Hi Sterling! It’s been over a year since your last video and I still miss you and this channel so much! Whenever nespresso drops a new pod, I instantly think about your channel and wish that you were still doing reviews because your channel is my favorite! I hope you and your family are doing well! 😊 please consider coming back!
I just joined the Nespresso “family” and discovered your channel. I love your enthusiasm, attention to detail, and balanced reviews. I just viewed this last video. Totally understandable that you had to pause your channel, but I sure hope to see your return! Thanks for all your videos!
Sterling, YOU FAILED NOTHING. UA-cam failed you... you were a shining light for thousands during dark times. Please find a way to do something coffee related, as I can see the joy it gives you and your wife. Do it for the joy and the memories built together and for everyone else, For whenever you are ready, I can’t wait to see you again brother ❤️
I'm so sorry to hear this, Sterling. This obviously hurt you quite a bit. I'm usually a lurker but I did enjoy your videos and you were a nice diversion from my crazy work which doesn't leave me with much free time (work in healthcare). You are genuine, funny and upbeat. Don't lose that to a weirdly fickle thing like UA-cam. Hope to see you again some time. All the best for the future.
I just found your channel this evening, and this is so sad to watch. I enjoy your very in-depth and informative reviews of Nespresso capsules. Subscribing in case you decide to come back. 🙂 ☕️☕️☕️
Dear Sterling, I really appreciate the love and genuine compassion you have for coffee and your channel. I’m sorry you are feeling so down and I hope with time, if you want, you will come back. You are the first and only channel I go to when there is a new Nespresso pod that launches and I want to watch a review or when I am having a hard day, getting to come home at night and put on a video from you that is light hearted and joyful is lovely even if it’s from a while ago. It always leaves me with a sense of calm and happiness. I hope you know that you have not failed. I think this year has been extremely tiring and not without challenges. I honestly think that lower view counts, revenue or participation is not a reflection on you or your content, but simply has to do with what we are living through at the moment. I personally have found this year hard and finding the time to participate in fun things like your videos or contests unfortunately did not get to happen as much as I would have liked. I’m certain that can be said for many of your other subscribers as well. Thank you for all the content you have created and for the passion and kindness you brought to each video. I have loved them and am sorry to see you go. I like to think of you as the “father of coffee” and will be thinking of you when I sit down to have my next cup-of joe, via Nespresso of course ;) I wish you and your wife the best, and hope you know, you will be greatly missed.
Nicely written Katie. I wholeheartedly agree with every word. It’s like that old saying - you don’t know what you have until it’s gone. Let’s raise a Nespresso glass and toast Sterling. Until next time…
Just saw some new nespresso flavors, and immediately came to check if you were back. Will continue to hold hope you'll return - your fans miss you ipon :(
I'm a Dr. and for approx. a year, I saw literally no one except patients/coworkers at the hospital. I looked forward to your videos each week as a bright spot in my life. I would watch them and rewatch them over and over while I drank my coffee. It's no exaggeration to say your videos helped me get through the pandemic. I didn't realize you were getting paid by youtube, not sure how that works. I would enjoy watching even the occasional informal video of you sitting with a cup of coffee and just stating your opinion on it-- could be a 2 minute thing. Of course do what's right for you, just a suggestion. Thanks for your time, Sterling.
I’m shocked and very saddened. This channel was a highlight for me. I’m actually lost for words. I’m sorry you had to make this decision. And you haven’t failed. This year has been very difficult for so many people, and you were a bright spot through all this craziness. You will be greatly missed. Love to you and your family.
Hate seeing this Sterling, but understand your decision. Hopefully this video will help some of the casual viewers like myself speak up a bit, and you're able to see the joy & happiness that you spread with these videos. Obviously lower engagement stats are tough, but your content is evergreen - I often go back and watch old videos if I'm considering a new blend, KNOWING you'll have a video reviewing it (that will also make me smile in the process). I really do pray that you come back, but if it is the end, be proud in what you built. You were being hard on yourself, but think about how much you've learned & grown in the last 3 years. Didn't expect to start my day with tears, but I wish you & your family the best.
I'm still incredibly sorry you're not making any more videos. It's been a whole year and I still miss you!! Just know you didn't fail at all. I hope you're doing amazingly. Much love from Argentina (look how far you've got!!).
I am so sad to hear this. I have been a silent watcher for over a year. I always look forward to watching your videos and you are the only You Tube channel I faithfully pulled up every week to watch. Thank you for all of the great videos. I will miss your posts more than you know.
Thank you for every minute you shared with us. As someone who once turned a hobby into something that brought in extra revenue, I see you, and I understand this hurt. I’ve been on a “hiatus” from that work for over 3 years. As much as I loved both what I created and accomplished, the pressure and expectation to capture that magic every time just weighed too heavy on me. I’m happier now, despite having even less time to dabble back into it. I do miss it though. I was originally going to write a comment about what you could do to keep your channel fresh, but the truth is, you don’t owe us anything. You have to do what makes you happy, even if that makes our Friday’s a little less sterling. Right now, all you need to know is that you are not a failure. What you created is special. And even amid the madness of our own lives, you were heard.
I’m so so heartbroken for you! I remember deeming you my mister rogers of coffee because I trusted and looked forward to your reviews and it felt like family around here! Please let us know if there’s anything we can do to support you, if subscribing to your patreon would help I’m sure more casual watchers would be more than willing. I hope there is a future because you will definitely be sorely missed ❤️
This is terrible! I’ve watched your videos for two years, and I based so many of my coffee purchases on your reviews. For me, your videos were part of the excitement of every new or seasonal coffee release. I honestly don’t know if I will enjoy my machine as much without your hype and enthusiasm. I understand your decision, but I am at a loss for words. Thank you for all of the great videos and for the hard work you put into creating them. I hope to see you return in the future.
I am so sorry to hear you are leaving. I really do adore your channel and it is one of my favourites. I am from the UK and if I was in the US I would have entered the competition. I really do appreciate all your work, and your channel will be very missed. Take care and hopefully see you around again
Sterling I'm so sorry that this has happned to you. Please dont feel any guilt. Your videos always made me laugh and they way you expressed yourself would always put a smile on my face and to see you so sad and in tears breaks my heart. I just want you know that we will always be here for you regradless how long it takes for you to come back and even if you start to make new content WE ARE HERE FOR YOU! I really do hope at some point in the future you can come back and I can see that laugh and smile again.
I’m so sorry, Sterling. This obviously was a painful video for you to make. I hope you’ll return at some time if it’s right for you. All the best in 2022. Edit: Yours was the first and only channel I joined right after purchasing my Nespresso. Please, please don’t take this YT creator experience as a personal defeat, YT is a difficult platform and the world is in a rough place. You’ve brought smiles and education to so many. Please take that with you when you leave and know that someone clear across the country in Minnesota cares.
Hi Sterling I just want to thank you for all your videos and content you have put on UA-cam. I started watching your videos in March 2020 when the pandemic hit and they really got me through. You are always so cheerful and full of positivity that it brightened my day. I’ve recently moved to London and I’ve been watching your videos to help me through as they are comforting and familiar. I also have a nespresso shop not far away now. Please reconsider ending the videos and the channel. I think reading others comments a lot of people quietly watched without getting involved, which is what I do but they still mean a lot to me. You’ve spent a lot of time, money and effort putting the channel together and it really is appreciated so thank you again.
