Around 40 machines make espresso with the proprietary Nespresso capsules. These machines gain in ease of use, but cost much more to operate, day to day, than a traditional machine, or even a pod machine.

Bottom Line: I definately recommend the smaller machines (Essenza C90 or D90) that are now available since the frothing wand isn't worth the additional money.
