I love the smell of espresso in the morning! The Nespresso is working out quite well. No mess, no fuss. And all of these colored pods? I just go with black, a 10 on the scale of darkness. ...

It’s easy these days to see U2 for what they are: a rock juggernaut of epic proportion. If once they were purely about music—if politically charged—now they are about the higher order, global good, and cultural impact.

Good morning, and once again come join me with some no-holds-barred conversation over espresso. Please ignore the mooing cows.

Same as last week. The only difference this time is I’m drinking the strong stuff thanks to Nespresso. It saves ...

You know the expression, if you want to get a point across you need to make it three times? Or something like that. Don’t forget: Sunday morning, over espresso I must remind you anything I say here must ...
