Those who place value on really excellent, quickly and easily prepared coffee, which actually comes to the Nespresso system over very difficult.
At the unit:
It is in the Krups-Maschie the identical DeLonghi pixie, what is that here was developed by Nespresso patent is installed. So it always is the same inside. As far as I know there are a few other manufacturers, but I can not judge. Priced the Krups is below the DeLonghi in the upper third.

- Actually comes to mind nothing
Conclusion:
As I said above, who lays emphasis on Macchiato very good, prepared quickly and easily Espresso, Lungo coffee and latte, exactly for this machine is intended. Sure, a freshly ground espresso filter holder may also have a Krups Pixie not hold a candle, but that of course demands money, time and effort.
The selection of Nespresso capsules in my opinion is very good, there should be something for every taste. The "imitation" capsules of other providers should not demonize, but once you try it. There are quite inexpensive capsules that are very good quality.
