A very good choice that makes very good espresso with plenty of crema. It is ready to prepare coffee very quickly as it heats up rapidly. It makes very little noise. I have tried it with various coffee brands and have not seen any problems. An economical and quality solution.
Positive
+ I bought it in September 2020, just before the second lockdown. It has been making at least 5 coffees a day since then without any issues.
+ It produces rich foam. For a plain espresso, I just put a glass underneath with 3-4 ice cubes and it's ready without any effort.
+ It heats up quickly and doesn't make any noise. I don't know what others compare it to when they consider it noisy. The automatic KRUPS machine I have makes five times more noise, and I'm not even talking about the grinder, but the pump.
Negative
- I would prefer it to be taller to fit taller glasses underneath. You can remove the tray, but then you'll end up with water on the countertop.
- Despite its small size, it has a large depth and requires a lot of space on the countertop compared to much larger coffee machines I've had. It doesn't help that the cable comes out directly from the back instead of the side.
- The drip tray is small, it doesn't attach securely (from the beginning, and it gets worse over time), and it's not easy to clean unless you have very small hands.
If you are determined to have an espresso and the negatives I mentioned don't bother you, then I would definitely recommend it.

i've had great coffee so far using multiple brands of capsules. Emorying the tray/filling the water tank also takes 2-3 seconds so don't spend your money on more expensive capsule machines that make the exact same coffee (tested with a couple of friends)

It makes excellent coffee, it is beautiful and small and mainly it does not make as much noise as the others. The only "negative" thing about it is that the capsule container does not hold more than 5-6..

It makes a good coffee, heats up quickly, everything is fine until after a week the Lungo button produces less than the regular (38g for Lungo, 42g for regular). Hence the one star I gave.
Of course, you can press the button again to get more and press it again to stop. But that's not very nice. I also don't know if the problems will stop here.
I have had it for 2 years already. It is good. It makes good coffee, the coffee has a nice taste, it heats up quickly, and it is easy to use. The downside is that it makes noise while it is operating.
Amazing machine for its price. I tried it with different capsules, ended up with Illy espresso original and the quality is very satisfying. Now I don't order from outside anymore and I have saved quite a bit of money. The noise it makes for 10-20 seconds is tolerable.

I got it for work so I wouldn't constantly order coffee from outside. It is very easy to use. I have tried various capsules, it works great with all of them. It is exactly what was needed for the office, but don't expect to drink coffee like at the café

Heats up very quickly, makes a nice coffee. This has to do with the capsules you prefer, there is no need to buy Nespresso capsules. It has endless options of capsules to choose from other brands, cheap or expensive, it's a matter of taste. It's worth its money, I would definitely buy it again. I've been using it for a year now and haven't had any issues. The best for quick and easy coffee, even for a cappuccino

Perfect for its price, simple and quick to use and clean. I haven't tried with generic capsules or other brands besides Nespresso, but I don't plan on doing so... With all the Nespresso ones I have tried, the result is very good
I have reservations about the plastic parts of the construction and their durability over time. I bought it very recently and I don't have an opinion yet.
It is small and user-friendly. However, it is still slightly cheaper than the one from Nespresso itself.

The design is awesome. It is small and functional. It makes minimal noise. I use not only Nespresso capsules but also Lor. I am very satisfied with the purchase!!! With Nespresso capsules, it makes the ultimate coffee, no kidding (I am also picky about coffee), but it is also very good with Lor! For the money I bought it for 73 euros plus 30 capsules as a gift, it is value for money. It is easy to clean. In the 1 year that I have it, I have almost done a descaling once so that it works perfectly, because we drink a lot of coffee as a family. So it's logical. Compared to my old Izzy Barista machine that left me after 4 years of use (it took ground espresso), it is clearly a very good choice! With the press of a button, you have your coffee ready, you don't have to deal with the correct grinding of the coffee or how much pressure to apply, it generally simplifies our daily life a lot. I definitely recommend it!!!!

I have had the coffee maker for 2 months and so far I am very satisfied with its use. It is the perfect size for a home coffee maker, it heats up easily and depending on the brand of coffee you buy, the coffee it makes is very good. It makes a little noise when making the coffee, but compared to other machines of similar size, this noise is much smaller.

Compared to another coffee machine I had (Bosch Tassimo), the result is very different!
It offers a huge range of flavor and coffee options!
Small but miraculous!
I changed to 5⭐ after 1 year, after wasting money on a coffee grinder machine. I had given it 2 stars. Wrongly. With good coffee and 2 capsules, you will enjoy something completely acceptable. The best taste solution at these costs. Simplicity and speed are a plus. When Kimbo has 2.20 for 10 capsules. With 70 minutes and 3 lids, you will get something worthwhile to make a freddo espresso as it should be. 4 ⭐ deservedly.

It is the best Nespresso machine I have ever bought! It makes very good coffee. The capsule insertion mechanism is excellent! The capsule fits perfectly and it is impossible for it to get crushed and become useless like in another machine I had. The noise personally doesn't bother me. It is a coffee machine, not a fan! I bought it for 79.90 on offer with the Aeroccino 3 and I believe it is a very good purchase!

It's worth its money. Very good and fast coffee, it closes on its own, cleans easily, it's small - takes up little space, beautiful, doesn't make much noise, you can adjust the amount of coffee it produces in espresso and lungo... a very good choice. Superior to the Dolce Gusto I had

As a former owner of Dolce Gusto and Tassimo, I decided to get a Nespresso mainly because there is a wide variety of coffee available at the supermarket. I have had it for a while now and I have to say that it is a very good machine. It doesn't make a loud noise and the coffee (regardless of the brand and capsule) comes out creamy with a nice aroma. It is automatic, which is convenient for me, and it is compact in size. It is nothing like the other machines I had. Maybe I made a silly mistake by not getting the Aeroccino, but it's okay...
P.S. The capsules (price-wise) are at the same level as the capsules of other machines.

Although I have been using it for a few days, I am amazed by the quality of the coffee (aroma, taste, and preparation method), the many options in capsules - flavors and manufacturers, even refill caps. As for the construction, it is well-made, compact in size and lightweight at 2 and something kilograms (you can move it to any point in the house you want), the color is vibrant and beautiful, the noise is okay, not something annoying (if someone compares it to professional machines in various cafes... there is a difference in volume...), and the fact that it produces 19 bars, well, let it make a little noise! I will evaluate its durability and potential damages after a while. For now, I have positive impressions, even though I paid 99.90 euros for it!
