Why we decided for a DeLonghi?
Now we both (2-person household) drink very much like coffee. Of course, coffee is not just a caffeine dispensers, but also a stimulant for us. It should be said straight away that a Nespresso machine must also be seen as luxury items, otherwise the value for money would not be worthwhile. Because the coffee is offered here is pure luxury.
We had a choice of Senseo, Nespresso and Cafissimo. Since we always squinted with one eye to Tchibo Cafissimo series, we nevertheless let us advise you. Of course, in a SATURN market directly from a DeLonghi saleswoman.
It is important before going for a system decides (capsule or pad) should you look at the coffee / machine show or relish. Because here you realize already differences whether you use a flavor-sealed capsule which is prepared bar with 19 or has a pad with 5 bar.
Coffee quality:
You do not realize why Nespresso is nothing like advertised by George Clooney. Even otherwise, the advertising works very professionally. The coffee tastes wonderful. There are umpteen varieties. Nespresso was of course first a pure espresso provider. But we drink increases the Lungos and cappuccinos. Both taste great. Even decaffeinated coffee is wonderful. One notices the Nespresso coffee plays in the top league and just overtaken the Senseo or Cafissimomaschinen here. Of course, the coffee has the right temperature.
Coffee:
We opted for the Italians. Of course you can also opt for products of Krups. Both machines take nothing in performance and quality. But we wanted the Delonghi because they looked us a bit better and also simply good fit in our kitchen. The machine is compact, slim and very easy to use. The unit comes out with 2 buttons: 1 for espresso - 1 for Lungos. Capacity can be easily preset course. The water tank is placed at the rear of the DeLonghi. Simply remove and pour water. The heating process takes max. 1 min. The capsule is inserted, pressed up. Then just open the door again and the capsule is taken including in the collecting vessel. Capsule should definitely in the yellow bin / yellow bag. In the residual waste capsules have nothing to look although there coffee grounds in it. The reason is that the capsule made of aluminum and they are harmful to the environment and costly for the treatment in conventional garbage. So always right in the recycling bin so.
Disadvantages:
After sipping the coffee again and again with relish and it tastes very delicious, there are also some disadvantages mentioned. It should also be said that you are treated very laudable of Nespresso. There is a free 0800 hotline, product catalogs, noble letter letter. You can tell that customer loyalty works and one is literally greeted with a touch of luxury. Very high quality.
But the disadvantages can not be avoided. On the one hand there are the capsule prices. For an espresso capsule you pay 33 cents for a 35 ct Lungo up. 37 ct. The Preiso per cup are so violent. Nespresso capsules, there is also of no no-name manufacturers, but must always directly over the Internet or in the Nespresso - be ordered Store. Fall for each order on shipping fees, unless you ordered horrendous number of sets. The shipping costs are EUR 3.50. Delivery will be made, however, promptly and in noble packaging. The capsules are in turn detrimental to the environment (aluminum packaging) and must be ordered only in the Nespresso Shop. Elsewhere you get no coffee for this system. This is absolutely essential to observe unfortunately before buying, because one is forced by buy directly from the seller.
Conclusion: We do not regret buying our Nespresso machine. Those who opt for a Nespresso system, buys a piece of luxury here. The coffee tastes excellent and the trappings true. Who are price (not the machine because the price is OK, but coffee) and purchase binding enough, you should consider purchasing definitely here. For someone who wants to drink only times fix some coffee, should think carefully about whether it is right here. For Nespresso is a pleasure and you have to live it.
