Customers commend this espresso machine for its delicious espresso, ease of use, compact size, and compatibility with Nespresso capsules and ground coffee. Many appreciate its affordability. However, some users note that it can be noisy and that there have been reported issues with the water pump and unclear instructions. The quality of the espresso is frequently praised.
I ordered this unit and received it right around Christmas. Since then, I've probably put about 25 capsules through, and have used the inserts for grounds about 6 times. I used Cafe Bustelo, and it turned out great every time. If you are in the market for a Nespresso capsule machine, I highly recommend this little machine. It's by far less expensive than nearly every Nespresso unit, and you can use your own grounds if need be. Also, it's super compact and fits at my desk perfectly. I do have to say it's a little loud, but not bothersome.

this is a great little machine, same as other espresso without the regular portafilter nor the steam wand... but it is 51mm compatible basket, you can also customize the water volume dispensed, just press and hold the 1 or 2 cup and hold it until the desire volume is dispensed, then release the button and the setting will be saved....Remember to purge the water pump system, trying several times the 2 cup button until water go thru (if not, try plug and unplug the water tank several times to force the air bubbles get our the pipes and keep trying pumping with the 2cup button)... i had to pop up the plastic at the bottom of the basket with a utility knife and then drill a bigger hole in the outer wall of the basket to make it non pressurized basket (just being carefully of not damage the inner wall with all the holes on it), then press the plastic back in place, or maybe just using a regular non pressurized basket . Now using 51mm tamper and a good grinder i was able to control the extraction a little better and get a better espresso... not bad for a cute small espresso machine at my office.
