I have just moved from the UK to the US and had a Nesspresso in the UK (donated to my brother when I moved) and I will be buying my second machine soon. The coffee is delicious, and if you want a full mug, make one or two espresso shots into a mug depending on how strong you like you coffee and add hot water - simple, refreshing coffee. perfect

I have been using this machine for about a month now. The espressos are strong, aromatic and comparable to those produced by more expensive machines. The machine is also very easy to clean (barely requiring a rinse every now and then). As far as quality goes I'm very happy with it. A few caveats however:
Temperature: as other reviewers mentioned, they are barely warm. If you're used to sipping yours for more than a couple of minutes you'll be drinking cold coffee. In fact the low temperature my Nespresso produces is enough of an issue for me to regret my purchase. And warming the cup does about as much as you'd expect.
Variety: I think there are enough capsules in the Nespresso line to find an espresso that suits your taste but the lungos are not to be confused with full-cups. You will not be able to get even half of an average American coffee cup out of a lungo capsule without it starting to taste watered down. Therefore Nespresso isn't as versatile as it could be and if you or your guests prefer regular coffee to espresso you'll have to keep your other coffee maker.
Customer service: You will have to buy the capsules directly through the "Nespresso Club" which advertises itself as an exclusive and very attentive client service. In my experience they have been responsive but unusually impersonal and not helpful if you are dissatisfied with your machine or your casules orders. One almost gets the impression they're doing you a favor by dealing with you. Guess that's what they mean by that exclusive feeling...
Because of the above issues I would recommend comparing a few other brands and seeing whether this is really your best choice. Personally, I wouldn't buy mine again.

Nestle, the parent company to Nespresso and the coffee pods, is the worlds largest distributer of coffee, with Nescafe having the greatest world wide brand recognition. Its not like I worry about Nestle and it's coffee drying up and blowing away. I first experienced Nespresso as a guest in a friends home. It was simply the best coffee I ever drank. The machine is ready to dispense in 40 seconds. I turn it on, reach for a cup, make my coffee choice and push the lever. Coffee is in my cup in under a minute and a half from hitting the on button. I like "Goldilocks" coffee, not too hot and not too cold. I can begin to sip and enjoy this amazingly rich and nurturing brew without any extra steps or clean up.

As it was for a gift and therefore not for a personnal use, the only feedback is : it worked and the delivery was as scheduled. I didn't asked more on that transaction. Everything's fine then.

Nice machine enjoyable cup of Joe. I think you should warm your cup first then brew.
