Are they serious?

Saw an advert for this on the TV last night. Nescafe Red Mug Machine. It's a coffee maker like one of those pod ones, but you pour a spoonful of instant coffee in the top and it makes you a cup of instant coffee. FFS. Does this thing, for $99.00, do more than a spoon and a kettle?

Allows you to make the worlds worst cappuccino!

Was that powdered milk in there at the start? Lawd!

And they will sell thousands of them!

Never underestimate the stupidity and willingness to part with cash of the sweaty masses!

Because what makes coffee taste good is noise and steam. The ingredients are incidental.

I think I'll stick with my Jura.

I drink blend 43 but my hand/eye and spoon control means I can get the coffee in the cup nicely, and I know how to boil water. Saved myself $99!

Aeropress is about $50 and bloody good. I basically never use a stove top percolator anymore.

Thanks for that tip, it looks interesting! I'm using stove-tops at the moment.

Give one a go ysu. You won't be disappointed. Only needs a rinse under the tap when done to clean it too. So easy.

In a city like Melbourne and indeed the rest of oz , you would think the marketing arm would realise the futility of this idea.
