Disappointing product from Nespresso
I've used a Nespresso machine for about 8 years, and the results have been terrific. My original machine, one of the first on the market, has been slowing down over the past year, to the point where the water flow was thin and slow. I decided to purchase a new machine, and after some extensive research, decided on the U. When I set it up at home, and put a capsule in, clear water came through, half in the cup under the spout, and half in the water tray. I repeated the process several times, and each time only water came through, not coffee. After spending a half an hour on the phone with Nespresso, and trying different fixes suggested by the agent (after being put on hold repeatedly), I was told to try cleaning the interior of the machine. With that I gave up--who wants a machine that has to be cleaned for it to work properly, and who knows what else lurks inside. It should work out of the box.
Love the Nespresso!
Coffee at our house just stepped up a few levels. We used to have two makers on our counter, one regular drip coffee and a keurig. We now only have one coffee maker.
It is a little louder than a normal coffee maker, but it is making espresso at 19 bars of pressure. It's gonna be loud. The coffee pods are more expensive than regular coffee but taste like it.
The unit is small and easy to clean and maintain. A cup of coffee can be made as strongly or lightly as desired.
We are happy members of the Nespresso family.
Great Machine, Great (but not cheap) Coffee
Recently I was at a Disney hotel and they had a self-service Nespresso machine for guests. I fell in love the coffee. So, while standing in a line at Disneyland I ordered the U on my phone. I compared several of the machines and the U seemed to have the best features for the price. Plus, what man is going to order something called the "Pixie." Really Nespresso?
I have only had it for a couple of days and I will update this review if I run into any problems or have more to say, however this is my first impression.

* It was easy to set up. The instructions are good, although it seems as though they were translated from another language. The wording is clear, but sometimes awkwardly phrased.
* After a couple of cleaning cycles, you are ready to brew. I had my first cup about 10 minutes after unboxing.
* Its attractively styled. It's has basic utilitarian look, not overly "blingy" or gaudy.
* It comes with a sampler of 16 coffee...
