Nespresso by De'Longhi Inissia Single-Serve Espresso Machine in Black

The Nespresso Inissia Espresso Machine by De'Longhi came in black and included three boxes of sample coffee and an instructional booklet. Each sample coffee box included fourteen samples. The instruction booklet had clear operating instructions but did not state how to remove the used coffee pods. I had to figure that part on my own. The coffee machine measures about 12 inches deep, 9 inches tall, and 4 inches wide. I really like that it has a small footprint in my kitchen allowing for more counter space. The machine has two coffee settings; espresso and lungo. From reading the instructional booklet, I inferred that the “lungo” setting is a larger about of coffee and water. Once the machine was assembled, I followed the preparation directions and filtered water through the machine three times before using it for coffee. Then I choose the “lungo” selection on the coffee machine. The taste of the coffee is flavorful and bold. I really enjoyed it and look forward to trying the other flavors. I was excited to see a $10 coupon on my first coffee order but after reading the fine print, the $10 off applies only if you order 50 or more coffee capsules and each coffee capsule will cost at least 70 cents each. Cleaning the coffee machine requires a damp cloth and was fairly simple. Overall, I really enjoy the Nespresso Inissia Espresso Machine by De'Longhi and would recommend it to family and friends.

This is an excellent little espresso machine. Bottom line, you will not be disappointed. We are big coffee drinkers but espresso always seemed to be a treat for us. I guess I just figured it was too much hassle to make it myself, maybe its just laziness, either way, this machine has changed all that. Seriously, all you do is drop one of the little pods in, close it up, and before you know it, you have the most amazing espresso ever. Now I just need some of those cute little espresso cups. If you can run a k-cup style coffee maker, you can do this. I have to mention the pods, as silly as it sounds they are the most beautiful pods ever. They come in rich jewel tones that are worthy of being able to sit on your counter. I literally put them in a glass jar next to my machine and they look like a jar of jewels. Someone was thinking there. If they are going to sit out they might as well look good. The quality of the espresso is very nice. Like I said, I think of espresso as a treat and there is no bitterness or oily after taste. It is everything you want espresso to be. The size sits well on my limited counter space. It is smaller than my coffee maker and as deep, but smaller than my Keurig. My son has threatened to steal it and take it to school with him simply because of the size. This is an awesome little machine, sturdy, sleek, easy to use, fairly quiet and it doesn't take up much space. I am very happy with it.
