Review of Magimix Nespresso M200

Nespresso is cool

Advantages: Great tasting coffe in an flash
Disadvantages: The capsules are expensive

...Our family was kindly given a Nespresso machine for christmas, and since then we have proudly become addicts. A well crafted, futuristically designed unit with good water capacity. The system is easy to use, apart from the steam heating system for the milk which requires two switches to be operated one after the other instead of just pressing one button. Apart from that, the system is a doddle to operate. Simply fill up the jug, then take one of the capsules (there are loads of different flavours you can order online), lift the lid with the cool lever at the fromt and the machine opens its "mouth" for you. Pop in the capsule upsidedown (each capsule looks like a milk-carton you get on trains, etc) and close the lid. This pierces the capsule. Next, you pull the top lever forward and the water courses through the capsule, gurgling...

siemens tk 70 nespresso coffee machine

Advantages: sleek design german build quality
Disadvantages: hot plate a bit small and coffee outlet cannot be adjusted

...This is a lovely coffee machine, I bought to replace an older nespresso machine I had. The nespresso system uses capsules of ground coffee so this gives an excellent quality every time, There are twelve different blends to choose from and often a few special varieties. Christmas last year they had chocolate orange scented coffee. The nespresso system may be fairly expensive compared to bean to cup but you don't get the bitterness and its consistantly good The build quality is excellent, and the steam charges up very quickly. It has an ingenious milk frothing attachment, witch can be altered to give latte or cappaccino. The coffee capsule when inserted glides into the machine and fresh hot coffee pours from the nozzle. For the amount of functions this machine is very compact and looks very good with the amber backlight...

Nicobrevin capsules

Advantages: No nicotine - All natural - They worked a treat for me
Disadvantages: None that I noticed

...My wife and I turned to Nicobrevin in 1990. I used to smoke between 20 and (on a party night) 60 a day, and had never quite made the break on willpower alone: the first sniff of a pint in a smoky pub, and I was anybody's for a Woodbine. Having decided we no longer wanted to spend £300/yr/person to smell bad, off we went for a long weekend in the Lakes, armed with a pack of Nicobrevin. Neither of us finished the course. My wife has smoked 1 crafty fag since starting it (on day 2). I haven't had any. Neither of us have ever felt like ex-smokers are s'posed to (always fighting off the craving) more like we had never started. Placebo effect? Maybe. Needed a bit of commitment on our part? For sure. Side effects? Nil. I have been recommending these non-addictive/nicotine free capsules ever since then. Best £18.00 I...

Review of Nicobrevin Nicotene Free Capsule Course

Latte pelican make your coffee

Advantages: Simple to use, perfect results
Disadvantages: Expensive, pods only available from nespresso

...My most preferred drink is a latte, but it has to be prepared and presented correctly to make it so. It has to be just the correct temperature; layered with steamed milk, coffee and topped with frothed milk. This is not so easy to achieve. Over the years, I have used different machines in my quest to make my own but have never been really satisfied. Until now, that is!!! As a surprise present (and it was a complete surprise ? I never suspected a thing) from my family, I received the Nespresso Magimix M200. The great advantages of the machine are that it is so easy to use achieving perfect results with relative ease and it looks very stylish in an unusual sort of way. The machine operates on the Nespresso Pod System. There are nine coffee blends, ?with a richness, subtlety of aromas and smoothness of crema to delight even the most...

Elizabeth Arden eye capsules - Worth it?

Advantages: Nice packaging, does make eyes feel softer
Disadvantages: Expensive, oily and hard to open!

...I bought these on a promotion from Elizabeth Arden a little while back. I bought them on a recommendation from a friend who has used these before. They are individual capsules which contain liquid to use on your eye area. The capsules are meant to be easy to open, it says to twist it two times. I have not found this to be the case.. You have to twist it at least 5 times and you end up hurting your fingers (I have resorted to using scissors instead) Another criticism I have of this product is that there is too much liquid to use per capsule. They are meant to be single doses but I would say that a capsule would last (at least) two days, but once opened it they are quite hard to store (its not like you can close them up again) Also, the liquid inside the capsule is really oily so it takes a few minutes for the skin to soak it up...

Magimix Nespresso M150 coffee machine

Advantages: perfect cup everytime packed full of features for a low cost machine
Disadvantages: a little complicated to use to start with

...I have an earlier nespresso machine and have been very impressed with the coffee, so I bought my dad one for his birthday. I knew I wanted a reasonably priced machine which one I wasn`t sure which one. I went into my local house of fraser and found the Magimix M150 in the sale for £77 Bargain! The machine is basic looking, but very functional and simple to use. It heats up very quickly, and has a cup heater also can froth milk and produce hot water. Great for americano`s and cappuccino`s! The pod holder can be a little bit tricky to use to start with after a while it becomes second nature The pods are bought on the net from nespresso`s website you need to try a few to find your favourite, they cost about 23p each compare that to a coffee from starbucks its not bad value. Tip- Always use filtered water to prolong...

Ticking Time Capsule

Advantages: The future would have the piece of the past
Disadvantages: They might not want it

...I have spent ages thinking about this. What do I want to leave for the future generation to find? What message do I want to send out about our time and me, or do I just fill it with spring snakes and make them all jump. Also not knowing how far in the future this will be opened I have thought about a distant future where things we have not yet thought about or discovered are common place. After long deliberation and thought, I think I have come up with a list that Blue Peter would be proud of. 10 - Magazine / Newspaper. I would like to leave them proof of what time the capsule was buried. It could also serve to tell them what was happening in the world at this time. Also it would give them an idea of what we used to read and what we find entertaining. I wonder what they would think reading a big brother article. Would they find it...

Review of What 10 items would you put in a time capsule?

A great coffee whenever you want it.

Advantages: Neat, clean, very easy to use and produces a great expresso or cappuccino.
Disadvantages: Uses nespresso capsules only.

...and pull forward the lever to fill the cup. Should you want hot milk, you flick another switch, place the frother nozzle into your milk and push the lever back until it is hot enough. Taking all of a couple of minutes at the most. You get approx 40 capsules when you buy the machine - in a variety of blends. (The demonstrator ensured I had the full range to try, giving me 50 capsules). When you need more you can either post off an order form or shop online and join the Nespresso Club. Your order is delivered to your door within 3 days. Each capsule costs 21p - not bad compared to what you pay on the high street these days. Not only is the machine very neat and stylish, you can get a number of accessories to make it even more impressive to your dinner guests, not to mention the two expresso cups and saucers that come with it...

Review of Magimix Nespresso M200

Delicious coffee at home

Advantages: Easy to use and clean, delicious coffee!
Disadvantages: Quite an outlay initially. Capsules must be ordered online.

...The Magimix Nespresso machine serves up delicious coffee, with the rich creamy foam on top that's difficult to get from other domestic coffee machines (without spending £350 +) For around £200 - which I admit is a significant outlay for coffee - you get a sleek looking machine which is simple to use and, best of all, very easy to clean. You don't have to bang compacted coffee out for a start, just empty the reservoir of used capsules. You see, the actual coffee comes pre-packaged in small foil capsules. It is supplied in a variety of strengths and flavours - in colourful capsules a little like thimbles. You place the capsule in the machine, press the lever down and hot water is jetted through the coffee to deliver a delicious, hot expresso - into which you can add hot water (from the spout) to make an americano or steamed...
