I've had 3 of the Nespresso 150 coffee machines for about 5 years divided between my offices and home, which have worked splendidly. Finally the gaskets are starting to harden, and water is starting to leak, and one or two could use cleaning. The 150s are fine and I'll still use one at home, but I just got a fire-truck red D290 for the office. However, after using the 290 for a couple of weeks, I may have to get another for home.

Krups XP1500 Coffee and Espresso Combination Machine, Black
From Krups
We love this machine. We have limited space and need to have both a coffee maker and a cappucino maker in that space. We have had none of the difficulties that others mention. But we did take the black plastic sleeve off of the frother and that has made a huge difference. With it on we got bubbles. Now we get great froth. And if we pack the espresso well we get an excellent crema. It is a $100 machine that makes both coffee and espresso. It is not going to be like a $1000 Starbucks machine. We set our expectations appropriately and were delighted.

- Customer Reviews
- I loved this machine from the first time I saw and tried it. However, I started having problems on day 2 - the milk wouldn't froth and it came out in spurts with a lot of water, not even filling 1/8 of the glass with milk. I took it back to Williams Sonoma and they cheerfully replaced it. It happened again to this new machine and, once again, I took it back for a replacement. (I had been in touch with Nespresso at all the junctures along the way and they replaced the milk jug and top twice.) When it happened on the third machine, I called the local Williams-Sonoma and asked if there was someone who could check out my machine. I am in the Danbury, CT area and Bill, at the local Williams-Sonoma, told me to leave it with him while I shopped and he would check it out. When I returned he told me it was frothing perfectly and then showed me how he set it up. It seems that I had not been pushing the jug connection tight enough. It has to click in. The lights had always been on and so I believed that the jug was connected correctly, but I was wrong. Not until I saw it being done and felt the connection, did I understand what I was doing wrong. Without being tightly connected it doesn't work correctly. Now I push until I hear a click and/or push it in a second time holding the back of the machine as I push, and have been making perfect lattes. I recommend this machine highly but think the documentation should be rewritten with this little bit of information in bold letters. I have seen many reviews of this machine from people who have had the same problem and hope that they found the solution as this machine is wonderful.

Since my last comment a year ago I actually have moved to the US and thanks to voltage are forced to shop for a brand new machine. Purchased precisely the same one and still be simply as glad like the primary one. Paid the value - however having said that I see that prices are falling here. The new machine operates as consistently and well because the 1st. Recommendation thus remains the same!
We bought this machine a month and a 0.5 ago with nice anticipation since we tend to experienced Nespresso many times before. Since we tend to are fans of cappuccinos, Lattes and Macchiato's this machine looked as if it would answer our desires. It did and in spades. Everything the machine is predicted to try to to it will. I scan alternative reviews however haven't experienced any of the problems mentioned. The milk froth is ok, even adjustable. I prime/clean the spout when each session to create positive all is evident. Since you'll be alter the quantities i used to be able to mess around (drinking a lot of low, sturdy and weak) before finding my 'eureka!'. It's merely the foremost simple low machine to use, with fantastic results. As for temperature of the low - I conjointly felt generally the low wasn't heat enough however when running my cappuccino mug underneath hot water before creating the low for a flash this was not a problem.
We've had friends with typical home version espresso machines that simply sit there till there's a big day as a result of it's simply an excessive amount of hassle - this machine has simply become an everyday machine for us since we tend to got it, that is what i feel Nespresso/Delonghi supposed.
PROS: nice low, several decisions (even the short intense blends work in cappuccinos or long (luongo) coffees, area for taller glasses/cups for milk coffees, simple USE!
CONS: value (pretty steep within the US - I bought mine in Switzerland for US$500) except for the convenience of use it's worthwhile, the area for taller cups is comparatively slender therefore you wish to seek out ones that may work (your usual huge Starbucks mug will not cut it here).