This is heartbreaking to see, Sterling. For whatever it's worth, please know that you never failed! Your videos have always been a go-to for me for everything Nespresso related. You did what most of us could never imagine doing, and the fact that you came so far is a huge win!! I'm hoping that this is just a temporary setback, and that something much better will come out of this! Once again, love your content, love your style and enthusiasm! Your videos will truly be missed!
watched 5 of your videos today, enjoyed your style, and would have enjoyed continuing to watch your videos. I hope life finds you well today. I'm sorry UA-cam failed you as they have failed many, in that you are not alone. Until possibly one day in the future, take care.
Hi, Sterling! I hope this comment finds you one day. I'm new to the Nespresso world, therefore I am very late to the discovery of your channel, but I have to say, that I use your content as a bible. It's my only reliable source of buying coffee (it's a big deal for me because I am the type to spend hours researching and looking up reviews before I buy a product online). It's unfortunate that the experience on your end was not as the way you hoped, but for some of us, it's a complete savior. It's a breath of fresh air- it's honest, quirky, more insightful and helpful over all other content alike. I love watching you and your videos, it's great stuff! You're the only one I trust when it comes to Nespresso pods, and I though I am new, I am truly sad to learn about your leaving. I hope all is well, and I hope you are getting everything you wish for out of life.
Sorry to hear this, Sterling. I’ve been an avid viewer the last couple of years and I really enjoyed your content. Everyone appreciates all the work that you and your wife put into this channel, and while I know it’s difficult, I hope you never think that it was a failure. If anything, from the comments already here, it was definitely the opposite. Hoping to see you around here sometime. Wishing you and your family good health and a very happy new year.
I'm so sad to hear this :( but I'm sure we'll all welcome you back with open arms if/when you return 🥰 I have thoroughly enjoyed watching all your videos! I got my Nespresso Vertuo back in May and went back and watched all your videos when I discovered your channel 🥰 you will be greatly missed! I don't often comment (other than in the 2 lives) but I look forward to your videos every week! Take care! Christine xxx
Omg... this channel just came to my mind. UA-cam never updated me to your videos so I would always check manually even with the bell highlighted. I can not believe this... I was so always genuinely entertained and I've bought so many of your recommendations that I've come to love and use daily. I'll miss you man surely. I really feel this in my chest ☹️😞
Hey Sterling. I'm so sorry to hear this. I may have been a subscriber late to the show, but I remember what it was that made me sub to your patreon. I watched your Il Caffe video and you mentioned the recipe with the Hershey's chocolate syrup. I'm so glad we have that syrup over here in the UK, because I went out of my way to grab a bottle of the syrup, and grab a sleeve of Il Caffe the next day to try out that recipe you shared in that video. My very first sip of it and I immediately fell in love with it. That's what made me want to support you, because you opened me up to a pod that I wouldn't have ever tried, and now I have been making that exact same recipe every single day since then. Just know that you have so many people that love to watch your videos, I don't usually comment on videos on UA-cam in general, that's why this would be my first on your videos, and I'm sure that's the same with many of your other viewers. It sucks that you've had to make that decision, but if you ever do come back to make more videos, just know you'll definitely still have a subscriber here. Thank you for all the videos you've done :)
I never posts comments on UA-cam but felt I had to here. Thank you so much for all the effort you and your wife have put into this channel, it's been a great source of joy and entertainment to me recently, and I hope you know there's no failure in doing your best. Wishing you great things for 2022 and hope to see you on here sometime again!
Every beginning has an end an every Alfa has its Omega, but I (and I am sure others) will surely miss you every Friday morning. There are other great Nespresso channels out there but yours was my favorite. Great video editing, funny unbiased reviews and not too many "iced coffee" recipes (I like my coffee hot, lol). I'd noticed a couple of other Nespresso youtubers stopping making videos, so don't know if this is a trend, but you had the courage to say goodbye instead of just disappearing. Thanks for that. So, dear friend, until the next one, have a "beautiful rest of the year" with your loved ones.
I really miss your videos. You were my go to for Nespresso reviews. I was saddened by this video and really hope you reconsider. You have so many fans that love you and this channel. Hope you and your family are doing well ❤
Sterling, Ipon70 epitomizes knowledge, humour, good will, professionalism, Joy, and ....YOU. As a patron I can only repeat the dozens of comments here, saying I will miss you and your delivery of these great UA-cam presentations. I am sorry it has taken so long to check back in with you, I honestly thought you were just taking a bit of hiatus. I think all of us subscribers watch and connect with you in our own way and it's the cycle of our lives that cause the ebb and flow back to our favourite UA-camrs(of which you are first in my line!). Good Luck to you and your future endeavors and God willing, you will come back to us in time. Please hold your head high, 7000+ subscribers can't be wrong !! You've touched each and every one of us ! Cheers Sterling, time to go brew a cup :-)
I'm so grateful for you. Thank you for your body of work and the joy in every cup of coffee you shared with the world. Your videos became more than a coffee review. You created a welcoming space for people of any age and creed to join you in exploring a new taste together. Thank you
I was stacked with nespresso all year and just ran out recently and came back to your channel for reviews of more recent flavors. And I see this. I don’t usually type comments but I feel for you. I only trusted your reviews, completely honest here. You never failed. Just think of the thousands of people you helped that you’re not even aware of. UA-cam is a corporate greedy devil in our times. For you, better things to come, God willing. Take care my friend.
This breaks my heart 😞and I’m so sorry it had to come to this. I have always enjoyed and looked forward to your videos and watched them every week. I referred to you to everyone as my “Nespresso Guy” lol and you always helped me to decide which pods to get. When I first bought my Nespresso, your videos were the first I found because I was so lost in knowing which pods to buy. You helped me a lot over the past year and a half. Shame on UA-cam for lack of support, you are amazing and I completely understand your decision. Will miss your videos for sure! You are most definitely not a failure and based on these comments, you’ve helped so many people. Thank you for everything!
Hi Sterling, I've been watching your channel for about a year now and regretfully never once commented. My wife discovered your channel when looking up reviews of Nespresso flavors and got me onto it. I can honestly say that I loved your reviews. They were always spot on and, at times, even encouraged me to try a flavor that I might otherwise not have. I often watched your videos while preparing for my morning classes (I'm a teacher) and they inspired me to get creative with my morning drink that would get me through the daunting task of teaching in a pandemic. This year, I've been going through the stresses of working through a pressure cooker of a pandemic and it's certainly placed a stress on my shoulders, like everyone else who is in this situation. With this, I think that people have become disconnected from the simple things in life that brought them joy, things like watching an awesome video about something that we all truly love; coffee. The videos for you were clearly more than just a revenue source. They're a part of who you are. They are your passion project. They're your window of expression in an online world which you showed and encouraged people to "go brew a cup" and stop for a minute to just sip and enjoy. You demonstrated a great deal of passion and care in what you did and I don't think that a single viewer could argue otherwise. Regardless of the revenue stream, regardless of contest entries, regardless of viewership; one thing is certain; you did not fail. I would like to personally thank you for the hours of entertainment and enjoyment. Your videos will surely be missed. I'll continue to always follow and be on alert for any new videos, eager to check them out if you are making them again. Until then, don't ever stop creating and don't ever stop brewing.
