i've been a researcher about, with, and for culinary R&D teams for over a decade — and i wrote a book about it (https://uncertaintymindset.org/) — so i'm rarely mystified by a gadget. but today i was mystified. this morning, i got sucked into a nespresso store by a demo of the vertuo and barista machines. vertuo is a pod machine that makes an espresso with what appears to be an enormous layer of crema. i find it very sus. and barista is an overdesigned frother that somehow produced a densely and stably microfoamed ice coffee with nothing but a vertuo espresso and some ice cubes. the creaminess and density of the foam from the barista machine (photo below) is deeply, deeply sus 🧐. anyone here know what's up with these machines and their absurd foaminess?

the pods probably have an industrial foaming agent added to them, the same crap they add into instant “crappuccino” sachets.
