Day one and the first thing I heard was Liam asking for the vacuum cleaner - never a good start to the day as it means there is a huge mess in the kitchen.
However, knowing I could have a quick coffee before I had to tackle the mess I actually bounced down the stairs ready to face anything.
Including this ↑
Ironically caused by this ↑
The little coffee pod I left out last night ready for my first cup. Alanis Morrisett couldn't write this.
Thankfully the lovely Sandra at Nespresso's PR packed a selection of extra pods for the mother of the Teenage Boy (In the background preparing his next mess)
But fortified by this - I was able to clean up calmly without any fuss.
Important when you are facing into a long day of 2 autistic kids vs one parent.
Gotta love a drink that comes with a colour chart like a box of choccies!
Today I had an Arpeggio - intense and creamy but a bit cold because I did not follow the instructions and make a first cup with steamy water to tip out. The second was "Rosabaya de Colombia" and boy it hit the spot. I used to drink lattes then feel a bit sick from all the milk. With crema this good you only need a tinsy drop of milk.
Yep, I am loving this. I have a feeling that the machine I am reviewing is one of the dearer models - the cheaper ones I've looked at online were only 15 bars of pressure. And some of you might think that the parent of special needs kids should be saving their money for therapies and diets etc.
But hang that, I NEED good coffee and I need it at home BECAUSE I have 2 autistic kids. I don't have time to be messing around with inferior technology.
Speaking of which, where's my Dyson? It appears Liam has finished his popcorn....

Is more like Dyson vs 2 small boys in our house. This far Dyson 0 : boys 1.
Great review:-)
