There are a few out there! I roast fir heaps of guys and gals at work, and they all love it.......but there is one guy, loves his blend 43, nothing I can do to change it......set in his ways :
My mum loves coming over for a coffee. She now finds it difficult to drink instant.
Im tempted to set her up with a machine and grinder but worry shell struggle to use it and just give up.
Will soon be picking up an old Cimbali Domus I got for $20 off the bay this week. If that cleans up ok may give it to her along with my EM0480 which is currently sitting under my desk here at work.
I hear your.
My parents are the same and so are my wifes parents.
Although they do enjoy fresh coffee that i make them they just like the ease of the instant.
I guess for them its simple, easy and its no worse than what they have been drinking as a standard for years.
I know i will never change mine so i dont put the effort in to try but rather know that when them come to my place they only ever get the "real" thing.
Its not all that weird, my mum loves her blend 43 also. She grew up on it and thats why she loves it.
I dont mind a bit of instant every now and then myself either.
Same with a friend she put 3 heaped teaspoons of sugar in a double ristretto I made from some rather expensive beans, didnt finish it and then told me her Nespresso was better.
I nearly threw her over the balcony.
Anyway I just resigned myself to the fact that she is swayed by gimmicks, but is entitled to her own opinion and taste regardless.

Sometimes, murder IS justified :P
Or... Return the compliment and when eating dinner or snacks prepared by Nespresso lover, request a can of Pal and some stale bread instead! If you do follow through however you may need the shot of Nexpresso to take the edge off!
Count me in! My parents and even my siblings prefer instant coffee. They all prefer Maxwell House or Tasters Choice. I guess its really just a matter of taste huh. And I guess they find brewing fresh coffee a hassle.
