I have a Keurig also. And yes the Nespresso is expensive. That’s why I have never splurged and bought one

Define expensive ...

More than I want to spend. Upwards in the hundreds.

I just found one of these in the cabinet so made it and added skim milk and vanilla. Not too bad. And a couple of these.View attachment 591746View attachment 591757

I keep and usually at least another flavor or 2 in the house. They're all GF SF and DF

I read that those machines are very expensive. Never tried Nespresso, but I have Cuisinart and Keurig at home, and they both make good coffee. (I like the Cuisinart better, not just that it makes various sizes of pots and cups, but I think their machines make great coffee.) I use the Keurig for a quick cup of coffee (either Peets or Starbucks French Roast K-cups).

I have the K-cups you can put your own coffee in. Seeing we have 3 coffee drinkers the single use would be rather expensive not to mention the amount of plastic that would wind up in the landfill. I have a rather old Mr Coffee that needs to get upgraded at some point but it hasn't died yet so that can wait. I also like the coffee from the french press but that's a bit of a pita to clean

I thought that when I tasted it that it was the best cup of coffee I had ever had and I don’t like black coffee.

The best cup of coffee I ever had was disgusting.

Do you like chai ?

 

[Goofyernmost]

Do you like chai ?

Yup, as long as it is pronounced Lipton.

I'm not a scientist, but I know a lot of places that were previously really hot have seen more snow in the last few years because as the ice melts, the wind blows the cold air and creates colder temperatures in certain places. At least, that's the way I understand it, but again, science is my worst subject, so take it with a grain of salt. But just look at @donaldtoo 's weather report posts....not nearly as many triple digits this past year. And wasn't there a snow storm that covered up a bunch of solar panels so they were out of electricity for a few days?

Yes, we had “SNOWMAGEDDON 2021!!!!!!!!!!!” back in February, and in all of 2021, we only had 10 days at or above 100 degrees, with 5 of those days being in September. The yearly average is 29 days at or above 100, and the record is 90 days back in 2011.
We’ve been back here for 46+ years, and I can’t remember a cooler summer.
Funny thing is, we’re still havin’ daily highs in the low-mid 90’s…it got up to 94 here today, and they’re predicting Friday, Saturday, and Sunday will top out at 93, 95, and, 97, respectively.
It’s almost the middle of October, and we’ve had no significant cool front to speak of, so far.

There is no hope for you.

Just finished watchin’ a live stream of the SE show from Cory Meets World, and he also said it was, hands down, the best thing Disney has rolled out for the 50th, so far…!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

Cause it’s all vegetable, and bacon isn’t a vegetable.

I beg to differ…!!!!!

YES!! When they want to do something really special like this, they can!! Renews my optimism in the creative show team -- IMO, they captured the (80s era) theme for EPCOT, in a subtle display of color hues and effects, along with appropriate music.

Yep, it definitely gives me a beginning-of-it-all original 80’s EPCOT Center vibe…!!!!!

There is no 100 days all year, but we not done for 70 degree days. Sunday has a chance to be 80 degrees.

Right now it looks like no highs in the 50s. It doesn't look like any highs in the 50s not till past October 22nd. That is a bit odd compared to the last couple years.
