A sturdy and affordable entry into Nespresso heaven After staying with a friend in Ireland who had a Nespresso unit, I got hooked on Nespresso coffee. I bought a machine as soon as I was back in the states and have never looked back. The coffee (espresso) is rich, with a nice crema on top due to the 19 bar pressure of the machine which forces hot water thru the Nespresso capsule.Nespresso currently has 5 different machines to choose from, however the most affordable are (in order): the Inissia ($149 list, $99 on Amazon), the Pixie ($229 list, $158 on Amazon) and the CitiZ ($299 list, $175 on Amazon). There is very little difference between these machines in terms of the guts of the machine. They all offer the 19 bar pressure, have a handle that opens the top for the pod insertion, built-in water containers of roughly the same size, and programmed buttons for the amount of espresso you wish to brew. These can be reprogrammed to suit your personal preference on all these machines. The machines mentioned can be bundled…
Great espresso, without the drama. I like straight espresso. And I’ve spent quite a bit of time looking at the different types of equipment and brands on the market. I’d heard of Nespresso before. But I don’t know anyone who has one of their machines. Besides, I had already dismissed a capsule-based machine as not being a “real” espresso machine. After all, I said to myself. Isn’t a capsule-based espresso machine, when compared to a “real” espresso machine, a bit like comparing a cup of fresh brewed coffee to instant coffee?I’ve always heard that pulling a great shot of espresso requires a commitment. A commitment that requires the proper equipment, skill, and freshly roasted beans. A good espresso machine is not inexpensive. And they typically must be pre-heated for twenty to thirty minutes. You’ll also need a decent (not cheap) grinder, to grind the beans to the proper consistency. And you’ll need a tamper, to tamp the ground coffee in the Portafilter with just the right amount…
Great machine brews delicious espresso
