5 out of 5 stars the best espresso machine i have owned   March 24, 2009

I have had several machines over the years and this is the best.The machine is ready and primed in less than one minute.The coffee is excellent and consistent.I do not reccomend the frother . The Froth Au Lait is much better so I use that separately.

We have been coffee addicts since the early 70's and our last machine was an Olympic from Zabars circa 1990. The Nespresso Romeo is perfect if a bit messy to clean the milk frother. Always on, always hot, place the capsule, push the button. Simple, clean, unobtrusive, quick for one or a dozen. No grinders, no noise, no spilling. Learn to appreciate the differences in coffee with the many capsules easily arranged and inserted. We love the RomeoNespresso E350 Romeo Single-Serve Automatic Espresso Machine, Polished Aluminum


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

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.



2 out of 5 stars High Price for poor quality and design   December 11, 2007

I agree with Christian...
The Romeo makes coffee as good as we got while in Italy; the trip that prompted our purchase of the Romeo.

Nespresso's coffees are fabulous, their delivery system is quick and easy, and for the quality of coffee you get the price is not outrageous.

But the machine... we use it every day... and after the first few weeks one of the internal parts broke... turns out that sometimes the capsules (because of the pressure that is built up in them during the brewing process) can eject their grounds into the inside of the machine causing the mechanics to jam. Nespresso sent a new part after telling me I should do a better job of cleaning the machine.

Several months later the frother stopped working completely. Again, after being admonished by their customer service person for not taking good enough care of the machine and not being gentle enough with it they agreed as a one-time courtesy (imagine that, and all while the machine is still under full warranty) to send a new and much improved frother...a whole new design. It turns out that the old frother had a tiny piece the size of a push pin that was stuck in the end of a short piece of rubber hose (a very small air vent) that must have come out during cleaning and gotten lost. Who knew? The instructions and common sense pretty much dictate that you should clean the frother after each use but it does not seem to be made for such frequent removal and replacement. The entire frother unit would finally no longer hold onto the steam spout.

Now about 6 months after purchase we are running into electrical problems. The machine refuses to start up, won't make steam but makes a nice water squirter if you need one in your kitchen. A call to Nespresso resulted in another admonishment that I was only unhappy with the way the machine worked and that there was really nothing wrong with it. After some debate and explaining that after six months I knew very well how the machine was supposed to work and that it was no longer working properly the representative finally agreed to (reluctantly) send a loaner machine so this one could be sent back for repair.

The machine will make an outstanding espresso and related drinks but the full cups of coffee are much too weak... there just doesn't seem to be enough coffee in a capsule to make a really good cup of coffee that doesn't taste watered down.

The quality of the Nespresso Romeo does not live up to its $700 - 800 price tag and the machine is certainly not made to hold up under daily use. And it is much too expensive to hide under the counter for occasional use.

The poor performance of this machine in only six months and the very un-sympathetic and condescending nature of their customer service people does not make this a recommended buy.
