Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

While I'm no coffee expert, I consider myself a coffee aficionado. I drink my coffee black, no sugar. I like to actually taste the different notes in the coffee. My wife, likes it 75% milk, 25% coffee. It was hard to find a machine that would be easy to use and easy to clean while serving both of our different coffee needs. I must tell you, we absolutely love, love, love this machine. 1. It's the perfect size (it's small, it won't take much counter space at all). 2. It's easy to clean and maintain. 3. The coffee is just the right temperature. 4. It creates amazing foam which makes the coffee look amazing with milk and without. 5. Most importantly, the coffee just tastes amazing. Now for the cons: 1. It makes all other coffees taste like dirt. Specially the big S. So, you really enjoy your coffee at home. Outside, its just average. 2. Not a big deal, but because of it's size, I fill the water reservoir about 2x per week. But, then again, we love the machine so much, we drink about 2-3 cups each, per day. 3. The dispensary gets filled quickly, then again, we use it a lot. 4. The price, while for us the price is every well worth it, this machine is not for your average cup of joe drinker. This machine are for people who really enjoy drinking a great craft coffee but don't want to pay $5 at the big S store. All in all, I highly recommend it. A couple of recommendations: 1. Use the Original Nespresso Capsules. I've tried the other coffee and there is inconsistency on the actual capsules which you sometimes have to force it. Furthermore, I have yet to try another brand of coffee that has the same consistency, depth and flavor than those produced by Nespresso. 2. Use filtered Water. Don't use tap. Keep in mind that no coffee maker that I know actually boils the water, if so, long enough to kill any of the bad stuff. Plus, better water, better coffee. 3. When using the Milk system, rinse the milk system before drinking your coffee. Milk dries quick and it doesn't dry very nicely. We drop it in the dish washer about 2 times per week for thorough cleaning. 4. Share the love. When people come over to your house, give them a cup of coffee, it will bring joy into their lives. Lastly, I wrote this review because I truly enjoy this machine. I have no compensation, incentive or rewards for writing this review. I hope you enjoy this machine as much as we do. Have a wonderful cup of Joe day.
