Good points

Good Points

  • Very good for ease of use.
  • Can accommodate taller cups easily.
  • The machine reads a bardcode on the Nespresso capsule which then changes the water volume, temperature etc. which is required for that specific capsule.
  • If the user holds the button during espresso extraction, they can control the volume of water released. The machine will then remember this amount for that specific capsule.
  • Used capsule tray is on the side of the machine which makes it very easy for the user to access, remove and empty.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Only OK milk frothing score.
