Makes great quality espresso and cappuccino

LOVE this and so simple

It takes 25 seconds to have a wonderful espresso and about 35 seconds to have a cappuccino. What a fantastic world! Small appliance that doesn't take up lots of counter space and looks elegant.

Word of caution, once you try this machine, all other cups of coffee will suck.

While I'm no coffee expert, I consider myself a coffee aficionado. I drink my coffee black, no sugar. I like to actually taste the different notes in the coffee. My wife, likes it 75% milk, 25% coffee. It was hard to find a machine that would be easy to use and easy to clean while serving both of our different coffee needs. I must tell you, we absolutely love, love, love this machine. 1. It's the perfect size (it's small, it won't take much counter space at all). 2. It's easy to clean and maintain. 3. The coffee is just the right temperature. 4. It creates amazing foam which makes the coffee look amazing with milk and without. 5. Most importantly, the coffee just tastes amazing. Now for the cons: 1. It makes all other coffees taste like dirt. Specially the big S. So, you really enjoy your coffee at home. Outside, its just average. 2. Not a big deal, but because of it's size, I fill the water reservoir about 2x per week. But, then again, we love the machine so much, we drink about 2-3 cups each, per day. 3. The dispensary gets filled quickly, then again, we use it a lot. 4. The price, while for us the price is every well worth it, this machine is not for your average cup of joe drinker. This machine are for people who really enjoy drinking a great craft coffee but don't want to pay $5 at the big S store. All in all, I highly recommend it. A couple of recommendations: 1. Use the Original Nespresso Capsules. I've tried the other coffee and there is inconsistency on the actual capsules which you sometimes have to force it. Furthermore, I have yet to try another brand of coffee that has the same consistency, depth and flavor than those produced by Nespresso. 2. Use filtered Water. Don't use tap. Keep in mind that no coffee maker that I know actually boils the water, if so, long enough to kill any of the bad stuff. Plus, better water, better coffee. 3. When using the Milk system, rinse the milk system before drinking your coffee. Milk dries quick and it doesn't dry very nicely. We drop it in the dish washer about 2 times per week for thorough cleaning. 4. Share the love. When people come over to your house, give them a cup of coffee, it will bring joy into their lives. Lastly, I wrote this review because I truly enjoy this machine. I have no compensation, incentive or rewards for writing this review. I hope you enjoy this machine as much as we do. Have a wonderful cup of Joe day.

Well thought out machine that makes excellent coffee

This is a really, really nice machine. It is sooo easy to use and to clean. It makes a really great cup of espresso, cappuccino, or latte. I love that the machine froths the milk rather than having a separate machine or French press for that. The size of the brew is programmable up to 5 1/4 ounces. It will not make a full size coffee, so don't expect that. The machine warms up very quickly. Push the on button, and go select a coffee pod, and by the time I am back the machine is ready to brew-- not much waiting for it to preheat. Load the pod, make sure there is water in the reservoir, hit the button and within a minutes start to finish, you have a really tasty cup of espresso. To make a cappuccino or latte, use skim milk. The machine will froth all the milk you provide, so how much it adds to the cup depends entirely on how full you make the milk holder. Do make sure that the arm is pointed at the cup and not straight down – a no brainer, but something I failed to check once (only once). Clean up of the milk frother attachment is really really easy. There is a button you have to push when connecting the pieces and when removing them. (You don't want a small plastic wedge to snap because you failed to push the button to get it out of the way). The attachment is five pieces. I remove the silicone straw and the black plastic connector and rinse all the parts and reassemble between uses. It takes maybe 60 seconds. Once a week, I take all the parts off and put them all in the dishwasher. When you open the lever to insert a coffee pod, the used one drops into a container below. Even the container is well thought out. It is two tiers: the top holds the used pods, and the bottom catches liquid that drains from them. Every few days I remove the container, dispose of the pods, rinse everything and return. The quality of the Nespresso coffee is worthy of a coffee bar. It is a lot more convenient though, and a lot less expensive in the long run. I know it sounds like I have nothing bad to say about this machine, but the only thing I can think of is the upfront price, and the size of the milk container. It would be nice to be able to load more milk to make multiple cups, but I can see why that would be a problem too (think rancid milk or pouring leftover milk back), so it's nothing to complain about. In response to the comment below, I will say this review is real and it is indeed my opinion based on personal experience. I have a half dozen coffee makers from a french press, a Krups espresso maker, stove-top espresso maker, a Keurig, a Cuisinart drip machine, and a Nespresso Virtuoline machine. This Nespresso espresso machine is my favorite in fact. It is fast and convenient, and you can buy Nespresso pods, or get really good off-branded ones. The Virtuoline would be my favorite, but it uses only proprietary pods so options are limited. If you don't mind buying from Nestle, that one also makes both espresso and full-size coffees, but does not froth milk.