I found your channel after my friend gave me her old(er) Vertuo machine - I was looking for a source of reliable reviews for what to buy and try, and the search stopped with you. I shared your videos with my friend and she loved them too! Thank you for all the love and heart you put into your channel. You (and your wife behind the camera) have such a kind, genuine, and humorous presence, and I think that’s what makes your videos so beloved by many. I think building a community online is really difficult, pandemic or not, and (not saying these are your feelings but from what I’ve seen in other cases) it seems like sometimes the pressure to perform or succeed can overshadow the simpler joy of the earlier days. Though some of us may not have been active participants, please know that you have brought a lot of joy to our lives that we are truly grateful for. We (I think I can say that based on all the other comments) will support you in whatever decision you make, and I hope that whatever you choose will make you feel happy and fulfilled - you deserve it.
OMG! I’m so sorry to hear this. It’s a bummer cause I REALLY ENJOYED AND LOOKED FORWARD to your reviews. I will dearly miss them. Hopefully you will return soon.
Sorry to hear this and I totally get it. You were the first person I watched nespresso coffee reviews right after I got my vertuo plus in July. You have a great personality and I love your videos. Good luck with whatever you decided to do with this channel. I don't know how you managed to do it this long, it's hard to be a content creator and all the time it takes to make these videos......let's go brew a shot!!!
I’m so sorry to hear this! You are the person who inspired me to try different pods I probably wouldn’t have and different flavor combinations for those pods. It’s tough all the way around right now. Wishing you the best and hoping to see you back around the UA-camverse very soon!
Hey Sterling just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of people saying PLEASE COME BACK. We realized we were spending about $130 a month on pods so we cut way back but I'd still love to see some reviews. There is no one else like you on youtube. You have the perfect mix of wholesomeness, humor, and expert tasting notes and observations. I don't even really drink Nespresso anymore but I'd watch anything you released. I tried the pumpkin spice in the store the other day and I thought about you. I imagined you not liking it but then making it into a drink with some milk and sweetener and then liking it. I'm still wearing my podhead shirt and my mother in law (whose memory is failing) loves it and asks me who it is every time she sees it. Anyway enough rambling. If you're ever in Minnesota the first cup is on me!!
I loved watching your videos everyday Friday morning. Usually I would just listen to them while I started work for the day. I loved hearing the excitement in your voice and you could tell how genuine you are. I belong to a Facebook group and so many members are sad to see you go. You are the first person I started watching when I ordered my nespresso machine almost a year ago. I knew nothing about nespresso until I started watching your videos. I even went back and watched a lot of the older videos too. You will be missed.
Sterling I am so sorry to hear this. My heart goes out to you in what I know was one of the hardest decisions you had to make. I hope that one day you’ll come back and when you do, we’ll be right here waiting for you, right where we left off. Best of luck to you and your wife Sterling. Until we meet again ❤️💔
i never post anything nor participate in any contest but i was watching every video you post….i understand the time and work needed to have a channel running so yeah just know that we were always watching even if we are in the shadow….in the end if you come back to it for you and for the fun of it…..if not enjoy you new free time!!
I just discovered you, and now you're gone. My heart weaps and mourns tonight. All I want for Christmas is for You to come back. I want to wake up one morning and see a notification that you have uploaded a new video. My wife and I have talked tonight, and we have agreed to both help you in any way, shape, or form to help this channel. You were ahead of your time. We need you. The World NEEDS YOU! Please. 🙏
Wait! What. Sterling this is devastating news. You taught me about Nespresso world. A world I knew nothing about. Your bright welcome to another. (All of that good stuff in between). And Enjoy the rest of your day. Made me enjoy my cup even more. I brought my son a Nespresso vertuo for Christmas a couple years ago. He let sit for three weeks at that point I don’t know whether to take it back. So I decided to open set it up and go on YT. The moment you came on I had seat I was hooked and been enjoying you every since. Your laughter, the bloopers, your wife the taste tester, artist and camera person. Your mother or in law. Your brother in law. The beautiful dogs.Thank you for sharing your family with this pod head. You go and reset for however long it takes. I’ll be checking in. We have enough content to last until you come back. The newbies will gain valuable insight as how it works. Drop in sometime let’s us know y’all are doing. .
Damn. I'm sorry to see you go. I hope one day that you'll come back! I loved your channel, it was really relaxing and fun to watch. You have a charismatic personality & sense of humor which is very uplifting. And your reviews always helped me find which coffee to get.
You have made my coffee journey so much fun. You will be missed so much . Thank you for always making us smile and providing great videos. Hope to see you back again in some form in the future.
I am so sorry man to hear that. You were the reason i bought my vertuo machine , i hope and wish all the best for you and thank you for all these great reviews!!
Since starting drinking coffee in December I've gone over all your videos to see best recipie ideas. Could only imagine your videos for some of the new summer coffee!!
I'm so sorry to hear this Sterling. I was looking forword to Friday to watch your video. I must admit I didn't watch all of them lately but I'm still sad I won't be able to watch your videos :( Hopefully you'll be makeing new videos soon. All the best in 2022. Keep your head high mate. You are one of the reasons I got my Nesspresso Vertuo. Hopefully see you soon
Oh Sterling. I'm so sorry. I've thoroughly enjoyed watching your videos and I hope you can come back one day on some platform or another. It truly isn't fair and you deserve to feel more valued. Good luck with the future of 2022 and I hope you find something else to funnel your coffee passion into this year!
I love your videos!!! I watch them all. That stinks, UA-cam! Im so sorry to hear this. I appreciate your fun enthusiastic and sincere reviews. I can't even imagine the time and money you put into your videos. I really hope to see you again. Im not one for putting pictures of myself and my stuff out there, but if you ever do videos again, I'll enter a contest with photos.
Hi bro, I'm from Mexico and I rely on your videos everytime I buy a new capsule from my vertuo line. Thanks for all the tasting you made, and I understand your feelings about being a failure but you have to understand that this is a small community that is growing up and you were one of those pillars. Just see the comments, all the people that comment that are from other countries and doesn't even talk English that well. You are a great UA-camr, I can see the growth you had and I know you feel it to. Its better to have a small faithful community than a bigger uninterested one. Thank you for the vids you made and I hope you can came back, we will be here.
Wow - just hopped on UA-cam to search up some new pods. There is a black void left on here without you. I’ll for sure miss your content. Best of luck and hope one day you come back.
Man you didn’t fail , UA-cam algorithms are weird and have a lot to do with traction on the videos. You’re genuineness makes you a pleasure to watch. I subscribed and turned notifications on in hopes one day I get a notification sent to my phone you post another video . Until then , thanks for all of the great content. Cheers ☕️
I was hunting through UA-cam to find your reviews of the new Liminha pods. It was tough to find your reviews (usually they pop up on the feed without searching for your channel). Seeing this video I now understand… I guess I haven’t been buying pods lately, but slowly working through my stash. I’m sad not to have your input anymore. Thanks for showing us our interactions are valuable, if nothing else just to validate hard work. Hope you’re doing well.
It is because of you that I bought a Nespresso machine and have bought so many different Pods. I have truly enjoyed watching your videos. Since you are my uncle and we live across the country from each other, It has been nice to see you each week on youtube. I will miss this Sterling. I guess I will just have to visit you more! Thank you for all of the entertainment.
I will miss your videos Sterling. You are a fantastic personality and extremely talented. Your words, "Lets go brew a cup" will forever be the moto I will remember you by. Don't be too concerned. You will find another project (hopefully coffee) to keep you busy. Take care.
I’m so sorry to hear this. I just found out your channel. I love your videos. I watch them over and over again. Love you! I know it’s tough. But though times build characters. Hang in there! Don’t give up! You will discover and have a new journey ahead.
