Allow me to let some pictures paint my 1,000 words.
This is SO me rolling out of bed to stumble down the hallway, into the kitchen before grabbing the counter top and pushing the button on the coffee maker. The counter top has never failed me like it did this woman.
My husband used to get up between 4 and 5 a.m. so by the time I got up at 7-ish he was raring to go and would greet me like it was 1pm like a tidal wave and then…
We’re not together any longer. Maybe because it took him unusually long to learn this poem…maybe because when I recited it, I was not nearly as cheerful.
In any event here, science–or at least this very scientific drawing–proves where awesomeness comes from…
or bloggers, or men, or women, or moms or dads…
And if YOU want to be awesome too, well, try some COFFEE!
ME?
And THAT’S why I’m SERIOUS about this thang!
A client actually GAVE this to my husband. Like I said, we aren’t together any longer and so far, I got to keep this coffee machine. So, I guess that makes ME awesome. (See scientific drawing above.) Although, I am very grateful for all the times he brought me coffee in bed after learning that poem. NO k-cups! Just straight coffee beans in one bin and water in the other. Would I have spent THIS much on a coffee maker? Honestly, I didn’t know what I didn’t know. I didn’t know that I could get Starbucks taste right off my kitchen counter with the push of a button. I don’t even put designer coffee beans in this and it comes out so perfect! I have SAVED a lot of money by avoiding coffee shops, to be honest.
I watched the videos that it came with more than once. The coffee strength can be adjusted by turning a dial. Also, the ounces per cup. So, one could dial down the ounces and up the strength or vice-a-versa depending on one’s…er’h’m…personal character traits.
The client who gave it to us was downsizing to this Nepresso.
It ONLY makes espresso, which is FINE BY ME! To prevent just slurping it down, I turn it into a cafe americano just by adding some hot water. I loved the bold taste of this machine also when we visited her place. It takes k-cups though. Which take up storage in cabinets. They looked elegant and this is what she keeps at her vacation place in Tahoe.
For everyday, I need a bigger cup. So, I really do prefer the Jura. I especially like that I can get any kind of coffee beans. I don’t have to worry about k-cups nor the plastic waste. On the weekends I make cappuccino and, again, it does not disappoint. It’s super easy. Just fill that thermos thing, and-again-press ONE button. It grinds and mixes the coffee, syphens and steams the milk all on it’s own!
It does take up a bit of space on the counter top, but coffee takes up a bit of space in my life. Someone else might want to go with one of their smaller machines. Read the specs and check out the counter space that you have, it’s definitely a ‘featured item’ in any kitchen.
Just so you know, for routine maintenance, the filter needs to be changed periodically. And it needs to be cleaned with these tablets. There’s a message on the machine when it’s time to do that. It can be bypassed when I’m out so I can still have my coffee on demand.
If you aren’t traveling around with a Yeti yet…you are also missing out on an amazing product that REALLY-also-does it’s job above and beyond. But THAT’s a whole other post.
I work in Thorntons, and I think you will find the cappuccino from the continental range is actually one of the
most popular that we sell. Never before have I heard anyone complain about the strength of the coffee filling.
Being a coffee hater myself, I was plesantly surprised at the taste.
I believe the filling to be creamy in texture and don’t think believe it to be
overpowering.
Like!! Great article post.Really thank you! Really Cool.
If you want me to ever do something for you, just catch me while I’m caffeinated!
Right?! Although by 8:30 am in the summers and 6:30 am during the school year, one can generally catch me caffeinated!
Interesting! I’m not a coffee drinker, but good info.
Thanks!
I love your coffee memes 😂 I can totally relate!
Thank you….I went out on a limb on that one just being ME! Amazon is having a sale July 15th. I don’t know if Jura will have anything included but it would be WONDERFUL if you would link to Amazon via my blog so that I get a kick back on anything you purchase. Thanks AGAIN and coffee on!….
Haha! I think we are soul sisters!! LOL! I talk in memes and can’t live with out my coffee either! Haven’t tried either of these machines but I use a coffee maker with a self grinder too and I LOVE IT!! Ohhh my gosh, the smell in the morning is amazing! Thanks for the post! Cheers!
awwwww, Thank YOU! Well, try one of Jura’s other machines. I just linked to the one that I have. Fewer steps because you load ONE tank full of beans which last for about a dozen mugs. Amazon’s “Prime Day” is coming up on July 15th, maybe Jura will have something on sale. I would REALLY appreciate if you linked through my blog so that I get the kickback.
I love all the meme’s. So cute!
Thank you…I took my chances on ME being ME…so I appreciate your acceptance! lol
Love the GIF’s, that’s pretty much how I feel about mornings as a whole! Coffee or not!
RIGHT?! thanks, I went out on a limb on this one. Check out what Jura & Nepresso have to offer….especially on July 15-16 for Amazon’s “Prime Day”
I can tell your very serious about your coffee, ha, ha! Great post!
I’m serious about a few things…but usually AFTER coffee. Just today, for example, I was serious about making it to the dentist on time…and rolled out of bed w/15 min. to fluff, bush, throw something on but NOT kill someone with morning PLUS coffee breath. I should have taken a selfie. When the hygenist wanted me to open wide, I thought…how about I just START a yawn, and keep it going for the next 20 min.?!?! Not even SHE would say that coffee causes plaque build up….so…it was coffee for breakfast as soon as I got home.
I love Nespresso coffee. I can remember the first time I had it at my sister’s house it was like the angels sang from heaven above! I bought myself one as soon as I returned home!
I would have too if this one woman had not provided us with BOTH experiences!
I love this! I homeschool my children so it takes a couple cups of coffee to keep me going. Lol I need the coffee cup that says, “Goals today: Keep Tiny Humans Alive.”😂🤣
That’s a good one! I would like a two sided T-shirt that says “Give me coffee if you really want me to listen” on the front and “Text me when you’re done on your cell phone.” on the back. My biggest pet peeves…laying it on me heavy w/o enough coffee, and answering cell phone or texting while you’re with ME.
I don’t think I would make it through my day without coffee…and sometimes I even need it to go to sleep! LOL
ha! the nepresso would be perfect for a sleeptime espresso… You’re funny!
Love the post and the design of your site.
Thank you!
You and I are the same….kindred spirits!
haha…I always know when you’ve been around b/c like me, you usually leave a 1/2 drunk coffee cup behind. And THAT’S another reason why coffee cups are a perfectly good teacher gift!
