Great Machine. Great (but not cheap) Coffee
Recently I was at a Disney hotel and they had a self-service Nespresso machine for guests. I fell in love the coffee. So, while standing in a line at Disneyland I ordered the U on my phone. I compared several of the machines and the U seemed to have the best features for the price. Plus, what man is going to order something called the "Pixie." Really Nespresso?
I have only had it for a couple of days and I will update this review if I run into any problems or have more to say, however this is my first impression.

* It was easy to set up. The instructions are good, although it seems as though they were translated from another language. The wording is clear, but sometimes awkwardly phrased.
* After a couple of cleaning cycles, you are ready to brew. I had my first cup about 10 minutes after unboxing.
* Its attractively styled. It's has basic utilitarian look, not overly "blingy" or gaudy.
* It comes with a sampler of 16 coffee...
my *BAD* experience with Nespresso U
Having problems with Nespresso U since day 1 as it simply stops the extraction with the lights blinking like crazy. Nespresso club says its probably my electric socket so I went out of my way and spent 80 US bucks to replace it by a professional with a brand new one rated at 20Amps, still this is what happens. Most of the times it works, but every now and then it hangs. Coffee is LUKEWARM! Nespresso CLUB didn't answer my first email.. looks like I had to stick my NESPRESO CLUB number on the title, since I didn't, no email for me.. they say I CAN'T REPLACE it by another model, like the PIXIE one, so I'M STUCK WITH THIS PILE Of $#@$#@!!!!! THANKS NESPRESSO CLUB!!!! NOW I FEEL LIKE A HOMELESS GUY INSTEAD OF A MOVIE STAR!!! GOOD JOB!!! PROOF>>>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoXwJ8lp998
My 3rd Nespresso Machine
I already own two Nespresso machines, so I'm already sold on the concept. This one is performing well. I had to get used to the controls, but that was not hard. My only comment is that the cup platform is too high for anything but the smallest cups, so effectively it sits off to the side, since I mostly drink lattes.