We love you!! I wish you nothing but the best in the future and I hope to see you back soon, you are a bright light in this world and I absolutely loved watching your videos & sharing the love of Nespresso together, it brought me so much joy! Thank you for everything.
Wow, just found this channel. I watched the Vanilla custard pie review cause I got it for free and was wondering how good it was. Loved the video and checked your channel and its dead?! Well, your videos are great and I'll still be watching them and stil subbed. You didn't fail, you succeeded in building a community and contributing to it and still helped me today. Cheers.
Don’t be sad Sterling! You have to do what’s best for you and do what’s best for your mental! You were the reason I took the jump to buy my VertuoPlus back in August 2020! I watched all your reviews and of course I looked forward to your weekly reviews! Keep your head up and let 2022 guide you to where you need to be, whether it’s back on this channel or some other outlet. Your videos will definitely be missed! Take care and we’ll see you on a future coffee break ! 😉☕️
I’m so sorry to hear this. Lately, I’ve been dealing with personal issues myself and haven’t been engaged as much. However, I’ve always been hopeful I could go back to your videos. I hope you are back soon.
I'm in tears, I can't believe it came to this... I'm so sorry that you feel that way ... you are my favorite pod reviewer and my podhead family 😔 we'll miss you guys so much 🤍 just know that your excitement about coffee made me smile when I couldn't smile with anything else 💖
Oh No!!!! I’m an avid watcher and I always appreciate how you take time to reply to comments and it’s really obvious you love what you do and I always have a fun time and a good time watching your videos. I hope you return soon. You are the reason I bought a nespresso and I always see if you tried a pod first and what you think of it before I even think of adding it to my cart. Wishing you the best Mr. Sterling!
This makes me so sad. You are my go to Nespresso Coffee Guru. As a subscriber from England who loved your content, I hope to see your chirpy face return in the future. You haven’t failed. You tried something/s and they didn’t work. Come back when you’re ready, scrap what didn’t work and continue with the things that do. Your reviews are super and your community loves you. Do what you need to do, I will wait in hope for your return. Stay safe and be happy.
So sorry to see this, I looked you up, thought it was a while since I’d seen anything from you and that maybe UA-cam had pushed down your videos among recommendations, so I looked you up and saw this. Your channel was a fun place in a Times not always so bright, I won’t forget the huge spoons to stir the espressos! I hope you can see now how ,any people enjoyed your work and want to you see you back at when you feel up to it. You have gone ahead and made something most wouldn’t attempt, and thousands enjoyed your journey into nesprssso tasting with you, any venture is going to have ups and downs and strengths and weaknesses, I hope you take these ne go forward and keep being creative and bring us some more enjoyable moments together. God bless you, take care.
I missed this video and didn’t realize you had quit the videos. I was worried you were ill. Thank God you’re okay. I’m literally in tears watching this. I will miss you greatly. I LOVED your videos so very much. You’re so upbeat and fun to watch. I hope and pray that you return. Sending you much love 💗. Can’t say goodbye (too hurtful). So… it’s see you later friend.
Nobody reviews Nespresso pods like you do. Progress isn't always a straight line. Sometimes you plateau and it can take a while to make that next leap. I hope you give it another chance to make that happen. We had so much fun during the live streams. If you need a break, let your Patrons send in some guest videos for you to consider using in the meantime. That could be a lot of fun. Regardless of what you decide to do, thank you so much for the videos you've done. Thank you for your smile, your mispronunciations of pretty much every Reviving Origins African coffee :), and the time and passion you put into all of it. It was your unboxing video years ago that got me to buy the Vertuo Plus (I have 2 now). Take care and I hope sometime soon to hear "Let's go brew a cup"!
I’m really sorry to hear this. I cried right along with you. I hope one day you will be able to return. So for now I’ll not say goodbye, but see you later🥲
Will be sad to not see your videos and you. Take care. Sucks that you tube cut the revenue so much. Hopefully will see you back in 3 months after a short break. I enjoy your videos and style of delivery.
I'm saddened to see this but completely agree with the UA-cam changes. Always know you will always be the best Nespresso channel. Thank you for doing such great consistent videos. You will be missed.
I’m sorry about this. You definitely are a wonderful and entertaining coffee reviewer, and the only one I watched with consistency. I have precious few minutes to spare in my day, but I always enjoyed your videos, especially those for the original line. Take some rest and maybe things will feel different at a later date. I will hold out hope for seeing more of your videos in the future. -melissa
No!!!!! Who’s gonna brew a cup or a shot now???? I’m so sorry I know you must do what’s best for you and your family. I hope to see you soon but know that you will be missed dearly…….
Sterling , you are so incredibly missed on UA-cam. After about a year of not having enough counter space to fit my Nespresso I finally just made a coffee bar and came back to catch up on some of your videos to see what kind of new pods I should buy. I watched every single one of your videos. I would wait for the new one every week. Your personality and knowledge are unmatched. Please reconsider 😢❤
So sad to hear this. Your videos were so informative and charming. Your advice definitely influenced my pod purchases. You and your wife should be proud of all the hard work you put in. You will definitely be missed. Blessings on your future endeavors!
Hi Sterling, just started watching your videos and I even subscribed these are great videos not sure why the channel dropped in viewership but I have been telling coworkers and friends about your channel! Stay positive and God Bless! Merry Christmas my friend.
Sterling, I came to your channel hoping you would have a Liminha Over Ice recipe and came across this video. I’m normally just a silent watcher but this video broke my heart. You were always one of my go to Nespresso channels. I just discovered you in January 2022 because I just got my Nespresso this year so I was a new viewer. I hope you decide to come back but if it’s better for your mental health not to, I understand. Wish you all the best. P.S. - Wish I would have discovered you sooner, I would have entered the contest! :(
I was wondering when a new video was coming and came to check and make sure everything was okay. I loved ur videos! thanks for all the hard work! You are a legend! I hope ur happy :)
Your videos and reviews helped me so much--especially at the beginning of the pandemic. I had a Nespresso machine already, but was struggling with finding new pods to try b/c I didn't want to leave my house for tastings and I didn't want to go to Starbucks. I knew I could trust your reviews and you always made the reviews fun and light-hearted. I regret not commenting before, but please know you brought light to a lot of folks who needed it during such a dark time. I hope you're doing well and can come back one day.
You stopped coming up on my feed and I realized I had not seen you in a long while. I loved watching your videos and now that the holidays are coming I was looking forward to seeing your reviews. I had to find you again. Please come back. You are such an amazing content creator and your coffee descriptions and different methods. You are amazing. 😭 I hope you come back. ❤❤
Hi Sterling! It’s been over a year since your last video and I still miss you and this channel so much! Whenever nespresso drops a new pod, I instantly think about your channel and wish that you were still doing reviews because your channel is my favorite! I hope you and your family are doing well! 😊 please consider coming back!
I agree! I miss Sterling terribly!!!!!!!!!! Please come back!!!
STILL here waiting for you to come back....you were just ahead of your time!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, so sorry to hear this news will be missed very much ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I just joined the Nespresso “family” and discovered your channel. I love your enthusiasm, attention to detail, and balanced reviews.
I just viewed this last video. Totally understandable that you had to pause your channel, but I sure hope to see your return!
Thanks for all your videos!
Sterling, YOU FAILED NOTHING. UA-cam failed you...
you were a shining light for thousands during dark times.
