Well worth the price, if only for the Aeroccino!

The Aerocchino may not be exactly like a traditional milk "frother" or steamer, but it actually works more easily and reliably than the older Nespresso system I had that eventually stopped working. The Nespresso machine itself as always is easy to use and works well.

Always Hot!

The machine is fabulous! And the coffee is always hot! Much better than hey Kuerig coffee maker The only problem is that it’s tough to find my favorite coffee from Nespresso

BEST, EVER.

LOVE LOVE LOVE. The pixie heats up fast, produces fast, so easy to maintain. We learned you just lift the water container’s lid and that instantly releases the container to refill. The tray easily goes up and down depending on the height of the glass or cup you’re using. The milk frother is super fast, my boyfriend feels fancy after he makes us cappuccinos in less than a minute. The original line’s capsules are cheaper than the vertuoline’s pods and our machine has never crushed a capsule, ultimately wasting it, like vertuoline nespresso machines have. These are the reasons why we bought this particular machine set a few months ago and we are still extremely happy. We use it multiple times a day!

Love it...borderline irrationally.

I finally "get it". Forget all of the technical specs and machine mannerisms and ability to clean. Forget that it doesn't take up a bunch of room on the counter. Forget all of the detailed pros, cons, and other wishy-washy back-and-forth stuff most thorough reviews go through on high-end appliances like this. I believe I've found how to sum up the pleasure that this machine brings in one sentence. Ever since I got my Nespresso, I have found that it's something I look forward to and actually SAVE instead of using every day. I often find that I'll think about making a cup, but won't unless it's something I can take the time out of the day to savor. Yes, it's reminiscent of coffee shops in Europe. Yes, that's a good thing; that's all you could ever want. The coffee's the perfect temperature and tastes just phenomenal. The Aeroccino is something to be cherished. It makes perfect foam for your perfect cappuccino. It's a pleasure having this machine in my life. It somehow wedges its way into your day, helps break routine, and forces you to sit down and really just enjoy a cup of coffee -- something I think we've lost with the drip brewers that adorn our countertops today. In full disclosure, the last thing I had ever expected a "coffee machine" to do was make me sit down and reflect on life. That's a tall order for anything, let alone a single-serve kitchen appliance. However, it makes some of the best coffee I've ever had and all from your home. This machine is an indulgence in pretty much every sense of the word but I would argue it's one indulgence we should all make more time for. It's great for anyone who 'enjoys the little things'...or wants to.

Outstanding!

Outstanding! We considered several Nespresso machines and came down to the Pixie and the Inissia. We picked the Pixie, and I couldn't be more happy. It is a very well built, high quality machine, and makes great tasting espresso very quickly. It is amazingly simple to use and goes from off, to ready to brew in about 10-15 seconds. If you are considering a Nespresso machine, this is a great one to buy.

The Morning Game Changer

I have no idea how I ever existed before this machine. If this machine (or especially the frother) needed a kidney... I'd donate. Seriously, I look forward to waking up now. Starbucks is so hit and miss on drink quality, but thanks to this machine and the frother of happiness I'm no longer paying $6 for a caffienated cup of dissapointment. I make it myself and it's a 10/10 every time. Pro-tip: add 3 pumps of vanilla (I use Torani sugar free vanilla) coffee syrup to your milk before you froth to enjoy what I call The Caffienated Marshmallow. So. Good.

One of the best purchases I’ve made.

I like lattes, but not so much to warrant the purchase of a professional grade machine. This machine makes consistently-decent espresso and lattes (with the separate frothier). Yes, there are options that provide better quality, but for the price point, this is a great buy, particularly if you are like me and get five or six lattes a week. The frother even does a decent job with Silk-brand almond milk.

Great espresso maker !

I love this machine ! Super easy to use ! The milk frother works pretty well but be careful to watch the fill lines as it will overflow and make a huge mess . The machine takes up little space and is very well made . I love it !!

Simply makes great coffee

EDIT: I wrote this review in 2017. I love this machine so much I decided I should come back and say that after 2 years it’s still going strong! It’s construction is obviously very high quality, no surprise since it’s made in Switzerland. Probably one of the best Nespresso machines on the market.// The machine simply works really well. Came packaged very nicely and professionally with 16 pods of each flavor to try and also came with a coupon for $10 off a reorder of pods. The pods were about a month expired but it really doesn’t matter, those expiry dates are essentially meaningless especially for Nespresso pods. It was nice of them to even include free pods in the first place. The machine makes delicious espresso in a few seconds and it’s the perfect temperature for me. If you like a hotter espresso, startup the machine and run a lungo of water (with no pod) before inserting a pod and making espresso. The appearance of the machine is very nice and it employs nice materials. I was expecting the side panels to be plastic and the pump handle to be plastic, but they are in fact high-quality metal pieces. My only complaint about the machine is that it drips for a while after making the espresso, but that’s no problem because there’s a drip tray. Aeroccino makes perfect milk froth and hot frothed milk. One thing that isn’t conveyed very well in the Aeroccino documentation: the lower “MAX” line is the limit for milk frothed with the spring (whisk) attachment and the upper line is the limit for milk frothed without that spring attached. I find a rubber spatula works well for getting the froth out. Make sure you don’t use a metal spoon, that will damage the coating on the metal and ruin the frother.
