My brother in law wants to buy us a coffee maker for the villa and suggested a Nepresso coffee maker. That is a machine that has expensive capsules. Do you know if you can get the capsules in the CVO area? :roll: I thought he just meant one for making double expresso/latte and so on with ground cof...
