Anyone have one? Thinking about getting one for the office and then possibly home if they are worth it

I use the Nespresso every day. I love it.

I don't like coffee.

I have a Nespresso at home and at the office. They're super convenient. The one at home is a couple years old and on its last legs. I'm bringing the office one home to replace it.

They work well, the cups cost about .40-50 each.

Pro tip: Starbucks will sell you liter sized bottles of their flavors if you ask.

The number one negative: They sound like a car that doesn't have any brake pads left. Really loud.

Espresso (/ɛˈsprɛsoʊ/, Italian: [esˈprɛsso]) is coffee of Italian origin

How do you drink it? Mix it with anything? You buy the pods in bulk?

I have the Vertuoline which is more expensive, but far less than going to a coffee shop. It is their newest version so they don't have pods from other companies. You can buy the pods on Amazon but they end up about $1 per shot.

I'll normally drink on straight when I wake up and then make a latte with it a few hours later. I make a mocha but that requires a milk frother which they also sell as a standalone product that was bundled with it.

If you are going to drink it straight, get the little girly looking espresso cups. It does make a difference.

Espresso is not coffee just like tomato paste is not pasta sauce.
