With its unique extraction system designed specifically for coffee-filled capsules, this single-serve automatic espresso machine prepares a perfect cup of espresso every time. The unit perforates the hermetically sealed capsule and soaks all the ground coffee to optimally filter the coffee, while its high-pressure 19-bar pump fully extracts the aromas and gives body to the espresso, ensuring a smooth crema–the delicious creamy layer on top. In addition, the machine’s ThermoBlock heating system heats water to an ideal extraction temperature, and the amount of coffee in the cup can be controlled automatically or programmed in (40 ml for espresso; 110 ml for lungo) with simple coffee-volume buttons. Used capsules eject automatically into the used-capsule collection container (14-capsule capacity) upon lifting the lever on top of the unit.
A Nespresso Aeroccino one-touch milk frother with automatic shut-off comes included for frothing 4-2/5 ounces of milk or for heating up to 8-1/2 ounces of milk–great for macchiatos, cappuccinos, or cafe lattes. Simply add milk, replace the lid, and press the button for milk froth in about 50 seconds or hot milk in about 80 seconds. Dosage indicators inside the jug make it easy to measure for milk froth or hot milk, while a stay-cool handle, drip-free spout, and cordless design (lifts off its power base) ensure graceful pouring into a cup. The espresso machine only uses capsules, not any other ground espresso, but Nespresso provides a range of premium coffee blends, including decaffeinated. An assortment of 12 capsules comes included. Other highlights include a backlit on/off button, electronic temperature regulation, a drip tray, and a removable 41-ounce water tank. Compactly designed in sleek, modern housing, the 1200-watt espresso machine measures 11-1/2 by 6-1/2 by 10 inches; the milk frother measures 4 by 4 by 6-2/3 inches (not including the handle).

Customer Feedback :
I finally discovered how to make the perfect cappuccino at home. This makes a cappuccino exactly how I would get it at my neighborhood coffee bar. The machine makes a dense rich espresso with a nice cream on top and the aeroccino makes a perfect thick foam. The aeroccino also heats the milk to the perfect temperature and clean up is super quick. The machine is little in size which is a plus in a tiny Italian kitchen. At first I wasn’t so convinced on being committed to buying only Nespresso capsules, first for the price and second for the quality of coffee.
