I want one but dont know if I should fork over the $399 that they sell for here.
Do you have one? Do you use it everyday? How much did you pay??
Thanks!

Ummm we have one, it was a gift.
It's great but the coffees are expensive, $20 for a pack of ten capsules which means if you have only one each everyday they don't last the week
DH loves it but only gets the coffee every now n then. I think the coffee is cheaper off the website, nespresso but you need to buy 50 at a time minimum. ;)
I have one and I love it!!! I have a Delonghi Citiz with the milk frother - we paid about $450 for it but that was nearly a year ago and we got a $50 cashback.
We buy the capsules online from the nespresso website - they are $6.80 for a pack of 10 for the regular ones and $7.80 for a pack of ten for the special ones (we buy the special ones). There are minimum order amounts of lots of 50 per order but if you order 200 capsules at a time, postage is 50% off. A normal order of 200 capsules costs us around $150 and lasts 2 - 3 months. DH also has the same coffee machine at work, so he doesn't drink it as much at home which saves a few pods I think.
I love love love my machine and the coffee is great!
ETA: Also it makes great babycinos for the kids. If you hold the button in on the milk frother, it froths the milk at a cold temp so the kids can have babycino which they LOVE!!!
We have a Latissima, that we picked up as part of an insurance claim after our break in, so we got it really cheap and a cashback offer too.
My DH loves it, but it does get expensive with the pods, so we don't drink it regularly/all day, maybe just one each a day, but that's just what suits our budget. I do like the coffee, but honestly, I don't think it's hot enough. I'm not one to like really hot coffee, but to me I can drink it straight away no worries, and I like my coffee a little hotter than that itms?
Very convenient and fuss free, just wish it was a bit hotter. Have you had a demo of them? Our Myers in the city has a great set up where you can try all the coffees and machines etc
We have the Latissima, just got it for Christmas. So far so good, I am really enjoying the coffee - I only have one a day. Order through the nespresso website, great that you can choose from 16 different coffees dependent on what you like. Thumbs up from me x
Oh Im really wanting one now! Off to Melbs this weekend and fingers crossed I can find one cheaper than here!!
I love my Nesspresso machine!!!!!!!
DH bought it for me for xmas when they first came out so I think ours was about $650 back then. Our pods are only about $4.00 for a pack of 10 and we buy them from myer. I use it almos every day. I have one in the morning and then I normally have a decaf one before bed with bailey's or Kahlua in it :)
we have one. DH LOVES coffee. He has had numerous coffee machines - all of which he has "loved" and "played" with for a grand total of approx 1 month each time. But the nespresso? Well, he got it for Father's Day... and still uses it around 4 times a day!!!! I think if he could, he'd marry it :rofl:
Oh I wish we had Myer here. They are building one but it's still a year or two away ...:
Nespresso pods are so good because the machine really doesn't need to be cleaned out (with the exception of our milk frother) so the coffee keeps tasting good and never burnt or bitter like in lots of coffee shops where they don't clean the machine often enough. Every 200 coffees though, you are meant to descale it. DH has just bought a descaling kit from Nespresso for ours so I'll let you know if it makes any difference once it gets here :)
The pod machines are awesome. We have a "DIY" coffee machine but the girl in the store made me a coffee from a Saeco machine with a pod and boy was the coffee nice!!
I probably would have been more likely to buy a Nespresso if George Clooney came with it :rofl:
We have the Le Cube. I've had it 2-3 weeks & love it. We got it on sale for $349 & then got a $50 cash back offer on it. So it came down to $299.
Because they use pods the coffee is always fresh, the only downside is if you want to buy pods in person you can only go to Nespresso boutiques (both of which are more than 30 min from us) but you can order them online & they will ship to a P.O. box
We have a Le Cube too. Best investment ever! DH will drink 2 a day and I'll have 1-2 (when not pregnant). The coffee is perfect, everytime. That's what I love about it. We paid about $400 2 years ago and we've had our Aeroccino replaced once as it was playing up.
mmmmmmm now i want one :rofl:
DH and I went to Paris as part of our honeymoon and we discovered that most of the street vendors, who sell baguettes, choc eclairs, pancakes and coffees, had Nespresso machines. And there's a huge Nespresso shop on the Champs Élysées (promise I'm not being pretentious with those accents... The iPhone did it for me!) amongst all the designer boutiques!
