If you are rich enough to afford a doorman you are rich enough to afford a real espresso machine and a grinder.

I can't believe you said "spill the tea" instead of "spill the beans" for that opening joke. Good video as always btw

Can’t believe you used James Hoffman as an example of people jumping on the “Nespresso pod hype train”. He absolutely abhors pod coffee

I worked at a hotel that had these machines in the lobby , the suites and breakfast area, so yeah lots and lots of nespresso pods 😑 We were always super happy to see the delivery guy deliver more boxes of coffee pods because we could also give him the bags of used pods in return for recycling! I can verify that these bags really get super stinky and messy 🤢 So we always stored them in an unused tool closet in the hotel garage. So gross. Collegues would get really upset if the person receiving the coffee pod delivery forgot to give the bags in return 😂

It baffles me how Nestle still has some how such a positive brand reception despite the atrocious actions. They are one of the few brands that I have on a no buy list.

Don't get the wrong idea about James Hoffman at 10:45. He does not support Nestle or single use pods, he was doing the video in part to show everyone how substandard they were, and took every opportunity to complain about the sustainability concerns

@quailwithnoname 4 years ago

Honestly a more sustainable but still "fancy" feeling way to make your coffee is a French press. No filters, no plastic, etc. I've saved so much money (and coffee grounds as I can make a single cup and not a whole pot) using my French press.

Whenever Nestle promise something, you know it won't make any positive impact 🤣

You did James Hoffmann dirty there

You make a lot of coffee related videos for someone who doesn't drink coffee

There has to be an insentive to recycle beyond the environmental aspect. In Norway we pay an extra 50 cents or whatever for soda bottles, we get that back when we shove it into a recycling machine (they're in every shop basically). So when you have like four shopping bags full of empty bottles you go down there and cash in, you get just over 10 dollars back. It's a good deal and encourages recycling greatly, you have like homeless people or whatever searching bins for bottles, you have kids doing the same for some extra cash. There's actual value in an empty plastic bottle. Same thing could be done for coffee pods.

I found that switching from regular pre-ground drip coffee to a machine that grinds beans makes a huge difference in taste and aroma. And when you live in a place like Finland, where it's pretty normal to have coffee about 5 times a day, single-cup pods just sound terrifying.

This Video summarizes perfectly why we went out to by a traditional Italian espresso machine, the one which brings the most mileage with roughly 20 to 30 years of use if handled correctly.

@quacktac 3 years ago

So the pods are recyclable but consumers aren't recycling them?
What more would you want Nespresso to do exactly?

@figurinechamp 3 years ago

I do a lot of shift work, and love the convenience of my Nespresso machine.

@Uratz 4 years ago

I used to be a Nespresso fan until I learned how to use a barista espresso machine and buying very affordable coffee beans and grinding them myself. My love for coffee grew in knowledge in how to make coffee shop quality espressos at home. I saved a lot money and became a very artsy fellow.

@TrekGirl2010 4 years ago

As someone who works in grocery retail it is very shocking to see how few companies produce all the products we consume.

@hemanshudas3468 4 years ago

I guess the placement of Hoffman’s video snapshot (10:48) is ill-researched. He is one of the biggest critiques of Nespresso because of sustainability concerns but also the company’s imperialistic behavior upon coffee growers. That video goes on to say he hates each of those pods based on the taste as well.

@irssux 4 years ago

I use a French press for dayly coffee but I bought a Nespresso specifically for making quick creamy espresso, which it does quite nicely. Thanks for the video as it was very informative.
