Hamilton Beach Espresso Machine, Compatible with Nespresso Pods, Single Serve Coffee Maker, Powerful Italian 19 Bar Pump, 22 oz. Water Reservoir, Custom Cup Size, Holds 13 Capsules, Black (40726)

I've been shopping for a expresso machine for sometime as I have never had an expresso machine. I found the Nespresso option which is nice because I don't have to do all the extra work. However I did look at numerous Nespresso machines and from various reviews I decided to try this one. Added bonus this one was cheaper than the other options! The machine is super easy to set up and figure out of the box. Good quality material. And it makes delicious expresso! It is a little noisy if you are worried about that however when researching other machines I believe they are louder. (Videos show them sounding like an airplane) Anyways! If you are looking for a Nespresso machine I'd recommend this one!Note For Improvement For A Newer Model: Make it height adjustable. The short space between the brew head and the drip tray is pretty small and doesn't allow a lot of versatility to make various drinks without having to pour the expresso into a different cup.

I’ve had at least 6 Nespresso branded machines in the last 25 years. Usually the Citiz, one lower in the line, one larger one ($’s). The first lasted 5 years, the rest perhaps 3. We draw 6 to 8 per day. I got tired of paying Nespresso good money for questionable product. So I bought an inexpensive, non-Nestle machine this time.Surprise, surprise, this Hamilton Beach pours the best Nespresso I’ve ever had from a Nespresso capsule machine. The temp is definitely higher. I suspect this Hamilton Beach is not sold in Europe and does not need to meet Europe's stringent energy usage regulations. So the boiler is heated up to where it ought to be to pour espresso. Others have noticed with no prompting, both coffee snobs and us less accomplished souls.Build quality is mixed. It looks great but is a bit less stable (two handed operation recommended). Material quality is also a bit thinner than a Nespresso. Paint and fit very good, switches and cord very good.One year later: This machine is great. Up to 5 stars. Runs fine. We consistently get remarks from people complimenting the espresso. The machine still runs hotter than European/EU machines and the pour is noticeably better.For an inexpensive or expensive Nespresso capsule machine, definitely recommended. The resulting pour is well work the lousy ergonomics. A bargain.

Very impressed at first. Made a great expresso For a few months. Then just stop working. Machine does not puncture holes in the pod to Run water through. Very disappointed looking for a new machine.

Hamilton Beach Espresso Machine, compatible with Nespresso Pods, is a great catch. It delivers for a great price. Its only major problem is that it brews the coffee way below the required temperature, meaning I have to put the lungo into the microwave for 30 seconds to enjoy my cup of coffee.I learned this after purchasing the Hamilton Beach Espresso Machine.Round #2After three months, I decided to write directly to Hamilton Beach and consult with them.As I learned, I receive an outstanding service from the, not just good, AMAZING!A NEW machine showed up at our home.This new one works like magic. Coffee is hot, and all is well.Conclusion: Always learn and share with those who know more about the product. If something is different from what it should be, ask! And to you, Hamilton Beach, Your service is truly phenomenal. Keep at it!Michael

I use this in my classroom all day! I use the original pods from Nespresso and this machine is so easy to use and budget friendly! I love it. It's a little noisy at first but, takes only a few minutes and I have a beautiful beverage. Good deal!

Me fascina mi máquina y muy hermosa queda en mi cocina,...hago mi exquisito cafe gracias a ella.exelelente producto.

It's OK - picked it up in a pinch while my Breville is under repair. Creama is weak with this, and lots of grounds make their way into your cup. It's cheaply made plastic, but about what you expect for the money. It's getting me through my crisis of the Breville being out of commission! I'll donate this to the work break room once I am back in action on the good machine.

Esta cafetera es lo mejor de lo mejor ,muy buena