Strange but true! Nespresso is huge over there and they love their coffee so they must be ok!
Its the same in Italy, they have them everywhere and the pods are super cheap. My mum and dad just got back from Milan and didnt birng any home - devo!:
We have the DeLonghi nespresso machine at work so can't really comment on the $ side of things as I didn't pay for the machine and don't pay for the capsules (good boss huh!) but I love the machine and the coffee is YUM!!!
Is it made/owned by Nestle?
One and the same.:
Is it made/owned by Nestle?
Kelly - it's made by Delonghi.
I bought one today... Only just unpacked it so I'll be making my first one in the morning... Mmmmm :)
Kate - I think that the machines are made by Delonghi but the Nespresso name/branding is Nestle. If you go to their site, it says Nestle Nespresso. xox
which one did u get hun??
I got the Essenzo as it comes with the milk frother and it was $370 but we picked it up for $254!
oh score! can i ask wherer from?
From Myer.. They must be having a sale and then a special if you spend a certain amount you get a further $75 bucks off! We were expecting to pay the $370 and were stoked when it wad cheaper!!
I made my first one this morning.., awesome!!
I have the Latissima, too, love it! Always a great coffee, and I get my pods from the boutique on Collins St. I can't remember exactly what I paid for my machine, it was on special and a very good price though.
We were given a $200 voucher to spend at Kitchen Warehouse so I went in yesterday to buy a machine, then I got all confused and left without buying one at all.:doh:
Any recommendations on particular machines? I dont know whether DH and I will need the milk frother so am unsure as to whether I should spend the extra or not?:think: And am also thinking bench space wise as well, as it is I have limited bench space.
i wanted the citiz without the milk frother/warmer but couldnt find it anywhere! looks like the best for bench space. now that i've got it with milk though the warmed up milk goes alot better than cold milk IMO
Thanks Skybie:D. Do you use the milk frother every time you make coffee? I can be a bit lazy at times that's all!:lol:
Ang - when I'm feeling lazy I just microwave my milk while the machine heats up, then put the cup under the nozzle and put the coffee into the hot milk - too easy!
Tips on getting the coffee hotter (from Myer Nespresso rep we asked) - preheat your cup by running the machine without a pod so just the water goes into the cup (you still open and close the bit that the pod goes in, just don't actually put a pod in), then after about a minute tip water out and then do the coffee. Also the Lungo coffees will be hotter as they have more water in them and the water temp is hotter than the milk temp. Hope that helps!!
Just a quick one to anyone still waiting for the cash back, I had to ring them for something else so I asked about it because it's been 5 weeks since we sent it in. It will take 45-60 working days to receive it from the date you sent it in. They are still processing the ones from before Christmas
ang no i dont, im impatient ;) BUT in all honestly if u pour the milk in, then turn the machine on to heat the water (and the milk frother at the same time) by the time the waters ready to go and u press go the milk is usually done, my issue with it is rinsing it after i've used it. u get two connection things with it, one froths and the other just heats it. i cant find my one that just heats it....typical! lol
all in all i think it takes as long as making an instant coffee, which i no longer drink! i dnt like the taste anymore and i dont have the urge to have one. pre nespresso, 4-5 instant coffee's a day if i didnt go out and socialise post nespresso, 1 maybe 2 coffee's a day
My parents have one and I'm their designated coffee maker! At first I thought it was great - getting a coffee by pressing a button. After awhile it lost its appeal though it is better than instant anytime. I think the Nespresso machines are OK but it isn't the same as using real coffee beans and being able to make the coffee how I want to. I have a Saeco that grinds the beans for every coffee and I'd stick with that everytime. The cappucino on the Nespresso machine doesn't do it for me.