Please find a way to do something coffee related, as I can see the joy it gives you and your wife. Do it for the joy and the memories built together and for everyone else,
For whenever you are ready, I can’t wait to see you again brother ❤️
I'm so sorry to hear this, Sterling. This obviously hurt you quite a bit. I'm usually a lurker but I did enjoy your videos and you were a nice diversion from my crazy work which doesn't leave me with much free time (work in healthcare). You are genuine, funny and upbeat. Don't lose that to a weirdly fickle thing like UA-cam. Hope to see you again some time. All the best for the future.
I just found your channel this evening, and this is so sad to watch. I enjoy your very in-depth and informative reviews of Nespresso capsules. Subscribing in case you decide to come back. 🙂 ☕️☕️☕️
Dear Sterling,
I really appreciate the love and genuine compassion you have for coffee and your channel. I’m sorry you are feeling so down and I hope with time, if you want, you will come back.
You are the first and only channel I go to when there is a new Nespresso pod that launches and I want to watch a review or when I am having a hard day, getting to come home at night and put on a video from you that is light hearted and joyful is lovely even if it’s from a while ago. It always leaves me with a sense of calm and happiness.
I hope you know that you have not failed. I think this year has been extremely tiring and not without challenges. I honestly think that lower view counts, revenue or participation is not a reflection on you or your content, but simply has to do with what we are living through at the moment. I personally have found this year hard and finding the time to participate in fun things like your videos or contests unfortunately did not get to happen as much as I would have liked. I’m certain that can be said for many of your other subscribers as well.
Thank you for all the content you have created and for the passion and kindness you brought to each video. I have loved them and am sorry to see you go. I like to think of you as the “father of coffee” and will be thinking of you when I sit down to have my next cup-of joe, via Nespresso of course ;)
I wish you and your wife the best, and hope you know, you will be greatly missed.
Nicely written Katie. I wholeheartedly agree with every word. It’s like that old saying - you don’t know what you have until it’s gone.
Let’s raise a Nespresso glass and toast Sterling. Until next time…
Just saw some new nespresso flavors, and immediately came to check if you were back. Will continue to hold hope you'll return - your fans miss you ipon :(
I'm a Dr. and for approx. a year, I saw literally no one except patients/coworkers at the hospital. I looked forward to your videos each week as a bright spot in my life. I would watch them and rewatch them over and over while I drank my coffee. It's no exaggeration to say your videos helped me get through the pandemic. I didn't realize you were getting paid by youtube, not sure how that works. I would enjoy watching even the occasional informal video of you sitting with a cup of coffee and just stating your opinion on it-- could be a 2 minute thing. Of course do what's right for you, just a suggestion. Thanks for your time, Sterling.
I’m shocked and very saddened. This channel was a highlight for me. I’m actually lost for words. I’m sorry you had to make this decision. And you haven’t failed. This year has been very difficult for so many people, and you were a bright spot through all this craziness. You will be greatly missed. Love to you and your family.
Hate seeing this Sterling, but understand your decision. Hopefully this video will help some of the casual viewers like myself speak up a bit, and you're able to see the joy & happiness that you spread with these videos. Obviously lower engagement stats are tough, but your content is evergreen - I often go back and watch old videos if I'm considering a new blend, KNOWING you'll have a video reviewing it (that will also make me smile in the process).
I really do pray that you come back, but if it is the end, be proud in what you built. You were being hard on yourself, but think about how much you've learned & grown in the last 3 years.
Didn't expect to start my day with tears, but I wish you & your family the best.
I'm still incredibly sorry you're not making any more videos. It's been a whole year and I still miss you!! Just know you didn't fail at all. I hope you're doing amazingly. Much love from Argentina (look how far you've got!!).
I am so sad to hear this. I have been a silent watcher for over a year. I always look forward to watching your videos and you are the only You Tube channel I faithfully pulled up every week to watch. Thank you for all of the great videos. I will miss your posts more than you know.
Thank you for every minute you shared with us.
As someone who once turned a hobby into something that brought in extra revenue, I see you, and I understand this hurt. I’ve been on a “hiatus” from that work for over 3 years. As much as I loved both what I created and accomplished, the pressure and expectation to capture that magic every time just weighed too heavy on me. I’m happier now, despite having even less time to dabble back into it. I do miss it though.
I was originally going to write a comment about what you could do to keep your channel fresh, but the truth is, you don’t owe us anything. You have to do what makes you happy, even if that makes our Friday’s a little less sterling.
Right now, all you need to know is that you are not a failure. What you created is special. And even amid the madness of our own lives, you were heard.
I’m so so heartbroken for you! I remember deeming you my mister rogers of coffee because I trusted and looked forward to your reviews and it felt like family around here! Please let us know if there’s anything we can do to support you, if subscribing to your patreon would help I’m sure more casual watchers would be more than willing. I hope there is a future because you will definitely be sorely missed ❤️
I wish I would’ve found this channels before this happened :😢 hopefully you choose to come back on here..
This is terrible! I’ve watched your videos for two years, and I based so many of my coffee purchases on your reviews. For me, your videos were part of the excitement of every new or seasonal coffee release. I honestly don’t know if I will enjoy my machine as much without your hype and enthusiasm. I understand your decision, but I am at a loss for words. Thank you for all of the great videos and for the hard work you put into creating them. I hope to see you return in the future.
I am so sorry to hear you are leaving. I really do adore your channel and it is one of my favourites. I am from the UK and if I was in the US I would have entered the competition. I really do appreciate all your work, and your channel will be very missed. Take care and hopefully see you around again
Sterling I'm so sorry that this has happned to you. Please dont feel any guilt. Your videos always made me laugh and they way you expressed yourself would always put a smile on my face and to see you so sad and in tears breaks my heart. I just want you know that we will always be here for you regradless how long it takes for you to come back and even if you start to make new content WE ARE HERE FOR YOU! I really do hope at some point in the future you can come back and I can see that laugh and smile again.
So sorry to hear this. Of all the Nespresso reviewers out there, you were my favorite. Wish you the best for you and your wife in 2022.
I miss your videos so much🥲
I’m so sorry, Sterling. This obviously was a painful video for you to make.
I hope you’ll return at some time if it’s right for you. All the best in 2022.
Edit: Yours was the first and only channel I joined right after purchasing my Nespresso. Please, please don’t take this YT creator experience as a personal defeat, YT is a difficult platform and the world is in a rough place. You’ve brought smiles and education to so many. Please take that with you when you leave and know that someone clear across the country in Minnesota cares.
Me too. Sterlings ate the ONLY nespresso videos i watch.
Hi Sterling I just want to thank you for all your videos and content you have put on UA-cam. I started watching your videos in March 2020 when the pandemic hit and they really got me through. You are always so cheerful and full of positivity that it brightened my day. I’ve recently moved to London and I’ve been watching your videos to help me through as they are comforting and familiar. I also have a nespresso shop not far away now. Please reconsider ending the videos and the channel. I think reading others comments a lot of people quietly watched without getting involved, which is what I do but they still mean a lot to me. You’ve spent a lot of time, money and effort putting the channel together and it really is appreciated so thank you again.
This is heartbreaking to see, Sterling. For whatever it's worth, please know that you never failed! Your videos have always been a go-to for me for everything Nespresso related. You did what most of us could never imagine doing, and the fact that you came so far is a huge win!! I'm hoping that this is just a temporary setback, and that something much better will come out of this! Once again, love your content, love your style and enthusiasm! Your videos will truly be missed!
watched 5 of your videos today, enjoyed your style, and would have enjoyed continuing to watch your videos. I hope life finds you well today. I'm sorry UA-cam failed you as they have failed many, in that you are not alone. Until possibly one day in the future, take care.
