Fabulista Introduces: Nespresso™

It’s not everyday that fabulous people get the chance to hangout and catch up with one another. Fabulistas are far too busy most of the time being seen, setting trends, pushing the envelope, redefining the cutting-edge. Yes, when it comes to people like us, with one swift and decisive stroke of the pinking shears, we can set hemlines and the public world can become a girl’s gynecologist.

However, when we do, we share exciting information – and more often that not, we do this at a coffee joint; our favourite coffee joint. It so happens that this time around, we also spotted a new kid– Nestlé’s Nespresso™ system has arrived on Arena’s shore.

What is Nespresso™?

Nespresso™ machines use Nespresso™ coffee pods. You can buy the pods on-line direct from Nespresso™ and they come in a variety of strengths and flavours. Basically the value of the Nespresso™ system is that the coffee is sealed in its own individual pod.

The pod is only broken open in the machine as you are making the coffee. As far as we know there is no better way to keep the coffee fresh. The empty pod is stored in the machine's bin until you empty it. There is no mess and no coffee grounds. The machine is supplied with a starter pack of 12 Nespresso™ pods. The coffee itself tastes excellent and there is no variation from one cup of coffee to another.

A coffee purist might say that Nespresso™ is too easy. Yet while it's true that there is no way to play around with blends and strengths - and no way to customise the system to suit an individual taste - for anyone who just wants a simple way to produce excellent coffee every time this system is perfect.
