I must admit I am surprised at this too - I worked in Italy for a while and coffee was dispensed from a machine which after a series of grinding and flushing noises would dispense a paper cup not much larger than a thimble then 2 or 3 drops of a viscous black/brown liquid. The Italians would sip this - and you found out why any more than a sip and your tongue would shrivel - 8ozs? Currently I am using a 'Nespresso' machine and have around 4 double expresso (Lungo) in the morning and perhaps just as many the afternoon. Not sure how that equates to 8ozs of pale brown drip/filter coffee.

Naut Nespresso is rubbish high robusta content and really a marketing story. Nespresso cost of low grade beans are $200/Kg, do the math.
Klunni BS.

I have stainless steel reusable capsules for the machine into which I put normal expresso or for that matter any ground beans. The South Americans have a term - 'crocodile arms' more usually known as 'short arms long pockets'

It’s been snowing all night. So the morning goes like this;
8:00 I made a snowman.
8:10 A feminist passed by and asked me why I didn’t make a snow woman.
8:15 So, I made a snow woman.
8:17 The nanny of the neighbors complained about the snow woman's voluptuous chest.
8:20 The gay couple living nearby grumbled that it could have been two snowmen instead.
8:25 The vegans at No. 12 complained about the carrot nose, as veggies are food and not to decorate snow figures with.
8:28 I am being called a racist because the snow couple is white.
8:31 The Muslim gent across the road wants the snow woman to wear a headscarf.
8:40 Someone calls the cops who show up to see what’s going on.
8:42 I am told that the broomstick of the snowman needs to be removed because it could be used as a deadly weapon. Things get worse after I mutter : "Yeah, if it's up your a***"
8:45 Local TV news crew shows up. I am asked if I know the difference between snowmen and snow-women? I reply, "Snowballs" and am called a sexist.
8:52 My phone is seized and thoroughly checked while I am being blindfolded and flown to the police station in a helicopter.
9:00 I'm on the news as a suspected terrorist bent on stirring up trouble during this difficult weather.
9:10 I am asked if I have any accomplices.
9:29 A little known jihadist group has claimed it was their plot.
Moral: There is no moral to this story. It’s just the America we live in today!
