Glenys and I visited the Nespresso Shop in Karrinyup Shopping Centre today.
I recognised it as a place of Devil worship. The staff, although they seemed nice enough, had a whiff of sulphur about them.
I had a cross just in case but in the end the pods looked interesting and I made sure that the door was near enough if I had to make a run for it.
I was quite impressed with the tastes of the pods and to the side of the main sacrifice altar (still had fresh stains on it), they had a tasting bar all very nicely set up. The lighting was well thought out too and reminded me of the Goetterdammerung (Twilight of the Gods) type scene with the orange glow throwing a menacing glow on the altar with Nespresso machines exposed wantonly on shelves, openly inviting you to interact intimately with them.
I have to say they did put a lot of thought into this place of Nespresso worship. Their pod geniuses were very helpful and I think the manager's name was actually Hal and no doubt is the person who does open the pod bay doors in the morning.
I had two pods one was a Barista Scuro (95 cents each). I was quite impressed. They are definitely tasty but it is difficult to compare them with real espresso. Obviously not quite as extracted but nice to drink. The pods are no mess items which is great. The milk frothing of course is what requires some power and it is probably lacking in most machines. I think the strength of a simple pod machine would be for making drinks without milk and without much mess.
I calculate my coffee costs me 25 cents per double shot so I would spend $1000 more per year if I did drink pods.
The trip to the temple was informative and I decided pods are good for some people who want quick, easy and tastey.
