Review on Nespresso EN80B De'Longhi Original Espresso Machine: Compact and Sleek Black Design, 12.6 x 4.7 x 9 inches by Douglas Cochrane

I've been thinking about buying a Nespresso for a few years now and have been using mine for a week now and I'm impressed. I was concerned about getting a "Keurig-grade" espresso (that is, fine, but of much lower quality than my own), but that fear was unfounded. The espresso I get from this machine is better than what I've gotten at Starbucks and the local coffee shop. The pods are a bit pricey, but it helps me limit the amount of espresso I drink per day, which is probably a good thing. The instructions that came with my machine say it brews three sizes; Ristretto, espresso and lungo, but there are actually only two buttons, one each for espresso and lungo. This is not a criticism as I did my research and wasn't expecting the ristretto option but the manual made it a bit confusing. You can program the buttons for shorter or longer recordings if you really want a ristretto recording. The water tank is fairly small (but so is the machine itself), and if you run it once to heat everything up, take a shot or two, and then run it again to clean it, the tank empties pretty quickly. It's okay, but it's something to consider when choosing this coffee maker. I really like my Nespresso and am now considering which capsules I prefer.
