Nespresso Machine :)

Hi peeps!!

Just came back from (gloomy & rainy!!) London...and Guess what!! Moi just bought for myself a Nespresso machine!! And it was such an impulsive buy!!

I mean i had heard so many of my colleagues buying Nespresso machines from London (cos it's much cheaper!!) and i knew i always wanted a coffee machine as well. COS I"M A COFFEE ADDICT!!! So when moi went down to Oxford St with the intention of going to Primark, i happened to pass by Selfridges and decided to just pop in to check out their Nespresso machines.

I have to say, the sales lady was really fantastic in her sale pitch. The way she was explaining about their coffee machines, the different varieties of coffee they have, their big clientele..
Moi was completely and utterly SOLD!!

And that was why, moments later, moi found myself lugging this big gigantic massive shopping bag back to my hotel. And telling myself over and over in my mind "It's worth the effort!! i love coffee!! It's worth the effort!! i love coffee!!"

Photobucket

And when i say...big gigantic massive shopping bag..i really mean big gigantic massive shopping bag!! It's almost as big as my cargo bag!!

Photobucket

moi realized that it's pretty difficult to carry such a big & heavy shopping bag all by oneself. Seriously, if you ever wanna attempt the same feat, please bring a friend (a strong one too) along :)
TWICE!!! Moi was stuck in the tube gantry!! It was super embarrassing.
Are all the gentleman in London dead?!?!?!


Tata!! The Espresso machine that could make an espresso, a cappuccino, and a latte!! Really simple to use, with just a touch of a button!! Imagine making your own latte in just 40seconds flat!! It's really that fast and simple!!
Photobucket

I Love the Lattissima RED so much!! It comes in Chrome (more expensive), Red, Off white and Black. It's 249pounds (S$560) except for the chrome one that's slightly more expensive at 299pounds.

The interesting thing was: Moi realize they don't carry this particular model here in Singapore! The Nespresso Singapore only carry like just 6 models here. This particular model, krups that moi saw in London for 126pounds (S$290) was retailing here in Singapore for S$520!! *faint*

btw, saw the Lattissima selling in Nespresso Sweden for 4999SEK :)

Instead of using ground coffee from the packet, the coffee comes in lil pods which are really simple to use. Just pop them in and there you have it, an espresso in just 30second!!

Photobucket

Moi bought a couple of the different coffee blends to try. Each tube contains 10 lil pods and cost 2.50pounds or 25p each. So it works out to about S$0.60 each. Which is not that bad.

However, i went to check out the Singapore website and gosh!!they are selling them each tube for S$10 or S$1 each. Guess i've have to stock them up when i fly to London :(
Photobucket

My RED Lattissima seating perfectly in our kitchenPhotobucket
Thorntons!!! My favourite chocolate from London!! Thank god moi bought them before buying the Nespresso machine..BIG PHEW~
Photobucket

Thanks to Elizabeth, moi is now super addicted to Houmous. Dipped it with bread and they are so super delicious!!
I sure hope they're not too fattening!!
Photobucket

SO here's the thing if you wanna get a Nespresso machine:
Pros:
1. Fast and simple to use
2. guarantee fresh coffee every time because it comes sealed in lil pods
3. latte in just a touch of a button

Cons:
1. you can't use your own ground coffee
2. the lil pods are definitely more expensive as compare to buying your own packet of ground coffee
3. the pods uses aluminum so in terms of environmental friendliness: Basically ZERO!

I guess i should have done more research instead of just buying it impulsively :(
I mean it's a great machine!! I really love it!! But the thought of having to solely use their coffee pods just kinda leave me with a bad "coffee" taste. Pun intended.

"Imagine making your own latte in just 40seconds flat!! It's really that fast and simple!!"

Jasmine conveniently forgot to mention the 10 minutes of; A) setting it up (filling in water, pouring milk in the container), B) letting it heat up (2 mins), and C) pouring out the water, wiping it down, cleaning the milk container and steam-clean the pipes.

So .. 40 seconds ++++++++++++ ;)

But, it IS very nice looking. But a bit overkill for a cup, just nice if there are friends over and you make a few.

Dental hygiene is vasty critical to complete health. Most people do not assume of their oral hygiene as a part of their wellbeing, but several health associated issues stem from infections inside the mouth. See your dentist twice a year and prevent any unecessary health issues that could have been avoided if you did your 2 yearly check ups.

There are many types of greetings that are cast-off in special situations, depending on the rank of intimacy between the people, habits of epoch, or the circumstances of the meeting.

I would like you to precisely phrase: "Hi, you are most acceptable".
