3.0 out of 5 stars Romeo vs. D290, October 10, 2006

By

This review is from: Nespresso E350 Romeo Single-Serve Automatic Espresso Machine, Polished Aluminum (Kitchen)

My impression of these 2 machines.

We bought the Romeo first than returned it 6 months later due to too many electrical problems (even after Nespresso repair) and replaced it with the D290.

Romeo pros: Beautiful modern design

Great coffee

cons: Useless cup warmer

Useless self cleaning mode (very annoying)

Mediocre frothing device

Too many electronics that could (does) go wrong

Too expensive to justify all the electronic

Automatic capsul ejection

D290 pros: Great coffee

Ease of use

Capsule is ejected automatically when user wants to

Less electronic that could go wrong

cons: Spout might be a little low for larger cups

Frothing device

A little noisier than the Romeo

Bottom line: If you can forgo the great looks of the Romeo get the D290.

Frother at both machines is not very good. Use a Bodum hand frother that works faster cleaner and creates great froth.

Coffee is great with both machines.

Enjoy

This review is from: Nespresso E350 Romeo Single-Serve Automatic Espresso Machine, Polished Aluminum (Kitchen)

My wife and I were in Paris recently for 2.5 weeks and loved the coffee there so much that when we returned we just had to have an espresso machine at home. Researched a variety of espresso makers and decided that an automatic machine was what we wanted. We figured that at some point the novelty of measuring, tamping, cleaning, etc., would grow old and our enthusiasm for making espresso (not drinking it) would diminish, so we agreed that fully automatic was the way to go. Bought the Nespresso Romeo on Amazon last week and have used it many times since then. We absolutely love it, and our friends rave about it, too. Nespresso has more than a dozen different flavors/strengths of coffee in their capsules, which you have to use in this machine. I was a bit concerned about that, but my research indicated that the coffee was of very high quality, and my own tasting over the last few days has confirmed it. Terrific coffee, every bit as good as in Paris coffee bars. And it is just so easy to use and clean. Haven't used the steam element for capuccino or lattes yet, but it appears to be fairly simple to employ. Very good instructions in the provided manual and book, and also on line. I highly recommend this product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not The Machine To Buy, September 16, 2008

This review is from: Nespresso E350 Romeo Single-Serve Automatic Espresso Machine, Polished Aluminum (Kitchen)

I've had my E350 for just over 2 years. While I would recommend a Nespresso machine, I would not recommend this model. First of all, it is extremely loud when making espresso. When I make it in the kitchen, it can wake someone taking a nap on the porch. Or worse, it can be disruptive (and embarrassing) to guests in the dining room. Early on, I wrote to Nespresso (on their website) for assistance with this loud noise and they never wrote back to me. Next, the warming tray does not warm the glasses more than a few degrees (and only if you leave it on the tray for 30-60 minutes), making it not worth your while. You may think that it can easily make cappuccino and other specialty drinks... but with all the tubes and connections, it is a pain in the neck, more noise, messy, and not something you will ever want to do again once you try it. You should seriously think about a separate device to handle the milk and/or make specialty drinks. Regarding heat, I would strongly prefer that the espresso came out hotter. So instead, I will always rinse my cups with HOT WATER to make sure that it will be hot enough to serve. In a related note, it is a pain when making 4 to 8 of espressos in a row (for company) because by the time you are done making the last one, the first one may be cold already... and it just took 5 minutes away from your guests!

There is one good thing... the espresso tastes good. But again, you get the exact same taste from one of the other Nespresso units and thus I strong recommend another UNIT. Be warned, do not buy the E350.
