Review on Nespresso Inissia Red Espresso Maker: Discontinued Model Offers Authentic Espresso Experience by James Oconnor

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Delicious espresso/lungo every time!

I love this little car. I have many machines that I have used to make coffee and espresso (pour-over machines, aeropress machines, chemex, etc.). I love coffee, but some methods take time and create a mess I don't have time for in the morning. I was looking for something that would make espresso preparation in the morning easier, cleaner and faster and still taste delicious - it fits. I avoided buying this because the capsules are wasteful and then I found out that the entire capsule can be recycled. If you go to the Nespresso website they have packages that you can receive and send back to them (Nespresso pays the postage) and recycle the capsules. These are also the refillable capsules I ordered from Revain. The unit comes with a pack of different espresso and lungo flavors and they were all delicious. It is small and takes up very little desk space. You can also adjust the amount of water you want to add to your espresso/lungo - I really like that feature. The most important thing with this machine and with all coffee/espresso machines is the taste. Espresso and lungo are delicious and delicate. I add some hot water to my espresso when I feel like an Americano. Can't beat the price of this small espresso machine PROS: Delicious espresso/Lungo Great variety of flavors Gourmet pods are recyclable You can buy refillable pods for this machine if you want, with a good selection of pod packaging small but I don't mind some say , it was noisy, but there's nothing louder than bean grinding at 4:30am. I didn't find it noisy.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • For old
