Nespresso and pod coffee makers

Here is a red capsule with a cappuccinator, coffee capsules without any additives, normal milk in the cappuccinator, not dry, without soy, sugar and flavorings ...

[Alexandra]

This is a capsule coffee maker, ampoules contain sugar, milk powder, soy lecithin ... and of course coffee too

Alexandra
What do you mean ??? But I didn't know ... And I, a naive daisy, thought that there was nothing but coffee ... Thank you for prompting!

[Tiny]

Tiny, I am a meticulous person. First I read it on the Internet, then I called Nespresso - they said that they had nothing to do with their capsules and gave the phone number to Nestlé. They also disowned themselves and gave a website 🔗
There is a detailed composition of each type of capsule, you can see for yourself how much sugar and all kinds of non-coffee additives there ... For cappuccino foam there are separate capsules with sweet flavored foam ... that is, espresso and lungo consist of 1 capsule (with sugar), and cappuccino and latte - from two capsules.

Girls do not take a capsule coffee maker My husband was presented with such a KRUPS2100 at the company
, so she's been gathering dust on my balcony for 2 years now: (Not only are the capsules expensive, 10 pcs - 300-350 rubles, so you can't buy them yet, only in a special magician or on an Internet + delivery and golden coffee is obtained if you can also call it coffee. As for me, it’s generally unnecessary thing, it’s better to somehow save up and buy an inexpensive, but decent coffee maker. But as they say, everyone can afford it and the possibilities

The capsule is good at work, no need to wash anything.

My colleagues and I have one Nespresso coffee machine and a cappuccinator for 10 people, each one orders whatever capsules she wants, and they bring us a joint order together. The coffee is decent, not cheap, but of good quality and without any additives. You can afford 1-2 small cups a day at work.

For home, I also consider an unacceptable option

Strange title of the topic - not a word about pods here. Only about capsules

This is a capsule coffee maker, ampoules contain sugar, milk powder, soy lecithin ... and of course coffee too

For the first time I hear about capsules, in which, in addition to coffee, there is also milk with sugar ... You sell interesting capsules, however ... We only have coffee in capsules ...

Strange title of the topic - not a word about pods here. Only about capsules

So no one has yet been able to write, but the Temka (just in case) is already ready. Write! Be the first!

Nope, I don't like pods at all. I bought it for my Saeko, tried it and they are lying around with me, disgusting. Ground just before boiling is much better. And a good vacuum ground is better.

[Alexandra]

espresso and lungo consist of 1 capsule (with sugar)

Alexandra
That is, the capsules for espresso and lungo are already with sugar? It seems that only roasted ground coffee is declared in the capsule ...

And yet, I want a capsule machine to insert a capsule and hello, well, I mean, I got a fragrant cup of coffee with a beautiful "cream" without unnecessary gestures ... Circolo ... although Melody II I'm also very cute ... I don't even know which one I want more ...

Girls, and who will tell you what kind of "beast" isemulsifier (soy lecithin), which is part of some capsules, and how is it actually harmful?

[Little one,]

Little one,
Here is the composition of "Cappuccino" for Dolce Gusto coffee makers. Information from Dolce Gusto's website. To make cappuccino, you need 2 capsules - one milk (SHE WITH SUGAR) and the other coffee - it with coffee.
The same goes for latte.I definitely don't need that.

I prefer the NESPRESSO capsule coffee maker (this is a completely separate brand that has nothing to do with Nestlé Dolce Gusto!) Where there are only coffee capsules, no milk-sugar ones, and milk is whipped in a convenient separate electric cappuccinatore.

I need a capsule coffee maker specifically for making espresso and lungo. Cappuccino, latte and others like them are not mine. But docha loves cappuccino, but unfortunately the composition of capsules for cappuccino and latte leaves much to be desired ... I'll try to look for something else ...

[Little baby]

Little baby, why didn't Nespresso suit the coffee machines?

There are normal espresso and lungo of various grades and strengths.
And now we have ordered the whole office of capsules, which every year for Christmas are made in limited editions.
This time it's an espresso with vanilla, caramel and almond flavors. No sugars

* Composition of the coffee capsule
Roasted ground coffee

In our Nespresso capsules, this is exactly the composition stated. That is why I buy them. Personally, I would not like to drink espresso with any emulsifiers and other rubbish. If you want a cappuccino, I whisk the milk separately.

Similarly

Only I am not giving Nespresso, but Nestle Dolce Gusto.
This is a COMPLETELY SEPARATE BRAND and has nothing to do with Nespresso. Nespresso capsules do not fit Dolce Gusto and vice versa

[Little baby]

Little baby, why didn't Nespresso suit the coffee machines?

Alexandra
Nespresso my dream has been for years ... well, probably 5 for sure ... At first I refused to buy it for fear of being left without capsules, then I had no idea where they were taken ... Dolce Gusto I wanted to make an espresso / lungo for myself, but I don’t want a cappuccino for my daughter, the composition of milk capsules ...
Alexandra, I understand correctly, Nespresso only brews espresso and lungo? I like this model very much both in design and in price:



I think so far ... although it's time to write a letter to Santa Claus, otherwise he is in a hurry ...

