Advantages: Looks nice and makes superb coffee in a timely manner. Very nice product. Disadvantages: For the first few times we used it, it seemed to small somewhat of plastic.
...This is a great little machine - it looks fab, which is important if you want a stylish kitchen, and fits in well with any colour scheme! It is sleek and smooth and very up to date.
The 'new' small if plastic took a fair while to go - destracting from the lofwly fresh coffee aroma which pre-empts a great coffee experience. This was despite a good old soaking in the washing up bowl!
The coffee stays hot for a long time, and keeps its freshness, and once finished, the machine is so easy to clean, it goes in the dishwasher, and retains its sparkly newness!
For the money, its a superb machine! It took me a long time to find a reliable machine which looks well in my kitchen....

Advantages: Ease of use, perfect coffee, great for frothing milk. Disadvantages: Hard to use a mug for coffee
...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...

Advantages: Good espresso, good pump pressure Disadvantages: Not easy to use
...The Krups espresso machine cost £80.00 when I purchased it from a local store. It comes with a coffee holder and a frother.
The coffee holder is generally good, it comes with two seperate strainers, one for 1 cup and the other for 2 cups. It has been known for the coffee holder to "pop" out of place if not secured very tightly. This causes very hot water and coffee to explode all over the immediate area. Part of the reason for the holder coming out of place is that the whole unit vibrates so much when pumping that it works its way around the worktop if not held down while it pumps.
The frother that it uses is attached by means of a rubber cap that houses a small tube. The tube has a small platic part with a reduced diameter hole at the end. This part got lost down the sink in a short space of time, rendering the frother part useless...

There is nothing better than a hot cup of coffee as soon as I step into work. We are all coffee addicts so we formed a coffee club whereby we all clubbed together to buy a cofee machine and we try new and exciting blends on a weekly basis. After spending more
