The Nespresso Shuffle – The Ipod is no longer alone

   I have an Iphone with tons of music. Ever so often I listen to an entire album or artist selection, but invariably I hit the shuffle option and play dangerously. A couple of years back I bought an orange colored Nespresso machine.  Every few months I place an order and fill up my kitchen with coffee pad sleeves of various colors. At first I was very organized. I’d try a sleeve to see if I liked the flavor and the aroma, in an attempt to decide what I would order in the future. My wife had a different system. She opened a pile of sleeves and poured them into the great bronze coffee cup that sits in the corner of our kitchen. Tthe result is very picturesque but means I have to go fishing for the right coffee pad. The link you are missing in this story is that I am color blind (now there’s a good topic to blog about if ever I heard one) so the colors mean nothing to me even if I could recall which color stands for which flavor. Which brings me back to the shuffle. If it is good enough for my music, why not try it on my coffee. So now every time I have the urge for a  good cup off coffee I get the surprise flavour of the day. Much more satisfying.
