Best coffee machine and coffee
We own these machines for 1.5. year. This is the best coffee machine and frother I have seen and used. It is very easy to operate, it is extremely easy to clean, the coffee is much better than anything we buy in coffee shops. The coffee capsules arrive in 2 days since the order is placed and the selection of coffees is great. When you compare the price of the machines and capsules with the "fancy coffee you buy in the *bucks" you will find out that after about 200 cups you start making money.

I love this machine
I've had the Nespresso Essenza Automatic and Aeroccino for about 10 months now. The quality of the coffee is very, very good and the machine is easy to use. There is almost no clean-up for the espresso maker, and the milk frother can be cleaned in about 30 seconds. Guests are thrilled when I'm able to make a high end espresso or latte for them in just a few seconds. Nespresso customer service employees are friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this product.

Use them every.single.day... sometimes twice.
I never thought I would go for this machine, I am a little purist and cranky about my morning cup of wonderful - however, I indulged the Nespresso rep at a local Sur La Table - and, wow.

This little combo worked better than The Cube in my opinion, and I love that frother!

Yes, you need the little capsules, but the darker roasts and the "Special Club" are pretty good, and I have many more to try. it helped that the rep tossed in like 5 extra packs of them for me. I found them online here at Amazon for about $6 a sleeve and with my Prime membership it was free shipping. And the rep told me next time I see her she will let me "try" a couple other flavors as well - bonus.

I have made chocolate milks, coffee blends with liqueurs for desserts, decaf cap's at night as well as my new fancy morning beverages.

I have had it for a month and adore it. Sure, a little pricey, but I think I have saved about $57 already in morning coffee shop trips. So that pays for itself pretty fast.

The coffee button has to be programmed for the small and large size you prefer on the "pull" time. Hold it down for the length of the "pull" you want then release. It will "remember" it for the next time you tap that button.

I am going to order a set of replacement frother spinners, not because they don't stick to the top of the frother well (they are pretty magnetic) but because I am afraid they will get washed away by a less careful user (ahem. no pointing fingers... HONEY.)

If you would like a treat for yourself, do it. It wont be comparable to your most fave coffee house or a replacement for a chatty, fun, pierced, "I really want to be an actress/singer/massage therapist." type barista, but it will save on trips to the coffee shop and maybe keep you from being ten minutes late to your morning meeting because you just HAD to stop on the way in to the office.

So anyway - Froth away! Invest in some pretty cups and some chocolate syrup too! =)

Living in Italy: ALL ITALIANS have this machine
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! 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!!

Great Little Machine!
I am not a big home made coffee lover, but after staying in a hotel in Key West that had one of these amazing little machines in our room as a perk, I was hooked! Great coffee and so easy to use, no more coffee houses for me! Well worth the money and it is good for us traveling as it is small and easy to take with us when we travel in our plane.
