I really enjoy their espresso (the ones in the purple and blue pods); the other coffees vary in tastiness, but are generally too acidic for me to comfortably drink.
the problem with nespesso is that they put Nestle right in the name
I mean, I'm not conscious enough to actually avoid nestle products, but when you put it out in the open there I'm all 'eeeeeeh'
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

people get mad at Keurig, but that shit is the best when you want a cup of coffee in less than a minute and with the right k cups it is totally passable.
Sure a french press or a pourover, or cold brew will produce a better cup, but sometimes you dont have time for that shit.
keurig makes the worst, most environmentally unsustainable, in the shorest amount of time
and pourover takes maybe 5 minutes
i can't abide an argument that there is any occasion in your life in which it depends upon receiving coffee in 30 seconds vs 5 minutes
30 sec with no cleanup whatsoever > 5min when you go to bed at midnight from a day of hard work and wake up at 5:15am to catch the 6:00 train.

I could post my opinions on coffee, but I'm only posting doggos to the doggos chat. Them's the breaks, sorry.
jokes on you, this is the internet
hey everyone look at my cool new dogs!

i have a nespresso machine but no pods because i just use a french press instead and the pods are expensive
They are $1.10/pod if you order in bulk. It's expensive compared to other methods but less expensive than a coffeeshop, so I'm fine with that.
i thought about picking up some pods before i had guests over since using a machine is very fast and convenient but then i didn't

French press cleanup is pretty simple, yeah. But having a machine that I can load my black coffee into, my wife can do her flavored coffee, and either of us could later use for teas, cocoa, or cider... It's pretty great.
That said, all of those are inferior products to making them the proper way. But depending upon the k-cup some are close enough to where the price and convenience outstrip the decline in quality. Especially if, like me, you don't live somewhere where whole bean coffee is convenient (I usually have to order online or drive 45 minutes to the closest shop that carries more than vacuum pack over-burned crap).

That's my opinion on coffee.
Keurig, re-usable cup, whatever delicious beans you like. As the only coffee drinker in my house, this is the perfect solution.
Got an email from the Bush school that they are reviewing my admissions packet. After looking through their program a couple of weeks ago they edged to the top of my desired graduate programs. Specifically the Master of International Affairs.

there's this great thing called multitasking, which might get you home from work before midnight and help you make coffee
you could, for example, boil the water on your way to the bathroom first thing and then pour over the grounds as you hop into the shower
or maybe you, specifically you, who gave me no end of shit for my opinions on toasted bagels could self reflect and realize that people like and value different things

yeah it's actually a peaceful ritual when you get used to it that I find helps give the chemical boost from the coffee a psychological boost to amplify it
basically, for me, anytime I've make things harder for myself it's better in the long run
music software is so much more immediate and accessible, but it's far too easy to mail it in and with hardware I am more present. I like shaving with a safety razor because it forces me to take 15 minutes and ends up being sort of meditative. I always try to make my own stock because the prep is another mindful period and it just smells fucking delicious (and I save scraps going "oh I'll throw this in stock later)
I have used all these methods, in addition to Keurig and just manually eating coffee, and I can say that they are all superior to one another.
(tbf I do this myself... I usually eat a bean or two when I open a new bag. Good to see how it tastes!)

Also, I am a bit razor's edge because it isn't a multitasking problem; it is just a shitload of work that has stormed my life that I am doing real good with at the expense of literally everything else in my life including my health and well-being.

What about drinking coffee surrounded by dogs? That sounds very cozy.

we were wondering about one called 'sweet heat' and the waitress heard us and said it was real gross and she'd let us try it if we wanted
so she brought an iced tea with sweet heat in it and I paid my coworker $2 to drink the whole thing and now his stomach hurts
and I am very pleased

i drink exactly 1 cup of coffee each morning
i pop a pod in, hit a button, walk away, and come back to coffee
it's a miracle of modern living
do you hate the internet, too?
what the hell is going on here
was the first part of that real?
