Maybe. It is an acquired taste.

I don't like the taste of coffee, coffee flavored ice cream, coffee anything.

I do like the smell of fresh ground beans though. Which is odd. Why doesn't it taste the way the beans smell?
Coffee flavored ice cream is great but you gotta make it yourself, I take a good grade of vanilla ice cream and add a tablespoon of instant coffee crystals, it's much better than the store bought stuff.

I just want soluble Nescafe, in large quantities, to wake
me up in the morning. Like a donkey kick straight to my
skull. Actually, anything will do, really. Even the market's
generic brand.

Why do people fetishize coffee? Or wine or beer for that
purpose? Drugs are drugs. Period.
Try a Nespresso and all will become clear.

That's the pod thing inside the machine? Would like to, but they're
like 100 quid and once you buy it, you're trapped buying the pods.

It's like those Gillette razors' business model.

Actually you can get the machine for about £60 now and yes you do have to buy the pods but they work out around 0.25p each. Once up you know how to effectively froth the milk the cappuccinos are awesome. A splash of something special from the bar gives it a seasonal kick. Highly recommended.

O.k., I'm intrigued now. Have you tried other machines? Which ones
would you think are better and, almost as important, easier to stock
up with pods --and with decent variety, of course?

I've used a variety of machines in our various work offices and I find Nespresso to be the best all round. You find everything you need to get started with awesome coffee here:

So, I guess I should get one which also froths the milk, correcto?

Nespresso is for people who can't figure out how to use an actual espresso machine.

I like the commercials tho. "I want in!"

I would have advised that you also get one that wipes your ass, but I understand you're an artiste who takes pride in his own work. πŸ™‚

No, don't bother with the frother.
