Review
I did some of the basic net searches for best espresso machine etc and this model kept coming up. I was looking for something simple to make a great espresso or lungo, basically to be able to exceed the ” bucks” coffee shops at home. I have used one arm Pavoni’s and Krups models in the past. I also lived in Italy for 3 years. We had daily doppio’s and capuchi’s at the O-Club for lunch and dinner. Yes it was a tough life 
It’s something that I have missed for a while. After cleaning out the garage, I found my old Krups machine. Plugged it in and it didn’t work. So I caught the bug again and ended up purchasing all 3 of these items (Aeroccino not pictured)
I will say that [...] has the best deal now on the D185 with the Aeroccino @ 9.00, 0 cheaper than the Zon deal. Their customer service is also outstanding. If you do purchase the Le Cube you will be amazed at the ease of use and quality of the coffee by Nespresso. Yes, you have to join their club to get your coffee, BFD. It’s excellent, top notch, world class coffee from the best hand picked coffee beans on the planet. The old saying “you get what you pay for” holds true here. I’ve seen a few You tube video’s of people trying to use their own coffee in these machines and all I can say is, you’ve got to be kidding me. You buy a 0 plus top of the line espresso machine and you can’t afford a .50 per cup Nespresso capsule? The company has been in business since 1976, providing some of the best coffee from around the world, if not THE best.
When you purchase any Nespresso system, from their site, get the welcome package for 0.00 It gives you 200 capsules of every type coffee they offer. The Decaf versions don’t seem to fit for me, they just don’t make sense for the purpose of a great espresso or lungo. Included is a very nice black wood capsule display case that holds 36 capsules and gives a display description of each coffee.You also receive a nice “coffee table” book that explains the entire process of how Nespresso starts from the bean harvest to ending up in your capsules. I was amazed at the detail they take to produce the coffee. Just check out their website,

I probably should not have had a Ristretto before starting this review, it’s the most powerful espresso in the bunch!! So let me wrap up. The Aeroccino Plus is the BEST. Forget units that have a “milk frother” unless you just need to burn cash. This bad boy will make the best foam any cappuccino would love to have on top! It completes the process in one minute, that all. Trust me it’s beautiful and silent in operation. Get this unit in the deal or alone to improve your coffee and be hassle free for perfect foam.
So with the Nespresso “welcome package” just realize you’ll get the nice display box. I also ordered the Swiss metal display stand for the capsules which may be overkill for some, but looks great on the counter. So now I have the box for guests to decide with the descriptions of each coffee and the tall metal stand. The Bodum double walled glasses are the best, I also have the glasses with the wired handles.
I like the Bodum’s the best in espresso and lungo size, they are Swiss made and keep the coffee hot since they are double walled. They allow you to see the coffee, excellent crema that Nespresso provides, and the excellent milk foam from the Aeroccino, with chocolate powder on top. Trust me, you’ll feel like you are at any bucks best coffee house for .50 cents each! Warm the glasses in the micro for 45 sec or place on the D185 for 30 min, before guests arrive on the warming plates. The Le Cubes have warming plates on each side. The espresso cups fit perfect, 3 to a side, the lungo’s maybe 2 each side.
Nespresso has top of the line machines and in my opinion after reading their process of producing some of the best coffee in the world, you can’t go wrong with their program. Their customer service is “top shelf”. I’m highly impressed and would recommend any of the machine models without a stem attachment; with the Aeroccino…all your foam will be perfect in one minute. Get with the program………”Nespresso………What else”
