Have one and love it!I buy the capsules in 100 lots, works out around $1.00 a cup including postage.I love not having to clean it just put a descaler through twice a year (they recommend once a year, but we use the machine every day) Quite frankly, I find the coffee better that some cafe's in our town.

I have a Kitchen Aid coffee machine which is fantastic and makes a great cup of coffee. There is also a nespresso machine at work which a lovely consultant we had bought for us when he left. If I had my time again I would go with a nespresso as it is easy to use, makes good coffee and very little mess (and no maintenance). Even though my KA makes a better coffee the nespresso is a perfect machine to have at home. The pods work out to be about $1 each so still way cheaper than it costs to buy a coffee out.

Which one froths the milk!

We have the Nepresso pixie, it has the separate milk frother. As for not beinggreen I do agree, however the capsules are small and hardly take up any room. There are alot more things people could complain about if being green is their complaint. I love my machine and my coffee. have no regrets and yes my coffee is hot and tasty!

Sorry I am trying to say do you have to put a wand into the milk and steam it or does it do it for you.Hope I have wordered that right.

With the machine we have, you put your milk in the separate frother turn on at wall press a button and wait till light goes out and your milk is all done. Easy as to use

I've got the pixie and love it. If you search capsules on eBay there are a few reusable ones out there to try. I've ordered some myself and am eagerly awaiting them to c how they go.

They are OK for a busy workplace but I wouldn't have one at home. Conventional espresso from beans is about 23c a cup at supermarket prices, less if you buy beans in bulk, and fresher if you use fresh beans.

We love our Jura Z5 Has been well worth the money as it makes great hot coffee ( of every description) at the touch of a button. It has an internal burr grinder. My son was using a Nespresso when travelling through Europe and he said it was great. Alot of people like the fact that you dont have to clean it out,whereas, ours tells you when it needs cleaning or de-scaling, or the water tank filling or the grounds emptying! ( sadly, it does not do the dishes as well LOL)

We love our Rancilio Silvia espresso machine and Rocky grinder - bought 10 years ago and never looked back ($1550 on special at coffeemachines.co.nz at present, which is a good price - we paid about that for the Silvia alone 10 years ago!) http://www.coffeemachines.co.nz/Rancilio-Silvia---Rocky-Doserless-Grinder-Combo Learn to use it properly and it produces commercial quality espresso and milk every time.An investment that is worth it if you like coffee.

I agree sarahj1, we also love our coffee and we like the fact that we can have excellent quality coffee at home. We were lucky enough to get ours through one of the distributors I deal with as retail, they are pretty pricey, however, we have more than had our moneys worth over the years.
