Latest Coffee Maker Features


Latest coffee maker:

One of my favorite machines is a top seller at Amazon these days, and for good reason. The Nespresso C100 Essenza, a stylish looking little machine that takes the Nespresso capsules. These foil wrapped capsules are packed with coffee blends that come in a nice amount of variety; adding seasonal products to keep things interesting. All of this can easily be accessed through the Nespresso website or the handful of Nespresso Cafes across teh country. For most of us through the downside is that coffee can only be bought through the Nespresso website. I tend to buy a bunch of 10-packs at a time to keep a good inventory hanging around.which can seem like a lot when you are only getting a tiny little shot of espresso, but if it's good espresso that's this easy, the cost isn't too terrible. It's in the ballpark with ESE Pods.

Not sure if you've seen this one, but the Nescafe Dolce Gusto has come to the US and its design is turning a few heads. The folks at Nescafe have been known for unique and interesting designs with their coffee/espresso makers and this bird-like design is sure not to disappoint. This single cup coffee maker is not of the Nespresso capsule/espresso variety, but does use single serve capsules that are designed o be a bit more flexible and offer a range of drinks including espressos and lattes.

The folks at Nespresso never stop looking for the latest designs for their Nespresso Capsule driven espresso makers. The Nespresso Essenza C100that sits on my countertop is the smallest espresso maker to ever come through my kitchen for reviews, except maybe the trusty Moka pot. But Nespresso isn't stopping there, as they have run a design contest again this year to find what might be the next Nespresso coffee maker to hit the shelves. Students from all over Europe competed to design and submit the next best thing. Some are absolutely fantastic; I love the thins designs that would hardly be noticed on the counters. Some are a too edgy for my tastes, but all of them are worth checking out.
