I have been using Nespresso coffee now for about 6 years. I wore out 2 Magimix machines in that time - a bit feeble I thought. Still, they were really cheap and you can by a lot of them for the cost of one all-singing, bells & whistles conventional expresso machine. So, of course, they don't make them any more, so I got a Krups instead. This must be the neatest, most unobtrusive little gem on the coffee market. It would fit into any kitchen, and is so simple to use that anyone can use it - I particularly like the little capsule-shaped slot to show the intellectually challenged where to insert capsule (!) Has very few moving parts, it is easy to dismantle for cleaning, and even I can put it back together. Coffee remains my favourite genuine expresso tasting brand. No mess, no bother. Will it last longer than the Magimix? 6 months so far.
