I have owned two Nespresso machines. They were both great for about 8 months. Then no matter how much I 'cleansed' them they made terrible tasting coffee. You can never get the insides completely clean. I suspect the Keurig has a similar problem. I'm now back to my ceramic filter cone (one-time $20 cost) and the coffee has never tasted better.

- devindotcom 12y agoPourover is still my go-to. One of my old ceramic cones I used for years cost me a buck fifty plus tax.

- nickbauman 12y agoNespresso says ammonia can destroy the coffeemaker. I believe the substance in their cleaning pouches are pure ascorbic acid. I've tried everything. It still makes crappy coffee afterwards.
- sschueller 12y agoDid you use the Nespresso cleaning kit and then run the entire water tank through the machine twice without capsules? I have many Nespresso machines and never had a problem with degrading taste. Usually something else breaks like the milk frother on the Lattissima.
- nickbauman 12y agoYes, I followed the instructions. If you put a coffee from your machine in front of me and one from a traditional machine, I could identify yours by the bad taste I'm certain of it.
- hiline 12y agoConsider descaling the machine - it helps. You should do it every 200-300 uses. Also if you are planning to stick with the cone but miss the convenience of nespresso, please check out our ground coffee pack product for pour over. We take high end 90+ rated beans, roast them to order and grind for your brew method. The hermetically sealed pack keeps it fresh for 2-3 months in our tests.
