Nespresso D290C Concept Automatic Espresso Machine, Polished Chrome

Got my machine on time. There was a slight issue with the retailer but the issue was promptly resolved by the customer service department. I would buy from this vendor again.

This is a great product. It is compact, clean lines, works easily and is easy to cleanup. The hardest part is choosing which coffee pod to try next.

Works as advertised and is superb. Very pleased with it. Instructions are not as clear as they could be.

Love it. Love the coffee. Love the convenience. A little less plastic would be nice, and it sounds like the aliens from WAR OF THE WORLDS, but those are small quibbles. If you love European-style coffee/espresso but don't want be a home barrista constantly cleaning your machine, this is for you...

No issues whatsoever with this new machine after about one month's use. Love the ease of use and cleanup. Highly recommend!

I went to Williams Sonoma for a demo. Received the item but couldnt froth the cappucino as well as the demo that was shown to me. However, I am very happy with this machine and the quality of the coffee is very good.

I've had 3 of the Nespresso 150 coffee machines for about 5 years divided between my offices and home, which have worked splendidly. Finally the gaskets are starting to harden, and water is starting to leak, and one or two could use cleaning. The 150s are fine and I'll still use one at home, but I just got a fire-truck red D290 for the office. However, after using the 290 for a couple of weeks, I may have to get another for home.

Aside from the shock of paying so much for a coffee machine, I couldn't be more pleased. I rationalize that with three shots of espresso per day, after two years at work (~600 cups), the pod and maker together are just $1 a shot. Similar logic "paid off" for my old 150s, and saved oodles of time in line at coffee shops.

The espresso is very good (at fifty cents per capsule), the capsule delivery is easy and quick ordering from the web page, and the brewing is easy even before I've had my morning caffeine. Plus it looks cool and the lever and buttons all have a solid feel.

My advice - order the special coffees, which show up about twice a year, they taste the best. The spiced flavors take a cup or two to get used to, now the apple flavor is a pleasant change. Too late, the spiced flavors sold out as of 1/24/07.

Read the manual, it just takes ten minutes. Put it where it can be admired, and lock it down, and prepare to be asked for an espresso by your friends often.
