I've gained the Essenza me a few weeks ago. The machine confirms the tests in which they, as far as the coffee, often performs better than the more expensive fully automatic. Both the espresso, as well as the Lungos are top class and I'm actually a much more expensive Saeco usual. It pays off, that the DeLonghi operates at a pressure of 19bar which can ever boast very few devices. I opted for the manual version, so I can decide how much water I run through the capsule, or how strong the coffee is to be. Nespresso offers to a selection of 12 different types of coffee capsules, in different strengths and flavors. However, this can only through the Internet (directly from Nespresso), or obtained in one of the shops (Delivery within 1-2 days). There are probably not a machine in this price range that produces a better result. Nevertheless, for households drink a lot of coffee, the Essenza is probably better suited as an additional machine as a capsule price of 31-33 cents in heavy consumption, in the long term probably comes quite expensive.
