Drinking coffee is easily one of the most enjoyable activities throughout the day. This trend became so widespread that the world’s need for a coffee cannot be calculated precisely. One of the most iconic scenes in the history of tv is related to coffee. This was in an iconic tv show from the early nineties, Twin Peaks, where Dale Cooper, the protagonist, enjoys every cup of coffee and says some memorable lines. There are a lot of people in the world that started enjoying coffee much more after witnessing some of these scenes. Nowadays, we have the pleasure of enjoying espresso instead of just a classic cup of black joe.
Having an Espresso machine at home was a luxury not so long ago. Today, many people have a privilege to drink cups of some of the best espressos from the comfort of their homes. You, our readers, are probably aware of how good it is to have a good cup of coffee in the early morning. Since the late eighties, we have the privilege of enjoying Nespresso’s products. This is a part of the Nestle company that specializes in the machine brew espresso and coffee capsules.
Today, we are going to talk about Nespresso machines, Naturally, it is inevitable to avoid talking about the capsules as well. According to John Beans, a coffee expert, the best choice for you would be to use Nespresso compatible capsules for every machine made by the company. You can take a look at some of them on MyFriendsCoffee.com. Let us see what we have prepared for you.
