Very Nice Machine - Some info for high humidity locationsunixman
I did not purchase this machine from Amazon - I purchased mine directly from Nespresso. It is a great machine and makes a great cup of coffee with a good variety of coffee pods to choose from. I live in Florida, and I wanted to leave a comment for other users that may be in high humidity climates. I had issues with the milk frothing (aeroccino) not consistently frothing the milk. It would work sometimes and other times not. It was very frustrating for a number of months, until I called Nespresso to complain. I got right through to an American support person and when I told her the issues, she immediately asked the state I lived in. When I said Florida, she said for high humidity climates like Florida, they recommend using only Organic Milk for frothing. Well my first thought was, give me a break - no way is it the milk I am using. But she said she would make a note in my file but she was certain if I switched to Organic Milk my frothing issues would go away. She said it has to do with the extra stuff in regular milk and how they interact in the higher humidity climates? Well, low and behold - she was right. Since I switched to Organic every single froth has been perfect. It took me a very long time to get this information, and I wanted to post it here just in case someone else is having similar issues. I have used all types of Organic milk to test things out - Horizon, Ogranic Valley (boxed (shelf stable), whole, 2%, 1% vanilla, etc - and it sure seems as long as it is Organic - it froths to perfection every time. Hope this info helps someone.
Love this machineD. Hague
I bought this machine from another high end housewares store when they were on sale recently. I sold my Delonghi super auto as I was so sick of all the tinkering and cleaning. This machine is perfect for my needs.I want to turn it on and be able to pull great shots with little effort. Yes, I know some people would say this is not the true espresso way...but in the AM when I need a great latte or doppio this machine does the trick. The heat up time is under 30 seconds, the espresso varieties are delicious and I can always get the exact same shot. I love that the dials on the front of this machine allow we to adjust quickly the amount of water passed through the capsule. Sometimes I add a little more water with the capsule in place so I can get a little more from the capsule. I will say that pulling a lungo capsule on the longest setting is a bit of a stretch and definitely makes a light shot.-The fit and finish of this machine is gorgeous. I love the way it looks in the kitchen, with it's cool LED lights and finish. I am a sucker for packing and marketing so this is just the kind of thing that calls out to me.-Getting the capsules from Nespresso has been painless and the iphone app allows me to quickly order as soon as I notice my supply is low. I wish there wasn't the $6.99 2 day delivery charge. But those are the breaks and when you buy into this system definitely keep in mind the cost of these capsules. .60 or .65 a piece. The quality and flavor make this worth it to me and I am glad to have a consistent high quality shot.-The aerocino attached to the base is great as well. Dense foam and nice light steamed milk. My daughter also loves the steamed milk with a little vanilla flavor as a snack.Read more ›
DOA coaxed to work - this is howepigone66
So mine came DOA, or so I thought. Tried to do a quick setup so I could get a taste. Troubled ensued right from the start. Trying to do a machine pre-clean seemed easy but no results. Not giving up I ran the machine over and over - no luck, so I read the directions to find a solution. Nothing. I looked online - complaints about DOA machines but no help - just complaints. Not panicking, I put the unit into program mode (see manual) and did a factory reset. It did not seem to help so I did another menu function - empty mode. Read the manual to know what this is for. My goal was to coax the water through the system. My cup steamer was working and you could hear the pump working - just no water from the main nozzle. During the empty mode process a different sound from the pump was produced and a trickle of water managed to come out. Ok. Progress. Then I ran it again to clean it out using a lungo size setting like you are supposed to, to preclean the machine before your first capsule. Eureka. Got it working. No problems since.Best appliance purchase I can remember. Excellent espresso and the frother was incredible. I will let everyone else critique the actual result, but the the coffee is tasty, the crema impressive, and no bitter results. I am really impressed with a machine that makes it so easy to make espresso and so easy to clean. This purchase is a no brainer.So those out there that think you have a lemon, give my solution a try - it worked for me. I had to post this because I have found so much instructive information on the web and at Amazon that helped me in the past, I had to pass it on. I am so amped right now I can barely get out the words.
First attempt was DOA ... second attempt hit the markBrian Peterson
Well, as others have posted here, I too am having issues with a Nespresso Gran Maestria that was DOA upon setting it up and trying it for the first time. The setup went great up until I got to the rinse setting step. At that point, the machine refused to pump water up through the coffee dispenser section. Luckily I did not purchase this through Amazon so will be making an exchange tomorrow to see if I have better luck with a second attempt. I'll be sure to edit my post if I happen to get lucky. In the meantime, here are my thoughts on the Gran Maestria:Pros: Looks great and from what I tried at the Nespresso boutique, the espresso tastes amazing. With regards to operation, based on what I was told about the product, the biggest benefit of the Gran Maestria is the flexibility you have in what all you can make. From what I read in the included recipe book, the expanded amount of drinks you can make with this machine seems considerable.Cons: The chances of your Gran Maestria working out of box upon purchase is a gamble. Had I not encountered several other reviews saying they've experienced the same pump issues, I'd simply say I had a bit of bad luck with the Gran Maestria I received. However, since this definitely seems to be a recurring issue with people's purchases, I'm leaning toward believing that there is a probable defect with this line of machines.Conclusions: This product is likely worth purchasing if you happen to get one that works. You can do quite a bit with it in terms of drinks and the espresso itself tastes great (in my personal opinion).Read more ›
