Last Weekend I Fell in Love With Nespresso During My Stay At The Missoni Hotel in Kuwait

My Suite overlooking the Arabian Gulf.

Each suite at the Missoni Hotel in Kuwait has a Nespresso Machine.

There is also a tea kettle and abundant supplies for my guests.

My first request ~ for the Bellhop to make me an espresso.

The Bellhop called for backup when he found out I had visitors coming, "The Girls". :)

I haven't had the time to download the photographs and post about my weekend at the Missoni Hotel.  (Inshallah, I will very soon.)

I spent two nights there last weekend and tried all of their restaurants and the Six Senses spa.  I stayed in the two room suite which was simply amazing.  The view of the Arabian Gulf was beyond spectacular.  The one thing I had to have after my stay at the Missoni was my own Nespresso Machine. 

The night I arrived home (Saturday) this was waiting for me.

I also received a lifetime supply of espresso sleeves, brown sugar and limited edition Nespresso cups.

All I wanted was the simplest machine (espresso for blondes) but what I received instead was this all in one, spectacular model.

I need a closet just for my Nespresso sleeves!

Thank you to my Kuwaiti Santa for making my Nespresso dreams come true way before Christmas. ;)

Green Beans Coffee in Kuwait is Yucky Yuck!

Ramadan means that I am forced to drink Green Beans Coffee whenever I visit the US Camps in Kuwait. Usually when I have to go on base for a few hours I stop at one of my favorite coffee shops on the way. Since they are closed until the evening during the month of Ramadan I am forced to purchase a mediocre, palpitation inducing cup of Joe from Green Beans Coffee. Their coffee is bitter, too strong and sometimes it even has a foul odor. I've had to toss it in the trash more than once.

My biggest issue with Green Beans is that they do not offer any milk but whole milk. I'm a skim milk lover but I could settle for the occasional low fat milk. They do not even offer the customer a choice. And their milk is not even fresh, it's long life garbage. Their pastries are stale and tasteless. I would have to give Green Beans Coffee as a whole a rating of one star out of five. In Kuwait it’s just Yucky Yuck!
