Is it me or does the grind size of the yellow capsule's contents look bigger?
They claim that they adjust the grind size of certain pods differently depending on the roast and characteristics they are trying to achieve.

Just think if b1os comments on how much nespresso sucks again, I get naked and start yelling about third wave espresso. I think the Rapture might then occur.
If "first wave" was, umm... just a regular coffee.
And "second wave" was "holy shit, we can add some frothy milk to coffee and charge 5 times as much."
And "third wave" is "holy holy shit, do you know how expensive milk is? Screw that, drop the milk and just print the name of some guy's farm on the bag. We can charge whatever we want!"
What can we expect from "fourth wave"? Grow your own beans?
The yield of a coffee tree is pretty small, the best beans are produced only in certain kinds of terrain and weather along with specific farming needs, and you will still need to mill the beans after you harvest the cherries, so growing your own is pretty damned hard. As an experiment, Thom from Sweet Maria's did this a while ago and documented it all. I think his tree yielded enough to make 1 cup of coffee after a year, and it apparently tasted terrible.
1st wave: Folgers, and other supermarket coffee, etc. Coffee as a caffeine-delivery vehicle.
2nd wave: Starbucks & Peets. Coffee is a thing in and of itself.
3rd wave: depends on who you ask, but it's basically an awareness of the entire process of growing a tree all the way to your cup.
