The House of Orange

You really need to broaden your horizons a bit. That kind or narrow mindset will keep you from experiencing some of life's greatest pleasures.

I’m ok with that

My parents bought a Nespresso to use when they are here. They left it. I can’t bring myself to fund the pods but I’m enjoying it while the left overs are here.

We have one (in storage) of the original style not the verturo - you can get better tasting (in my opinion) pods via amazon for the originals for significantly cheaper than through the manufacturer.

These are the ones we like to get instead


As long as you don't have the machine there that uses the rounded wide pods.

Cafe bustelo also makes some, which we keep on hand for mixed drinks and such...


Edit, It doesn't look like it's inserting the link properly...

I have one, as well. It makes a good cup, but yeah- the pods are pricey.

I use the 1/4"

1/8" Clear Netting

Why does BRS recommend this? Every tank we set up at BRS we make a screen net top for. They will save you a ton of money down the line after you have a few fish jump out of your tank, and you find them on the floor. About half of reef fish will jump high enough to get out of a tank, and unless...

For sure, every day coffee is ground and brewed. But we do like to have some cafe con leche occassionally and regular coffee just doesn't cut it for that

Why did you decide to go with the 1/4”. Wouldnt smaller holes me better?

It all depends on what you have in your tank. Smaller holes will diffuse more light and you'll lose some par. Also, IME, salt creep builds up in the 1/8" spaces much faster.

Yes and yes! Makes a great cafe con leche, and you can get cheaper pods from various places, just as good.

My Nespresso has a layer of dust on it, sadly. I liked it because it is the one that steams milk, but since I cut back on dairy, I haven't used it. Steamed oatmilk is exactly how you think it is...

Get the extra creamy oatmilk. That's what we use, makes it much better than the thin stuff.
