What's the verdict on Nespresso machines? Are they /ck/

>>8926558
I don't drink espresso enough to justify doing it at home with an appliance that is probably a bitch to clean and takes up too much counter space.

Good luck though.

>take shit (espresso)
>Then Automate it and connect it to our smart phones

Why do Americans make shitty over concentrated coffee, then further ruin it with dumb machines like this?

Ywn roast own beans
Grind own beans
Enjoy superior cup (of any brew)

Unless you invest the effort to do it manually

Including a real, tho basic, espresso machine that doesn't use pre fabbed bullshit

OFFICIAL COFFEE MAKING TIERS

>Best Tier
Dedicated Espresso Machine (beans to cup)
Moka Pot, Hand-ground beans

>Good Tier
Moka Pot, pre-ground beans

>OK Tier
French Press, pre ground beans
Filter papers
Nespresso or other pod-based coffee makers

>Bad Tier
Just putting ground beans in a cup and adding hot water (AKA university tier)

>Poverty Tier
Instant coffee (nescafe, kenco, etc)
filter coffee from cafes
slow-drip coffee makers (like from diners)

>>8926558
OP the coffee is meh quality, the propetary pods are expensive and supplies run out quickly, the machines are noisy and require cleaning and water refills all the time, and the convenience is only slightly better than just making it in a french press or moka pot (pic related). You can get moka pots that work with electric induction stoves as well if you have one of those. They take about 10 mins to make an esrpesso and require cleaning but the coffee is much better. If you can't be bothered with that just put a couple of scoops of pre-ground coffee into a french press and add boiling water, coffee ready in five mins or so.

assuming you buy good quality pre-ground beans, yeah. nespresso uses poor quality and the pods mean that it doesn't get all the flavor our compared to using ground beans, properly tamped, in a moka pot

is there any truth to very bad health effects of cooking food in aluminum pots or in this case making coffee in it

Health Risks of Cooking in Aluminum.
http://www.livestrong.com/article/475155-health-risks-of-cooking-in-aluminum/

Is Cooking With Aluminum Pans A Health Risk?
http://www.foodtrients.com/news-page/health/aluminum-pans-health-risk/


The New Aluminum
More recently, with the possible Alzheimer risk in mind, cookware manufacturers set out to revamp aluminum cookware.
As a result, a new type of aluminum cookware – anodized aluminum – was created. Some very well-known cooks like TV’s Emeril has endorsed them – particularly one brand,
All Clad, but there are several other brands like Calphalon, Anolon, et al, that are also popular. What are these new-generation aluminum pans like? Here are some of their advantages:

Lightweight
Conduct heat evenly and are heat resistant to 1,222 degrees Fahrenheit.
Inexpensive
Resist abrasion and corrosion
Durable, very long life span
The manufacturers of anodized aluminum cookware explain ‘anodization’ of aluminum as an ‘electro-chemical process that hardens aluminum making it harder than stainless steel’.
The anodized finish is, they say, nontoxic and heat resistant to the melting point of aluminum. But are they safer than the old aluminum cookware?

According to the Anodized Aluminum Manufacturers, anodized aluminum cookware ‘leaches about 35 micrograms’ of aluminum into your food with each use.
If you use this cookware repeatedly in a day’s time, every day of the week, you obviously are going to get more than 35 mcg. Aluminum accumulates in your body, like other metals do.
People with kidney disease may have a hard time clearing it efficiently.

>how do I make espresso at home?
Get an espresso machine. I have a Breville 870XL, it's kind of nice because it has an integrated burr grinder (typically $150+ and really finnicky to find a 'good' one). You get what you pay for when you buy a nice one, but that's not to say you can't find a good deal on one (got mine as a warehouse deal on amazon with another promotion, ended up $470 for something that msrp's for $599

>>8928926
Studies have found aluminum in Alzeheimer's plaques, but nobody knows whether the Al is the cause or just along for the ride. Al is pretty common after all.

>>8927455
I'd put french press in the good tier.

That is if you grind your own beans.

I'ld say 10 of them are pure bullshit garbage made up shit WITH ZERO SCIENTIFIC PROOF, just aggressive marketing!

12 HEALTH BENEFITS OF COFFEE
1.Coffee boosts your physical performance. Have a cup of black coffee about an hour before workout and your performance can improve by 11-12%. Caffeine increases adrenaline levels in your blood. Adrenaline is your body’s “fight or flight” hormone which helps you to prepare for physical exertion.

2.Coffee may help you lose weight. Coffee contains magnesium and potassium, which helps the human body use insulin, regulating blood sugar levels and reducing your craving for sugary treats and snacks.

3.Coffee helps you burn fat. Caffeine helps fat cells break down body fat and use it as fuel for training.

4.Coffee helps you focus and stay alert. Moderate caffeine intake, 1-6 cups a day, helps you focus and improves your mental alertness.

5.Coffee lowers risk of death. Studies have shown that coffee drinker’s overall risk of premature death is 25% lower than of those who don’t drink coffee.

6.Coffee reduces risk of cancers. One study has shown that coffee may decrease the risk of developing prostate cancer in men by 20 %, and endometrial cancer in women by 25 %.
People in the test group drank four cups of coffee a day. Caffeine may also prevent developing of basal cell carcinoma, the most common type of skin cancer.

7.Coffee reduces risk of stroke. Reasonable consumption of coffee (2–4 cups a day) is associated with lower risk of stroke.

8.Coffee reduces risk of Parkinson’s disease. Studies have shown that regular coffee drinking decreases risk of Parkinson’s disease by 25 %.
There’s evidence that coffee causes activity in the part of the brain affected by Parkinson’s.

9.Coffee protects your body. Coffee contains a lot of antioxidants, that work as little warriors fighting and protecting against free radicals within your body.

/next pg

10.Coffee may lower risk of Type II diabetes. Caffeine decreases your insulin sensitivity and impairs glucose tolerance, therefore reduces your risk of type 2 diabetes.

11.Coffee protects your brain. High caffeine levels in your blood reduce the risk of Alzheimer disease. It also lowers risk of dementia.

12.Coffee brightens your mood, helps fight depression and lowers risk of suicide.
Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system and boosts production of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenaline, which elevate your mood.
Two cups of coffee a day prevents risk of suicide by 50 %.

Very nice design, very nice mechanical machine.
But this is not the one that you have, this one looks brand new. perhaps even cheap Chinese replica.

Can you please post picture of your grinder, you know to see "the use" and authentic look of a heritage coffee grinder that lasted for so many years that ground so many different coffees.

that's why I'm now questioning wisdom of brewing coffee in those aluminum moka pots, there are so many of them for so many years, must be millions all over the World.
and I hope the original Made in Italy are of better quality, that the aluminum is of better quality than the cheap Chinese replicas.
I do own original Italian made aluminum moka pot and I just purchased few days ago the solid stainless steel Made in Italy as well.
