I've been trying to love it over the past couple months.  I like the speed and the small footprint but I'm generally disappointed in what ends up in the cup.  I'm going to set my semi-automatic machine back up as it makes a better espresso and Americano.  

The difference must be between fresh ground beans of choice and whatever Nespresso puts in their pods.  Kind of a no brainer but I had to try.

I found Nespresso on Qvc years ago and I love it. The frother is excellent for cappuccino or moccacino (smaller cappuccino.)

I used to get espresso coffee back in Italy (now I can't go because of covid) in bars. It is a treat for Italians to go out with friends to get coffee in bars. They are like Starbucks, but most have chairs outside, so you can see people walking around etc.

i don't purchase pods from the Nespresso website anymore. Now I get Kimbo or Lavazza ( Italian  brands) compatible with Nespresso machines pods from Amazon.

Costco sells Starbucks pods you can use with the Nespresso coffee machine.

OK, I am NOT HAPPY. I ordered the Nespresso TSV on the 15th as a presale, two days before the TSV presentation on the 17th, and I've been waiting and waiting to receive it. Finally today learned it's on BACKORDER. Not cool, QVC!
