Easy Espresso October 5, 2008

What a great machine - quick and easy - nice and neat. Brews wonderfully.
Living in Italy: ALL ITALIANS have this machine October 4, 2008
K. R. Warmkessel (Genova, Italy)
I live in Italy and I have to say that after being in Italy for 7 years, I finally discovered how to make the perfect cappuccino at home. This makes a cappuccino exactly how I would get it at my neighborhood coffee bar. The machine makes a dense rich espresso with a nice cream on top and the aeroccino makes a perfect thick foam. The aeroccino also heats the milk to the perfect temperature and clean up is super quick. The machine is little in size which is a plus in a tiny Italian kitchen. At first I wasn't so convinced on being committed to buying only Nespresso capsules, first for the price and second for the quality of coffee. Then I recalculated that I spend 1.10 euro at the bar every morning compared to .34 euro to make it at home....hence a definite savings. Plus the quality of coffees they offer (12 varieties in total) happens to be excellent! Just a note on the Krups version and the DeLonghi version: they are the EXACT SAME machine inside, they are only esthetically different on the design outside. There is an automatic or manuel version. The automatic version stops the shot automatically which is really no big deal as the shot takes about 10-15 seconds to brew. Meaning that with the manuel it means that you press the button 15 seconds after starting it. Is it worth the extra money to have the automatic? I would say no, and go for the manuel. I've noticed that all of the Italians here also have this espresso machine in house. So if the Italians say it's good, and they're passionate about their food and drink, it's got to be good. I've owned several machines over the years and this one is truly THE BEST!! It has 19 bar pressure which happens to be the highest bar pressure I could find in a domestic machine. The higher the bar pressure the better tasting the espresso.
how to have a full mug of coffee from this machine May 20, 2008
H. Duffy (Michigan)
I have just moved from the UK to the US and had a Nesspresso in the UK (donated to my brother when I moved) and I will be buying my second machine soon. The coffee is delicious, and if you want a full mug, make one or two espresso shots into a mug depending on how strong you like you coffee and add hot water - simple, refreshing coffee. perfect
 OK but has some significant issues February 8, 2008

I have been using this machine for about a month now. The espressos are strong, aromatic and comparable to those produced by more expensive machines. The machine is also very easy to clean (barely requiring a rinse every now and then). As far as quality goes I'm very happy with it. A few caveats however:
Temperature: as other reviewers mentioned, they are barely warm. If you're used to sipping yours for more than a couple of minutes you'll be drinking cold coffee. In fact the low temperature my Nespresso produces is enough of an issue for me to regret my purchase. And warming the cup does about as much as you'd expect.
Variety: I think there are enough capsules in the Nespresso line to find an espresso that suits your taste but the lungos are not to be confused with full-cups. You will not be able to get even half of an average American coffee cup out of a lungo capsule without it starting to taste watered down. Therefore Nespresso isn't as versatile as it could be and if you or your guests prefer regular coffee to espresso you'll have to keep your other coffee maker.
Customer service: You will have to buy the capsules directly through the "Nespresso Club" which advertises itself as an exclusive and very attentive client service. In my experience they have been responsive but unusually impersonal and not helpful if you are dissatisfied with your machine or your casules orders. One almost gets the impression they're doing you a favor by dealing with you. Guess that's what they mean by that exclusive feeling...
Because of the above issues I would recommend comparing a few other brands and seeing whether this is really your best choice. Personally, I wouldn't buy mine again.

Nestle, the parent company to Nespresso and the coffee pods, is the worlds largest distributer of coffee, with Nescafe having the greatest world wide brand recognition. Its not like I worry about Nestle and it's coffee drying up and blowing away. I first experienced Nespresso as a guest in a friends home. It was simply the best coffee I ever drank. The machine is ready to dispense in 40 seconds. I turn it on, reach for a cup, make my coffee choice and push the lever. Coffee is in my cup in under a minute and a half from hitting the on button. I like "Goldilocks" coffee, not too hot and not too cold. I can begin to sip and enjoy this amazingly rich and nurturing brew without any extra steps or clean up.
