A sturdy and affordable entry into Nespresso heaven After staying with a friend in Ireland who had a Nespresso unit, I got hooked on Nespresso coffee. I bought a machine as soon as I was back in the states and have never looked back. The coffee (espresso) is rich, with a nice crema on top due to the 19 bar pressure of the machine which forces hot water thru the Nespresso capsule.Nespresso currently has 5 different machines to choose from, however the most affordable are (in order): the Inissia ($149 list, $99 on Amazon), the Pixie…
Great espresso, without the drama. I like straight espresso. And I’ve spent quite a bit of time looking at the different types of equipment and brands on the market. I’d heard of Nespresso before.

I’m still deciding what “flavor” of pod I like…
