  1. Compared to the Nespresso pods they taste pretty crap, I did only try two of their pods so maybe I was a little unfair to say they suck. Trying the original nespresso pods I just feel that ethical coffee pods are not in the same league. It also seemed as if the lever/cover on the machine was harder to close with ethical pods
  2. I wanted to this year but chose to redo the "Hill1Hill" with the mates to make up for last years triathlon. Had my brake calipers off from 15km in and cable tied to the bike because they were "binding". Rode as much as possible, ran the down hills and swam the river crossing
  3. For those of you that have a nespresso machine and are thinking of trying "ethical pods"... DON'T! They suck!
  4. Did last year and will be back this year, I need to reclaim my name by beating my time of 6h21m for the 45km ????
  5. Just a quick question for the Nespresso lovers. I have bought a second hand Nespresso Essenza, I am now experimenting with how much espresso vs how much milk makes an awesome cup of coffee and I see you can program the machine as to how many ml of coffee is made when you push the button. Is the factory setting good enough or should I fiddle with this to get the most out of each pod? Cheers!
  6. Awesome! Just trying to squeeze in as many practice runs for us JHB people.
  7. Does the trail cross the road near the top middle or bottom? (holding thumbs for middle or top) maybe we can shuttle to a point before the trails cross the road if its far enough up to make it worth while? That should be me and my questions done
  8. Awesome! Any luck with that shuttle route for practice next Friday?
  9. Sooo.... Any more vids that can be posted? How is the timing going to be done Mr. Hicks?
  10. No idea I have only just bought them. Haha
  11. I am new to nespresso so I actually have no idea what flavors I want, which brand is it? I would mind finding Out what your mate has tho.
  12. I just picked some up at "@homelivingspace", they seem more or less the same price as nespresso so its really just more convenient for those not close to sandton.
  13. Has anyone here tried the Ethical pods? They claim that's its the exact same product as the Nespresso pods (due to a loop hole in the patent) and that they are designed by the ex CEO of nespresso.
  14. Fixed
  15. Aaah! Do they sell pods tho and not just machines? by what I was told when I phoned the boutique it sounded like they won't let any store besides for themselves stock pods...
  16. Gave the store in sandton a call and they said they are the only shot in the province.
  17. Hi guys, looking to buy my first nespresso pods. Anyone know where I can buy pods in the east?
  18. Hi guys, I just need some advice, I am looking to better home coffee. At the moment I have instant coffee, I am not looking for the best cup of coffee in the world just a decent cup. I have these two options: 1: caffelux pod machine 6months old in perfect condition (from a hubber). To be used with nespresso pods. 2: nespresso essenza apparently just over a year old (off gumtree). I'm guessing most will say the nespresso machine I am just concerned about the state of the "I hardly used it" machine. Gumtree also bugs me a bit with electronic items. What should I do here?
  19. Pitty, I have had to give the 27th a skip when I thought about the date
  20. Could also be that from 2014 all spesh are 29". Not too sure.
  21. That is a sweet deal considering the retail price on the stumpy comp is 28k! Which store is this? Wouldn't mind giving them a call to ask about specials on an Alu stumpy.
  22. I'm not sure if they are making a 26" camber anymore, I didn't ask. I would say get a second hand stumpy. I bought a 2007 stumpy frame which I built up and man it gets punished! It's been down a few downhill tracks, a free ride track, normal XC. It is such a fun bike!
  23. Neh, they didn't have many left.
