Me And NY Daily News Like Le Cube
The New York Daily News just released its list of the 10 coolest foodie gadgets of the moment. I wouldn’t frown at receiving any of the great tools on this year’s list. I would be absolutely thrilled to be gifte with item number six on the list, the Nespresso Le Cube C180. Talk about a gorgeous machine. I have yet to test drive one of these bad boys, so having only drooled from afar I can’t comment on performance or how user friendly. But I can tell you it’s reasonably priced and would look darn good on my counter!
The article describes the machine as:
A splurge for that very special caffeine junkie, this Ferrari of espresso machines was designed to both turn heads and make great coffee. Using Nespresso’s patented single-serve pods - available in a dozen “grand cru” blends - Le Cube eliminates the guesswork and mess from the espresso-making process (there’s no measuring or cleanup required).
The only downside I see? You have to use those darn pods. I get that pods are supposed to be so much easier - no measuring or loose grinds to clean up. But the pods seem like a bit of an overpriced rip-off to me. Who knows, maybe I would love them right? I could always make my own.
