You can tell a lot about a hotel room by its coffee maker. If it's a kettle and sachets of Nescafe, then fine, but I'll probably not be taking my coffee in my room unless things get desperate. Recently, I stayed at the fanciest hotel I've ever stayed at, and looking for my morning coffee fix, came across the Nespresso Creatista Plus by Sage (available here from Amazon) in the small pantry. It looked great within the space, and having never used it before, it felt like the perfect time to put to the Livingetc test.
Of course, it makes total sense for a hotel room, even one on this scale, to opt for a Nespresso machine like this over a traditional espresso maker. You don't always want the hassle of calling for room service each time you want a caffeine fix, and these machines are easy to use, even for the uninitiated, producing very good coffee with very little work. Having used Nespresso machines before with a varying success rate, I'd say the Nespresso Creatista Plus by Sage is easier to use than most. It veritably holds your hand through making the coffee in a way that only a much more expensive machine would usually, so there's little guesswork in getting the type of coffee you want.
