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.
