Was looking for a "normal" coffee machine (can't spell capucinno) - see, and checked out the Nespresso macines - quite by accident. Easy to use, great coffee and great choice !! No mess either. At first I was not impressed by the cost of the capsules (64c each) but after talking about other machines / grinders / clean up / bar pressure / timing and practice I was dubious I could produce the "great coffee I enjoyed at my local shops. I knew the Nespresso tasted great and I knew I could do it myself - everytime!!! THAT WAS WORTH 64c each time. Come to think of it - at my friends houses with coffee machines - none of them are really THAT nice a cup of coffee. After a little thought over a nice skinny latte I realised it is all about the taste - Nespresso had it !!! Simple. There were several machines BUT the Krups 897 had the "normal" milk frother and at half price ($350) it won me over. Perfect coffee time after time. The Krups is a breeze to use - very quick and versatile. 30 seconds to clean at the end of the day. The only complaint I have with the Krups is that the space between the spill tray and the coffee extraction is a little low and I keep having to take the drip tray out to get coffee into the mug ! TIP - froth the milk in the mug and then add the coffee - don't have to use a stainless steel container, you know how hot the milk is because you can feel it through the mug, you can froth different kinds of milk with ease.
