Talk:Nespresso

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Please put a caption on the image at the top. It seems to be an intact Nespresso capsule, but I wouldn't want to guess at it. Lou Sander 15:53, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nespresso quality

Most of this reads like publicity for nespresso - there are allegations out there that the contents of the capsules aren't as high quality as nestle make out (they don't seem to claim any of their blends being "100% arabica") and that they are producer-unfriendly.

My own nespresso machine seems to artificially froth the crema as well.

If anyone has some evidence or references as to how the nespresso system works it would nice to read here.

Without evidence to corroborate allegations, speculation cannot be included. DJR (T) (WC) 20:05, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
Well that was my point. As for the artificial frothing - I appear to be able to see that with my own eyes. 86.140.210.44 19:16, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
Reads to me like some junior marketing monkey from Nestle's been given some homework. rcrowdy
We have a nespresso pro system at work. The coffee produced by the system looks great and also has the right texture to it, however the taste is not fabulous. I think adding a text like "The system is of fairly high quality, but there are disagreements as to the quality of the coffeeblends offered". Any text about "premium" blends I would strongly disagree to. --Godal 22:01, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Capsule size

How about something on the approximate size of the capsules, and the amount of coffee in each? (I'm having trouble visualizing this from the photos provided -- and is a capsule good for one cup, for ten cups, or ????) Lou Sander 22:49, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Good coffee

I have 2 Nespresso machine, and I don't know for a fact, but by experience, this is the best home made espresso system. The coffee is never too bitter. The artificial look of the froth is produce by the unusual high pressure of the water is (19 bar). This is usually only seen on professional machines like the ones in restaurants.

The capsules are for each cup.
