[WTD] Nespresso machine

Please don’t hate me…

We recently bought a motorhome and are in the process of kitting it out.

I want a coffee machine but have been told I’m not allowed anything that will result in a mess, because apparently she’s sick and tired of cleaning up my coffee grounds. This is a despicable slander because the Sage is a bean to cup and the used pucks go straight into the knock box and then into the food bin. I mean the odd one might escape onto the worktop or floor but I’m generally pretty good at cleaning up afterwards…

Anyway I’m only allowed a pod machine, and as compact as practicable, as long as I can get an americano out of it.

Suppose the original little pods would suit the space saving brief better than the Vertuo ones, and I could use compatible ones, but I’m not that bothered really

So has anyone got one at the back of a cupboard?

Cheap as possible would be great, it’s only going to get used fairly infrequently.

Aeropress mate.

The resultant “puck” of coffee is hard and mostly dry, you just pop it out the end and into the compost. Very easy to clean.

Edit: or just a Hario pourover. Again lift the filter out and straight into the compost. Zero mess with that either.

You can get some respectable pods from Colonna. They’re OK.

Coffee grounds, either pre or post brew, are strictly verboten.

She hated it when I had a separate grinder and espresso machine because I did often spill some when loading the portafilter, so she has a point there.

Anyway I’d have to buy a hand grinder and I am not under any circumstances going down that rabbit hole.

Feeling it mate, thanks so much.

I drink instant microground when I’m backpacking. Tiny bit of grit left in the bottom of the cup.

I think he’s suggesting that I might not be the trouser wearer of the household.

I’ll probably end up with one of those Gregg, but they use the Vertuo pods, and you can’t get aftermarket/3rd party pods in that format, which is why I thought I’d see if someone had an unloved original type sitting at the back of a cupboard.

School day tomorrow, make sure Claire’s are neatly ironed and ready.

Scumbag bible pg 19…

Double down on inadequacy - start serving ‘tidy’ god awful coffee

Convincingly, vaguely drop in ‘all that faff is pointless’ take a sip and say ‘Yum’…

Continue to subject daily untill you sense she’s just about had enough then say, ‘I have to be honest I was hoping this coffee would do me but I don’t really like it…’ With a fair wind she will honestly agree and you get a green light to convert half the vehicle into a full pressure excraction device.

She actually likes instant coffee, so that’s not going to work.
