Simply Essential. Introducing our newest addition to the Nespresso D-Range. The perfectly compact Nespresso D90 “Essenza”. Nespresso is renowned for innovative machine design and, true to its reputation, Nespresso has developed a completely new range for the next generation of machines.
The original machine design and the new coffee extraction system (Compact Brewing Unit) of the Nespresso D90 Essenza herald an entirely new way of enjoying an espresso. The small-sized prodigy is practical and compact, at home in both the kitchen and living room. Their innovative, original designs are discreet and sleek, expressing simplicity and typifying Nespresso’s elegance.
The new Nespresso D90 Essenza is available in metallic gray as well as in coral red and very easy to use. The new handle system means capsules are easily introduced into these extremely functional machines. The machines are also fitted with a backlit button to manually control the amount of coffee needed to make an espresso or a lungo. A simple push of the button will both start the coffee-making process and stop it when the desired cup size is reached. Upon lifting the handle, the used capsule is ejected into a collection container.
I splurged on this machine from Williams-Sonoma after buying a $60 machine from Target that I had to return because it didn’t work. It was originally intended for my husband as I am not a big coffee drinker, but I’ve ended up having a morning cappuccino several times a week since we bought it because it’s so easy and delicious. I can make espresso or cappuccino in just a few short minutes and don’t have to worry about cleanup because of the capsules.
The Nespresso capsules have both positive and negative qualities. It would be nice to have the convenience of using regular coffee (or Starbucks, if you prefer), or to be able to buy the capsules in stores rather than only online. The cost is higher than it would be using just coffee beans (about 45 cents per cup of espresso), but as my husband pointed out, he was spending $3.50 per cup at Starbucks, so it can save money in the long run. Positives: the capsules are so easy to use, just pop one in and start the machine, and after you’re done there are no grounds to tap out or mess to clean up. We got the “Roma” flavor (very good) and ordered the flavor variety kit, so if the other flavors are as good as the one we’ve tried, this will probably be the best purchase we’ve made this year.
