Elle is an idiot. My partner and I own two Nespresso machines cause it’s super convenient, the coffee is decent, and the pods can be easily recycled here and neither of us go into the Nespresso store to “check out the coffee” aka drink free testers, especially during a global pandemic. I bet the only attention and respect Elle has ever gotten in life is from sales associates, and that’s why she insists that the ability to drive to the Nespresso store and “test” the coffee there is essential to her life. Nespresso coffee machines are literally a convenient way to make Starbucks grade coffee at home, and if you were such a coffee connoisseur, you’d buy a nice Breville barista machine and take the time and effort to use that instead. The store is pretty and gimmicky though, and the service is usually great so I suspect she craves the attention from sales people there, who generally treat everyone really well. Smelle is so desperate and delusional.
