Very limited instructions and no recipes for how to make different types of coffee.

The best and most useful Nesspresso machine yet. Foamer works perfectly. I wish they would make the same machine for the vert line!

Weak, watery coffee
on June 23, 2023
Posted by: Anthony
I have an old D150 machine, totally manual. Decided to upgrade and splurge. This machine makes watery coffee. I only use official Nespresso capsules, so it is not that. I made the same pod and amount in both machines and tested. I think the big issue is how much water goes through. The old machine has a much larger hole, this new one just pin-prick sized holes. I’m not sure if this machine is bad, i think they all work this way now, but I cannot see how much water a get through and extract properly.

This machine has the ability to brew any option of coffee styles as well as sizes. I use this machine every day and love it. It is a high quality machine and a good value. You have Breville/Nespresso all in one. Highly recommend
I've had this unit for 1 month. The Pro's are many - very convenient and offers many pre programmed choices. For cafe lattes, for example, the results are probably at least 80 - 90% of manual espresso machine with manual milk frothing assuming an experienced barista. I really like the ability to customize coffee volume, frothing and milk temperature. Very easy to operate - insert Nespresso pod of choice, add milk to frothing cup, use pre programmed drink formula or tweak the formula as desired and press the button! Any changes to the pre programmed formulas can be saved under a unique name for future ease. One thing to be aware of, the USA models DO NOT brew the coffee and froth the milk at the same time like the European models do. Although, the USA models will automatically switch to milk frothing when the coffee is brewed. This is because of the difference in the household electrical system in European countries (230 volt vs 120 volt). However, this is a very minor issue - just takes slightly longer for USA models. The only con - and a subjective one - is the machine uses a lot of plastic on the front of the machine - it can scratch fairly easy. All said, I have really enjoyed the machine and albeit pricey, I consider the machine overall well engineered, attractive, producing excellent results and worth the money. On a side note - I use illy pods, for example and these run around a $1 per pod with tax and a few cents for the milk. This is less than a medium regular coffee at fast food places and much less expensive than chain coffee shops where results are hit and miss - more miss than hit it seems to me! And the convenience of enjoying the coffee drink at home in proper glass ;-)
I would recommend this to a friend!
