Return to Coffee

For Christmas I bought Jason this Nespresso Machine.   Since the only coffee maker he has had to use since we have lived in Prague is a French Press I figured it was time to get a real coffee machine.  I wanted to make sure I got him something he wanted so we discussed the options before Christmas.  He decided that he wanted a nespresso machine since it had really good reviews and was simple to use thereby allowing for week day morning coffees.  We made the trip to Dresden to buy the machine since it is significantly cheaper across the border.  Now, I have not been a coffee drinker since before Sofia was born so this really was a gift for Jason's use.  The nespresso coffee smells so good though that I started to have sips and before I knew it I had to admit that I am back on coffee.  My tastes have changed signifcantly though from when I used to drink coffee.  I don't like normal American style coffee (as would be made in a french press or drip coffee maker) but rather now I prefer an espresso or a cappucino.  I am surprised by this since the strong taste of espresso and cappucino was something I really did not like when I did drink coffee.  I find though that even the "lungo" type of coffee for the nespresso machines, which is a full size cup of coffee, still has that strong, creamy thickness of the espresso. In the end a gift to Jason has now become something that I can also greatly enjoy.  So for anyone looking into new coffee machines I highly recommend the Nespresso coffee machines.
