We just wanted a simple, uncomplicated and small coffee maker. And that's what we got, because a milk frother, we have at home and do not need another one, but space in the kitchen are always needed and this machine is really very small and narrow.
Visually it seems to me a little different than in the picture, namely rather light gray blue and a little less shiny. However, there is a manual in the form of many small strange images that I find quite difficult to machine. Especially in the beginning, the guide was just a guessing game and absolutely no help.
In addition to the machine you get here is a small compilation of different capsules and can erschmecken first favorites.
The water tank is sufficient for a few cups of espresso or coffee and is very easy to take and fill the device, unfortunately the device does not display, should it need water. A large cup, although is also a very small cup and for some users maybe only once a familiarization. We feel that the amount of coffee than adequate (we are however also more opportunity Coffee drinkers with 5-6 cups a week).
The cable of Nespresso, however, really short. Far outlets should not really be here and that restricts the site selection ever again a little one. But the machine is very easy and simple to use because you only need two buttons that are located on top of the machine.
To activate you press and hold one of the two buttons to switch off and simultaneously press both buttons briefly or wait nine minutes then the machine switches on its own again (very handy if you forget it once). About the small handle then the head moves forward and you can take a capsule. Is the head resealed one chooses his drink and gets quickly hot coffee. The capsule then drops into a small waste container (with space for approximately 8-10 capsules) and unfortunately drip head a little to and actually getting. The drip tray is including capsule container pulled forward out of the machine (which unfortunately is a little stiff) and can be cleaned quickly and easily.
For us, the capsule system is ideal as we have a very different taste! I really like espressos (especially the espresso with chocolate flavor it has done to me but also Rosabaya which is absolutely mild and light) and the better half likes especially coffee and something stronger roasted flavors. Because one always makes only one capsule here, now can also insert each according to taste. And the coffee tasted really good and much better than from a pad machine, we like it even better than currently from the fully automatic machines (also because we need to clean much less here).
Now after the first tests with the welcome package we went on in the Nespresso shop around new capsules to try. We have just found a few and were very friendly and comprehensive advice. The accessories that you do not necessarily need, in our view, although is certainly very expensive but for those who love a very nice addition. Also for the Nespresso Club we have applied what is known as a bit tricky here and there proved necessary but is able to order, for example with the app for the smartphone capsules can. This app can be downloaded for free, but it does not work one hundred percent stable!
Our conclusion: a phenomenally small coffee, the quiet and quick to prepare very good coffee. A star deduction but for grottige manual and the cable being too received
Edit: In the meantime, we have noticed many a time that the capsules snarled mess now and then, and then be crushed or unused fall into the collection container, usually they can be however easily back out fishing below and insert it again. At times they are then no longer properly insert well.
