The art of espresso by Nespresso
More than 20 years ago, Nespresso developed and patented an exclusive system for mastering the preparation of the perfect espresso, from the selection of the finest green coffee beans through to the moment of tasting. The perfect espresso is the complex alchemy between coffee of exceptional quality and freshness, and water at high pressure, which gives the coffee body and intensity, and reveals all the subtleties of its aroma. Coffee, machine and the club are the inseparable components of this innovative system, which allow you to prepare a perfect espresso, cup after cup, in the comfort of your own home. Nespresso, an exclusive system creating the perfect espresso, time after time.
The machine
All Nespresso machines are equipped with a patented extraction system that guarantees up to 19 bar high pressure. Each element, water pressure, temperature and extraction duration, has been calculated with great precision to ensure that all the aromas from each Grand Cru are expressed, to give the coffee body and create an exceptionally thick and smooth crema.
The Krups Citiz + Milk allows automatic and programmable water sizing for espresso and long black coffee, and has an energy saving mode. The fitted Aeroccino can be used for both hot and cold coffee, perfect for cappuccino and latte. Its retro-modern design in frosted aluminium makes it a stylish addition to any kitchen.
The coffee
The hermetically sealed aluminium capsule provides the optimum conditions to preserve and prevent oxidation of the 900 extremely volatile and sensitive aromas found in freshly ground coffee. Simple in appearance, the capsule is the subject of continual technical improvements to optimise the machine’s extraction of the finest Grand Cru coffees in the world. Nespresso offers 16 Grand Cru coffees, each one with a distinct personality. Products of Nespresso Coffee Experts’ inspiration, they embody a variety of origins and aromas.
To achieve the perfect espresso, Nespresso Coffee Experts search for only the finest green coffees, which offer the most exciting aromatic profiles. Nespresso then develops each blend from these beans of diverse origin and creates a specific roasting and grinding profile. Such is the job of Nespresso Coffee Experts, insatiable travellers and creators of exceptional Grand Cru coffees.
The club

I've had it for 3 days now and just made the cappuccino I was hoping to taste. The build quality of the machine appears good and the 3 year warranty would seem to indicate that they have some faith in the machine. Making a coffee couldn't be simpler and the milk heater/frother works effectively once you get the hang of it and make sure that the milk you put in is cold and straight from the fridge.
The simplicity of the machine means that I have time to make a coffee before darting out to work at 7am something I wouldn't be doing if grinding, tamping etc... was involved. I like strong coffee and I must say I've been impressed with the quality and taste of the coffee, certainly no different than most coffee shops and you have the opportunity to make sure you get the mix right for your own tastes (for me that means very little milk and more froth) something that often is quite variable at coffee shops.
Ordering from the Nespresso website was easy and standard delivery came the next day. I am a little bit concerned about the level of waste but apparrently you can recycle the pods, something I will check.
I haven't owned other espresso machines and in the past have used a french press, however I have been impressed with the quality of the coffee made with this machine.
One of the only negatives I have so far is the design of the milk frother which means you have to be careful when cleaning/washing it as the element is part of it meaning you can't dip it in water and need to use a wet cloth.... Read more ›
This machine is well built and the capsules just drop in then disappear into the chamber for emptying later (holds about 10 used ones before needing emptying.
Most importantly, the coffee is as good if not better than what you'd drink out. Add the milk frother and you will be amazed. Worth the extra for this model with the built in milk frother as you only have one power plug then too.
The two buttons, espresso and lungo (long drink) can be set to your own amount of water so you can make it fill a long american coffee cup to suit your cups (this I think isn't clearly documented on the description here but is a great feature. Just press and hold down the button until your cup is full then release - it remembers that forever then!).
Ordering the capsules is easy, just order on-line and they are delivered next day by UPS (even the standard delivery is next day it seems).
Finally, the machine is covered by 3 years warranty. If the machine breaks down they will send you a replacement whilst they repair/replace yours. Superb.
If I'm being totally honest our lifestyle leaves us little time to be messing round with complicated and longwinded pieces of equipment in order to make a simple cup of coffee so when this machine was recommended to us (mainly due to ease of use) we bought it primarily for this reason and it is certainly far surpassed any of our expectations not only in usability but the quality too!
When the machine arrived it was a few simple steps before we were enjoying our first cup of real coffee and what a darn good cup of coffee too! I have to say I never realised how awful instant coffee really is until this lol.
The main thing I love about this machine is the separate milk bit. My husband particularly enjoys a latte whereas I (forever watching my figure lol) have it with just a drop of milk, so for hubby, he simply pops his milk into the milk frother and pours it nice & hot into his coffee whilst I will make my coffee and add a little cold milk afterwards.
Back to the ease of use issue, as with previous machines we have had, they got little use simply because it proved so much hassle making a coffee then all the cleaning afterwards. With the Nespresso, it's simples. You fill the water tank with fresh water, switch the machine on and wait for it to heat which incidentally is very quick, then pop your coffee pod into the top. If your having milk in the frother you put that in and switch it on to do it's bit. Meanwhile select your cup size from large or small and press! When the milk is ready you add it to it and voila, you have a perfect cup of coffee!... Read more ›
