So...after working for a company based in Switzerland and traveling back and forth for a number of years...my coffee tastes changed considerably. I used to be absolutley fine with Folgers and a Mr. Coffee, but Switzerland turned me into a genuine coffee snob. What's worse is I then infected my DW with the same snobishness.
We played with a Kurig we received as a gift. Decent coffee...
We Frence Pressed our way into better coffee...
But the dream was finally realized yeterday when, low and behold while out walking our dog, I happened to stop at a yard sale.
Sitting off to one side...a Nespresso machine. Perfect condition.
The price tag..$20.
I think a little squeel may have escaped my lips. My wife and dog looked at me like I as if I suddenly started singing songs from "Glee." Actually, I may have unconsiously been singing "You're the One That I Want" as I paid for my prize.
Made my first cup this morning and all I can say is...."You silly Americans with your silly weak coffee...You know nothing!"
Today is a good day for this frugal coffee snob!!! (Yes..I know the pods are expensive but....I can stop anytime! I can handle it! I CAN STOP ANYTIME!!)
