I thought I read tht there were milk capsules as well as latte or cappucino capsules and that using BOTH produced a nice beverage. Was I reading ab out the Piccolo or a different model? Is there an easy place to see a full list (order form) or capsule options?

I purchased the Nespresso Lattissima Plus about 3 months ago. I was somewhat anxious about how good the coffee would be coming from such a simple "push of the button" machine. There are three coffee drinkers in our house and we have used it almost every day. The machine works perfectly and the...

I bought into the Nespresso system about a year ago after a product demonstration. I am serious about my coffee and have a number of different machines. While my main machine remains my Gaggia Classic, I was looking for something that could produce a steady stream of espresso and had the option to...

mjackson ♦ George,
I agree they are remarkably consistent machines and do a great job for a convenient drink. I also am glad you realize what a Gaggia is capable of.Thanks for the great review.
I have had this machine for a few weeks now and it has impressed everyone in the family. It makes create coffees and cappuccinos with no effort.
It takes a little getting use to the preset coffee sizes but once you figure out that the 2 cup buttons just double the water for the fixed sizes...

mjackson ♦ Bernie,
We are always glad when someone finds a great match and thanks for the great review.
A nicely designed stainless steel grinder with a pretty plastic upper and lower housing case. The machine is low on the noise side (for a grinder) and doesn't produce lots of coffee dust. Unfortunately even though it has an espresso setting, it doesn't quite get the grind fine enough for espresso....

Daniel Moraldo ♦ I agree. This grinder is best used for drip coffee/pour over or french press.

I love coffee and was converted to a french press about a year ago. Then as I started traveling more for work out of the country, fell in love with espresso and other drinks! This machine was given to me as a Christmas gift and think it does a pretty good job at making espresso. I am still...

I figured at this price point it was a roll of the dice. I would have spent more but I was afraid I wouldn't use it enough to justify it. So far, I have been surprised. Most criticize the steam quality. The short arm is fine if you use a small single serve pitcher. After practicing, I can get...

mjackson ♦ Robert,
I agree if you set yourself up to believe in the machine and use it as you are supposed to this can be a fun machine to own as it actually does work.
I bought this machine, having owned two others by Delonghi. I had to return it. If you read the owners manual, it does not recommend black, oily esspresso beans taht have been roasted to "caramelize" the sugars in the bean. Here is why. The slope inside the hopper is not steep enough to allow...

Michael Rosso ♦ Mike oily beans will coat the burrs in your Super Automatic espresso machine, and as they coat your burrs (with the excess coffee oils) the ground coffee will start to stick and cause your grinder to clog up.
I would love to hear from all of you that own this machine. How would you rate it? Pros and cons? Thinking of getting it for our daughter who has owned an espresso machine in the past but needs a new one.

Mary Ann Colvin Jamie, The kMix is a unique machine. It is a powerful machine with a durable die-cast aluminum housing and DeLonghi craftsmanship. It is ESE pod compatible (if you don't have a grinder). It has a decent size water reservoir (54 ounces). It uses a swivel jet pannarello steam wand milk frother, I would recommend a 12 ounce pitcher for steaming, the wand is on the shorter side. We do have a video at the link posted below if you want to see it in action:

Michael Rosso ♦ Jamie the Delonghi kmix is a great little espresso machine. It is compact, easy to use and produces a great products. The thermoblock boiler heats very fast for quick and easy frothing of milk with the Pannarello wand. Another nice feature on the kmix is the pressurized basket that makes producing good crema easy. All and all the price and features make the kmix a great little choice for your espresso needs.
