Why won’t Nespresso just give me a chance?

I’m heartbroken.

If you have been reading my blogs since the beginning, then you know the highs and lows I’ve been through with Nespresso.

It hasn’t been easy, our journey together, but Nespresso has made positive comebacks in my life so I haven’t give up on them. Coffee is my greatest strength and possibly my most gentle weakness.

Gentle in the way a brief storm is — it makes me jittery and increases my anxiety for a certain period of time, then washes away within a few hours. Now that I’ve gotten to a good place with Nespresso, it seems I’ve lost it all again.

It’s my fault though. I had received these emails about a “Masterclass with Nespresso” and I decided that it probably comes with a cost (most likely a hit to my wallet) so I shouldn’t go.

I deleted that email.

About a week later, I received another email but I didn’t delete. I just let the email sit there in my mailbox, without even giving it a chance to be read.

Chances come and go like the wind and it’s so easy for them to slip away. I let this one slip away.

I went back to my inbox and scanned my emails quickly, but this time I decided to click open that Masterclass email. I wanted to know how much it costs. (On episode 3 of my podcast, I explain how I’m grounded from spending and on a mission to be as frugal as possible for 2025.)

I looked into each Masterclass set to take place in my city, Vancouver, and I am stunned from what I see. No dollar signs, no fees to get into a class, no nothing.

And what else do I see?

No availability for the ten Masterclasses listed. NONE.

I had to be “waitlisted”.

This word weighs heavy on me. I, the queen of Nespresso, must obey the waitlist and wait for the classes to magically open up. I, who drink coffee more than I drink water, must wait to hear about the Masterclass from those who signed up just to “try something new.”

I don’t know where this road will take me, this masterclass-less road, but I do know that I will not give up on this. I will be triumphant someday and be a part of this Nespresso class.

Truthfully, there isn’t much else I can do though. I can only hope that someone has to cancel, but if not then I hope Nespresso doesn’t leave me hanging on this waitlist forever and provides more classes.

I hope to update you all with better news, but in the meantime, listen to the latest episode of my podcast and let me know what you think. It’s a five minute story on the downfall of Australian soccer.
