It's the one product with which Nestle has truly outdone itself. Yes, the Nespresso coffee machine is probably the best thing to have happened to the aromatic brown bean and to those who love their brew. Simple and innovative, Nespresso has proved to be a product that everyone wants on their kitchen counter or office space. Simply because they know their coffee can't go wrong with it! This article provides a full review of Nespresso coffee machines, their design, technology and varieties.
A simple machine that requires the user to merely insert an aluminum capsule filled with coffee and press a button that makes the hot water flow through, it is no wonder that the Nespresso is becoming such a rage. Its ease of use and dependability - whether you're making espresso, latte or cappuccino, makes Nespresso a must-have for every kitchen.
What's more, a Nespresso machine requires almost no maintenance. Nestle advises users to regularly change the water in the machine so as not to take away from the freshness of a brew. The only other thing you need to do to keep your Nespresso going is to order fresh 'pods' - metal capsules filled with coffee the strength of your choice that can be placed neatly into the machine to produce your brew within seconds.
Nestle makes these pods in 12 different Cru's' or varieties of coffee, which are graded 1 to 10 in strength so you can customize your brew to suit your taste. You can also choose from aromatic profiles ranging from Roasted, Honey and Cereal to Spicy, Woody and Flowery.
While investing in more advanced versions of the Nespresso such as the Latissima can cost you anywhere up to $700, basic versions such as Magimix or Krups can be procured for about $160. There is an in-between range of Nespressos too plus or minus some features. A pack of 10 capsules is also priced relatively high at $4, certainly more expensive than a bag of coffee from your regular retailer. Either way, investing in a Nespresso is hardly cheap but you can be assured of having brought home a quality product that you will come to love.
Since the Nespresso is available only in six stores in the US and a few in other countries, the easiest way to get your hands on the machine is to go on the product website and place an order. Here, you can also choose from the wide range of pods on offer, place an order online and have the goods delivered to your doorstep.
Having recorded path-breaking sales since its introduction, the Nespresso has truly carved a niche for itself and won several awards consistently for design and innovation. As Nestlé's standout product, it is constantly being reinvented to cater to a wider consumer base and offer a quality experience that is at par with the highest international standards.
If you enjoy a good cup of coffee and don't like waiting too long to get it, the Nespresso is definitely for you. Low-maintenance, 'reasonably' pricey for its quality and assurance of good results - these are the characteristics that make the Nespresso a well-rounded product that you won't regret investing in. Definitely a product worth considering if you're scanning the market for coffee-makers!
