My first impression of this product was that it was nicely packaged and felt like a good quality product. It was very easy to unpack and set up. The initial cleaning cycle was quick and the machine was ready to use immediately.
The machine has a one touch function so it is very quick and easy to use. The pods have a barcode so the machine automatically recognises the pod and adjusts the water volume/temperature/brewing time etc for that specific drink.
Spent pods are collected in the waste receptacle so this makes it easy to collect a batch and discard when full.
Prior to using this machine, I’ve been using an automatic bean to cup machine. Obviously there is no substitute for coffee made from freshly ground beans but this cost more than ten times the price of the Nespresso. For the price, I think the Nespresso is good value for money, and great for convenience as you don’t have the job of clearing out coffee grounds or buying/storing fresh beans.
There is a good variety of coffee pods available for the Nespresso and it is easy to order directly from them.
These are not the cheapest pods, and it does not seem like there are any alternative pods this can be used unlike the older Nespresso machines which do not use barcode pods. I have come across a refillable metal pod which could be used with pre-ground coffee but have not actually tried this.
I do think there is a good variety of pods but I wish the retailer provided more details about each one. I find the variety a little overwhelming -because the product was supplied with some free pods, this is not too bad but if I was buying them, I would not know where to start. When I buy beans, I know what I am looking for and what taste I want. I don’t really know with these and I think you just need to try them out to see which you like but as you have to buy the pods in a minimum quantity size, I would imagine this might put people off.
Overall, this is a decent machine. Good quality and good value for money.
One thing I dislike about the design was the removable cup stand. I would have preferred this to be attached with auto raise so that it can be adjusted to any height and not the set heights it has. An integrated milk frother would have also been useful but I suppose at this price point it would not be included.
