Covfaffe - the road to despair, calling at futility and disappointment

I have recently come to deeply resent my Nespresso machine.

I hate this site.

That serious looking grinder went for Ā£15. The coffee machine Ā£140.

I shouldā€™ve bought them & put them on ebay.

My life has been forever changed since last Sunday, @edd9000 and I did a dodgy deal where I got a broken bean to cup machine as part of the deal.

I didnā€™t like coffee before, Iā€™m drinking about 4 cups a day, now.

Nice one Craig. Did you repair it yourself?

Yes. Disassembled the grinder motor unit and then reassembled it - part of it looked as though it ended up forced apart from being clogged (or for some other reason, unsure), works well.

The repair included me having to take the u bend off of the sink as when I was messing around with it, it fell apart and spewed springs/ball bearings all over the worktop.

Steady on! Sounds like a purveyor of wooden boxes full of cat litter to me.

Oh, hang on! That type of ā€œgroundā€.

Coffee filled Entreq? Just imagine the foo potential with having to refill with Yirgacheffe every four weeks to keep the sound freshā€¦

Post lunch espresso

Just noticed my Nespresso pods have a best before date of March 17. Is this an issue ?

No need for wind up replies, Iā€™m not a Nespresso salesman :smile:

Donā€™t worry, they canā€™t taste any worse :smiley:

I thought I was being helpful :roll_eyes:

I donā€™t really understand the question. It wonā€™t kill you (the pressurised steam pumped through them is likely to kill any stuff growing in it), so itā€™s a question of taste, which can only be answered by someone who has old Nespresso pods around to test it. And the only person there isā€¦

Sensible answer:
Best Before dates are advisory. Used By dates have safety connotations.

Actual answer:
They are shit. You deserve what you get.
