Anyone have a Nespresso Machine?
We were just on vacation and the hotel room had a mini Nespresso machine. (it also had a BabyLiss hair dryer as the in room hair dryer, and a mattress like I have never slept on in my life, but I digress...  )
It made this amazing tasting coffee out of these tiny pods- way smaller than a Keurig pod.
It was clearly made for a hotel or dorm room- it was tiny and didn't have many features, but now that we are home we are missing that yummy coffee it made.
I looked at some Nespresso machines but it was overwhelming and many seemed to have a ton of features I am not sure I need.
Also, I don't see those pods readily available anywhere like you see K cups, so I was wondering if you had to order them online, if they were pricey etc
Does anyone have a Nespresso machine? If so which one do you have and how do you like it?

Re: Anyone have a Nespresso Machine?
I have one! I actually bought it at Costco! I'm Portuguese so just having espresso shots is super popular but I also bought a foaming gadget on amazon and use it to make lattes! I have the pixie one and I think it was a steal at Costco last year - about $90.

Re: Anyone have a Nespresso Machine?
I have one. I love it. I think its the citiZ & milk frother.
It makes the espresso and has a frothing thing attached that makes hot or cold frothed milk.
We just order a bunch of pods at a time and it hasn't really been a problem, but Ive never seen them in stores. I love the vanilla and caramelito ones. Also the 'lungo' ones make a larger espresso shot than the regular ones. Some of the stronger ones you can brew on lungo too if you don't like super strong espresso.

I have one, with the frother. Since I'm not a coffee connoisseur, and I mix the coffee with tons of frothed cream to make a latte, i order the nespresso dupe pods off Amazon. 100 pods for 25 bucks. Alot cheaper then what I was paying for the nespresso pods.

Re: Anyone have a Nespresso Machine?
Interesting. The one in the room had no frother obviously.
It was tiny but it made the coffee so fast and it was strong and delicious with a bit of a frothiness to it right out of the pod. You almost didn't have to add any milk or cream so I assume maybe the pod had some kind of milk powder in it or something.
I need to look into this.

We have a nespresso one which we got at Macy’s - I think the base model. It’s small and it does nothing other than make espresso. But we love it - it’s all we need - and we use it all the time. We get the pods on amazon- I think it’s like $35-40 for 50 capsules so really not too bad. We even make yummy espresso martinis and stuff with it!
Pretty sure this is exactly what we have except ours is older and looks slightly different. Link

It's frothy because it's espresso and brewed with pressure, so that foam is just a lot of air in the espresso. It makes it look creamy though.

So delicious. You should definitely get one, haha. I love a nice foamy espresso shot Saturdays at 3pm. It's so quick and easy, faster than a kuerig and it tastes better. And you can serve up fancy lattes for your guests - which in my case is tired moms, ha!

I think this might be my Christmas gift this year! Lol
I swear I had no idea about this fancy little machine until we got into the room and I said to dh, look at this cool coffee machine. They had a whole drawer full of pods, sugars, coffee and espresso cups too. We were hooked!
I actually requested extra pods be brought to the room because we wanted it in the morning AND at night after dinner. LOL

I have the pixie and the aeroccino. I love my nespresso! Biggest issue is finding pods, I order directly from Nespresso.

Re: Anyone have a Nespresso Machine?
I saw a Nespresso display at Target yesterday.
They had a Nespresso machine in the room we were at in Punta Cana last week. I now wish I tried it.

Anyone have a Nespresso Machine?
I do not have a Nespresso machine, but I have used them at hotels. The coffee is delicious. They are really popular here and they have Nespresso shops here. I can’t drink coffee anymore for health reasons. However, one thing that always bugged me was the fact that the plastic waste from the pods was not good for the environment.
