I bought this mostly for espresso while traveling, haven’t been traveling much lately and decided to sell. It’s in fantastic shape, has all the parts and works with Nespresso as well as all the other brand “original” capsules I’ve tested including from Starbucks, Peet’s, Illy and others. Since it uses the original capsules which are out of patent, I’ve found good cheap third-party capsules for under a quarter apiece at times. Heats up in seconds, 19 bar pressure, delivers a very acceptable espresso (or Americano) in about a minute or so from turning it on.
I picked this up because I wanted the smallest possible espresso machine to pack and bring into hotel rooms instead of dealing with the awful random coffee and coffemakers that each chain offers. Even if there’s a Starbucks or free coffee downstairs, I can get caffeinated at any time and any state of dress I choose. This also fits into tiny kitchen spaces, and the color looks awesome.
I’ll even throw in some capsules with the sale to get you started. This is a really nice machine and have been very happy with it.
