After years of using a Gaggia manual expresso maker and getting fed up with the time taken to make a coffee (and in my case often not great as I am no barrista) before work, I decided to try the Nespresso Cube. I am very happy with my purchase. The coffee is good, Nespresso has a good choice and, for me, I can get a nice expresso before heading to work at 06:30am. It is easy to use, easy to clean, quick to heat up and inexpensive when compared to a coffee house.
It is also easy to create 'longer' coffees, add milk etc by adding some heated or frothy milk yourself
You need to be aware that all Nespresso coffee pods can only be ordered direct from Nespresso. Check out their website for information. I ordered extra pods from Nespresso and they arrived within two days - fantastic service. I have no complaints at all and although perfectionists may say it is not as good as my Gaggia, well that depends on how good you are at making coffee. I certainly wasn't, so this is a dream for me.
For those that want to use their own coffee, you can buy re-usable pods online - a quick search will find the company who produce them.
