2 out of 5 stars Loved it until it stopped frothing   December 31, 2007

This machine was magical for two weeks...and then something in the milk frother broke or got clogged. After numerous calls to nespresso (advice included buying a different brand of milk), Delonghi, and the local Delonghi repair place, we ended up returning it. I understand that Nespresso customer service is supposed to be very helpful, but since this machine is made by Delonghi, they were unable to provide any technical assistance or replacement parts.

While it was working, my only complaint was that the milk did not get hot enough (the cup heater is useless, but if you run hot water into the cups, that helps).

Two stars; one for each week of delicious coffee we drank.



4 out of 5 stars Beautiful, tasty espresso every time   December 30, 2007

This machine makes as tasty an espresso as I have ever had, the crema produced each time is consistent and beautiful. It will knock your socks off. Using a milk steaming attachment the machine produces a great looking and tasting cappuccino and latte every time.

Some people seem to gripe about the lack of selection or having to use the "pods" but to me this is an advantage of the machine. The pods must be ordered through Nespresso's website (wish you could buy at the stores, like Sur La Table). The selection of pods is very diverse and are very high quality, the flavors are strong and complex (folgers it aint!) The value of the pods is OK ($.50 ea) and invariably you end up ordering much more coffee than you probably need.

Cleanup is super easy (can't say that about my other espresso machine).

You may ask why not 5 star? There is only one drawback to the machine (besides cost I suppose) and that is the ability to regulate milk temperature. My #1 complaint about the machine is that the milk is not hot enough for my liking. I read the manual and looked at the product website, but as of yet I don't see a way to increase temperature. Generally speaking I like my lattes much hotter than I can prepare with this machine. The espressos are also not quite hot enough to my liking but they taste so good its hard to complain.

For the price I think there should have been a way to steam the milk longer. I am thinking about posting a video of this machine making an espresso because really its a beautiful, tasty espresso every time.

If the milk steaming and Lungo/Latte/Cappuccino functions are not that important and you just want the espresso I would look strongly at this model:

We ordered this from Amazon and received it a week ago. My wife and I are very happy with the machine. It is a great design, easy to use and clean, and makes great coffee. I highly recommend it. It's high priced but much cheaper than similar machines.