[Little baby]

Yes, Little baby, just like that.

I only advise you to pay attention to the newer design of Citiz - I gave a photo a little higher in this theme. there are cars of different colors.
And to the machine or separately - be sure to buy an Aerochchino plus electric jug for your daughter (only necessarily with the addition of "plus" - it is a little more expensive, but it whips up not only hot, but also cold foam, and warms up the milk of the loya latte)

That is, in one of the Citiz machines there is a cappuccinator in the kit (just it in the photo), and for all other brands and types of Nespresso coffee makers it is sold separately - only shiny metal, not black as in the photo.

Innul, go to the Nespresso boutique once. There (freebie, sir!) You can taste coffee and then decide what to write in a letter to Santa Claus. True, the first time you may not get "your" coffee, but if your health allows you, you can try all 16 varieties + 3 Christmas ones. Now, when buying a Nespresso coffee maker, they give a coupon for 2000 rubles for the purchase of capsules. In my opinion, the only drawback of Nespresso is the price of capsules. If 30 rubles for a cup of espresso is not straining, then it is a very good option.
p.s. If you decide to buy Nespresso, then do not take it in boutiques, the price there is about 1000 more expensive (you must justify the "free" tasting)., Look at Mediamarkt, Mvideo, etc.

Scarlet, thank you sunshine!

if your health allows, then you can try all 16 varieties + 3 Christmas varieties.

Allus, I have this ... only one cup a day, I have enough ... therefore

If 30 rubles for a cup of espresso does not bother

does not bother at all!

Girls, how are your cars? Is coffee brewed the same way?
I tried coffee from this machine, and caught fire with a purchase! I have never drunk such delicious food!
Tell us, are you still satisfied? Didn't you get any side effects during this time?

[Rita]

Rita, personally I am very satisfied. I have been using Nespresso for several years now. Other coffee after it seems terribly tasteless

I have just Dolce Gusto. Gave it to me because of the design. And so it happened that she has no other merits (

[Rita]

I tried coffee from this machine

Rita, and which one did you try?

The Nespresso coffee maker is serving me and my colleagues, we recently celebrated its 3-year anniversary of impeccable work

Every day 2-3 cups are drunk by 7-10 people. Everything is fine, and several more people bought the same home.

At home, I prefer the geyser Bialetti Mukka Express for the opportunity to use ground coffee (including freshly ground coffee of my choice) and the excellent quality of espresso.

And for the office Nespresso is the perfect solution.

PS I changed the cappuccinatore jug. The first was the easiest one, whipping hot froth for a cappuccino and warming milk for a latte. Now he is on a well-deserved rest (almost unclaimed at home), and bought Aerochchino Plus for work. It also makes cold milk froth - very much in demand in summer

[Caprice, Alexandra,]

Caprice, Alexandra,
thank you very much for your answers!
Gael,
I did not specify which coffee machine I was asking about, but I asked about Nespresso. Dolce Gusto is not even considered. But thank you very much for your honest answer, because it will probably be useful to many.
Krosh,
I tried from Nespresso. Or are you interested in which model of Nespresso?

[Rita]

I tried from Nespresso. Or are you interested in which model of Nespresso?

Rita, in principle, all these Nespresso coffee makers work on the same principle. And the capsules are the same. The only difference is in the design of the device itself, purely external. Therefore, whichever device you buy will be the same. Based on this principle, I bought the cheapest one for the price.

Thanks again for the valuable advice! I also lean towards the cheapest model, but the craving for design threatens to empty my wallet. Can't do anything about this addiction. So I'm torn now. Another problem is that they are not sold here. We'll have to order. In the course of searches on the Internet, almost identical models were found with a slight difference from the production of Krups, DeLongy and Megamix. And what is yours?

[Krosh,]

Krosh,
I tried from Nespresso. Or are you interested in which model of Nespresso?

Rita, yeah, the model is of interest.

I have the cheapest Essenza model

I have the cheapest Essenza model

I tried it from this one! Probably, you need to take it, since it already has proven reliability in work!

It has long been noticed that the simpler the technique, the less often it breaks down

: flowers: That's right!

[Alexandra, Caprice!]

Alexandra, Caprice!
Have you tried many varieties? Which ones did you like the most? Which roast do you prefer - stronger or lighter?
I really liked the Cosi variety, did you?

[Rita,]

Rita,

My colleagues and I have tried absolutely all varieties.
You and I have different tastes, judging by the fact that you liked Cosi - you prefer weak coffee with sourness
I like stronger coffee without acidity

Of the regular varieties, my favorite ones are Livante (it is the most "average" in strength, without sourness and without specificity; on its basis, 3 flavored varieties are produced every year for Christmas) and Roma. I like the very strong Indria (special variety) for energizing - it is not as bitter as Ristretto, but also very strong. I also use it for cappuccino

A limited number of Christmas varieties will start selling on November 14th. Flavors this year - chocolate, cherry, vanilla

If you like sour varieties - pay attention to Finezzo, and from weak ones - Rosabaya (special variety, more expensive)

[Alexandra,]

Alexandra, thank you!
I didn’t notice that I like sour coffee. I know for sure that I do not like too bitter and overcooked. Too strong too.
I will definitely draw attention to the varieties you indicated. Now I am faced with a choice - I need to order coffee for 2-3 months before the next opportunity - this is probably two hundred capsules. And since, practically, I have not tried anything, then the torment of choice is simply torn to pieces by me.

