Good Day All,

Anyone on TRF has a Nespresso?

I just got one and it seems to work great, makes good coffee!!

Take Care,

Eric

They had one at the office of a previous employer ... very bad for my health ... I was on a 10/day average ....

They are pretty good.

NutNut · 10 September 2011, 12:11 AM

Yes, I do. I usually have a triple ristretto after lunch. Love it.

Route 66 · 10 September 2011, 12:19 AM

Can you make a cup of regular coffee with these units or just expresso/cappuccino type drinks?

If you're asking me then yes, it makes everything and then some.

I've tried to tell my machine to pull me ristretto's but it simply refuses.

In English it works fine but who wants to drink English espresso.

MonBK · 10 September 2011, 12:17 AM

If it doesn't grind fresh beans for each cup it's not for me.

Here's mine

Passionata · 10 September 2011, 12:25 AM

Great machine ,makes 19bar pressure which is the secret of the right coffee.

Exactly

rr-nyc · 10 September 2011, 12:37 AM

I have the Lattissima and absolutely love it. Like all Nespresso machines, its capable of a crema that most barista's could only dream about. Fortunately, I live 2 blocks from the SoHo boutique so I never run out of capsules.

For those that don't think its capable of making a good espresso because its not fresh ground haven't tried it. Fresh ground means close to nothing. Sure the beans and roast are important but espresso is about temperature and pressure that relies on the machine and the operator.

Illy and Nespresso have the right machine and remove the chance of user error without sacrificing the finished product.

No, I have a Jura-Capresso Impressa. Makes the best cup of coffee I've ever had. Awesome crema!

That is one nice coffee maker!

I live in a condo so counter space is at a premium and the wife does not drink coffee. So the Nespresso is as big as I will ever have.

cedargrove · 10 September 2011, 12:44 AM

We've had the Nespresso for a couple of months. Love it. Just ran out of capsules and went through withdrawal for a day before my wife picked up some more.

Rolex Junky · 10 September 2011, 12:53 AM

Yes. For over 5 years now. Great coffee. Nice assortment of blends.

mfer · 10 September 2011, 01:18 AM

depends on your definition of good espresso. My brother love's them. I can't stand them. I like the real stuff.

With all due respect, to each his own.

BTW, the Jura brews at 25 bars pressure, and since it grinds the beans and tamps the ground coffee immediately before brewing, it's hard to beat.

If I had the room, I would get one of the real coffee makers, from Mr. Cap. I have a friend that has one, she loves it costs like 3-5K

Like this one;

The one you pictured produces 18 bars, not 25 but thats all you need.

Woops! My bad! It IS 18 bar, but it still squeezes out a brilliant cup of coffee.

SC11 · 13 September 2011, 01:22 AM

I had a Krups Dolce Gusto machine brought for me but don't think it's as good as the Nespresso I tried in John Lewis the other day so have considered moving over to this !

After thoughts on a good quality easy to use espresso machine capsule or bean but must be pretty much fool proof lol :-)

TSW · 10 September 2011, 05:20 AM

Love my new home Barista

KKB · 10 September 2011, 06:43 AM

I've had the Nespresso Citiz machine for about a year and a half now and love it. Very sharp looking, very small footprint, fun to use, and I would say that it makes espresso as good or better than 75 percent of the coffee houses that I go to (or used to go to). And I love the Nespresso commercials with George Clooney!

Richard. · 10 September 2011, 02:03 PM

The Nespresso machine my wife bought for me has spoilt me for most other coffees.

Andad · 12 September 2011, 07:46 PM

We have a Saeco mio and a Vienna.

The Vienna grinds on demand and is gooood.

Nice setup!!

MonBK · 12 September 2011, 08:14 PM

What brand of espresso are you using with the Vienna Eddie?

SoftLink · 12 September 2011, 08:47 PM

Man, I so need one but they don't sell them (machines or capsules) in Indonesia yet. Will likely have to ask my mum for one for my birthday.

What's the best machine to get?

c3pastor · 12 September 2011, 09:42 PM

Yes... The Citiz.... Amazing machine!
