I have a timeshare week down in deepest darkest Cornwall at the Clowance Estate. Yve and I bought a week here back in 1986 when it just opened and it has been a great little bolt hole at the end of summer. One small down side last time I was there was the lack of a decent coffee maker and I was stuck on instant all week.
So one of the first things I packed for coming down this time was my Nespresso coffee machine. No more instant for me.
I have had the Nespresso for a while now and love the coffee it produces. It’s very quick and gives consistent quality.
Resulting in a perfect cup every time. Even if you are on your third cup before breakfast.
The large selection of coffees is very good to with single country brews as well as some great blends for specialist tastes.
Well Hive coffee addicts it may seem an odd thing to take but believe me a week drinking instant is no fun at all.
Hello @diveratt,
We're Looking forward to seeing you soon;-)
Have a great day!
Thanks for that
Awesome post. May I indulge in a couple of questions if you don't mind?
Question 1: Timeshares.. is it actually worth it? I guess if it's a place you can get to every year, then yes. I've been offered this sort of thing virtually every time I went on holiday to Spain or Italy. It's always an international location from England though so I've always thought it wasn't worth it. 1986 is long time ago!! :)
Question 2: I've been eyeing that Nespresso coffee machine for a while. I've always backed down because of the ongoing cost of capsules. Kind of feels like buying a printer and having to buy ink from the same company. Does it take 3rd Party pods? If it does, I may invest in one of them.
many thanks.
1 CLowance has worked for me over the years I have only ever swapped out twice once to go to the States and one to the Canaries. It is now owned by a company called Seasons and not strictly timeshare as buying into that system gives you access to a number of resorts around the UK. The big down side of time share was always the ongoing maintenance charges which do rack up over the years. Personally I’ve had some great times down in Clowance
2There are a few company’s that make 3rd party pods for the Nespresso Ive tried a few. You can also get a reuseable pod that you can fill with your own coffee. The Nespresso pods work out at around 10p each and there is a huge selection so not so bad in the long run.
That's awesome! I had no idea. Cool thank you for the responses 🙏
I ever thought that I have to have one the nespresso coffee machine to...
Hello @diveratt,
Nice looking cottage!
I think Nespresso coffee is more in keeping with it, than instant.
Consistent good quality is one of the perks of the Nespresso machines, and the variety of flavours available of course.
I hope you've calculated the number of pods, so you don't run out, or need to lessen your daily intake.
Enjoy your time and the coffee of course;-)
I think I'll be fine with 120 cups for the week :)
only 120?
I’ve always wanted to have my own nespresso machine. Im just curious of something. Does the infamous tiktok hack on the pods really work? They just fill in the empty pods and place an aluminom foil to cover it.
Never tried it pods are cheap enough and great coffee
