Ok. It's not because George Clooney is staring at me with those playful, yet sage eyes. And it's not because owning one of these things secures a spot for you in the "trendy elite" of Swiss society. And it's not even the fact that when you enter the Nespresso store in downtown Lausanne, with it's 40-50 foot tall ceilings, white marble floors, and beautiful people all smiling, as if knowing a special secret that you may have access to if you have enough of la Suisse within you, and it feels as if all of your worries are lifted away, one by one, by teeny multi-colored sleek espresso capsules that will cost you 2 francs a pop. No---is it wrong for me to just want to enjoy a tasty, delicious, piece of Swiss precision in every glass with my hubby? A small, beautiful capsule designed with such scientific meticulousness, like a Swiss watch, that you place in a gorgeous machine, and out comes a perfect, dark yet frothy piece of heaven, every time? Now that, my friends, is why I want a Nespresso.
...for only an upfront investment of a few hundred francs and 2 francs per capsule. I mean, that's it!
...aka...need to start saving my allowance! aargh!
So I saw this in Williams Sonoma yesterday and thought of you! The girl was like "this is all the rage in Switzerland" and all I could think was "I know, I have an informant on the inside" :) Not going to lie though, I'm kind of freaked out by the look of it - it reminds me of Gonzo's nose...
