Bingo. My barista opinion is that every Nespresso tastes like a Cafe Americano a-la Keurig. You can buy a $4 bag of Cafe Bustelo (pre-ground) and get both better tasting and cheaper espresso. If anyone in this thread is considering a Nespresso/Keurig, I'd highly recommend they consider a similarly-priced espresso machine for multiple reasons. Compared to ESE (easy serve espresso), Nespresso is the Juicero of coffee.

- hocuspocus 2y agoFollowing Nespresso's own recommendations, the shortest program is still pulling 25 ml through <6g of coffee. A far cry from a proper 1:2 espresso, let alone ristretto.
- wkat4242 2y agoYeah ristretto it's not. But I do like some liquid and not too much caffeine. I usually drink doubles with 1 normal and 1 decaf so I don't end up bouncing :P
