The Magical Fruit

The Oromo people would customarily plant a coffee tree on the graves of powerful sorcerers. They believed that the first coffee bush sprang up from the tears that the god of heaven shed over the corpse of a dead sorcerer.

``Fuck these pods, I have an "espresso" machine that has a metal pod and I make my coffee with it.

Also, fuck Nestle

The Nespresso machines are kinda neat, because they brew with centrifugal force to achieve the 10 bars required for espresso, as compared to doing it with steam pressure.

The knockoff refillable plastic pods are great and cheap and I've never actually bought any Nespresso pods besides the samples that came with the machine. I mostly brew Lavazza.
