This compact espresso machine provides a lot of service for its size. Its sleek, timeless design has minimum buttons for maximum functionality. The preset buttons for single and double shots mean you won’t have to guess when the brewing’s done, though you can reprogram those settings to customize the espresso strength you prefer. Other programming functions include automatic on/off, changing the language of digital display, and indicating your water hardness level so the machine can control scaling. The steam/hot water attachment is easy to use: just press the button and wait a few seconds, then froth some milk or dispense hot water for tea or other uses.
This machine uses custom capsules of espresso. The small plastic capsules are premeasured for one use each. Just plop a capsule in the capsule holder and slip it into the spout ring, which has an attachment that punctures a hole in the capsule and perforates the bottom. After making the coffee, tip the used capsule into the garbage can and you’re ready to brew again. The catch is that you can only use these capsules, not any other ground espresso, so you’ll be required to stock up; there are a variety of coffee types available, however, including decaffeinated. The capsules can be purchased from Nespresso, either by phone or at their web site. –Cynthia Nims
