The weight and feel of this small machine, as my headline states, is robust and classy like an italian vespa!
It feels like a machine that for once, WASN'T built with built-in-obsolescence in mind, this feels like it was built to last!
Which as far as i'm concerned in this day and age, is unheard of...... at least it seems to me like it doesn't really happen anymore.
I went for the Italian red with black fixtures, I mean red n black c'mon.....What can I say It looks great!!
Functionality?
The water was really perfect, nice and hot but not scold-your-mouth and burn your bean kinda hot!
What else, Ohhhh the handle! Pffft when I pulled tht sucker down it had a weighty feel to it, I was pulling a handle.... downward, y'know something a newborn could do, but it felt like I had scaled olympus, performed Herculean tasks, carried the world a-top my shoulders like Atlas.
What i'm saying is, It's bizarre how satisfyingly good it can feel to use good quality machinery.
What else? You want more? Have I already drunk four cups of coffee? can you even get drunk off of coffee?
I dunno you tell me!
More:- It came with a luxury looking box of 14 free Nespresso coffee capsules. For some who get carried away with the machine and forget to buy the coffee, without the coffee, this machine serves no purpose, so that's full functioning all in one box, this will be a welcomed surprise and an instant smile generator!
Plug it in, press and hold the two buttons and it's on. Add your H2O Not to be confused with J2O, add your favourite flavour capsule while you wait the 5 seconds for it to finish it's start-up process and it's ready.
A note, Although the coffee was great, beautifully blended with that lovely creamy barista coffee look...
It didn't puncture the capsule the first time I pulled the handle down. Not an issue!! and definitely not a complaint.
It's actually a pleasant surprise, i've used these machines countless times and a lot of them don't always puncture the capsule, in fact i'd say it's a regular occurence. My point is that some machines try to send the water through anyway, and there's this huge mess all over the shop. With this, you just lift the handle up, retrieve your capsule from the container underneath, and pull it down again, Presto! Or Nes'Presto
Just a small copyright/name change there for you guys. It's so fast and simple you clearly shoulda called it that, You can have that one for free!
Feel free to send me all the stuff you'd like reviewed ok!
Cheers for the coffee!
