Indeed I am. Vertuo and Original Line machines. Both are awesome and make a high quality cup of coffee. If grinding beans and dicking around with a French press or Moka pot weren't such a pain in the ass I would use them more often, but they are so I don't. Nespresso ftw.
do you ever do espresso sized beverages with vertuo or just mainly for larger volumes?

The Yukon has been $200 off for Black Friday and now Cyber Monday. Even with 200 off, it's crazy expensive. Especially considering we could build our own fire pit with much less. Smokeless is a huge incentive for us though, considering we're in the city and have close neighbors on both sides of our house. Do you get smoke in your yard with your neighbor's fire?

anyone have a vertuo nespresso machine? some good deals but cant really mentally justify adding a 5th coffee maker to my arsenal
we bought one at the beginning of lockdown. it really saved us. now that I'm no longer WFH I'm using Nespresso mostly on the weekends and using my Moka pot at the office.

Yes. There are some espresso sized capsules that are only available with Vertuo.

no - it really is quite remarkable (related to smoke).

they also make these which i think is a more refined look https://breeo.co/products/zentro-round- ... steel-from

could always drop your solo stove in the stone i suppose

it seems like the solo stoves are always on sale

i suppose i didnt articulate this well - if you are still using your original in conjunction with vertuo, do you use the vertuo espresso capsules or mainly just use vertuo for larger pours?
i have an original in my office that i use for my afternoon Cafe LITT session and a larger original at home with steam wand so trying to figure out utility. utlimiately would like to send keurig to pasture.

I primarily use the Vertuo for larger pours. I like to pretend to be a coffee snob and enjoy trying the different origin pods they release, of which sizes range from espresso size to an 8 ounce cup with some 4 to 6 ounce varieties mixed in. 90% of what I make in the Vertuo is 5+ ounces.

I only drink french press or espresso. I work from home so maybe I have more time. But I want good tasting coffee.

hotplate. when I was in the main building I'd use the stove in the kitchen but when I got moved to the automative shop I had to improvise. we discovered Moka pot coffee in Italy.

Not much shopping today. I ordered a new concealed-carry holster and a couple pairs of cargo sweatpants.

Target's 10% off gift card sale is this weekend (12/5 and 12/6). Discount applies to up to $300 in gift cards online, but I've been able to get more than that in store. The catch is that the gift card you buy has to be redeemed in full in a single transaction, which they started doing last year. Stupid as hell.

At any rate, buying smaller amounts is the safe bet, and using your Discover card fore the purchase will earn you 5% CashBack bonus if you have one.

Amazon has been the 5% category since October, FWIW. Target and Walmart were recently added for December only.

Yeah I always activate whatever is available, I just know that all 3 are on there right now. Also it seems for me at least Target and Walmart have been on since October.

When I just logged into my account it said...

You activated to earn 5% Cashback Bonus at New! Best Buy (Nov 25 - Dec 31), Amazon.com, Walmart.com and Target.com from October 1–December 31, 2020, on up to $1,500 in combined purchases.

My Discover card statement last week was just a run of AMAZON.COM, haha. And yet, I still haven't maxed out the bonus. I will this month, though.

Discover was also nice enough to give me a 3k credit increase since I hadn't asked for a one in a while and they hadn't done an auto one like usual for whatever reason.
