Nespresso M100 & Aerocinno, 2009-01-05
Magimix Nespresso M100 Coffee Maker & Aeroccino (Metal Grey)We love our coffee and have longed to get something approaching the expresso's and cappucino's you can get on the continent. We have tried many different machines and had previously failed to find anything to impress. Having read the reviews of the M100 I decided to give it a try and I have to say my wife and I have been absolutely delighted by the results, it has exceeded both our expectations by a long way. It is incredibly simple and quick to use with your choice of strength determined by your choice of coffee capsule and amount of water run through the machine. All the expresso's have that wonderful creamy head and a range of strengths and flavours to suit most pallets. Temperature is perhaps a tad low, but OK if you preheat the cup (not scalding hot coffee though). It is also very clean, using sealed capsules which drop into an internal tray after use. Only criticism is you cannot slip a standard 'mug' under the spout which means if you are a fan of large weaker coffees you have to tip the mug to remove and top up from a kettle (but I am talking about a >330ml mug so a large coffee such as an Americano). For those who love lattes and cappucinos the Aerocinno it a truely amazing bit of kit. Hot milk with a fabulous fine foamed head with the mini wisk and a slight head with the stirrer, all done in about a minute (and also very simple to keep clean). I bought a complete set of all the coffees from Nespresso as a starter and they range from strength 3 to 10, a wide selection of ~10 expressos, ~3 lungos and ~4 decafinated versions. Cost about 23p per capsule. I have no hesitation in recommending the unit for home use, it's a real treat.
Amazing bit of kit, 2008-07-10
This is the first time I've ever reviewed a product but this is so good that I thought I should have a go.
I bought this to replace another Magimix Nespresso machine that had an integral steam/heating nozzle. This had been great but was wearing out. I'd had it a few years and I do make a lot of coffee. In my opinion the separate coffee machine and milk heater is far superior to my previous combination unit. The coffee has an excellent crema head to it and the milk temperature is just right. Unless you prefer mouth scalding, straight from the kettle, temperature, this will be perfect.
Also there is no mess with the milk heater. The steam nozzle system was fine but this is so much better,
Finally, both items are well styled and finely engineered. All in all, I'm not sure how this could be improved on.
Worth every penny, 2008-05-27
My husband likes a good espresso and I like a latte, and this machine satisfies both of us. We struggled with a Krups espresso machine for a while but never got to grips with it, and have also tried coffee from a Senseo machine - neither of them come anywhere near the Nespresso for taste and ease of use. We have had the Nespresso coffee maker for a couple of months now and it is still a real treat to decide which capsule we want from our selection box and then enjoy a delicious cup of coffee. We always warm the espresso cup with hot water from the machine first so haven't had any problems with the temperature of the coffee that one of the other reviewers had.
Fantastic little machine - no mess, great coffee, 2008-04-30
I once shared a flat with a friend who brought her traditional espresso machine to live with us. She was messy, and her machine was even messier. Hot milk spluttered everywhere and coffee grounds sat in drifts around my kitchen - it put me right off such machines. Now, many years later, my heart has been quite won over by this machine. It's tiny, wee, sits right next to my kettle and the whole time I'm out walking the dog each morning I think longingly about the coffee I'll have when I get home. Only trouble is I'm starting to have two coffees a day, sometimes even three.... and they are delicious.
You just switch the power button on and it heats up in a minute or two, ready to go. Then you pop in a pod of ready-ground coffee, slip a cup under the spout and press go. With a little practice you'll know which of the many Nespresso coffees you prefer, how much water, whether you want milk and so on. Yes the pod system is a little pretentious - you join the Nespresso Club and order pods 50 at a time which are delivered to your home (so you have to have somewhere to store the boxes). But it does taste really fresh and it's hugely cheaper than a Starbucks habit. No mess, the aeroccino makes great latte or capuccino when you're in the mood, and it's hot but not too hot to drink straight away.
I use the water from my water filter which (a) makes delicious coffee (London water is too hard to make really nice coffee) and (b) means I don't have to descale my machine. It's incredibly easy to refill the water supply and clean out the old coffee pods - I just wish I could find an easy way to recycle them.
I spent a couple of months deciding whether or not to buy it and then got it in January. Four months later I'm even more pleased with it than when I first bought it. A great product.
Great coffee without the hassle!, 2008-10-23
If you want great coffee without any hassle or mess, this is a superb little machine. After 3 months of use, I'm delighted with my purchase and would thoroughly recommend it to others. It takes seconds to clean and the coffee tastes amazing, helped by the very well-designed Aeroccino. The wife's impressed with the results too, although she figured out long ago that it's quicker and easier to ask for a coffee than make it herself!
