Review on Delonghi Nespresso Essenza Mini Coffee and Espresso Machine, Black – Enhanced SEO by Robert Castro

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great but missing coupon

We love our Nespresso! It makes espresso, latte, cappuccino, etc. Very easy to prepare. I used to work as a barista at a local coffee shop and nothing beats freshly roasted, freshly ground beans in an actual espresso machine, but it's all expensive and requires a lot of maintenance. So if it's actually a 10, I'd give this car an 8/10. For some reason we didn't receive a 10% discount coupon in our box which was disappointing. Capsules: Nespresso capsules are good, but Pete's capsules are the best. If you only drink espresso, I recommend Peet's, which you can find at Target. If you're making a flavored latte, you can get away with using Trader Joe capsules. I prefer lungo capsules (just use them for espresso and add syrup flavor and frothed milk). Once you've added the syrup (I recommend Torani syrup, available from Ross/TJ Maxx), you'll be able to taste or appreciate the espresso distinctly. Just for the information of others regarding capsule prices: Nespresso: normally 70 cents per capsule but up to $2.00 per box Peet's: 79 cents per box (7.99 for a box of 10) Trader Joes: 39 cents per box (3.99 for a box of 10) Target: 49 cents a box (4.99 for a box of 10, but tastes terrible) LaVazza: 60 cents a pack ($6 for a box of 10 on sale, but tastes good dreadful). Enjoy!
