Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this to replace a Breville Nespresso Machine which took up more counter space, so I had the opportunity to compare them directly. The Breville Nespresso machine produced a much thicker crema and a better tasting coffee than this DeLonghi machine did. With the green-colored coffee pods the crema on the Breville was nearly two inches thick, while the DeLonghi produced barely half that. I suspect that the Breville spins the pods faster and with more force, or at least it sounds that way. The Breville coffee had more body while the DeLonghi coffee was noticeably flatter.
