Date: 2008-07-23 | Rating: 5 Since my last comment a year ago I have moved to the US and due to voltage have been forced to buy a new machine. Purchased exactly the same one and continue to be just as satisfied as with the first one. Paid the price - but having said that I see that costs are falling here. The new machine operates as consistently and well as the first. Recommendation therefore remains the same! We bought this machine a month and a half ago with great anticipation since we experienced Nespresso several times before. Since we are fans of cappuccinos, Lattes and Macchiato's this machine seemed to answer our needs. It did and in spades. Everything the machine is expected to do it does. I read other reviews but have not experienced any of the issues mentioned. The milk froth is fine, even adjustable. I prime/clean the spout after every session to make sure all is clear. Since you can adjust the quantities I was able to play around (drinking much coffee, strong and weak) before finding my 'eureka!'. It's simply the most easy coffee machine to use, with fantastic results. As for temperature of the coffee - I also felt sometimes the coffee wasn't warm enough but after running my cappuccino mug under hot water before making the coffee for a moment this was no longer an issue. We've had friends with typical home version espresso machines that just sit there until there is a special occasion because it's just too much trouble - this machine has easily become an everyday machine for us since we got it, which is what I think Nespresso/Delonghi intended. PROS: great coffee, many choices (even the short intense blends work in cappuccinos or long (luongo) coffees, space for taller glasses/cups for milk coffees, EASE OF USE! CONS: price (pretty steep in the US - I bought mine in Switzerland for US$500) but for the ease of use it's worth it, the space for taller cups is relatively narrow so you need to find ones that will fit (your usual huge Starbucks mug won't cut it here). Say goodbye to your favorite coffee shop! Date: 2008-03-29 | Rating: 5 I have only had the Lattissima for few days for its a stunning machine. By far the simplest, best desinged auto machine out there. Pros: compact, easy to use, well designed, great coffee, speed of use, ease of cleanup, etc Cons: non except cost. But do the math, my coffee habit equated apx $2700/year at a hi end coffee retailer, this option is much cheaper and works amazing. The milk frother compartment is really great, store it in the fridge, pull it out when you want to use it, hit the one button Latte maker, but unused milk container back in fridge for next use, wicked! Great tasting coffee, now if they could only package it green... Date: 2008-01-03 | Rating: 5 I received this product for Christmas and love it. The coffee is outstanding but I agree with other reviews I have read - they need to figure out a way to make the pods more environmentally friendly. The Nespresso is easy to use and easy to clean. It makes lattes, cappuccinos, espressos, and lungos with one push of a button. You can easily control the amount of foam on milk drinks and can even make a wonderful hot chocolate for the kids by using their favorite mix and leaving out the coffee pod. Easy & Delicious Date: 2010-01-31 | Rating: 4 I went through about 5 different machines, including much more expensive ones, before settling on the Nespresso / DeLonghi EN660. I got it in red because at the time the red one was $100 cheaper than the black one. The black and red models are identical. The stainless steel version is $100 more, and has a stronger heating element in the top, so if you store cups on the top they will be much warmer than with the red or black version. Other than that, there is no functional difference between the stainless steel version and the black/red version. I have had this machines for about 6 months now, and I absolutely love it. The coffee is delicious, and there's virtually no cleanup. I can quickly make complicated drinks. I especially love the fact that it automatically dispenses the milk when making milk-based coffee drinks. I have found over time that this machine is very reliable, but there a few tricks/tips to make sure the milk froths properly: 1. The machine says it's ready to make milk froth too quickly. Frequently, if I make a latte as soon as the machine stops blinking and is ready to go, the milk isn't frothed enough. If I wait another 10 minutes or so, the machine is hot enough and the milk froths more fully. 2.If milk isn't frothing enough, the parts in the milk container may need a good washing. I find that I need to put the milk container and parts in the dish washer once a week. If frothing starts going down hill, it's time for a visit to the dishwasher I would definitely buy this machine again. The Nespresso coffee tastes great, and it's super easy to use. Cleanup is just a matter of pressing the steam button for 10 seconds, and wiping the nozzle and steam wand with a damp paper towel. Delonghi EN660.R Nespresso Lattissima Date: 2007-12-30 | Rating: 3 For the cost I returned the machine because I could not get a hot enough ending product when using the milk attachment. The milk would be about 126to130F so when you added it to your espresso it cooled everything down to much. I want a hot out the door not cold in two minutes drink. I thought I could heat it up again but why should I have to for the big bucks I paid. The pods are good tasting. That part was great.
