I was looking at the new Nespresso Virtuo machines only this afternoon (a Nespresso boutique just opened near me). I currently have a different make but I’m asking Father Xmas to bring me a Virtuo. They make the coffee with a huge layer of crema on top, enough to make up for giving up milk in coffee!When coffee raises adrenaline and cortisol as well as BP in the morning it will spike me. I love my nespresso and not giving it up. I tend to drink a decaf with bf ( for the love of the crema) then make a regular and just drink eat the crema. Then combine what's left of both and drink it late morning/ early afternoon. This has helped. Trying to cut back to one cup a day or I don't drink enough water/ seltzer.
I will!Oh do let us know Rachox. I’ve been thinking of cutting down, or even giving up cream, on occasions. Too hard to do as I love cream and love coffee. Together I’m in heaven in the mornings. But this new coffee machine by nespresso - Virtuo - sounds ideal. X

They are expensive but there are two things in life I won’t go cheap on, one is coffee the other is loo rolls!I'm awfully jealous. I said to Mrs. Jealous a few days ago that it would be lovely to have an espresso machine but she, I suppose rightly, said the little capsules are expensive for what they are.
Hmmm ... reading this is making me head to the kitchen to start up the percolator for my afternoon hit from the boring conventional coffee machine.
depends if you buy coffee from chains or not.. the capsules here in the UK are between 31p and 37p per shot at least that's what they were last time I ordered some. With coffee shop coffee at between £2 and £4 a go I think they are pretty cheap. Whenever I suggest having coffee out hubs always say no way our coffee at home is so much better.. so even my triple shot Americano works out fairly reasonable.said the little capsules are expensive for what they are.
The Lidl ones are the best of the alternatives I have found and at 18p per pod are certainly cheaper, although there are only about 4 varieties. How much are the special pods for the Vertuo @Rachox ?depends if you buy coffee from chains or not.. the capsules here in the UK are between 31p and 37p per shot at least that's what they were last time I ordered some.

They range from 37-60p each, there’s 20 odd types. More expensive than the compatibles, but still a fraction of the price of a Costa or Starbucks!The Lidl ones are the best of the alternatives I have found and at 18p per pod are certainly cheaper, although there are only about 4 varieties.

If you Google Refillable Nespresso Pods you will find there are many types available but I haven't tried any.I'm suprised some enterprising person has not figured out how to "refill" capsules from coffee bought in bulk. Similar to the computer printer ink/toner racket. Maybe Nestlé has some kind of legal lock on that kind of thing? Perhaps it's not practical?
Am I reading you right, butter and cream in your coffee, no can't be.I have one very strong instant coffee first(ish) thing in the morning with butter and cream.
Any more and I'm wired up to the eyeballs.
Haven't specifically tested for the impact, and couldn't split it out from the butter and cream anyway.

I call it bullet resistant coffee because the full bulletproof coffee also has coconut oil in but that is a step too far for me.
As indeed do I quite often.. along with the double cream.. very yummy it is too.As many of us probably know already, sailors in Days of Yore (and maybe even now?) traditionally put salt in their coffee.
