Compact and easy

The machine is a great size for my tiny kitchen and it was quick and easy to set up. I also set up the app which was easy to use and a great tool for ordering as well as machine maintenance.
The mugs from Nespresso are lovely but one thing that is frustrating about the machine is that you basically can't use the drip tray unless you use a small cup so it feels mostly pointless. I understand there isn't much they can do about this so having it be detachable is perfect.
When making hot drinks I tend to use the milk frother as the coffee isn't that hot, I have preferred making iced drinks so far since I haven't found a drink I love yet. There are a lot of drink capsules to choose from, but It is frustrating that you can only buy them through Nespresso directly. Hopefully one day other brands will be able to make them too.
The main reason I would only give four stars is, that although there is a choice, I have yet to love any of the flavours. I think you have to experiment with the flavours and types of drinks to find your go-to drink or choice. So far I prefer my instant coffee more but I still have lots to try. The subscription is a great way to try different capsules and I like that they have the option to recycle the capsules. (Yet to have filled a bag up!) I think once my cheaper subscription is up I will buy non-directly though since you have to buy a minimum of 50 capsules which I am not sure I will need.
The machine is straightforward and you can very quickly make a coffee in the morning. It is quite loud but quick, so it isn't much of an issue. Ultimately I would recommend if you already know you like the Nespresso coffee but otherwise, I would suggest their other machines which have the other sizes of capsules with more brands to choose from in terms of capsules! I think it's great that the capsules remove themselves when lifting the lid which avoids pods lingering in the machine.
It would also be perfect if you love black coffee since you need a frother to make the hot milk-based drink. I would recommend the frother generally as it's a great tool on its own and it has worked a charm on all my types of milk, it does tend to be better when not filled to the max.
The machine itself is lovely-looking, I chose black but I love the bold colours too. It is modern and compact so perfect if you are lacking worktop space like myself.
I think it will take time and more usage but so far I really like the machine.