Customer Reviews
I decided to create the switch to 1 cup at a time occasional as a result of my wife drinks solely decaf and that i drink solely regular and figured this was the proper answer. typically i might build an outsized pot of occasional that might sit for many of the morning and she or he was aced out. Additionally, the children would love some simple hot chocolate. initial stop along the means was a Breveille Keruig-based machine. the simple of use and appearance of the Breville created it the acquisition for us. when a couple of week and a 1/2 serious use, i made a decision it had to travel back as a result of in spite of what I did, the occasional wasn't robust enough. it absolutely was typically okay, however even on the tiniest setting (smallest cup) and even with a web purchase of the daring K-Cups (supposedly twenty fifth a lot of coffee), I simply could not build a good sized cup of occasional that tasted ok. i am no occasional snob, i am going to do Peets or Starbucks, however this simply did not cut it.
Thus, off to the net for a lot of analysis and that i quickly landed on the Nespresso. I liked the reviews and set the Cube was inside my value vary. Back to the shop to interact the salesperson, and that i asked her to brew me a cup of espresso. i used to be fairly impressed by the fast, shot pull, that had a discernable crema on prime. Tasted it and was sold. i could not believe that this could be the solution to my list of necessities. I asked the salesperson if the Cube created the espresso hot enough, and she or he told me she never had this grievance. The one i used to be holding in my hands in a very very little paper cup tasted lots hot, thus I bought the cube with the Aerocinno frother and went home.
The Cube comes with a ten capsule tester. By concerning two hours when I got home, you practically had to scrape me off the ceiling. I blitzed through my ten pack and was typically quite happy. The capsules, whereas smaller than the Keruig K-Cups (with seemingly less occasional in them), made a so much superior occasional. True, i used to be comparing espresso to drip occasional, however you'll style a distinguishable distinction. The one liter water holder, could be a tad little and nearly as simple to load because the Breville. On the Cube, it reasonably slids out on a tilt and once you fill it all the means you have got {to gently|to thusftly|to carefully} place it in so on not spill, a task that's a bit troublesome. No matter, simply fill it slightly less full, and it's fine. in contrast to the Breville, the Cube water resevoir doesn't have a filter. unsure I style a distinction, and if you actually care, use water from your Brita and you'll be fine.

Customer Reviews
Nespresso has long been known for his or her espresso manufacturers, particularly in Europe (where you see them everywhere). They've had separate gadgets for creating milk-based drinks like cappuccino and lattes, too, and for the last few years we've owned one in all those coffee-making duos, the Nespresso Citiz and Aeroccino and. They were huge hits at home, particularly when guests visited. therefore once seeing their new combo unit, the Latissima+, we have a tendency to had to allow that a strive. This review can primarily consider the device as an upgrade over those 2 separate elements, since the integrated milk steamer is such a giant a part of this machine, however it ought to additionally facilitate individuals simply beginning out with Nespresso or anyone upgrading from an espresso-only model.

Customer Reviews
My wife and I were in Paris recently for 2.5 weeks and loved the coffee there so much that when we returned we just had to have an espresso machine at home. Researched a variety of espresso makers and decided that an automatic machine was what we wanted. We figured that at some point the novelty of measuring, tamping, cleaning, etc., would grow old and our enthusiasm for making espresso (not drinking it) would diminish, so we agreed that fully automatic was the way to go. Bought the Nespresso Romeo on Amazon last week and have used it many times since then. We absolutely love it, and our friends rave about it, too. Nespresso has more than a dozen different flavors/strengths of coffee in their capsules, which you have to use in this machine. I was a bit concerned about that, but my research indicated that the coffee was of very high quality, and my own tasting over the last few days has confirmed it. Terrific coffee, every bit as good as in Paris coffee bars. And it is just so easy to use and clean. Haven't used the steam element for capuccino or lattes yet, but it appears to be fairly simple to employ. Very good instructions in the provided manual and book, and also on line. I highly recommend this product.
