I have been a coffee shop owner in the past, and in the beginning tried to make coffee at home in the same way, by having various mini espresso machines and finally the best bean to cup machine that Krups could supply. All eventually failed and none ever made coffee taste the same as from my 2 group Fraccino machine, even using the same beans.
The Nespresso/Magimix is uncomplicated. Few moving parts to go wrong, clean & simple distribution of coffee and guaranteed results every time.
This is our fourth Nespresso machine, so we knew exactly what to expect. However, we were very pleasantly surprised at the smaller footprint compared to previous machines.
We would not bought the machine if we hadn’t been completely satisfied with our previous machines.