Hi, Sterling! I hope this comment finds you one day. I'm new to the Nespresso world, therefore I am very late to the discovery of your channel, but I have to say, that I use your content as a bible. It's my only reliable source of buying coffee (it's a big deal for me because I am the type to spend hours researching and looking up reviews before I buy a product online). It's unfortunate that the experience on your end was not as the way you hoped, but for some of us, it's a complete savior. It's a breath of fresh air- it's honest, quirky, more insightful and helpful over all other content alike. I love watching you and your videos, it's great stuff! You're the only one I trust when it comes to Nespresso pods, and I though I am new, I am truly sad to learn about your leaving. I hope all is well, and I hope you are getting everything you wish for out of life.
Sorry to hear this, Sterling. I’ve been an avid viewer the last couple of years and I really enjoyed your content. Everyone appreciates all the work that you and your wife put into this channel, and while I know it’s difficult, I hope you never think that it was a failure. If anything, from the comments already here, it was definitely the opposite. Hoping to see you around here sometime. Wishing you and your family good health and a very happy new year.
I'm so sad to hear this :( but I'm sure we'll all welcome you back with open arms if/when you return 🥰 I have thoroughly enjoyed watching all your videos! I got my Nespresso Vertuo back in May and went back and watched all your videos when I discovered your channel 🥰 you will be greatly missed! I don't often comment (other than in the 2 lives) but I look forward to your videos every week! Take care! Christine xxx
Omg... this channel just came to my mind. UA-cam never updated me to your videos so I would always check manually even with the bell highlighted. I can not believe this... I was so always genuinely entertained and I've bought so many of your recommendations that I've come to love and use daily. I'll miss you man surely. I really feel this in my chest ☹️😞
Hey Sterling. I'm so sorry to hear this. I may have been a subscriber late to the show, but I remember what it was that made me sub to your patreon.
I watched your Il Caffe video and you mentioned the recipe with the Hershey's chocolate syrup. I'm so glad we have that syrup over here in the UK, because I went out of my way to grab a bottle of the syrup, and grab a sleeve of Il Caffe the next day to try out that recipe you shared in that video. My very first sip of it and I immediately fell in love with it. That's what made me want to support you, because you opened me up to a pod that I wouldn't have ever tried, and now I have been making that exact same recipe every single day since then.
Just know that you have so many people that love to watch your videos, I don't usually comment on videos on UA-cam in general, that's why this would be my first on your videos, and I'm sure that's the same with many of your other viewers.
It sucks that you've had to make that decision, but if you ever do come back to make more videos, just know you'll definitely still have a subscriber here. Thank you for all the videos you've done :)
I never posts comments on UA-cam but felt I had to here. Thank you so much for all the effort you and your wife have put into this channel, it's been a great source of joy and entertainment to me recently, and I hope you know there's no failure in doing your best. Wishing you great things for 2022 and hope to see you on here sometime again!
Every beginning has an end an every Alfa has its Omega, but I (and I am sure others) will surely miss you every Friday morning. There are other great Nespresso channels out there but yours was my favorite. Great video editing, funny unbiased reviews and not too many "iced coffee" recipes (I like my coffee hot, lol). I'd noticed a couple of other Nespresso youtubers stopping making videos, so don't know if this is a trend, but you had the courage to say goodbye instead of just disappearing. Thanks for that. So, dear friend, until the next one, have a "beautiful rest of the year" with your loved ones.
I really miss your videos. You were my go to for Nespresso reviews. I was saddened by this video and really hope you reconsider. You have so many fans that love you and this channel. Hope you and your family are doing well ❤
Sterling,
Ipon70 epitomizes knowledge, humour, good will, professionalism, Joy, and ....YOU. As a patron I can only repeat the dozens of comments here, saying I will miss you and your delivery of these great UA-cam presentations. I am sorry it has taken so long to check back in with you, I honestly thought you were just taking a bit of hiatus. I think all of us subscribers watch and connect with you in our own way and it's the cycle of our lives that cause the ebb and flow back to our favourite UA-camrs(of which you are first in my line!). Good Luck to you and your future endeavors and God willing, you will come back to us in time. Please hold your head high, 7000+ subscribers can't be wrong !! You've touched each and every one of us ! Cheers Sterling, time to go brew a cup :-)
I'm so grateful for you. Thank you for your body of work and the joy in every cup of coffee you shared with the world. Your videos became more than a coffee review. You created a welcoming space for people of any age and creed to join you in exploring a new taste together. Thank you
11 months without you were too much weird. Please back again we missed you alot
I was stacked with nespresso all year and just ran out recently and came back to your channel for reviews of more recent flavors. And I see this. I don’t usually type comments but I feel for you. I only trusted your reviews, completely honest here. You never failed. Just think of the thousands of people you helped that you’re not even aware of. UA-cam is a corporate greedy devil in our times. For you, better things to come, God willing. Take care my friend.
This breaks my heart 😞and I’m so sorry it had to come to this. I have always enjoyed and looked forward to your videos and watched them every week. I referred to you to everyone as my “Nespresso Guy” lol and you always helped me to decide which pods to get. When I first bought my Nespresso, your videos were the first I found because I was so lost in knowing which pods to buy. You helped me a lot over the past year and a half. Shame on UA-cam for lack of support, you are amazing and I completely understand your decision. Will miss your videos for sure! You are most definitely not a failure and based on these comments, you’ve helped so many people. Thank you for everything!
Hi Sterling,
I've been watching your channel for about a year now and regretfully never once commented. My wife discovered your channel when looking up reviews of Nespresso flavors and got me onto it. I can honestly say that I loved your reviews. They were always spot on and, at times, even encouraged me to try a flavor that I might otherwise not have.
I often watched your videos while preparing for my morning classes (I'm a teacher) and they inspired me to get creative with my morning drink that would get me through the daunting task of teaching in a pandemic. This year, I've been going through the stresses of working through a pressure cooker of a pandemic and it's certainly placed a stress on my shoulders, like everyone else who is in this situation. With this, I think that people have become disconnected from the simple things in life that brought them joy, things like watching an awesome video about something that we all truly love; coffee.
The videos for you were clearly more than just a revenue source. They're a part of who you are. They are your passion project. They're your window of expression in an online world which you showed and encouraged people to "go brew a cup" and stop for a minute to just sip and enjoy. You demonstrated a great deal of passion and care in what you did and I don't think that a single viewer could argue otherwise. Regardless of the revenue stream, regardless of contest entries, regardless of viewership; one thing is certain; you did not fail.
I would like to personally thank you for the hours of entertainment and enjoyment. Your videos will surely be missed. I'll continue to always follow and be on alert for any new videos, eager to check them out if you are making them again.
Until then, don't ever stop creating and don't ever stop brewing.
I found your channel after my friend gave me her old(er) Vertuo machine - I was looking for a source of reliable reviews for what to buy and try, and the search stopped with you. I shared your videos with my friend and she loved them too! Thank you for all the love and heart you put into your channel. You (and your wife behind the camera) have such a kind, genuine, and humorous presence, and I think that’s what makes your videos so beloved by many. I think building a community online is really difficult, pandemic or not, and (not saying these are your feelings but from what I’ve seen in other cases) it seems like sometimes the pressure to perform or succeed can overshadow the simpler joy of the earlier days. Though some of us may not have been active participants, please know that you have brought a lot of joy to our lives that we are truly grateful for. We (I think I can say that based on all the other comments) will support you in whatever decision you make, and I hope that whatever you choose will make you feel happy and fulfilled - you deserve it.
