Latissima problems solved

I loved this machine from the first time I saw and tried it. However, I started having problems on day 2 - the milk wouldn't froth and it came out in spurts with a lot of water, not even filling 1/8 of the glass with milk. I took it back to Williams Sonoma and they cheerfully replaced it. It happened again to this new machine and, once again, I took it back for a replacement. (I had been in touch with Nespresso at all the junctures along the way and they replaced the milk jug and top twice.) When it happened on the third machine, I called the local Williams-Sonoma and asked if there was someone who could check out my machine. I am in the Danbury, CT area and Bill, at the local Williams-Sonoma, told me to leave it with him while I shopped and he would check it out. When I returned he told me it was frothing perfectly and then showed me how he set it up. It seems that I had not been pushing the jug connection tight enough. It has to click in. The lights had always been on and so I believed that the jug was connected correctly, but I was wrong. Not until I saw it being done and felt the connection, did I understand what I was doing wrong. Without being tightly connected it doesn't work correctly. Now I push until I hear a click and/or push it in a second time holding the back of the machine as I push, and have been making perfect lattes. I recommend this machine highly but think the documentation should be rewritten with this little bit of information in bold letters. I have seen many reviews of this machine from people who have had the same problem and hope that they found the solution as this machine is wonderful.

We ordered this from Amazon and received it a week ago. My wife and I are very happy with the machine. It is a great design, easy to use and clean, and makes great coffee. I highly recommend it. It's high priced but much cheaper than similar machines.

Awsome espresso

I saw this machine and tried a few samples of espresso with my family in the Nepresso store in Boston a month ago. I ordered it as soon as I returned from my trip. I think it produces a fantastic espresso and I like the convenience of the pods. I also own the Keurig machine and the Tassimo machine. Obviously I like the convenience of pod machines. I love the Keurig machine for regular coffee and iced coffee. The Tassimo machine can't compete with the Keurig machine for coffee. I bought it to make mostly cappuccinos and espresso with but it can't touch the Nespresso lattissima. The lattissima uses real milk not prepackaged condensed milk and the espresso the lattissima produces is far superior to anything the Tassimo produces. Hands down the Lattisima is a far superior machine. I have no problem with the milk frother and the temp of the milk on the Lattissima machine. After reading the others comments about the temperature I have always just run hot water through the frother first and made sure my cup was at least room temperature. My model has the cup warmer on top which I think is great. It keeps the cups warm all the time. I think the espressos and cappuccinos are plenty hot and so do my kids. We've only had it a couple of weeks but it gets used two to three times a day, some times more. I'm having a dinner party in two weeks and looking forward to be able to offer great espresso and cappuccino after dinner. It also makes great iced lattes. At this time I have no complaints about it. We love it!

good cap

i just finished three years living in rome and when everyone asked me what would i miss most, i said the cap and corn (that's a cappucino and a cornetto--croissant) which i had each morning. since i got the nespresso machine, i'm back to my cap and corn each morning. i really like the one touch cappucino maker although i do find that i have to use two capsules for one good sized cappucino. not a problem since there's no mess with this machine. just pop the capsule in and then empty the tray when you're done. i really like it and it is going to save me airfare back to rome several times a year just for a cup of coffee!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this machine!!!!!!!! We bought this machine because we wanted the ease of not messing with foaming the milk. It makes the most delicious latte, cappuccino, expresso!!!!! The coffee capsules are delicious! We haven't had a bad one yet. My only suggestion would be to get your cups hot with hot water before filling with your desired beverage! Very easy to use, but there are a few days of getting the perfect hang of it. Don't forget to get a little shaker for cinnamon or cocoa!! This is an addicting little machine. Oh, I have heard people complain about the little capsules not being recycleable, I just pop them in the sink and use a spoon to pull back the foil top and rinse them out and put them in the recyling bin...You won't be dissappointed this is an awesome little machine...We are packing ours up to take to FLORIDA this week with us...I don't know if I can live without it!!!
