Customer Reviews

Romeo vs. D290
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

Espresso Perfecto
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.

Great espresso - not so great machine over the long run
My father in law got this machine and I loved it so I bought one for myself. I bought it in April 2006 - in May 2007, it started having electrical problems. It is out of the warranty period and Nespresso is charging $125 to repair it. In the meantime, my father-in-law went through 2 of them and had the same issue. When it works, it works great but when it breaks, it's expensive (out of warranty). While I do the love the look and the espresso, I think I'm going to take my $$ and buy a less complicated model.
