Nespresso Coffee Machine

Today I was at the Ion’s boutique. Was quite disgusted by the service there. There were 2 long queues with at least 5 customers in each of the line. There wasn’t anyone else who can open another cash counter to service in such peak day. So disappointed. I will have to head to Taka the next time…sigh.

Went to get the machine replaced. The girl who attended to us asked me what was wrong and I explained to her. She said she needed to test the machine. Told her by all means. She plug the machine in and all the lights and machines in the shop went out. That faulty machine tripped the power of the shop. DH and I were chuckling away. And she apologise profusely for the trouble it caused us. So got our machine replaced with a brand new one. Did not ask for extra sleeves of capsules lah. Since they were so nice about it.

OMG! The machine shorted out the power in the shop? That's as good a proof as any. :yikes:

Oh my goodness...

Is it just the ION boutique? I was planning to visit the store soon to check out the Fire Engine Red machines (because they match my decor

Thanks for your help in advance.

I m not a coffee drinker, just wondering why people add whip cream inside coffee?

Just for the added flavour of milk and cream, I guess. Personally, I like it latte or cappuccino.

When you buy this maker, do you have to get those cups as well? Is the taste of cappuccino like the REAL thing as in Starbucks? Quite tempted but controlling myself.

Janet, no cups just the machine. I took one sip from my husband’s cup and found it too bitter. Hmm… I m not a coffee drinker so I may not be the right person to comment on the taste.

If u get a cup and not a mug, it will sit nicely on the coffee maker.

The machine doesn't come with cups. The frothing machine makes quite a good stiff capuccino. The coffee comes in different strengths and flavours. If you like a strong brew, go for a higher intensity one, like Ristretto or Kazaar. If you prefer a weaker brew, go for the weaker intensity ones like Cosi or the lungos. Try a sample cuppa at the Nespresso boutiques.
