I cannot claim to be a coffee purist...
I drink about 6 - 10 cups of swill at work. I start my morning with a couple cups of trader joe's coffee I just pour through a pour over maker... and I don't sit there and baby the pour like they do at the expensive "coffee by the cup" joints here (do you guys have these outside of california? They're popping up everywhere here... they'll make your single cup of regular coffee to order, by weighing out what looks like 2 beans, grinding them and pouring hot water over them... then charging 5$... not a big fan).
But, oddly, they also have a Nespresso coffee shop here in SF... It's a combination retail store (they have what almost would be a wine cellar, full of those dam nespresso pods of a million styles) and coffee shop. Got some nespresso espresso there once, pretty tasty... Then we ended up with nespresso in our hotel in mexico once... and I think in paris.... I enjoyed them. I can totally see someone buying one of those machines for convenience. But I am cheap when it comes to my coffee... I'm the only one who drinks it, tastes it, and I'm not doing it for enjoyment, just to get the caffeine in my system.
