Review on Nespresso EN80B De'Longhi Original Espresso Machine: Compact and Sleek Black Design, 12.6 x 4.7 x 9 inches by Chen Anson (Anson ch ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product suited me, I will recommend it to my friends.

Overall satisfied with the machine. For 1.5 years she stood in an office for 6 people, was actively used, then she lived at home for 2 years. Works as expected, quickly brews coffee, with proper care (see instructions) - does not act up. Dimensions are small, respectively, and the supply of water in it is appropriate. But it is quite enough for 2 people to indulge in coffee during the day with moderate consumption :) disappointed with the service life. Although for a price of a little less than 5 thousand (at the time of purchase in 2022) it is quite an acceptable option. Works well with some capsule analogues. especially with those that are also made of aluminum but not plastic. I did not use completely metal, refillable ones. The most delicious coffee, of course, is in the original Nespresso capsules. But it is also the most expensive :) But I managed to find an acceptable analogue both in taste and price. Summary: I recommend the machine for home use, especially for those who are a fan of BLACK coffee without milk. Regarding the trouble-free service life - nothing lasts forever, but in principle, if you do not go too far with expectations and immediately understand that a machine of 3 years is normal. Mine cost me 3.81 / day for the entire period of service - not so much :)

Pros
  • Compact, quickly prepares coffee, easy to maintain (except for descaling), the ability to substitute a large cup by lifting the stand. It is also convenient that you can refill the capsule, press the button twice on the switched off machine and do not wait until it heats up - it will pour itself when it is ready in a minute. It is easy to program the volume of the cup on the button (HOLD AND HOLD THE BUTTON until the desired volume is poured) - the machine will remember it and will continue to pour exactly as much as it poured last time
Cons
  • The water tank is small. It is very sensitive to the situation when the tank runs out of water - an air lock is created, which is not always spilled with water from the next tank the first time. Service life is short. Mine worked for 1311 days (about 3.5 years and began to leak, then it began to flow constantly, flashing buttons alternately). Expected at least 5 years of trouble-free operation.
