When we started carrying Nespresso machines, we didn't realize they would be some of the most hotly debated machines in our store. Folks are not sure if they perform well -- can they really make good espresso with a capsule? What is their brew temperature? Do their milk frothing options function well? You know that we firmly believe that there is a market for every machine, and while these guys are definitely not going to please an ardent purist, they have a well-loved place in many homes throughout the world for a reason: They're easy to use, no-mess and make espresso similar to what you find on a standard superautomatic espresso machine. Arguably their one drawback is their proprietary capsules, and some folks don't dig having to purchase them only through Nespresso's coffee club. But if you can get around that and you're looking for a simple solution to get your morning java fix, this definitely could be the choice for you. Since we get all kinds of questions about how the Nespresso functions, we did a few tests to show temperature, water volume and milk frothing temp so that folks would know if the basic function would meet their specs. Watch Gail run them through the gamut!
