We received a wonderful Nespresso machine for Christmas and since then we only drink Nespresso coffee. It is so much better than regular espresso. The only downside is that you can must buy it in Nespresso shops or you can order it to be delivered. To qualify for free delivery, however, you need to place an order of a minimum of 250 capsules. I tried the compatible capsules you buy from supermarkets but they are not the same thing, so I make regular trips to Barcelona to buy my share of capsules to last me a month or so. They come in tubes of 10 capsules, which seems like a lot of waste in packaging, but coffee is one of my guilty pleasures so I will find a way to use all that cardboard.
For now I have transformed a coffee box into my capsule container with a little imagination, some tissue paper, decoupage paper and glue.
