Where has this espresso machine been all my life? December 20, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

All the money that I've spent at Starbucks over the years -- no more! I got this machine about a week ago now and I absolutely love it.

Downsides:
* Manual really stinks. It's all in pictures, and not
very clear ones at that. Once you get the hang of it
though, its pretty easy.
* Price -- it is very pricey, but if it replaces a $5
-$10 a day Starbucks habit, that works for me.
* Proprietary espresso capsules-can only be bought
through the few Nespresso stores or
online. Online ordering is easy though, and they ship
2 day air.

Upsides:
* Produces great tasting espresso-better than Starbucks
* Easy and fast to prepare espresso
* Easy to clean
* Produces great milk froth-which is also easy to make
and clean
* Most Nespresso coffee pods are about fifty cents each-
even with two shots for a grande+, this still comes
out cheaper (and better tasting) than the Starbucks
equivalent.
* Large variety of available Nespresso espresso flavors
with easy ordering. Starbucks should consider
partnering with Nespresso to develop Starbucks
capsules for Nespresso machines. This
will benefit Nespresso by offering more selection with
a well known coffee brand -- and Starbucks
will benefit by getting some of the coffee biz that
they're losing by people buying Nespresso machines (or
other machines that can't use Starbucks).

Net Net -- if you can get past the price, buy this machine -- I highly recommend it!

My wife got me one a year ago and I am still using it regularly. it is easy to use, easy to clean-up and makes great coffee. While the unit is expensive, it beats anything else I have tried. Plus, at $0.50 per capsule, it should pay for its self within a year or so if you have a latte-a-day Starbucks habit. :)

Works as advertised and is superb. Very pleased with it. Instructions are not as clear as they could be.

Love it. Love the coffee. Love the convenience. A little less plastic would be nice, and it sounds like the aliens from WAR OF THE WORLDS, but those are small quibbles. If you love European-style coffee/espresso but don't want be a home barrista constantly cleaning your machine, this is for you...

Good fast espresso, mediocre steamer, unreliable. April 16, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful

This machine produces excellent tasting espresso quickly and easily. The pod system is easy to use, but you are limited to using nestle's pods: captive consumer. The steamer works OK, with some effort and is noisy. We had one breakdown in less than 6 months of normal household use. Nespresso fixed the machine and even sent us a loaner, but still, I expect much better reliability. This machine tarnishes the reputation of many other fine swiss machines. But we still love the machine for the taste and convenience.
