Customer Review: D290 vs Romeo vs others
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife purchased this machine (D290) after much research. I have read other comments and still don't think they say enough. I now have owned this coffee maker for about two months and have had no problems. I really don't drink much espresso per say, I usually use it as a large cup/ mug coffe maker. You can use any of the capsules and they will make a great full cup of coffee. Or you may use it as a short pour for espresso shots. First the pros for this machine: It is super easy to use. Put capsule in and hit a button. I like the programable cup size as you don't have to stand there and make it fill the mug by hand. I think most the coffee varieties are excellent. I like strong coffe with cream and sugar, so usually like those from 7-10 strength. The crema on the coffee is wonderful, and you will drink more coffee than you think in a day, because it is so easy to make.
Downsides:
1. Capsules: yes you have to order off there website for the capsules. .49c a capsule. But shipping is fixed at $6 for no matter how much you order. Stock up. If you want to tamp and brew a wide variety, no I guess this machine is not for you...but it does have a great selection!
2. Warmth. I am used to boiling water for my french press. The coffe is hot, but I think somewhat less than what I am used to out of a coffee maker or french press. Because it is an "espresso machine" I understand that it brews 10 or so degrees less than a reg coffee.
3. Height of spout: this is one that bugs me. Had they just made it higher! many of my mugs won't quite fit. Have to have some low wider mugs.
Now I also must comment on the romeo vs the d290, because I had a hard time making up my mind. Ultimately, they make the same coffee! If you want the fancy self disposer --which I agree is only one thing that could break--- then go for the extra cash. But I think the d290, has the perfect match of mechanical vs features for the money.
All in all if you have the money, this really does make excellent coffee. And is so fast and easy to have a cup that you will love it.
