Summary: Wonderful and easy to use
Comment: This is my first espresso machine and I couldn't be happier. A friend who owns a coffee shop recommended this machine to me because I wanted something easy to use but that wouldn't skimp on quality. And it's been a homerun.
* The shots come out exactly the same every time with that beautiful and elusive crema on the top.
* The espresso comes out nice and hot. My friend told me this and the bars of pressure were what put Nespresso apart from most similar machines. A luke warm espresso is no good.
* The machine is easy to clean and maintain.
* The Nespresso club is a nice touch that makes ordering more coffee a cinch. I thought being limited to Nespresso coffee (the pods) would be a downside, but I've liked all the pods I've tried and haven't felt like I needed more.
The only negative I'd list is that the frothing attachment is lackluster. I used it for about 6 months now and it just wouldn't produce the airy milk froth you get from a stand alone unit (like the Nespresso Aeroccino I just bought today and love!).
Bottom line: get this machine. You'll thank yourself over a cappuccino or a nice shot of espresso.

Summary: cappuccino heaven
Comment: OMG, this is so easy to use and it makes the best cappuccinos. Over the years, I've tried them all -- I've gone from a cheap Braun espresso machine, to an expensive Gaggia, to a stove-top Mukka, and this is without a doubt the best coffee I've had at home. Plus, it is so easy to clean up.

Summary: Wonderful Machine
Comment: After a ton of research and finally a demo of the product, I was sold. The espresso is beyond easy to make-- perfect every time. No mess, no guessing with grinding beans, measuring, tamping. Many complain about the cost of the pods (appx 50 cents a shot)-- but compare that with a $15 one-pound bag of Starbucks espresso beans (appx 25-30 cents a shot) and the pods are well worth it.
With other espresso machines, there were always complaints about lack of steam pressure to make lattes/cappucinos. Not with the D290- you can either the manual wand or the "near automatic" attachment with great results.
Another frequent comment: the serious lack of instructions in the D290's manual. No problem though... just call the Nespresso customer service. I was conntected to a person almost immediately, and they were VERY helpful-- truly wanted me to have the best experience.
Final comment: My 1st Nespresso D290 actually did not work. I called Nespresso, and they immediately sent me a brand new replacement via 2-day air-- no hassle.

Summary: Where has this espresso machine been all my life?
Comment: All the money that I've spent at Starbucks over the years -- no more! I got this machine about a week ago now and I absolutely love it.
Downsides:
* Manual really stinks. It's all in pictures, and not
very clear ones at that. Once you get the hang of it
though, its pretty easy.
* Price -- it is very pricey, but if it replaces a $5
-$10 a day Starbucks habit, that works for me.
* Proprietary espresso capsules-can only be bought
through the few Nespresso stores or
online. Online ordering is easy though, and they ship
2 day air.
Upsides:
* Produces great tasting espresso-better than Starbucks
* Easy and fast to prepare espresso
* Easy to clean
* Produces great milk froth-which is also easy to make
and clean
* Most Nespresso coffee pods are about fifty cents each-
even with two shots for a grande+, this still comes
out cheaper (and better tasting) than the Starbucks
equivalent.
* Large variety of available Nespresso espresso flavors
with easy ordering. Starbucks should consider
partnering with Nespresso to develop Starbucks
capsules for Nespresso machines. This
will benefit Nespresso by offering more selection with
a well known coffee brand -- and Starbucks
will benefit by getting some of the coffee biz that
they're losing by people buying Nespresso machines (or
other machines that can't use Starbucks).
Net Net -- if you can get past the price, buy this machine -- I highly recommend it!

Summary: A Winner
Comment: My wife got me one a year ago and I am still using it regularly. it is easy to use, easy to clean-up and makes great coffee. While the unit is expensive, it beats anything else I have tried. Plus, at $0.50 per capsule, it should pay for its self within a year or so if you have a latte-a-day Starbucks habit. :)
