My boyfriend makes esspresso every morning with one of
these. He's a coffee snob, but he's usually able to get his dark roast whole beans (usually Peete's or Starbucks) at Kroger, though he'll pick some up at Central Market or Whole Foods if we happen to be shopping in either one of those places, which isn't regular for us. Sometimes he goes over to
the House of Coffee Beans to treat himself, but I'm pretty sure they're only Houston based. He hasn't liked the stuff he's gotten at Spec's, though he appreciates their Obama blend (a mix of Kenyan and Hawaiian beans). I'm not sure if any of the non-Smith street Specs have coffee.
My mom gave my dad
one of these for Christmas last year, and the reviews from all resident coffee drinkers have generally been positive. You're pretty much stuck with the Nespresso coffee, though, if you go this route. It's generally pretty good stuff and there are lots of blends.
