i’d be knocking out my daily workday shot from a good nespresso machine, using a French press for a perhaps communal outdoor setting where you just want a lot of coffee on hand made in one go, and maybe pulling the fancy kit out of the cupboard a few times a month for something more special. Or failing that, going to Costa or Cafe Nero. But definitely never pouring boiling water over instant, unless you’re at your nans.
