I love my Nespresso. Even the hardware is thoughtful and durable - same machine for the last 4-5 years.
Something I was surprised to learn is that many high-end (read: Michelin recommended or higher) use Nespresso. The reason? Absolute consistency. When they need espresso for a dish, or dessert, or even to serve (espresso/cappuccino) they know that it's the same result, every time. [1]

The Nessie Press pod recycler (https://www.nessiepress.com/ https://www.nessiepress.com/) and Recaps stainless refillable pods (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XG2N6LT/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XG2N6LT/) are two that come to mind.
- cosmolev 8y agoI use Nespresso at home. But I also like that in different bars/cafes coffee is different.
- woodpanel 8y agoIt's a great product indeed. Although I like to point out, that when drinking Espresso out of home I'm with what the layman's bible of modern haute cuisine (modernist cuisine) promotes: that it's exactly the variance of Espressos "out in the wild" that can give you superb once in a lifetime taste experiences.
- crushcrashcrush 8y agoI appreciate that perspective. Agreed, everything has become a commodity and it's the small variances that make life!
