Très Chic, the new CITIZ model

Are you a Nespresso user? Do multi-coloured pods crowd your cupboards? Are you tired of getting your coffee by mail? If so you'll be thrilled to hear Nespresso has just opened their latest boutique in Montreal.

Though there are already Nespresso counters at The Bay in Vancouver and Toronto, Montreal has been chosen as the first Canadian city to boast a Nespresso Boutique Bar where you'll find machines, coffee pods, cups, chocolates, milk frothers, and even espresso-scented candles.

The Nespresso system doesn't come cheap, machines start at $200 and count on 50 cents per capsule (which equals one shot of espresso) but the results are excellent. And the system is a cinch to operate and super stylish.

You can check out the machines and taste the coffees at the spiffy new boutique at 2045 Crescent, near de Maisonneuve. Opening hours are 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday to Wednesday.; 9 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday; 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Sunday.

Here are some more images from yesterday's opening:
