Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Nespresso Essenza C101 Espresso Maker, Black
Customer Review: makes only 1st class cups of espresso
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my third Nespresso machine, following an old trio of D150s and a more newly deceased D290.
In use now for a couple weeks, the C101 continues the streak of winning machines. This is the bare-bones Essenza, without cappuccino wand, cup warmer, etc.. After a decade of looking at the milk warming wands, I realized they had never been used, and cost money. I'd rather not maintain a supply of cream in my office, nor cart in water as often as brewing "Americanos" would require.
Use is simple - drop in a Nespresso pod (about 50 cents each), push the button, then the machine makes the espresso in about 30 seconds when it has sufficiently heated up. Trivial, even before injecting the morning caffeine. Every time very good espresso with a thick crema.
I've synchronized watering the Nespresso machine with watering my plants - each is once a week, i.e., about every ten cups of espresso, which is about how often the empty pods need to be dumped, as well.
It looks seriously industrial on my filing cabinet - no plastic Mr. Coffee. Which brings up another selling point, abandoned machines such as my old D290 still can serve as conversation pieces on the coffee table.
[2-3-11 update - the darn thing stopped working for a while after three weeks. I accidentally tried to make an espresso without water, which wasn't problem with the old D290, and then no water was drawn into the machine. The inside has "no user serviceable parts" and some strange bolts holding it together, and my message to Nespesso asking for advice went unanswered. I need coffee, and ordered a second machine, but this is not as impressive as my D290 that lasted four years. I suppose I have sent it in for a fix, but am too lazy and needed a functional machine too soon. The replacement machine is now here and working fine. A friend waited out the problem, apparently it was some vapor-lock-like issue, and the original machine is working fine again for him.]
