I had a higher end Nespresso. The killer was how little espresso it makes. I don't consider myself a heavy coffee drinker because I only drink one cup in the morning. However it took 4 Nespresso pods (black ones) to get a decent amount of caffeine and not get headaches. And I usually order single shots when I go out.
- Ellipsis753 11y agoYou can adjust the amount made from a single pod. You can actually make a full mug from a single pod and it still tastes great (and not watery).
- true_religion 11y agoWell more water in the cup isn't the issue. It's that there's not enough caffine in each pod. I tend to agree. I only get two shots of expresso and I'm usually fine with that, but with Nessprso's machine I couldn't get enough caffeine unless I put 4 shots in it.
- maudineormsby 11y agoFWIW, you can calibrate it to produce over 2x the amount on a 'shot'.
- Sami_Lehtinen 11y agoAren't hackers prone to optimization? If getting caffeine is the goal, why to mess with coffee at all? You can easily get pure caffeine and enjoy it. It also doesn't color your teeth. Same question applies beer (or other fattening drinks with way too much sugar) versus just alcohol.
