Nespresso may be a sin?

W hristmas and coffee machine - the one is unthinkable without the other. In any case, you get that impression when you drift into this Vorweihnachtswochen by the department stores and see all the colorful machines ...

Coffee critical

We came back from a concert, candlelight spilled out onto the red-Christmas table cloth sofa, the room was warm and I decided to take advantage of the cozy atmosphere in my favor:
"Hach tja," I sighed. "A little espresso evening but would now be a fine thing."
"Then go into the kitchen and Carry Away" replied Isabel, the most pragmatic of all the girlfriends.
"I could do, of course," I said slowly. "But it's so complicated."
You: "What's so complicated? Fill pot, turn on stove, put pot on it, take down pots. "
Me: "Exactly!"
You: "Just?"
Me: "That is so terribly retro ..."
"Retro" I had by Sanni. The works in an advertising agency and constantly drags on those words.

Isabel was silent. She worked in any advertising agency, ignoring words that they thought was empty of content. Well I tried it directly:
"So Matthew, who has recently bought a Nespresso machine and this chic is totally over the moon about it."
Isabell was unimpressed: "Your friend, Matthias," she said "your", "who was also blown away by the plastic pike on the wall of your mother, who always, Merry Christmas" blares and the fin suggests that if you pass him comes. Even if it's Easter. "
Over Easter I did not get me to talk to her. So I tried again:

"So we have John" - Hans was the plastic fish - "we can now Hans times from the game. You have to admit however, that these small, colorful capsules are incredibly practical. Clean it in the machine and you're done. "
Isabell pfffte through his teeth, which is generally not a good sign. Her tone was a little battle-ready:
"Exactly - so pure and so get out! Billions of aluminum cones migrate into the trash! Do you think about the most environmentally friendly? "
With this argument I had expected and looked up on the Nespresso website, which you might respond. So I held out the aluminum cap the yellow bag, which brought me just one more "Pfft" and the remark that I would probably still believe in Santa Claus. Isabell continued:
"Aside from the environment - you know what you cost?"
"Well, the machines are not so expensive, that they 19 bar pressure ..." Further, I did not come. With her skillful frond-like hand movements she silenced me: "I do not mean the machine - I mean the coffee."
I beamed, because I knew the price to the nearest cent, "32-38 cents a cup!"
You: "Exactly!"
Me: "Exactly?"
You: "Yes, some expect: in a capsule are 5 grams of it, a gram costs or about 7 cents. The kilogram of coffee according to a whopping 70 euros! "
Hm, so I had not seen before. € 70 sounded really like a lot. Okay, I had been by 14, 15 euros on a highland coffee. But this amount made me feel now but thoughtful. I was silent. I was silent too, because I could think of no more right arguments. Inside, I took leave of the Lattissima EN 670, which I had seen for a paltry 200 plus € 50 voucher capsule when media market in the Blaubeurerstraße. But it was true: it was important that we not made any marketing gimmick with and occasionally saving the world. Yes, my Isabell - I stroked her gently on the hair. Just a question I had:

"Honey, you're right as usual! But I'm really surprised that you all these numbers and facts so excact - Kudos "
"Oh," she said as she picked up the TV guide and it flipped, "it does not take much. Finally, I detail two weeks ago, looked on the web before I for my office, the little black dress - Model Citiz & milk, titanium -.'ve Won "
I abruptly moved away from the most extravagant of all by friends and she looked at her blankly.
"You double-tongued! How could you ... "I am lost for words.
She reached for the remote control and said, "Hach - I find the commercials just so sweet, in which George Clooney takes his little Nespressochen and it thinks that women talk about him. In addition, one must not see life dogged always the case. Well, now I want to hear anything more about the matter - the crime starts. "
