Product Description
The Nespresso C190 Capsule Espresso Machine is a true standout in design, convenience and performance. The unique shape, dubbed the Concept series by Nespresso, brings style and a choice of color to the kitchen. But the beauty is much more than skin deep. The C190 has a powerful pump capable of producing 19 bars of pressure and a unique capsule ejection system via a revolutionary jaw device. Simply lift the lever to fill your next capsule and as the jaw opens, the last capsule is automatically ejected into a collection receptacle in the body of the machine for later removal. Nespresso has taken the capsule concept and made it even easier to use. A special steam wand aids in frothing milk for cappuccinos and another setting is perfect for steaming milk for lattes. Nespresso espresso machines are designed to be used exclusively with the Nespresso hermetically sealed capsule containing a precise amount of freshly roasted and ground coffee. The aroma and flavor are protected until you are ready to brew. With 9 premium coffee blends available, you are sure to find a perfect match for your palette. The individual serving capsule system is extremely easy to use. Brew one espresso, cappuccino or latte at a time. Eliminate the hassle and mess of grinding, scooping and tamping your coffee as you would with traditional expresso machines. Cleanup is a snap – never touch the coffee grinds. With the jaw handle up, you are ready to insert a new pod to make your next cup. One press of a button to starts the brewing and when your desired volume is reached, another press stops brewing. The C190 espresso machine is a single boiler unit, but heat up time for steaming is quick. This model features a special titanium color body with chrome accents and chrome plated metal drip tray. Features Include: – Automatic ejection of used capsules into the collection receptacle – Steam function for cappuccino – Manual volume control – 19 bar pump – Temperature regulation system – ABS housing (Ac…

I splurged on this machine from Williams-Sonoma after buying a $60 machine from Target that I had to return because it didn’t work. It was originally intended for my husband as I am not a big coffee drinker, but I’ve ended up having a morning cappuccino several times a week since we bought it because it’s so easy and delicious. I can make espresso or cappuccino in just a few short minutes and don’t have to worry about cleanup because of the capsules.
The Nespresso capsules have both positive and negative qualities. It would be nice to have the convenience of using regular coffee (or Starbucks, if you prefer), or to be able to buy the capsules in stores rather than only online. The cost is higher than it would be using just coffee beans (about 45 cents per cup of espresso), but as my husband pointed out, he was spending $3.50 per cup at Starbucks, so it can save money in the long run. Positives: the capsules are so easy to use, just pop one in and start the machine, and after you’re done there are no grounds to tap out or mess to clean up. We got the “Roma” flavor (very good) and ordered the flavor variety kit, so if the other flavors are as good as the one we’ve tried, this will probably be the best purchase we’ve made this year.
most recent blog entriesThe C190 is very easy to use and quick as well to deliver that first morning espresso or cappucine. Very clean and neat with the cartridges and the cartridges I’ve tried so far have been good. The crema is absolutely perfect–always the hardest thing to achieve at home (IMHO). Would have gotten 5 stars, but always leery of proprietary cartridges……
most recent blog entriesI grew up in Greenwich Village, and espresso has been a passion since high school, since I first tried it at the great Italian cafes on MacDougal street, Caffe Reggio and Caffe Dante among others. I’ve had great coffee in Paris and all over Italy. I can’t stand Starbucks espresso — too bitter, tastes burnt. And all the espresso machines I’ve bought in the past have all tasted like third rate Starbucks.
But the Nespresso machine is the answer to my prayers. The coffee (particularly the Ristretto kind) bring me right back to Europe and Greenwich Village. It’s the real thing. And so easy to use & beautifully designed. The capsule system is no-mess and fun to use.
It’s been my new favorite toy since my wife got it for me for Christmas.
Bravo Nestle! You were there for me as a kid with Qwik, and now you have made my adult life equally happy.
Who’d have thought?
