Krups Nespresso Concept FNA2

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.

The Machines Performance --------------------------------------- I had seen the Coben Alessi Nespresso Machine in my local Alessi retailers shop previously to the day I bought it: longing for the day I had the money to buy it. The lady in the shop was too an Alessi enthusiast; and was able to tell me all about the machine and all about Nespresso. The display machine had been used daily in the store for 8 years, this gave me huge confidence in... Read review