Makes a great latte in less than a minute

Elegant, easy to use, and makes quality coffee drinks. The milk frother is so easy to use and allows you to make great cappuccino/ latte with ease. The only downside is that the machine is a bit noisy, but not to the point where I wouldn’t recommend this machine

Love, love, love!!!

Love, love, love! Only wish it could make a large cup of coffee. Then I could get rid of my keurig! Haha. For anyone thinking about this, buy it! If you love lattes then this is your machine! ❤️😍❤️

Its only limitation--and it's a big one: The milk system must be disassembled and cleaned after EVERY use.

This is a five-star machine, IF you fully understand its one limitation.... Are you comparing the Lattissima machines? Trying to decide which one is for you? If you are looking for a machine to make no more than one milk drink a day, or if you have limited counter space, seriously consider this machine. I think this is a good choice if you only make a cappuccino or latte macchiato for one person, as the machine does not have self-cleaning built into its system. (The other Lattissima machines do have a cleaning system.) I think this is the machine's only fault: The milk system must be cleaned after every use. And (according to the "Daily Care" instructions), the milk system parts need to sit and soak for a half hour! Now, if you make only one cappuccino a day, this would not be a big issue for you. If the machine needs to make two cappuccinos in a row, then that is a big issue..... And you should choose one of the other Lattissima machines--not this one. If you don't often, or ever, make a cappuccino, and you are looking at one of Nespresso's smaller machines, (CitiZ, Pixie, Essenza, for instance), then this is a step up and a good option for you. From experience, I can say that there will come a time when you want to try a milk drink..... But, it is a beautiful machine! Really stylish and striking with its minimalist look. Besides being a smaller, more streamlined machine, the other main difference between the One and the other Lattissima machines is a streamlined, simpler, system of dispensing milk. This machine always puts the milk/milk froth in the cup first, (which is a cappuccino or a latte macchiato), coffee pours second. It also dispenses the entire amount of milk that you have put into the milk container. In other words: The milk container holds enough milk for one serving, and it is up to you to put in the amount of milk that you prefer, (up to 4.2 ounces). If you usually forgo milk, this machine makes an espresso, (1.35 ounce), or a lungo, (3.71 ounce), or can be programmed for any amount in between. We've had a Nespresso machine in our kitchen for over a decade. We first bought a CitiZ. Then added a separate Aeroccino for milk froth. When we determined that the Aeroccino was not as efficient and convenient as we'd like it to be on a busy work day morning, we moved to a Lattissima machine. (DeLonghi makes a Plus, a Pro, and an "American" Plus.) And those are all great machines that can be programmed to size/strength of pour and amount of milk froth. They can give you just hot milk or water. They are large enough to serve a dinner party. They work quickly, efficiently, and clean up easily. How to top those machines that last for over a decade and work effortlessly, and use the best coffee blends that we could ever wish for? I can't think of a feature that these machines don't have. (Okay, I do wish that DeLonghi would make a drip-less machine, but I don't think that's possible.) So, here comes a streamlined model for one person. Cleaning is tedious, but easy: You rinse out the machine by pressing the lungo button without a capsule inside. And all five pieces of the Rapid Cappuccino System must be disassembled and can be cleaned in the dishwasher or by hand. But, on a busy morning, if you've made a cappuccino, this means that you cannot just turn off the machine and walk out the door. You need to run a cycle of hot water through the machine and take apart the milk system. (I run the hottest tap water into a large tupperware container and drop the pieces into it, then out the door I go, to deal with cleaning it further when I get home.) Other facts: --The little stand that sits on the drip tray, used to elevate an espresso cup, is completely detached. On other machines, this riser is part of the machine and slides in and out as needed. --Water tank holds 34 ounces. --5 1/4" between drip pan and spout. --Drip pan is 2 1/2" wide. You might be able to wedge in a bigger diameter cup, but it would not necessarily sit evenly.
