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: Very good but not great. Perfect for the busy person for whom espresso is a beverage and not a religion.

Bottom Line: very easy to use, consistent results, easy to maintain, coffee quality is the same. However once you have the real thing, you can't go back to this system!

Bottom Line: Machine is good but if you can't get your coffee delivered then the machine is of no use!

Bottom Line: Do a good cost analysis before you purchase. They have a hook on you much like buying razor blades when you buy a razor. A one shot drink will cost you at least 70 cents and most milk/water based drinks will require more than one.

Bottom Line: Close to perfection for the office-bound shot lover

Product Reviewed: D90/C90
Bottom Line: If clean-up and ease-of-use are a big issues, and recurring cost is not, these machines are great.

Bottom Line: I wish i could recommend this product because the coffee is decent when it works right but for this price, there are better alternatives.

Bottom Line: Not worth it! Buy the simpler Nespresso if all you want to do is pour a very quick shot. Otherwise, try a different brand!

Bottom Line: The machine has mechanical design deficiencies and Nespresso needs to address this rather than blaming the customer.

Bottom Line: Nespresso no longer supports this machine, so there is no way to obtain repair tools or other replacement parts -- makes me question the longevity of their other products.

Bottom Line: This is a great machine for the espresso and coffee lover that doesn't have time for breakfast or anything else. It's faster than ordering one at a coffee shop.

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.

Bottom Line: If you have the time to do the labor of love for the perfect espresso, then this is not for you...But if you are willing to settle for a less than perfection but in a fraction of time and effort...Winner
