My second observation is that I never felt properly caffeinated after a Nespresso coffee anyway, and usually had to buy an extra coffee just to keep the headaches at bay. I'd love to see some analysis on how much caffeine gets extracted from one of those little pods, because it feels like about half a shot.
yes, I find the caffeine to be relatively weak in nespressos. I have one at the office, but at home I have a Rancilio Silvia (on a timer so its hot when I wake up). The rancilio end product is *vastly* superior to the nespesso. Once I finally got a triple basket, its even better.
