I ordered this product after having a store demo. The coffee (Ristretto) brought back a flood of memories from a time when I worked in Europe, as only smells and tastes can. The coffee couldn’t be simpler to make, the machine is easy to use and maintain.
I ordered midnight blue. The midnight blue is not as blue as it appears in the picture; it is more navy blue. I certainly wouldn’t go to extremes to get blue over black – it’s not that different.
Okay, so you don’t have a lot of flexibility with this product – you are locked into the Nespresso capsules which you have to order directly from Nespresso. I ordered the welcome package of 200 capsules which includes all 12 varieties, and so far I like them all. It is a huge improvement over the Senseo, which IMHO makes lousy coffee, and is consistent and reliable to use – no spewing leaks, etc. But if you are a purist you will probably be put off by the limitations of having to use the proprietary capsules. If you want fast, convenient and reliable espresso and aren’t too worried about your recurring cost (50 cents per cup) then you will love this.
Be warned, it only takes short cups. So if you like to make big lattes, you will be transferring to a larger cup unless you want to use a European latte bowl.
