Bestpresso Espresso Machine Compatible With Nespresso Capsules

I wanted a Nespresso machine but I did not want to fork up that much money towards one. I found this combo with 120 bestpresso brand pods for $100. I am extremely satisfied with the machine. It is easy to use and works well. Also, the coffee actually tastes GREAT! I would def recommend!

Right of the box when I started using it, it would not pump the water and shut off right after and sometimes it would pump but it would leak water to the tray where the pods fall after use. So I end up returning it and bought a Nespresso instead.

Replaced a Nespresso Citiz unit. Nearly identical size. I removed the old unit from the Nepresso base that still had the working milk warmer/frother. fits perfectly . Works well but as others have noted it is noisy. Great value.

UPDATE: After reading some bad reviews, I decided to mess with the plug a bit, and the machine has worked without glitches ever since! I will say this doesn’t make the espresso as hot not as frothy as the nespresso, but at least it’s working and the espresso is still tasty!

I should’ve returned this within the first month, after it started glitching, but it’d always managed to start working again, albeit after an annoying period of waiting and trying to turn it on and off until it’d magically start up again. I figured it was just “touchy” and I had to work with it (whatever that means). Today, my hand slipped and I accidentally stopped the machine right after starting it, and it hasn’t worked again since. You’d think (HOPE!!!) this wouldn’t be a deal breaker on an appliance, but for this China junk, it sure is.

If I could do it all again, I’d have just bought the Nespresso. Those at least last a few (or 10+) years. This thing has lasted me 2 months. What a waste of money. Just buy the quality appliance- this is not that 😕

I am not actually quite sure what to say with my experience. It is quite small, but I suppose it is what you would want beside your main coffee machine; a very compact espresso maker that takes up less room on your counter. It looks fine. Very tiny.

Um…. the power button would not work at first, but eventually it clicked in after several long presses. As for the espresso function, it works most times you try to use the buttons….. other times the machine just growls at you for a long while and drips for like 4 seconds and then stops, leaving you confused. The machine is somewhat bi-polar. I am not sure how to feel about it for this reason. The sound in general is extremely loud. Keep in mind you need the right size of tiny cup to receive the espresso. I have some thankfully, but you might not.

I have had this machine for a few months now. It replaced my name old brand machine which got noisey and developed problems. This machine is made in Italy; it’s quieter than my old machine and makes delicious coffee. I use the Bestpresso brand coffee which is roasted in Spain and sells for about 1/3 the price of the name brand. Excellent espresso and coffee blends. The decaf variety is great too.
