    I have been thinking of a purchasing a Nespresso machine, but I am afraid I won't be happy with it. I currently have an espresso machine, but I only have the time on the weekends to make myself a cappuccino.

    Bought a pair of iBeats by Dr. Dre - Rather nice.
    And I also bought myself a nice pair of Oakley Jawbones.

    cheers,

    I really like Nespresso machines this is my second (my other sits in the office). The espresso is quite good and fast. Only complaint i have is that it's not pipping hot, it's hot but not hot enough where you let it sit for a few minutes then drink it. That seems to be the case with all single brew machines though it seems. If you enjoy espresso but do not have the time to fiddle with it during the week they offer a nice alternative. The latissima+ takes it to the next level with the ability to do cappuccino and lattes

    I just ordered the Latissima +. I had it sent overnight from Amazon. I am excited to give it a try Saturday morning.

    Let me know your thoughts I really like the latte in the evening. Suggest the sampler pack of coffees from the nespresso club

    Had the day off today so did some damage. Bought the aunt a Bergdorf Goodman Christmas ornament (she coveted them last year and couldn't bring herself to buy one), bought myself a pair of casual wingtips, ordered 8 new dress shirts from Zegna, and acquired Tom Ford's azure lime fragrance for my first fragrance purchase in about 4 years.

    I bought the same one almost a year ago and put it in my office for my staff to enjoy, they were complaining about the Nespresso machine which i bought in 2009 because they dislike that coffee. I employ mostly Europeans in my office and in the morning they're addicts of pure arabica coffee "Fort & Corsé " like we say in French so far they're very happy with the Latissima + because in the afternoon they switch to latte cups, I bought a Philips Saeco Xelsis earlier this year for home use, a bit pricey but works wonderfully, i suggest you have a look at that range

    Here's mine

    One has got to really covet coffee to get up to that price point...for the few glasses I drink at home during the week, I can't justify those kind of funds lol.
