    The espresso machines filter holder looks like it is meant to be used with the capsules from underneath. A bit sad to see how much single-use plastics some teams use even in the Bus where they could have a dishwasher or anything like that.

    • @domestik834
      @domestik834 Pƙed 5 lety +17

      @@Grunge_Cycling That is good marketing. When I visit a race here in the liĂšge area, I always look out to collect bottles. Until now I wasn't successful because others already did the same. Bottles are not a big problem. But gel packages etc. are, because they won't get collected. But some races already forbid to litter in certain areas, that's a good way, but not perfect. But on the road it is difficult to substitute single-use plastics. Not every rider is as dedicated as adam hansen and puts the gels in gel-bootle. In the Buses on the other hand they could use unpacked sugar cubes, fresh milk instead of these small packages etc. etc.

      Being a traditional espresso machine kind of guy, I can't imagine the mess that would develop around that espresso machine with all the riders, mechanics, coaches, guests, VIPs, etc. coming in to use it all the time. If they were using loose ground coffee, they would have to have somebody dedicated to cleaning the machine and the area several times a day over the course of 3 VERY busy weeks.
      In a scenario like this, where so much time and resource is invested, I think it is acceptable to use the disposable pods. You want the bus to be as nice and as clean and as accommodating as possible during the course of the race to help keep the rider's and the staff's spirits up.

      @@chriscoppersmith7762 you have a point. but there are teams that use ground coffee. I think it's trek-segafredo and I think it is because segafredo doesn't produce pods. You have to clean it, but if you place it near the water tap it is only a quick whipe with a wet towel.

    I like Merida frame color, but I cant buy this bike with "Bahrain" logo. I can't! This is against my mind. In europe I can ride only with european or american logos and names.
