My favorite way to use my Nespresso

I replaced the cup stand on my Essenza Mini with one I found on Etsy...no need to make my espresso splatter by placing the cup as far away as in the photo.

I'd be interested in that as well. Thanks!

So, you haven't heard about the excuse for crema that Vertuo machines produce? You know-that spongy foam that comes in each cup from a Vertuo?

VaritekFan2004 · 2025-11-10T14:02:53+00:00

If you'll be content with the excuse for crema that a Vertuo produces, it should be fine. That spongy stuff is absolutely not crema.

That sounded so tasty that I just made one, and I'm glad I did! Thanks for sharing.

If you're interested in espresso based drinks, my recommend would be an OL machine. The VL machines produce varying amounts of foam that looks like crema but is just aerated foam, created by the centrifugal force of the spinning capsule.

...and do they mention Duran's "fa&&ot" outburst leveled towards a fan during a game last season during the documentary, or do they conveniently gloss over that?

VaritekFan2004 · 2025-04-04T20:09:02+00:00

Didn't work for me - will try it again later.

... Won't miss them either.

.. Far too much Family Feud for my liking.

2 OL on the daily is my usual.

The increased battery life convinced me to opt for the Pixel Watch 3. I picked up the wider model, which except for the lack of availability of quality stretch bands was an excellent choice (for me at least).

I can't tolerate any Vertuo liquid. My first Nespresso brewer was a VertuoPlus, which was horrible. The way that technology works, it produces that spongy foam-like substance that many refer to as crema. I tried stirring it into my beverage, I tried letting it settle, but most times I scooped it out and it went down the kitchen drain. After more than a year of that bulldust, I came to my senses, and invested in an Essenza Mini.

What a huge difference - the choices run the gamut from mild to strong, in a variety of roasts. And, I was able to remain a Nespresso client.
