I’ll admit that it makes delicious and easy espresso. I did a little research and found that the pods cannot be recycled in the US and that they don’t use fair trade coffee (which is less of a surprise). When I though of all of those delicious pods accumulating in the garbage, I just couldn’t justify the machine. I’ll go instead with a machine that can use the compostable illy pods.
While I was looking at Nespresso I also did some research on their parent company Nestle, to see if they are still as bad as they had been in the 70s, marketing infant formula over breast milk in developing countries without the best water supply (leads to infant mortality). I found that not only do they still do this, but more recently they were found to be contracting with the Mugabe family (mass genocide) in Zimbabwe, sold contaminated dog and cat food in Venezuela, and have been involved with using contractors that utilize in slave labor. That delicious espresso is not so delicious anymore.

i bought — and later returned — this machine because the espresso simply was never hot enough. they suggest heating the cup before you pour the espresso into it, but then what happened to the “automatic” part of this equation? also, if you’re used to a strong latte or mocha you’ll need several pods to make one drink taste normal, which is expensive. i have since settled on the Jura-Capresso ENA3 machine, and am thrilled with it. the Jura line of espresso machines is known for not having mechanical problems. and the ENA 3 has a frother arm, a very small footprint, and is easy to maintain. it has no pods but instead an internal grinder, and the espresso comes out nice and hot — and great tasting.

I bought this machine as an x’mas present for my mother who loves her coffee but is afraid of the steam from traditional espresso machines, hates the hassle of French Press, and dislikes drip coffee.
This product was an instant hit. Just switch the machine on, run it through once to rinse the machine & heat up the cup, then insert the capsule and press for a tasty cuppa. Repeat for a second cup. So simple a four year old did it too.
Added benefit is that this particular machine has a slim footprint and the water tank holds enough water for quite a few cups so the machine itself can be placed wherever you would like your coffee. So far the machine has been 1. in the kitchen, 2. upstairs in her bedroom on Sundays for a luxurious breakfast in bed 3. out tailgating plugged into the car inverter 4. in various hotel rooms during her spring roadtrips.
The folding cup tray, enables you to use either a cup or mug directly under the spout.
The CONs of this product are:
1 pod makes 1 Nespresso Cup = 4oz = 1/2 US Mug.
A mug of coffee requires 2 pods.
No frother attachment. Milk has to be heated and frothed separately.
Addictive: this machine is so quick and simple to use that my mother has actually increased her daily coffee consumption.
Highly recommended for those who want to but cannot make a decent cup of coffee for any reason.

I would not have thought I would be alive long enough to see a “Jetsons” reality. (I guess Raymond Kurzweil was right when he said technology will grow exponentially) This is truly a futuristic dream come true. The Nespresso produced coffee is the best. Perfectly intense without bitterness. I cannot imagine how someone could invent something so easy to use without compromising even a fraction of quality.
I purchased the bundle, Citiz and Aeroccino Frother and together they make an incredible latte.
