An espresso maker excels.(up front)(Nespresso Essenza Flowstop)(Product/service evaluation)
You might love the thought of making espresso at home, but if it's a chore, you won't bother. International Consumer Research & Testing, a worldwide association of 37 consumer groups of which CONSUMER REPORTS is a leading member, tested six pump-style espresso makers. We found a CR Best Buy: the Nespresso Essenza Flowstop, $230.
The Nespressos accept only that company's coffee capsules, which is good and bad. There are no grounds to spill, no filter to clean up, and no measuring: One capsule produces one cup. The coffee it made was excellent. But you must buy the capsules at www.nespresso.com; you can make only one cup at a time (the other devices will make two); and the cost per cup is higher than with the other machines (roughly 60 cents per cup including shipping vs. 30 cents or less with other machines). And these Nespressos don't froth milk. (Nespressos that froth cost $380 and up.)
Cappuccino fans can consider the Starbucks Barista, $400, or Krups XP4050, $250, which frothed excellently, though tamping the coffee and steaming the milk can take practice.
