Win a Nespresso Pixie Espresso Machine

I have a brand new unopened Nespresso Pixie espresso machine to give to one of you guys. I’ll also throw in a pretty big box of coffee capsules, a new Nespresso Aeroccino Plus and coffee tumbler cup.

All you’ll have to do is follow me on Twitter and retweet my tweet about this contest (as seen below). I’ll pick a winner a week from now. Prize will be for pickup in Manhattan or Brooklyn.

I’ve had one of these Nespresso Pixies for a year now. It’s super quick to heat up and start using …in under 30 seconds.

You should read about the first time I had eight Nespresso espressos in one night …and the more recent time when I drank eight more with Padma.

Padma Lakshmi @ Nespresso Event

Last year, Nespresso gave me about eight espressos to drink in two hours. I thought I was cutting back this time around, but I think I drank about the same amount.

Padma Lakshmi was on-hand to take us on a tour around the world. We sat as if we were in an airplane and watched videos and people talk. I really don’t know what any of that was about. I was so wired. I didn’t know what was going on. I’m glad they fed me food …as I can see in the photos.

I really do like this Nespresso espresso. It tastes good and I keep drinking it. I don’t think it’s as dangerous as bath salts.

All the espressos got me wired and up all night. I didn’t know what to do, so I made this mashup of Carley Rae Jepsen and Radiohead around three in the morning.

My first stab at animated gifs:

Padma is even beautiful acting like she’s eating a cookie.

ALSO… They gave me another Nespresso machine (same one I already have). So I’ll be giving it away with EXTRAS to one of you lucky readers. Stay tuned. It’ll probably be a Twitter thing. I just need to figure out how to log in first.

I Drank Eight Espressos and I’m Wasted

I went to a Nespresso event at the Nespresso Boutique in Soho. A really chic looking place. They were showing off their new Pixie espresso machine. The thing is ready to squirt you out some as quick as 25 seconds from pluggin it in. That sounds crazy.

What’s crazy is they didn’t cut me off after drinking so many espressos. Plus they gave me a bunch of food that had espresso in it. The guacamole had espresso in it. Even a mojito with espresso, which was surprisingly good. I was doing shots and double shots of #10’s and 9’s (intensity level). I rarely drink coffee, so I clearly don’t know what I’m doing. I think I must’ve had the equivalent of eight espressos in a two hour period. Then as I was walking out, everyone was trying to get me to eat candy.

What happens when you drink eight espressos? I remember harassing the Nespresso Boutique employees with a bunch of questions about stuff (I don’t remember if it was about coffee), I went home and listened to the same song on repeat for 30 minutes and was in the bathroom until 4am. At least the espressos tasted good.

TV’s Ted Allen hosted the event and British pop singer, Pixie Lott performed a lovely acoustic set. I was so buzzed, they probably thought I was a crackhead that walked in from the street.

Pixie Lott was great. I just wish they cut me off at the Nesp... on Twitpic
