The machine makes really good coffee. However, I do not use Nespresso original pods, I don't like that coffee.
I only buy coffee and tea pods at [link removed]. Their coffee is the authentic Italian espresso. The only negative side of this machine is the noise, very noisy, especially if you like to drink coffee (or tea, like I do) early in the morning while your wife is sleeping.

It was good for a few months. Loving it but as it hits 8th months it started leaking so have to send back to nespresso to repair. Lucky it's still under warranty so its free. The customer service provided was great! Turn around time for the repair is about a week and a loan machine was provided too.

We've only ever had one coffee machine so we couldn't really compare but by itself, since using it for almost two years now (although we only use it during weekends), we're quite happy with the coffee it churns out every weekend. We still prefer barista-brewed coffee, but this gets us very close for a quarter of the money spent. In fact, it's better than some not-so-good barista made coffee out there! Nevertheless, the aerocino (milk frother) did not last as long. Although it still does warm up the milk, some burnt marks always remain at the bottom of the cannister and this apparently is quite a common problem from what we hear from our friends.

Machine has been great, made I don't know how many cups of coffee, we usually have at least one a day, but at 75 cents a pod, we don't go overboard. BUT, now the capsules are coming out miss-shaped after being used, and sometimes I need to take them out and replace them in the unit for the coffee to come out. They look like they have been sucked dry by a vacuum. Weird.
But all in all, the Pixie has been great.
Anyone suffering with this problem ??????

Very happy with this nespresso machine I purchased from Harvey Norman, makes almost perfect coffee. Price reasonable, only issue is it makes a minor high pitched sound when not in use. Easy to refill and clean. I use a separate Breville milk frother which is awesome. Highly recommend this coffee machine.

The motor burnt out after 3 years of moderate use averaging 1 cup a day except when I had visitors.
Customer service wanted to charge me $75 as the warranty was for two years. My question is "surely the expected life is more than 3 years". I'll be contacting consumer affairs.

My DeLonghi Pixi Capsule machine worked well for a couple of years, but the timing mechanism on the pump started to play up on the "Long black" setting. I didn't worry as I merely hit the "Short Black" a couple of times, but now the whole blooming thing is kaput.
When working, it was a better machine than the newer model (made by Breville??) that I bought my partner.
Not sure if the cost of repairs would be worth it now.Pity as it made a reasonably decent cup of coffee.--three and a half stars, but now, sod all stars!.

The machine itself is perfect for my needs. After 23 months of everyday use, the milk frother got out of order. I called Nespresso and they have sent me a new milk frother. Will recommend to a friend.

Its a definite improvement over the Bellini, much more compact and fits in the caravan as well. Easy to use small or larger cups. Triple A

Despite known issues and a redesign to hopefully fix it - Nespresso will not repair any existing Aerocicino 3's and expect customers to buy another outright even if it is only slightly outside warranty. Their policy is I suspect a contravention of Australian Consumer Law.

I love George (I named my coffee machine). I don't care what the coffee snobs say, this is as fast as instant & about a billion times better! Sure, I could stuff about with a machine that costs what I paid for my car & make an amazing coffee, but I don't have an hour every morning to do that!

from getting out of bed to drinking my coffee takes about 3 minutes. I'm happy, my children are happy & anyone who has to deal with me through the the day are happy!

I would have given it 5 stars if they offered fair trade coffee. I also found some cool re-uses for the pods & my garden loves the lees!

I bought the Pixie to use when I travel as it's compact and light and beats instant coffee at a motel! I use the Lattissima at home and love both machines. Pixie is simple to use and clean. The frother is excellent. Good solid machine that makes a great coffee.
compact style
Not a thing!

Bought it for my wife's xmas present. So far has done the trick. The coffee tastes great, but its fairly noisy. The online store is a bit hard to navigate, but once you get used to it, its alright. Definitely a good way to have a quick coffee before work.
Great tasting coffee
Noisy

We have had our Pixie for a few weeks and we love it. Easy to use and quick to make good coffee. Quite easy to clean by putting cold water in milk Frother as soon as we have finished using it. I have to use Lactose Free milk and have no problems with the way it handles the milk. We are going through our pods quite fast. k.
Easy to use and quick to make good coffee
Milk frother only takes enough for one cup a larger one to make two cups would be great. Pods are a bit expensive compared to other brands.

I have had this machine for a few years now, and it is my favourite kitchen appliance, use it daily, never had a problem, can't live without it. There are many cheaper versions on the market that probably work just as well but I was not prepared to give up much bench space for an electrical appliance, this is the smallest and most compact on the market. The Nespresso pods are expensive but there are other brands designed to fit this machine at a lower price from the supermarket.
No mess, rinse & drain.
