I am afraid, after much searching, a poor outcome. Perhaps, one of the compelling oros of Nespresso is that you can try it first. I was not given the chance in this case and, ok, I bought the item, but it is not going to happen again.

I've used several other brand coffee machines over the years - this one is rubbish. you can't fit a normal cup under the group head, the coffee isn't hot, the coffee has no crema, when you want to empty the group head of the coffee grinds it fulls out. I paid NZ$250 for it, it not worth $150!

I bought this item. Design is so beautiful with my home.

see above! No water flow, coffee holder, filter not moveable, did not fit into socket, absolutely unacceptable, not quality control!?

Love this machine. Bought with a Dualit grinder. Its clean and produces a nice coffee with the right fresh bean. Some reviews said it leaked from the steamer - well maybe a little if you did not turn off fully and maybe the odd drip even if you did.

Very happy with the unit - it took some experimenting to get the full flavor from the coffee - needed more tamping then our previous machine. Milk frother is very good. Heats up fast enough. Easy enough to clean. Not as noisy as the previous machine (Sunbeam).

I was really excited to get this machine because my little Bella from Target finally pooped out. Not only was I looking forward to a 'real' espresso maker, I loved the look and size of this machine.

Simple and gets the job done without drama. Could be heavier and not move so much on the counter. Worth the price.

Looks good and makes great coffee

Could fit bigger cups; however is you take out the metal drain cover you can fits mugs

I've had my machine a month now, it makes fabulous coffee easily. The only downside is not being able to fit a mug under it without taking the drip trays out. And it does keep dripping for a little while after the coffee is made. The Coffee is the best though so I'll put up with those issues!
