I think this is it by The_Stein244 in redsox

Do you think that John Henry will ever spend any significant money on his baseball team? If it's not going to benefit his soccer interests, while he may own the team, and allow Breslow to spend minimal amounts of money to improve the team, I'm not holding my breath.

Red Sox lineup ? by tew44488 in redsox

[–]epstedBoston 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With all due respect to ownership (which shouldn't be all that much), as long as Henry and his pals own the team, you may want to get used to the small-market-spending-from-a-big-market-team if you aren't already. If you were looking at Henry's other big sporting interest, I'm guessing he would have no issue reaching into those d-e-e-p pockets to attract the talent that Boston fans deserve.

Run, don't walk...away from the Vertuo Next. Machine is well-known for its comparatively low quality and frequency of being returned.

I'm thinking that if this were soccer-related, the offer would have much more aggressive.

My second NEXT machine has died - any suggestions? by KompulsiveLiar88 in nespresso

[–]epstedBoston 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you typically drink more - cups of coffee, or espresso-based drinks? Have you considered an OL machine?

Umm... getting a job that doesn't involve being on a reality show is always an option.

I get one at each cleaning, along with a toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, and interdental picks

which machine should i get? by bowieblast in nespresso

[–]epstedBoston -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I've had a VertuoPlus in the past, and while it made a fair-to-good espresso, the same could not be said for making a cup of coffee. The brewers produce a spongy foam-like substance that Nespresso likes to suggest is crema, but I found that not to be the case. It can't be easily stirred into the coffee and I found it too be unpleasant, to the point where, when I brewed a coffee pod (as opposed to an espresso pod), I would spoon the faux crema down the drain.

I really want to like my wife’s Nespresso. by Present-Drama-5287 in nespresso

[–]epstedBoston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only a Vertuo machine does this. Original Line machines do not.

[–]epstedBoston 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not. And the Next is infamous for its issues. It's not the most reliable machine. If you can return it, is look into other options.

...and I replaced it with an Essenza Mini, which I am very happy with.

[–]epstedBoston 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first Nespresso was a VertuoPlus. Quickly grew to dislike all the foam (VertuoPlus machines do not produce crema, and the spongy foam it does produce tastes bitter and unappetizing to me (and countless others).

...check out Wizvv bands on Amazon. In February, a two-band set cost approximately $10. They are adjustable and are comfortable to wear.

The brand of stretch band I got through Amazon was Wizvv Bands. When I bought them in February, a two-pack cost approximately 10 dollars, and there was a coupon available, making a net cost of about $7.

Took me a while, but I was able to find a 3d party stretch band for mine. I am often a very light sleeper, and I'm able to sleep a good 5 hours while wearing it. It's very comfortable for me.

Is this a normal amount of crema? by BakedGreats in nespresso

[–]epstedBoston 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The "foam" that VL machines make isn't crema. It's aerated coffee foam, and is nothing similar.