OMG! I’m so sorry to hear this. It’s a bummer cause I REALLY ENJOYED AND LOOKED FORWARD to your reviews. I will dearly miss them. Hopefully you will return soon.
Sorry to hear this and I totally get it. You were the first person I watched nespresso coffee reviews right after I got my vertuo plus in July. You have a great personality and I love your videos. Good luck with whatever you decided to do with this channel. I don't know how you managed to do it this long, it's hard to be a content creator and all the time it takes to make these videos......let's go brew a shot!!!
I’m so sorry to hear this! You are the person who inspired me to try different pods I probably wouldn’t have and different flavor combinations for those pods. It’s tough all the way around right now. Wishing you the best and hoping to see you back around the UA-camverse very soon!
Hey Sterling just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of people saying PLEASE COME BACK. We realized we were spending about $130 a month on pods so we cut way back but I'd still love to see some reviews. There is no one else like you on youtube. You have the perfect mix of wholesomeness, humor, and expert tasting notes and observations. I don't even really drink Nespresso anymore but I'd watch anything you released. I tried the pumpkin spice in the store the other day and I thought about you. I imagined you not liking it but then making it into a drink with some milk and sweetener and then liking it. I'm still wearing my podhead shirt and my mother in law (whose memory is failing) loves it and asks me who it is every time she sees it. Anyway enough rambling. If you're ever in Minnesota the first cup is on me!!
I loved watching your videos everyday Friday morning. Usually I would just listen to them while I started work for the day. I loved hearing the excitement in your voice and you could tell how genuine you are. I belong to a Facebook group and so many members are sad to see you go. You are the first person I started watching when I ordered my nespresso machine almost a year ago. I knew nothing about nespresso until I started watching your videos. I even went back and watched a lot of the older videos too. You will be missed.
Please come back! There’s so many new pods you can try.
Sterling I am so sorry to hear this. My heart goes out to you in what I know was one of the hardest decisions you had to make. I hope that one day you’ll come back and when you do, we’ll be right here waiting for you, right where we left off. Best of luck to you and your wife Sterling. Until we meet again ❤️💔
i never post anything nor participate in any contest but i was watching every video you post….i understand the time and work needed to have a channel running so yeah just know that we were always watching even if we are in the shadow….in the end if you come back to it for you and for the fun of it…..if not enjoy you new free time!!
I just discovered you, and now you're gone. My heart weaps and mourns tonight. All I want for Christmas is for You to come back. I want to wake up one morning and see a notification that you have uploaded a new video. My wife and I have talked tonight, and we have agreed to both help you in any way, shape, or form to help this channel. You were ahead of your time. We need you. The World NEEDS YOU! Please. 🙏
Sterling, you don't understand. WE need you brother!
Wait! What. Sterling this is devastating news. You taught me about Nespresso world. A world I knew nothing about. Your bright welcome to another. (All of that good stuff in between). And Enjoy the rest of your day. Made me enjoy my cup even more. I brought my son a Nespresso vertuo for Christmas a couple years ago. He let sit for three weeks at that point I don’t know whether to take it back. So I decided to open set it up and go on YT. The moment you came on I had seat I was hooked and been enjoying you every since. Your laughter, the bloopers, your wife the taste tester, artist and camera person. Your mother or in law. Your brother in law. The beautiful dogs.Thank you for sharing your family with this pod head. You go and reset for however long it takes. I’ll be checking in. We have enough content to last until you come back. The newbies will gain valuable insight as how it works. Drop in sometime let’s us know y’all are doing.
.
Damn. I'm sorry to see you go. I hope one day that you'll come back! I loved your channel, it was really relaxing and fun to watch. You have a charismatic personality & sense of humor which is very uplifting. And your reviews always helped me find which coffee to get.
You have made my coffee journey so much fun. You will be missed so much . Thank you for always making us smile and providing great videos. Hope to see you back again in some form in the future.
I am so sorry man to hear that. You were the reason i bought my vertuo machine , i hope and wish all the best for you and thank you for all these great reviews!!
Since starting drinking coffee in December I've gone over all your videos to see best recipie ideas. Could only imagine your videos for some of the new summer coffee!!
I keep coming back to your channel hoping to find a surprise upload :(
I'm so sorry to hear this Sterling. I was looking forword to Friday to watch your video. I must admit I didn't watch all of them lately but I'm still sad I won't be able to watch your videos :( Hopefully you'll be makeing new videos soon. All the best in 2022. Keep your head high mate. You are one of the reasons I got my Nesspresso Vertuo. Hopefully see you soon
Oh Sterling. I'm so sorry. I've thoroughly enjoyed watching your videos and I hope you can come back one day on some platform or another. It truly isn't fair and you deserve to feel more valued. Good luck with the future of 2022 and I hope you find something else to funnel your coffee passion into this year!
I love your videos!!! I watch them all. That stinks, UA-cam! Im so sorry to hear this. I appreciate your fun enthusiastic and sincere reviews. I can't even imagine the time and money you put into your videos. I really hope to see you again. Im not one for putting pictures of myself and my stuff out there, but if you ever do videos again, I'll enter a contest with photos.
Hi bro, I'm from Mexico and I rely on your videos everytime I buy a new capsule from my vertuo line.
Thanks for all the tasting you made, and I understand your feelings about being a failure but you have to understand that this is a small community that is growing up and you were one of those pillars.
Just see the comments, all the people that comment that are from other countries and doesn't even talk English that well.
You are a great UA-camr, I can see the growth you had and I know you feel it to.
Its better to have a small faithful community than a bigger uninterested one.
Thank you for the vids you made and I hope you can came back, we will be here.
Wow - just hopped on UA-cam to search up some new pods. There is a black void left on here without you. I’ll for sure miss your content. Best of luck and hope one day you come back.
Man you didn’t fail , UA-cam algorithms are weird and have a lot to do with traction on the videos. You’re genuineness makes you a pleasure to watch. I subscribed and turned notifications on in hopes one day I get a notification sent to my phone you post another video . Until then , thanks for all of the great content. Cheers ☕️
I was hunting through UA-cam to find your reviews of the new Liminha pods. It was tough to find your reviews (usually they pop up on the feed without searching for your channel). Seeing this video I now understand… I guess I haven’t been buying pods lately, but slowly working through my stash. I’m sad not to have your input anymore. Thanks for showing us our interactions are valuable, if nothing else just to validate hard work. Hope you’re doing well.
It is because of you that I bought a Nespresso machine and have bought so many different Pods. I have truly enjoyed watching your videos. Since you are my uncle and we live across the country from each other, It has been nice to see you each week on youtube. I will miss this Sterling. I guess I will just have to visit you more! Thank you for all of the entertainment.
I got bummed out all over again by watching this video. Thanks Sterling.
I will miss your videos Sterling. You are a fantastic personality and extremely talented. Your words, "Lets go brew a cup" will forever be the moto I will remember you by. Don't be too concerned. You will find another project (hopefully coffee) to keep you busy. Take care.
I’m so sorry to hear this. I just found out your channel. I love your videos. I watch them over and over again. Love you! I know it’s tough. But though times build characters. Hang in there! Don’t give up! You will discover and have a new journey ahead.
