As a hotel guest, Product Junkie likes to be spoiled with in-room gadgets and little luxuries. So imagine our excitement when we saw the new pod-type espresso machines from Nespresso.
While the main market for the domestic machines is at home, they're also targeted at high-end hotels who like to give guests an in-room roast and ground experience and are suitably slim to fit into small spaces.
The design of the new CitiZ range is evocative of iconic Art Deco buildings such as New York's Empire State Building and the machines come in striking shiny colours of fire engine red, retro white, limousine black and steel grey.
There are three models: CitiZ - a single automatic espresso machine, CitiZ&Milk - a single automatic espresso machine with a built-in fresh milk-frother, and CitiZ&Co which is like a pair of machines in one allowing two coffees to be made simultaneously, which we think would be perfect for honeymoon suites.
The single CitiZ machine is available in grey, red, white and black and is priced at £129. The CitiZ&Milk machines cost £179 and come in red and black. And finally, the CitiZ&Co machine colours are grey and black with a price of £239.
Heh.
Nothing delights me more than finding a Nespresso in my hotel room. I have video evidence and everything. (Second video) ;)
So much better than a kettle and a nasty pack of freeze-dried coffee.
