Nespresso D120-US-AL-NE Review by S. Runyan "Scott R" (Memphis, TN)
This product is beautifully designed and functionally flawless. It makes excellent espresso and cappuccino with a beautiful crema. The Nespresso club, where you buy coffee for this machine, has a lot of coffee variety, and ships very fast. The Aeroccino milk frother/heater does an excellent job, an absolute must for cappuccino drinkers.
Nespresso D120-US-AL-NE Review by T. Robison "Got Aperture?" (seattle, WA United States)
After pining over a Nespresso machine for well over two years, we (my wife and I) finally found a deal we couldn't pass on. A Nespresso Citiz w/Milk, in fire engine red.
A little history follows. I've been grinding and pulling my own shots of espresso now for 20 years plus. Yes, you can get excellent results doing such. But there are a lot of issues involved. First, you have to find a coffee product that meets your tastes. And when you do, you generally stick with that product. Next, you have to grind the beans, usually only what you need for that day, or shot. Any extra amount begins to lose its quality, so I would always grind what I thought I needed, at that particular moment.
After grinding, you fill your porto filter (or whatever you call it), tamp it down, place in machine, press a button, and viola, you see nothing, or hardly anything dribbles out into your espresso cup. You remembered to use the exact same grinder setting you used last time you ground your beans, but this time, it was too much.
Back to grinding some more beans, resetting the grinder, and throwing out the rest of what you previously ground (big waste). You repeat the procedure, and this time the shot whooshes into your cups, nearly splattering you with brown colored liquid. Maybe it was too little tamping, so you try and make another, and sometime later, you get it just right. Perfect grind, with the perfect amount of tamp.
You finally get perfect espresso, and you are happy!
What happened between this time and the last time you made successful espresso? The new bag of beans you bought were either richer in oils, or the humidity in the house had changed, or your Mother-in-Law had something to do with it.
You endure more years than you care to remember doing this quaint little ritual, but never get over the pain-in-the-butt inevitabilities of having to clean up these little messes time and time again, month after month, year after year. Oh, what fun!
Then, while visiting friends in Europe, my wife and I were served a cup of espresso from this cute little machine, sitting on our friend's kitchen counter top. At first, I thought, "Oh how cute, this will be good (NOT!)" And then I was floored by the fact that the little shot of espresso was absolutely delicious! Thick crema, nice body, good mouth feel, and oh, so tasty. We were sold!
So, flash forward a couple of years, and we now have a cute little Nespresso machine of our own, sitting on a kitchen counter top, beckoning its use. No more hassles, no more grinding and wasting. No more moments when the old machine grrrrrrrrd, and buzzed, and labored through a too tamped, or too oily grind. Now, it's just a near perfect shot of espresso, every time!
Oh, and that's not all! The milk part is really cool, and a snap to use. The included Aeroccino milk machine, for either frothed/foamed milk, or steamed milk for latte's, or your own hot cocoa, is a marvel of technology. Easy to use, easy to clean up, afterwards.
I can only recommend the Nespresso Citiz to those that want to forego all the little intricacies of doing it the way we did for too many years. Oh, yes, you can purchase a fully automatic, $600 to $1500, wonder machine, and when that clogs, as it eventually will, have fun carting that 25 lb. anchor to your local fixit facility. We haven't done that, but friends of ours have.
As for the capsules, and Nestle's lock on their distribution of them, well, I have no problem with that, myself. At the current price of, $0.57, per capsule, and the very fast mailing service after ordering some, I'm very satisfied! I would gladly trade that, and did so, for the hassles recorded in my preceding diatribe.
Nespresso D120-US-AL-NE Review by S. Lu "Howard" (N. Potomac, MD USA)
If you are a real espresso/cappuccino enthusiast, this machine may not be suitable for you. Coffee is not dense and lively to the level "I" want. Milk frothing is too thick, not flowing. You can only buy nespresso coffee capsules from Nespresso. It feels affordable, but not cheap. However, the machine is conveient, and provides many coffee choices. It servers well when you need a quick coffee, and usually impresses your guests much.
