Comment:
Surprisingly, CR doesn't mention that this espresso maker is part of the Nespresso line. The important thing about this is that ALL of the espresso makers in this line make identical quality espresso. The differences are among features and appearance. You can spend a lot less, or a lot more, on other espresso makers in this line, and still get the exact same quality espresso. The capsules are not available in stores (except Nespresso stores), but are easily available by mail-order. There are more than a dozen blends of espresso available, and all are vacuum sealed for freshness. However, you cannot use your own ground espresso.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
