    They cover the burnt flavour with a quart of sugar, syrups, and creams so you don’t even taste the coffee- Oh, wait second…

    No, at $4500 a cup, I’m sure it’s the best.

      It’s actually kinda the other way around. My uncle lived in Seattle for years, and he told me he ran into some Starbucks executive once. He asked about the burnt coffee, and they told him it was intentional so you could still taste “coffee” through all the sugar, syrups, and creams.

        pods

        Come on, have some self-respect. Literally just pouring hot water into a cup with some coffee, then pouring off the coffee 5 minutes later makes better coffee than that.

        I have a dreading feeling that Nespresso is owned by Nestle, along with contributing to the single-use waste that is needlessly polluting