[Rita,]

Rita,

It's just that Cosi is distinctly sour for me, so I decided ...

Usually, together with the coffee maker, they give a tasting set of capsules of all varieties, 1 piece each

[Rita]

Rita, I'm ashamed to ask, have you already bought yourself a typewriter? If the answer is yes, then the next question is, which one did you settle for?

[Rita]

Rita, I'm ashamed to ask, have you already bought yourself a typewriter? If the answer is yes, then the next question is, which one did you settle for?

I just bought it. Took the same as Alexandra and Kaprizulka - Essenza.

[Rita,]

Rita, Congratulations on your purchase!
How are your first impressions?

And my colleagues and I are all together (more than 10 people) this year are disappointed with the Christmas varieties of coffee capsules ... "Chocolate" tastes sour, "Cherry" has a floral aroma, not cherry and cherry pits, not cherry, and some kind of liquid coffee (although all three are based on Levante), "Vanilla Flower" has a less pronounced aroma and taste compared to last year's "Vanilla" variety ...

Thanks a lot, Alexandra!
I can only express my impressions for Catholic Christmas, when the machine comes to me from Switzerland :).

[Girls]

Girls, but is there a difference (apart from design) between Nespresso from Delongy and Nespresso from Krups?

[Little baby]

Little baby, there should be a difference in the functions of different types of Nespresso - the cheapest without automatically memorizing the amount of water for different types of coffee, the more expensive - the more bells and whistles. Different firms have slightly different feature sets. The main thing is that all coffee makers are suitable for Nespresso capsules. Based on this, I took the cheapest one, it came with a free auto-cappuccinator-jug of Aerochchino and turned out to be a Nespresso brand. If there were a different brand, I would take it.

[Alexandra]

Alexandra, thank you very much !!!

I took the cheapest she walked with a free auto-cappuccinator-jug Aerochchino

Oh, that's lucky, so lucky !!! Just yesterday I was looking at this jug, I also thought about taking the most ordinary Nespresso and Aerochchino. Although the jug is not cheap, but all the same, it comes out cheaper than buying Nespresso Citiz & Milk ... Although the latter is also very pleasant ...

[Nespresso Citiz & Milk]

Nespresso Citiz & Milk ... Although the latter is also very pleasant ...

Have you seen her in real life? I also wanted this model at first, but I was told that it is very long in depth. And the console, on which there is a mug, is somehow flimsy attached.

[Little baby]

Little baby, then such coffee makers cost 10,000, and now over 5,000, so take the cheapest machine and separately Aerochchino Plus (it whips not only hot, but also cold foam). You can find some promotions, for example, here, when buying a coffee maker, another coupon for 1,500 rubles for purchasing capsules 🔗
I then also bought a cappuccinator for the promotion for free

Cheap Essenza differs from City with milk only in that the same jug is connected to the coffee maker by a single stand, so it seems to me that it is not so convenient to fit it into the kitchen interior

Rita, there is not a flimsy stand, it is just made so as to adjust the height of the glass - for espresso / cappuccino and for a tall glass for latte. City design is good when you need to squeeze into a narrow but deep space, which is why Cityand Milk is nonsense for me

Thanks a lot, Alexandra!
I can only express my impressions for Catholic Christmas, when the machine comes to me from Switzerland :).

I hope your purchase does not disappoint

[Rita]

Have you seen her in real life?

Rita, I saw. Moreover, I felt it from all sides ...

And the console, on which there is a mug, is somehow flimsy attached.

I didn't think so ...

so take the cheapest car and separately Aerochchino Plus

Alexandra, thank you, most likely I will listen to your advice, besides, it (your advice) completely coincided with my decision ...

Today I went to the store, captivated by this model, such a compact mini-piece:



This one is even more compact (Havesame, but more expensive than the first by 2 thousand):



At the moment I can't choose between this and the first shown model:

Hello, I changed the Sako-Santia coffee machine (little space in the kitchen) for a baby

[Little one,]

Little one,
Focus on the size (which is more convenient for your particular kitchen) and on the design - everything else is, in principle, not very different.
If for the price - the last one is the cheapest.
Most Stylish - Medium
The first one is also very pretty

And do not forget to look where the selected model is sold for a special offer in order to buy something else for the same money - a coupon for capsules, a set of dishes or something else.

[anina]

anina
And how do you like it? Are you satisfied?

Focus on the size (which is more convenient for your particular kitchen)

The less space it takes, the better !!! But in general, they are all pretty compact, well ... plus / minus a little ...

Most Stylish - Medium

PPKS !!!

And do not forget to look where the selected model is on sale for a promotion in order to buy something else for the same money - a coupon for capsules, a set of dishes or something else.

Already looking for !!!

Alexandra, I never tire of thanking you for your help !!!
