Actually, I'm as Ostfriese yes passionate tea drinker, but I have three little girls and because sometimes you just need a little more oomph in the cup. For years I have put to joyless black liquor from the Bodum-Pumpelkaraffe itself. Until I realized abroad, can be as tasty coffee. That I'm not so a blitzemdes behemoth for the price of a cheap used car that every two years to the factory and further studies required would bring to the kitchen, went without saying. But it rankled me but that the coffee technology in the last 20 years in the home should not have changed noteworthy. Coffee like grandma or Pümpel? Because it had to be more. I began to investigate and soon met many happy Nespresso Schlürfer. Although said the paranoiac in me that it can not be soo expensive for a company that wants to bring overpriced Kafeemaschinen with the crowd, a few hundred middle loose German students to provide for product elegies with a measly package ... But curiosity finally won yet , Not unimportant also the beautiful Design.Also was quickly decided to invest the birthday money and ordered my favorite vendors. And two days later the messenger rang with the packaged carefully Amazon package. At first I was so critical and irritated because the instruction manual was completely crumpled stuffed into the box and showed slight signs of wear, but then stood in the guidance that the company "random quality checks" carried out on their merchandise and traces would explain thereby. So I even get an "examined". The application is so simple that it is self-explanatory even for a tea-drinking Ostfriesen (I naturally totzdem only good Duch read everything.) - Really a clear and simple introduction, for Leseunkundige even by completely imaged. And the coffee is a poem, a real taste revelation !! Delicious than in many Cafe, with this wonderful, light milk froth and the fabulously aromatic coffees superclass. So I think this machine you should easily afford, even if the capsule price for frequent drinkers is not suitable. For connoisseurs who want to conjure up with one or two cups a day a blissful smile culinary delight in everyday life, there are after the first cup of no turning back. Criticism of the company Nespresso I can not confirm yet. Very nice phone customer service and the huge welcome pack of 250 capsules and chic stand came within 24 hours. To ensure high price (93 euros) we can use the 60 Euro voucher, which is measured by the machine price (Amazon would not as low, it would even have been 100) charge once we have sent the invoice and item number. The bill can rest so until the credit to the Club account. That one gets the capsules only with Nespresso (and at several e-tailers), I find after I place my conspiracy theory again, no longer really bad. The quality of the various Nespresso coffee is so outstanding better than anything else you might get that I can not remember for the life of why you should try to get worse elsewhere. After all, coffee is a pleasure product, rather than a staple, so that I would have to rely in large quantities, because I have to stuff it lean wages three times a day in many hungry beaks ... And who is so addicted that he Kaffe gallons of needs that can mean from now have Pümpel and the crumpled pack of Melitta who snore peacefully together in the closet. For all others, it is about pure joy, and if I want to enjoy quality, then I have to think about how many times I can not or will -or let the halt. Everything is true in particular: This machine makes you happy ..
