Glad you're enjoying it SB, I've been using mine more and more! I'd be interested to hear what people's favourite capsules are, I'm currently enjoying Indriya Espressos and Fortissio Lungos.

On my machine, you can tailor the size of the espresso and lungos, has anyone done this or is it sacrilege?

Does anyone put sugar in their espressos? I never do but I've heard a lot of people mention that they do.

If you buy any machine before the 31st of May register with Nespresso for ?40 credit towards capsuals,

It just depends on what one thinks good espresso is. For me if you want to constantly achieve sweet, complex espresso with clear identification of subtle flavours and great mouth-feel you must use a machine that can provide a consistent 8.5-9.5bar pressure throgugh the shot and a consistent and tweak-able temp of 92-95 DegC. You also need consistent steam pressure to achieve silky smooth micro-foam for great milk drinks. No domestic machine can achive any of these parameters.

My fave by far is the Dulcao as it's a blend of bourbon espressos which were always my favourite beans to buy. I take an espresso shot of this with a half teaspoon of sugar.
Indriya is very good too and I get through quite a few Ristretto as they make a great base for cappucino.

You must be, to quote a colleague " billying yer tit's orf " with that amount of caffeine in you, you've only had the machine 9-10 days!!

Bringing this thread back to the top.
4 months in and I still use my Nespresso daily, it's just awesome being able to fit in a quick espresso shot before work and a cappucino after work with minimal hassle and great results every single time.

Seriously people, if you are considering buying one I 100% recommend it.

My aeroccino broke recently and they replaced it instantly, great service.

I have this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nespresso-Ma...2370746&sr=8-1

As far as I understand it the different Nespresso machines are purely aesthetic and they all give a decent result. I would definitely go for the aerocino too as it just makes cappucino so easy!

[Deano]

I've got a silver version of that one. Definitely suggest people go for a black-ish one as the grey metallic look on mine is just plastic. Meh.

Definitely go for one with an aeroccino.

[senor_robusto]
