Nespresso Coffee: Short Movie

sean — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 15:35:46 +0000

Brandy and I fell in love with the Nespresso Coffee machine on our recent trip to Australia. Our friends had an older machine and after dinner every night they made a perfect expresso in a matter of seconds. We researched the Nespresso machines out there and got a cube. We’ve had it since July 2009 and still love it.

It costs about .55 per capsule - so it more expensive than regular drip coffee at your house, but way cheaper than going to the shop. Here is a new video that they send customers a few days ago about 3 new flavors of coffee. Kind of a fun Video.

Spas in Portland Oregon and nearby

A friend recently asked me for info on spas nearby. Here is the list I created and some brief notes:

Dosha: Brandy and I have been before - it’s nice, hot tubs etc. Local.

Avalon - Haven’t used it myself - but will soon. Many friends have and said they liked it.

Breitenbush Hot Springs - Local - different style. (Hippyish) Cost effective and away from PDX - I like it.

Skamania - Been here multiple times. I like it. In mountains, hot springs outside. I think you can use fitness center and outdoor hot springs for cheap.
