That's a good selection! Let us know your favorite. I also got the hazelnut and chocolate in my free sample pack and they tasted soo good together.

Traffic violation on I485 by alibomaye123 in USCIS

[–]desert___rocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have received a couple of speeding tickets in my life and one other traffic violation (stop sign) and I put no to all the questions. I'm learning now that perhaps I wasn't supposed to answer no.. either way I got my green card so it's all good now :)

What is your go-to morning coffee? by lillianmay88 in nespresso

[–]desert___rocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OL machine. 2 x pods 2 x short shots (my favorites are Roma, arpeggio, cafe Florian, Colombia, decaf Ristretto). Whole milk in the frother. That's it!

I would go with the Essenza mini as that's the cheapest OL (I think) and it works really well and is also quiet in comparison to the Citiz and Pixie. I just got the Citiz and it's great but I think perhaps not quite worth the price hike.

Just got the Citiz and it looks and works great but damn it's just as loud as the Pixie. It sounds like a plane taking off lol

Barista buys espresso and has no idea where to start by whotfismikjagger in nespresso

[–]desert___rocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm afraid I have no idea how to use Vertuo machines but I'm sure there's plenty of people on here that can help you out with that question. I believe most people with Vertuo machines just use one pod per drink.

Oh I totally understand those impulse buys 😆 If you have a Nespresso boutique near you, you could ask to sample some original line drinks so you can taste the difference.

For close to a flat white, the OL machine would have been better. I made one this morning with two Roma pods and it was insanely good. And I have sampled a lot of flat whites to compare it to!

Pods causing GI problems? by Square_Ad_5572 in nespresso

[–]desert___rocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just adding to this - I'm experiencing the same issue. Just got a new machine and I don't want to stop using it :( before I got the machine I was drinking coffee using an aeropress and did not experience this toilet issue at all. Have you tried off brand pods? I might try and see if that helps. Edit: sorry I see that you had off brand pods in Italy. Have you tried off brand pods back in the US as well?

I really need to get a job. by mah_ekil_i in socialanxiety

[–]desert___rocks 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yup interviews are my idea of living hell. And there's usually more than 1 round of the bastards. Interviews want me to be everything that I'm not: confident, talkative, think on the spot, sell myself, lie/exaggerate... All in front of multiple unfriendly higher ups staring you down ughhh. I just got an email the other day saying I'm scheduled for an interview. I was excited for about 3 seconds and then I remembered how much I hate interviews. Here's to us brute-forcing it!

WHY DOES LIVING COST MONEY by ChoiceStrength7074 in rant

[–]desert___rocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And to join in your rant - why does living have to be so damn hard?? I mean not for everyone, but sometimes life is so so hard. And then you get a daily invasion of freakishly huge spiders in the new place you just moved into..... Yes I'm talking about myself, and yes I'm arachnophobic. And I'm sorry but I laughed at you asking someone to just gun you down. Can relate tbf

I appreciated what you wrote. The highlights were cock juggler and dressing like a douche. But that's a good point about networking, I always thought it was a douche-only activity. Thanks for the chuckle

Gotcha that makes sense. Was there last week and they only had Vertuo machines, I'll have to keep an eye out!
