PERFECT CUP EVERY TIME with no muss, no fuss
My sister told me about this machine and gushed over its qualities. I admit I was skeptical, but I was also ready to try something new as I was tired of spilling coffee grounds all over my kitchen counter as I transferred them to my coffee maker, and the whole rigmarole of making a cappuccino at home was wearing on me too. I was also ready to be disappointed as I am much pickier than my sister, particularly when it comes to crema on espresso and the quality of the foam for steamed milk. Well, I have to say, I was blown away! You can tell I’m 65 right? Does anyone say “blown away” anymore? Well, I was. As you can see in the photo, the crema is perfect, and so is the steamed milk (even though I use full-fat milk rather than the part skim as recommended by the manufacturer). Be warned, there is a bewildering array of coffee’s available for this machine and they all have fancy Italian-sounding names that you may find hard to remember. However, be bold and try the lot. I have yet to have a bad cup, though I have to say my favorites so far are “Stormio” for a regular cup of coffee that can stand up to steamed milk, and “Altissio” for smooth flavorful espresso to be consumed as is. Yum!Although the quality of the coffee and foamed milk is this machine’s most important features, I should also say that De’Longhi has managed to manufacture a foolproof experience! Honestly, there is nothing that can be done to improve this product. The only concerning thing about this machine was its delivery. It was on my front porch when I came home with the box open and a couple of parts spilled out. The machine had been mailed in the store box, rather than being placed inside a protective outer box. Not a good idea. Fortunately, all the parts were there and the internal package was good enough that the machine did not get damaged. I was amazed again. Still, it is an expensive machine and should have been packed inside a mailing box for extra protection. Just saying.

A great machine and excellent customer service!
My Nescafe Dulce Gusto machine died during the storms caused by Hurricane Beryl’s landfall. I’d been unable to get the pods that I preferred, “Grande Mild”, for over a year, so I decided to try the Nespresso. I like that this machine reads the pods and automatically uses a certain amount of water and milk based on the pod info. The less I have to do to make coffee in the morning, the better.I also really like the milk frother on this, and I can push a single button and either get a latte, a cappuccino, or a milk topping. If you are diabetic, you will be glad to know that the milk frother can handle unsweetened coconut milk just fine!One morning, two weeks after buying this coffee brewer, it simply refused to work. I called customer support and we tried a few things to get it working again, but ultimately had to replace it. They cross-shipped the new one to me in a few days, literally before I had shipped off the old one!

Simple to use ; Great Options
After the initial setup , the Nespresso is simple to use and gives you three options , Steamed Milk, cappuccino , and lattes . I love it! Set up was a little tricky to understand when trying to adjust for the hard water, but once set up , easy to run and maintain

Makes good coffee when it works, but quits and difficult to get working again with the required app
Have had it for a year, and it makes good (albeit expensive) lattes, cappuccino, and coffee.However, despite using distilled water, it frequently (every 30-45 days) lights up the descale light and stubbornly refuses to work at all until you use the app on your phone to initiate descalingâ¦ which often forgets who you and your machine are, making it frustrating that you have to log into an account, sometimes reset a password via email, and use an app just to make coffee! Worse, during the 20-30 minute descale, the application sometimes gets hung up and stuck, having to start over.A simple light to remind you itâs a good idea to descale would be much better. Itâs particularly aggravating when you offer visitors coffee andâ¦ sorry, I have to do a 30 minute stinky vinegar descale before I can offer you that cup of coffee.Will not buy another one, and go back to ânonsmartâ espresso that doesnât force me to log in or use Bluetooth.

Easy to use and delicious coffee
We had a Mr Coffee espresso maker that crapped out after a year of heavy use. We bought this to replace it and love it so far. Much easier to setup and quicker use and clean up.

Creamy delicious goodness at a reasonable price.
Iâm very fortunate to have bought this during the holidays. They had it on sale for almost 50% off. Iâve been searching for a good quality automatic coffee machine for quite some time now. I did a lot of research, almost bought the new Kitchen Aid fully automatic espresso machine. But after seeing some not so great reviews, I went with the Nesspresso. The coffee is very good, the creaminess and solid reviews had me sold. Nowâ¦ Would I pay full price for this??? Noâ¦ Had it been anymore expensive, I would have gone with the Bosch 800 series. Which is my top choice, but much more expensive. All in all I am very happy with my choice. I still get Starbucks from time to time, but for the most part, I enjoy my Carmel Macchiatoâs from the comfort of my own home. 1 vanilla pod, 4 pumps of sugar free vanilla syrup, Oat milk, and a generous amount of sugar free caramel sauce. I add sugar free vanilla syrup to the oatmilk and froth into a delicious cloud of cold foam. All over ice of course. If youâre feeling extra spicy, add some more caramel sauce on top. Absolutely delectable!

Best coffee machine I’ve bought
This is by far the best coffee machine I’ve ever purchased. The ability to go from espresso to coffee is really neat, with just the touch of a button. But the milk container is the best feature. You can select an espresso and have it with a little milk or turn it into a latte. You can also add extra foam on top. The pods get stored in a little bin and then can be emptied when full. It requires a rinse every couple uses that is more than simple to do. I HIGHLY recommend this coffee machine.
