5 out of 5 stars convenient and tasty   May 28, 2010

I received my Nespresso machine as a gift. Though I love coffee, I would've never bought this for myself. In my mind espresso machines are big, messy, and a hassle. And honestly when I realized that you had to buy specific "pods" for this machine I silently groaned in my head. But the fact that the espresso is in a pod is the whole reason why it's such a clean machine. You never even see grounds. The only thing you have to worry about is if the reservoir has water in it, and every few days you have to empty the pod receptacle. It is super easy to use. Pretty much every morning, the first thing I do is turn the machine on. I'm quite shocked that after 6 months I still use this thing daily. Not only does it produce good espresso, it's faster and easier than making a pot of coffee. My only complaint is that the machine is plastic. I haven't had any problems, but it SEEMS kind of flimsy. It is very cute though, and takes up little counter space.


5 out of 5 stars If looking at Citiz, Read this first   August 17, 2009

-C100T vs. Citiz-

We deliberated over 2 machines: the C100T and the new Citiz. After doing some research, we found some interesting facts.

The initial advantages the Citiz had over the C100 were:

1) Slightly smaller counter top footprint
2) Flip-up tray for tall Latte glass option
3) Auto shut-off feature
4) Styling, (although only slightly less ugly)

However after a bit more investigation we found some not so obvious advantages the C100 has over the new Citiz.

Firstly the Citiz although priced the same as the C100, does not come bundled with the Aeroccino like C100 does.

Secondly, based on reading other reviewers, some have noted the Citiz have a tendency to jam. After further follow up, some said only when the pod basket is full, yet others have noted this not the case, it jammed even when the pod waste basket was empty. Further follow up showed the Citiz waste pod basket holds 8 used pods where the C100 as many as 12 or more before removal.

Additionally others have brought up the possible detrimental fact that its tall slim design can make the Citiz a bit tippy when loading the pod and not as stable to work with as the C100. After now using the machine I can see where that could be an issue as a bit of force is necessary to lock the lever down.

Yet another reviewer and owner of both machines said he purchased the new Citiz primarily for the optional tall glass feature then found the Citiz was more hassle to clean up because of its 2 or 3 additional parts; the C100 only has 3 parts to clean and clean up is a snap. As mentioned above we too consider the Citiz for its fold up tall glass Latte tray holder, however having now used the C100 with both short and tall glasses, it is really no big deal to hold the tall glass in place during the coffee extraction process.

With respect to counter top space, although only slightly wider in its stance to the Citiz, the C100 is not really large at all. Certainly much smaller than a stand alone drip machine and far smaller than a traditional espresso maker- about the size of a 2 slice toaster.

-The Aeroccino-
Personally I think this part of the system makes the entire coffee come together- for me without the Aeroccino, this is just a decent espresso machine.

First of all it is super easy to use, fill to the level, press the button and go. I noted during demos the Nespresso cafe folks would put the lid on downside up- at first perplexed later realize it is easier to clean up- clever. The other cool feature of the Aeroccino is if you do not want heated milk, hold the button for 3 seconds and the light will go blue instead of red- cold whipped milk for ice cafe- clever again!

Cooler yet Nespresso designed the little Latte whip and Cappuccino whisk to be held in place by magnets and there is a magnet in the lid to hold one tool when the other is in use- those Swiss are ingenious! In my opinion the Aeroccino does a better job than the integrated Latisima machine.

-Milk Types-
We were recommended to use higher protein milk as it will provide better results and based on some tests, the whole milk higher protein products do produce a really nice froth over slim milk. The machine produces Cappuccino froth amazingly fluffy while the Latte milk the Aeroccino produces is very rich and creamy. The C100 we have is made in Switzerland!

Highly recommended system!!





5 out of 5 stars Nespresso C100T Essenza Single-Serve Automatic Espresso Machine, Titan Grey   July 31, 2009

I concluded after expensive research and experimentation with a variety of espresso machines ranging from S100->1500 super-automatic that all of them are junk. The expensive ones with a grinder either stop working or need expensive maintenance. They have too much plastic components inside them. The quality of their espresso is not better than any Nespresso capsule coffee. The only way to to top this wonderful machine is to go to the HX machines/e61 group with an expensive grinder which with proper maintenance may outlive many of us and has the capabability of giving you the ultimate espresso shot. So Guys save money and time and stop fooling around. I estimated with a machine costing $2000 going bust in 1-2 years if you are lucky it stays working that long will give you 4000 shots of consistent espresso with no harm to this Nespresso machine. Think about it and decide.
