Nespresso 2% Exclusive
It was a night of exclusivity for Nespresso on that Friday, exclusive invite-only soiree for many celebrities and selected people. It’s not called the Nespresso 2% for no reason. Every Nespresso loving fan would have killed to have themselves invited for this event. It was a night of letting your hair loose and have unlimited coffee and delectable finger food.
Venue for the Nespresso 2% event was held at this quaint gallery hidden away on 28th Fevrier at Jalan Kilang, There was even a valet waiting to park your car when you arrive. All I can say is that it is only befitting for such an event like this.
They had this cute little game where you need to stack the capsules together to win a prize, I tried and I was the winner of this (NOT) I only manage a measly 3 stacked .. Su had like nine stacked .. I heard the REAL winner had 13 capsuled stacked back to back. Well I am sure he already had like 4 cups of espresso before his attempt
Food .. glorious food, ok don’t be drooling on your keyboard now
What really was cute was that they had built two counters with raw ingredients like Chocolate, pineapple bits, vanilla, rose essence, and the Nespresso Citiz machine standing by for you to make your coffee concoction, Cute barista was stationed to assist while you browse for all the Nespresso recipe on the screen available. Elysia choose the Ice Caramel Coffee with Caramel Drizzle. Taste like a Ice Caramel Machiato but with deeper coffee essence (just the way I like it)
for more delicious recipes you can always Nespresso
Vodka laced coffee.. or was it the other way round, for me to know for you to find out.
Nespressotini check out the video of how Mark prepares the Nespressotini
#slaphead I just realized that in the end of the video I can’t even remember the name of drink Mark was preparing which was Nespresso Martini after Seven One glass. Coffee and Alcohol are not meant to be paired together since I am a Nespress coffee and Absolut Vodka lover.
I swear I was only drinking coffee (That is all)
Jack and Rai party with us at the Nespresso event. would like to Thank Nespresso for providing this opportunity for having me at this wonderful event
This 2% was just the start of something even bigger, for more information do visit http://www.nespresso.com
Is coffee good for you?
Think that first cup of coffee in the morning is what gives you your get up and go? Think again. New UK research has shown coffee has no actual affect on alertness, suggesting instead that it’s all in the mind.
By Amanda Pitcher
The Bristol University study involved 379 people who were not allowed to drink coffee or consume caffeine for a 16-hour period, the UK’s Daily Mail reported. They were then either given coffee or a placebo and then evaluated through a series of tests on their mental alertness.
The researchers found people who were daily consumers of coffee develop a tolerance to caffeine and its side effects, including anxiety and stimulatory effects. They suggested that rather than coffee making regular drinkers feels more alert and awake first thing in the morning, it was instead reversing the effects of overnight caffeine-withdrawal.
Half of the study’s participants did not drink coffee or caffeinated beverages frequently, and the other half were described as medium to high users, the Daily Mail reported.
After fasting and then being delivered coffee or the placebo, participants were asked to rate their mental alertness, anxiety and any headaches.
Those who were medium or high consumers of coffee when given the placebo were found to have decreased in mental alertness and an increase in the chance of having a headache. Those who received caffeine did not report a change either way — suggesting instead that the coffee had only brought them back to “normal”.
“Our study shows that we don’t gain an advantage from consuming caffeine — although we feel alerted by it, this is caffeine just bringing us back to normal,” lead researcher Professor Peter Rogers said.
“On the other hand, while caffeine can increase anxiety, tolerance means that for most caffeine consumers this effect is negligible.”
The research will be published in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology.
Latest Australian Bureau of Statistics figures reveal Australians drink an average of 2.4kg of coffee a year, which is rising every year. We are still a long way behind Finland, however, who consume an astounding 11.2kg of coffee per year each.
A BIS Schrapnel report Coffee in Australia 2006-2008 found there were around 1.26 billion cups of coffee sold each year in the food service industry, which amounts to around $3 billion.
