Great auto machine. Perfect for hassle free end user. My sister has a commercial unit in her fashion store and raves about it.

As previously mentioned I purchased a Krups fully automatic. Took some time to set up right but now makes exceptional coffee every time using Rubra "Jazz" beans (mainly). Works a treat for a smaller household.



I'm not a fan of the "nespresso" coffee.

Have the Citiz & Milk machine and I think it's great. Quick, easy and constent tasting coffee. We go through 10 to 15 pods a week. If you do 10 or 15 a day it might get a bit pricey

Also have a Citiz. Have a full manual machine too - but the Nespresso wins on convenience. Capsules may be 3x the price of beans, but its 1/4 the price of my daily coffee in the city so its all relative.

my cousins have one, dont make very hot coffees, and when they have people over is difficult (impossible) to turn out multiple cups together, not sure exactly which model they have though

I bought one of the bottom of the range machines almost 3 years ago. It still runs perfectly without dramas today. It has been used only at work on a minesite, getting packed up and thrown around in a locker daily and still hasn't shown signs of complaining. My model came with a seperate milk frothing jug so you can heat it up to your liking. It's far from real froth though.

It was a great improvement on instant coffee or a poorly made esspresso. Still, I'm starting to get a little over the taste. I'm starting to find it gives the worst 'after coffee breath' out of all options. I'll probably look at a perculator when this dies or something else.

That said, my parents are coffee nuts. Both can pretty much tell just by smell and taste what blend of beans you have served them up. They bought a machine a year ago and find the coffee tasty and are happy to drink that for the ease.

I mostly buy the black ristretto capsules but always buy a bunch of other different flavours in each order to mix it up a bit. Anything that has 'fruity, caramel, biscuit' flavour names, avoid like the plague. They just have some cheap nasty flavours added to them that tastes horrible.

For those who say it's too cold, have you tried a descaler kit? I descale mine every 6 months and it makes a massive difference in the temperature.

I have the same machine and I've never had a decent cup from it

I've set it up properly, used heaps of different brands and just can't get a decent cup out of the bitch
