Won't that send too much water through the pod? Hmmmm. My technique is use the right button to dispense what is just less than half a cup, then dispense the pod, then right button again to fill cup with water. Hey presto, americano.
Thats what I do.Also, the Aldi pods are very good at the mo
So far I have found non Nespresso capsules to be rather poor and prone to leaking however I have tried L'or ones today and they are aluminium just like Nespresso. Rather nice too

My machine has broken (again).
Is this typical or have I been unlucky?
Sounds a bit unlucky, our original Magimix* must be 12 or 13 years old now and is still going strong with just the occasional descale.Is this typical or have I been unlucky?
*I know they're all made in the same factory, or at least used to be, and it's just branding

Krups citiz, without milk.
It's not giving me a full measure, I've done a reset and tried adjusting the amount it dispenses and no change.
Do you live in a hard water area? It could be a build up of lime scale. There's plenty of guides online, here's oneIt's not giving me a full measure, I've done a reset and tried adjusting the amount it dispenses and no change.

Anyone tried the new "iced" flavours, any good?
I have. The lighter, citrus hitning one (can't remember names) was nice using one capsule, but too forced/strong following the guidance for 2. The stronger one was the other way round. Wouldn't consider either a must or a repeat, but neither is bad. Despite normally prfering stronger coffee, the lighter one more suits me.Hope I'm not breaking any forum rules... but does anyone know of a decent place to resell nespresso pods other than the usual route of ebay? I bought a lattissima machine a couple of years back, but I haven't used it in months, and I have a tonne of pods taking up cupboard space that I won't drink and would prefer to not just bin in another few months time

Is there any way of making Long Black/Americano's directly from a Nespresso, or do you have to just put in hot water separately?
I like a bigger cup of coffee, rather than just an Espresso. It's the only thing that is holding me back from getting one.
The newish expert machine has a americano setting and if you like a gadget it has bluetooth so you can remotely brew or even set a timer.I like a bigger cup of coffee, rather than just an Espresso. It's the only thing that is holding me back from getting one.

Catering company at work just installed a massive commerical Nespresso machine in the coffee lounge. It's €0.50/capsule.
They wish they'd installed it sooner! €€€€€€€€€€€€€€
We have the commercial ones at work, but luckily we don't have to pay for it. At €0.50 per pod they're making a tidy profit there, and annoyingly it's hard to buy the commercial capsules - they normally come from an office supplies company and only in boxes of 50. I think in Switzerland you can only get them from Lyreco.They wish they'd installed it sooner! €€€€€€€€€€€€€€
We've got one at work (with free capsules!). But there seems to be a lot less choice of capsules (we can either have a "green one" or a "brown one" - both taste pretty similar). And the machine always needs resetting/milk nozzle cleaning/engineer callout.
We've got a small Nespresso with normal capsules as a backup.

Since we have those other benefits, I really don't mind paying €0.50 per pod. Seems hundreds of others don't mind either.

After a few years of trying, I've actually found some pods better tasting than any of the oem ones. These things taste as good as good coffee shop coffee (and I don't mean chain crap). Not as strong but with that lovely fruity not over-roasted taste.
It's called Roastworks and Waitrose sell it. Downside is it works out at 45p a pod so half as much again as the original pods but well worth it. Cheaper if you buy by the 100
