Hi Justin,

Thank you for the review of the product, i have used it alot in the past month at a training facility in Western Australia i agree wholly with your assessment and found that it produced better results on a longterm basis then my $3000 machine at home.
Glad i found this site as i am looking at suggesting this be purchased at my companies training centre. The main draw being that it is so simple to use and can produce a large amount of consistant tasting coffee.

Thanks again

Jess

Pod,
This may be correct but I am finding that more people are opting for commercial or semi-commercial equipment for personal use, but I really appreciate you taking the time to read our articles and provide feedback.

Look forward to more in the future.

The machine reviewed is an office machine, not realy meant for home use. The home machienes are smaller (and cheeper) and haver a larger range of capsuals.

Tom,
We always appreciate a new reader commenting on our articles, and that is why we like to post responses. I agree with you as the writer of this article the Nespresso machine that we agreed was the best did in fact make a great coffee and as a member of coffee snobs I am always keen to try a good quality coffee.

Thanks again for your comment of which will assist our readers who may be considering buying a coffee machine for home.

You obviously havent done your research (note my aluminum comment shortly). If you did you would know that they use air locked silo when they need to store the just roasted coffee and they grind and immediately package the coffee in hermetically sealed, aluminum (which btw is 100% and infinitely recyclable) pods which protect it from light, humidity and oxygen.

Their crema is bloody amazing! If you have actually seen a Nespresso pull and still claim the crema is weak, I’ll just write you off as any sort of experienced coffee drinker. Go buy your “charbucks” and be happy. I bet you find “charbucks” coffee exciting and multidimensional ha!

If you want to know where Im coming from, I lived in AU for 5 years, been to Seattle and Tacoma, and now live in NY. I plan on going to San Fran and Italy strictly because their coffee. If there was a cafe of any decent rep for good blends, baristas, or coffee in general, I’ve been. My first order is always a ristretto, espresso, and latte. If the barista doesnt know what a ristretto is I walk out. I LOVE good coffee from baristas who are barista because they love coffee. Nespresso stands in my book as the BEST attempt to put great coffee on your counter top and Im MORE than happy with the quality.

Apologies if this is a bit blunt but your “quick-to-write-off” review struck more as something along the lines of a hipster sticking his nose up at anything other than indie music or op shop clothes.

Anthony,
I’m glad you had the opportunity to try one and like the coffee, yes it is great value and not a bad brew.

Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your own experience with the Nespresso.

Brian,
Great to hear from you and also good to see you have taken the time to comment on the Nespresso Gemini. Yes they are possibly the best of the Nespresso range, and yes that’s why George Clooney has been plugging the product.
Again great to hear from you and I hope to see more comments in the future.

Greg,
This a fair comment,although I did find the espresso unit we tested to be fairly good but your right you cannot beat a good barrista for the best coffee. But as we mentioned this was a good home system that produced what we found to be a consistant good coffee. Thanks for you comment and have a great day.

Cheers,

Justin
