chelseastu wanted to run from F lounge to J lounge just to get a takeaway coffee to take on the plane, where the plane has Nespresso pods: I don't think I'd sacrifice my F lounge time for that!
I'm not sure that the Nespresso capsules - they use the professional type ones which have a better vacuum seal than the consumer pods - just because they are preground are automatically worse: fresh beans are ground and then immediately vacuum sealed in Switzerland before global dispatch.
Costa beans, I'm not sure how long they've been there - although, I accept the ones in the J lounge are likely to be quite fresh given the turnover.
Baristas, well, rare to find one that actually adds something special, given that baristas are simply cogs in the machine for the service standard
