HiLine Nespresso Capsules
If you are still looking for third party compatible capsules, give the lads at Colonna a try. Maxwell attempts to put the highest quality coffees in capsules. Great stuff. Not cheap. Ships form Bath, UK. Explore the site, you will see he's got the chops to make good on his claims. No affiliated. Was...

Making espresso, latte and cappuccino outdoor?
Nespresso capsules are easy, quick, lightweight, clean, and convenient in the backcountry where 1!0VAC and inexauastible fuel are unavailable. Taking milk backpacking is stupid. I've been backpacking for probably much longer than you've been alive

HiLine Nespresso Capsules
HiLine was so bad when they started selling their awful capsules that they actually issued an apology to their customers during their second year of operations. They never offered to refund my money or to replace the terrible capsules with their new and improved merchandise. IIRC, the only capsule f...

My Y1.1 Francis Francis
As far as I can tell, the little bubbles that appear on the top of the Illy Iperespresso capsules at then of the extraction are normal. I'm guessing, from hundreds of observations, releasing the brewing chamber's upper section allows the capsule to relax and push some water out. I have two FrancisFr...

The Illy cup is my favorite. My illy demitasse hold exactly 2 fluid ounces, 60ml, at the rim. The cappuccino cup holds 4 fluid ounces comfortably, 5 is FULL, 6 is impossible.

Randy, my boy! Thanks for everything and hope life is good. Seeing that photo of the Jarrett family from #149 brought back great memories of those early SCAA conventions and ye olde Usenet. I've posted a link on reddit's weirdly dèjà vu-ish espresso sub. "We have all been here before."
