My machine was duly delivered, made one good cappuccino..........and, you've guessed it, reverted back to warm milk. I am fed up. I am again in negotiation with Nespresso. I am not optimistic.

A coffee lover loves all kinds of coffee, right? I do!
But like me, most of us don't want to have 2 different coffee machines in our kitchen, whether because there is no room, or because there is no comprehension from the wife/husband. In my personal... more
