This was my second nespresso machine (first was a gaggia - got rid of it cos it kept breaking down, but that's another story). The man at Harrods persuaded me to get this one instead because it made fantastic cappuccino. And he was right! The milk frother was fantastic and I was in second heaven. For about 20 cappuccinos. Then it gave up the ghost and produced warm, flat milk. After several long and frustrating conversations with the Nespresso people they agreed to repair it: they provided an excellent collect and drop off service with a fairly crappy but serviceable replacement coffee machine (not a Krups) to keep you going. 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.

I notice that Nespresso are now producing a dedicated mild frothing machine which does nothing else but froth milk. It is my suspicion that they have had to produce it because of the failures of their fancy cappuccino makers, or am I just being cynical? The new gadget costs almost fifty quid and I thought I might try to persuade them to give me one for free.

Watch this space.
