Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Nespresso D250 Automatic Espresso Machine, Silver Gray
Customer Review: best coffee in town
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the D250 for my wife. She was about to have our first baby. She loves coffee. I knew with the birth she would have a difficult time getting to the local roaster. Her friends in France had one of these and she always raved about how good the coffee was. Very consistent flavor and as full bodied as the espresso she made at the deli/coffee shop she managed. Anytime a coffee lover comes to the house she offers a cup. One guest has one of those $800 dollar Lilly machines. She said it made better coffee than hers. Another was impressed with the thickness of the crema. I don't know what that is but I guess it's an important quality not usually found in home machines. Anyway, after my wife had our second baby the machine became her best friend. We are talking about a true coffee lover. Taste and consistency are very important. It wouldn't matter if it cost $1000 dollars if the taste wasn't good enough she would find a way to go to the coffee shop every day. She loves it. The kids can run al over the house. But she can sit back and enjoy her favorite Latte and relax knowing the kids aren't bothering other customers.
Description of Nespresso D250 Automatic Espresso Machine, Silver Gray
Nespresso has developed a unique extraction system specially adapted to capsules. It controls every vital setting when preparing a perfect espresso. Nespresso machines have been designed with renowned partners and designers, and bring out the taste and aromas of coffee by combining quality of design with ease of use. The Nespresso D250 machine is part of our classic line. Classic Line machines all have the capsule holder system that uses the traditional gesture for preparing an espresso. They are designed with clean, simple, box shaped lines. The D250 machine deploys technology essential for preparing an outstanding Espresso, and is exceptionally easy to use. Programmable automatic control of the amount of coffee in the cup. A high pressure pump (19 bars) extracts all the aromas and develops a smooth crema in the cup. A thermobloc which heats water to 187°and 196° during extraction and empties the remaining water after each use so that the water is fresh for each preparation. Removable steam nozzle for hot water and steam. Cups warming plate. Metal housing with matt chrome finish. A simple system with a capsule holder which perforates the capsule and soaks all the ground coffee to optimally filter the coffee. Removable water container (61 oz)This compact espresso machine provides a lot of service for its size. Its sleek, timeless design has minimum buttons for maximum functionality. The preset buttons for single and double shots mean you won't have to guess when the brewing's done, though you can reprogram those settings to customize the strength of the espresso you make. The steam/hot water attachment is easy to use: just press the appropriate button and wait a few seconds, then froth some milk or dispense hot water for tea, instant soup, or other hot-water needs.
This machine uses custom capsules of espresso. The small plastic capsules are premeasured for one use each, and refills are available in a variety of roasts, from mellow and delicate to intense and strong. Just plop a capsule in the capsule holder and slip it into the spout ring, which has an attachment that punctures a hole in the capsule and perforates the bottom. After making the coffee, tip the used capsule into the garbage can and you're ready to brew again. The catch is that you can only use these capsules, not any other ground espresso, so you'll be required to stock up; there are a variety of coffee types available, however, including decaffeinated. The capsules can be purchased from Nespresso, either by phone or at their web site. --Cynthia Nims
