Krups Nespresso XN2005


The Krups Nespresso Coffee machine is a machine that produces espresso, latte and cappuccino coffees. It is small and compact and it will compliment any kitchen or office. It comes in black, stainless steel and dark slate grey. It comes with a separate milk frother that is automatic. You will need two plug sockets to accommodate the machine. It is cleaner than any other coffee machine (I know of) on the market, as it uses pods, which drop into a little tray inside the machine. There is a drip tray just under the place you put the cup. It is easy to use and not too noisy.

I am a 'coffee snob', and have worked in my present job for seven years without being satisfied with a 'really good cup of coffee'. The directors have bought several different machines. The last one was around £400, and you would have considered it suitable to open up a coffee shop. You use coffee beans with this one and it grinds the coffee. We have tried many different coffee beans but with no great taste, in fact some are truly 'bitter'.

One representative for Dow Egburts came to try and sell his products and asked if he could sample out current espresso coffee. We made him a cup and he said that we had our machine set wrong as the beans were over ground, and this resulted in the bitter taste.

We have a health spa where I work and the manager ordered a Krups machine. She let us sample a cup, and all us office girls loved it! Consequently I tried to get one for the office.

It has taken me a couple of years, but finally my boss gave in and we now have a brand new Nespresso Coffee Machine.

Opinion

When you order the machine you will order the coffee to go with it. They are little pods and there are various flavours, and strengths. They also do decaf. The taste is smooth and it leaves no after taste. You will not be disappointed if you love your coffee. My advice is to choose the multi pack of 250 pods, which will set you, back £65 (not cheap) this works out at about 26p per cup. Then chose your favourite and buy those pods next time. I could only find one website that sold the coffee pods

I challenge anyone to find a nicer cup of homemade coffee!

If you are interested in this machine the price starts from £99 - £132. Amazon sells them.

Thanks for reading.
