It’s a crap ad, and I kind of want to punch George Clooney in the face– but it actually makes really good coffee; to be fair. I was totally skeptical myself. It’s a gimmicky product, and I hate the fact that you have to pay for capsules– great way to continue getting revenue and forcing you to use the machine– extortion at it’s best. That said, my friend is a pompous twat and has one of these, and I have to say it was the best coffee outside of Italy I have ever had, sadly. It was beautifully rich, frothy and creamy. It pains me to say so, I wish I hadn’t liked it. And I know coffee, my whole family knows coffee– we are Italian.

Come reclam fa schifo, pero’ devo dire che questa machinetta fa un buon caffe. Che delusione. Non vorrei comprarla.

Have actually met women who bought the machine because they loved the adverts – so they achieved what they were meant to achieve – good for them!

OK so the first time there’s only one capsule left,but the second time there’s plenty,so why does he still blank the girl ? That’s just plain rude.Or (whisper it gently) is Mr Clooney on the other bus ?

Didn’t George advertise some other ghastly product a few years ago. Campari maybe? Either way he’s obviously got bills to pay. Probably for the upkeep of his new beard. Or his motor boat on Lake Como.

I don’t find the ad that annoying actually. What I would love to know is what is a Nespresso. I’ve never seen one for sale anywhere? Only those Tasimo jobbies and something called a Dolce Gusto – which I also thought was made by Nescafe. I’m rambling now. I’ll just go an put the kettle on….

And what is with the “Sir” George Clooney? As far as I can see it there are only two options:

1. They blew all their money on “Sir” George and couldn’t afford a writer who makes sense.

2. They blew all their money on “Sir” George and couldn’t afford to re-record and redub a z-list actress/model’s single fluffed line.

If you believe all the guff on this page:

then apparently she is saying “Mr” George Clooney, but even if this is the case even someone with only half and ear could tell it did not come out that way and needed to be re-done.

Very lazy.

P.S. Who else thinks thomasBG from Sofia on the above page is not working for Nescafe?

There’s something about the phrase “froth your own milk” that comes across as vaguely sexual…

I’ve set up a group on Facebook called ‘Shame on George Clooney’.
Couldn’t ruddy believe it when I saw the ad. What a twat. He am a twat…

Oi, those machines are like, well cool, innit.

(is that how chavs speak nowadays?)

Anyway, chavs can’t afford the EXTORTIONATE price of the capsules. 50p for a coffee and you still have to froth your own milk?!