Coffee doesn't taste the same without you. 😪
We love you!! I wish you nothing but the best in the future and I hope to see you back soon, you are a bright light in this world and I absolutely loved watching your videos & sharing the love of Nespresso together, it brought me so much joy! Thank you for everything.
Wow, just found this channel. I watched the Vanilla custard pie review cause I got it for free and was wondering how good it was. Loved the video and checked your channel and its dead?! Well, your videos are great and I'll still be watching them and stil subbed. You didn't fail, you succeeded in building a community and contributing to it and still helped me today. Cheers.
Don’t be sad Sterling! You have to do what’s best for you and do what’s best for your mental! You were the reason I took the jump to buy my VertuoPlus back in August 2020! I watched all your reviews and of course I looked forward to your weekly reviews! Keep your head up and let 2022 guide you to where you need to be, whether it’s back on this channel or some other outlet. Your videos will definitely be missed! Take care and we’ll see you on a future coffee break ! 😉☕️
I’m so sorry to hear this. Lately, I’ve been dealing with personal issues myself and haven’t been engaged as much. However, I’ve always been hopeful I could go back to your videos. I hope you are back soon.
I'm in tears, I can't believe it came to this... I'm so sorry that you feel that way ... you are my favorite pod reviewer and my podhead family 😔 we'll miss you guys so much 🤍 just know that your excitement about coffee made me smile when I couldn't smile with anything else 💖
Oh No!!!! I’m an avid watcher and I always appreciate how you take time to reply to comments and it’s really obvious you love what you do and I always have a fun time and a good time watching your videos. I hope you return soon. You are the reason I bought a nespresso and I always see if you tried a pod first and what you think of it before I even think of adding it to my cart. Wishing you the best Mr. Sterling!
Really hope you'll be back someday, you have made my life and coffee experience much much better,
Sorry to hear that you’re leaving the platform. I’ve enjoyed watching your content. Wish you and your wife a good New Years.
Sorry to hear this. I enjoyed your videos and your enthusiasm. You will be missed.
Just came by to see if you were back! Hopefully you are doing well. If you ever feel the itch to reconnect with your fans, we'll all be here!
This makes me so sad. You are my go to Nespresso Coffee Guru. As a subscriber from England who loved your content, I hope to see your chirpy face return in the future.
You haven’t failed. You tried something/s and they didn’t work. Come back when you’re ready, scrap what didn’t work and continue with the things that do. Your reviews are super and your community loves you.
Do what you need to do, I will wait in hope for your return.
Stay safe and be happy.
So sorry to see this, I looked you up, thought it was a while since I’d seen anything from you and that maybe UA-cam had pushed down your videos among recommendations, so I looked you up and saw this. Your channel was a fun place in a Times not always so bright, I won’t forget the huge spoons to stir the espressos! I hope you can see now how ,any people enjoyed your work and want to you see you back at when you feel up to it. You have gone ahead and made something most wouldn’t attempt, and thousands enjoyed your journey into nesprssso tasting with you, any venture is going to have ups and downs and strengths and weaknesses, I hope you take these ne go forward and keep being creative and bring us some more enjoyable moments together. God bless you, take care.
Please come back Sterling. Even if you do seasonal videos reviewing previous releases. You were by far the best Nespresso reviewer. Miss you man!
I missed this video and didn’t realize you had quit the videos. I was worried you were ill. Thank God you’re okay. I’m literally in tears watching this. I will miss you greatly. I LOVED your videos so very much. You’re so upbeat and fun to watch. I hope and pray that you return. Sending you much love 💗. Can’t say goodbye (too hurtful). So… it’s see you later friend.
Nobody reviews Nespresso pods like you do. Progress isn't always a straight line. Sometimes you plateau and it can take a while to make that next leap. I hope you give it another chance to make that happen. We had so much fun during the live streams. If you need a break, let your Patrons send in some guest videos for you to consider using in the meantime. That could be a lot of fun. Regardless of what you decide to do, thank you so much for the videos you've done. Thank you for your smile, your mispronunciations of pretty much every Reviving Origins African coffee :), and the time and passion you put into all of it. It was your unboxing video years ago that got me to buy the Vertuo Plus (I have 2 now). Take care and I hope sometime soon to hear "Let's go brew a cup"!
I’m really sorry to hear this. I cried right along with you. I hope one day you will be able to return. So for now I’ll not say goodbye, but see you later🥲
Sorry to hear this, will certainly miss you, loved your reviews.
Will be sad to not see your videos and you. Take care. Sucks that you tube cut the revenue so much. Hopefully will see you back in 3 months after a short break. I enjoy your videos and style of delivery.
I really miss your videos. You did a wonderful job. You have to do what is right for you. Hope Maybe in the future you will be back.
I'm saddened to see this but completely agree with the UA-cam changes. Always know you will always be the best Nespresso channel. Thank you for doing such great consistent videos. You will be missed.
I’m sorry about this. You definitely are a wonderful and entertaining coffee reviewer, and the only one I watched with consistency. I have precious few minutes to spare in my day, but I always enjoyed your videos, especially those for the original line. Take some rest and maybe things will feel different at a later date. I will hold out hope for seeing more of your videos in the future. -melissa
No!!!!! Who’s gonna brew a cup or a shot now???? I’m so sorry I know you must do what’s best for you and your family. I hope to see you soon but know that you will be missed dearly…….
Sterling , you are so incredibly missed on UA-cam. After about a year of not having enough counter space to fit my Nespresso I finally just made a coffee bar and came back to catch up on some of your videos to see what kind of new pods I should buy. I watched every single one of your videos. I would wait for the new one every week. Your personality and knowledge are unmatched. Please reconsider 😢❤
So sad to hear this. Your videos were so informative and charming. Your advice definitely influenced my pod purchases. You and your wife should be proud of all the hard work you put in. You will definitely be missed. Blessings on your future endeavors!
Hi Sterling, just started watching your videos and I even subscribed these are great videos not sure why the channel dropped in viewership but I have been telling coworkers and friends about your channel! Stay positive and God Bless! Merry Christmas my friend.
So sorry to see you go. I ran into your channel 2 months ago when i was researching about Nespresso. Wishing you all the best.
Sterling,
I came to your channel hoping you would have a Liminha Over Ice recipe and came across this video. I’m normally just a silent watcher but this video broke my heart. You were always one of my go to Nespresso channels. I just discovered you in January 2022 because I just got my Nespresso this year so I was a new viewer. I hope you decide to come back but if it’s better for your mental health not to, I understand. Wish you all the best.
P.S. - Wish I would have discovered you sooner, I would have entered the contest! :(
I stay subscribed in hopes of a return!
I was wondering when a new video was coming and came to check and make sure everything was okay. I loved ur videos! thanks for all the hard work! You are a legend! I hope ur happy :)
Your videos and reviews helped me so much--especially at the beginning of the pandemic. I had a Nespresso machine already, but was struggling with finding new pods to try b/c I didn't want to leave my house for tastings and I didn't want to go to Starbucks. I knew I could trust your reviews and you always made the reviews fun and light-hearted. I regret not commenting before, but please know you brought light to a lot of folks who needed it during such a dark time. I hope you're doing well and can come back one day.
Have you thought about other video besides Nesspresso maybe?
You stopped coming up on my feed and I realized I had not seen you in a long while. I loved watching your videos and now that the holidays are coming I was looking forward to seeing your reviews. I had to find you again. Please come back. You are such an amazing content creator and your coffee descriptions and different methods. You are amazing. 😭 I hope you come back. ❤❤
