I have a Pixie on my desk, a Citiz and an old Essenza in various places. I lust after the new Maestria with the steam wand.

To your point above uk1, the consistency of the crema is key.

I know quite a few places that I can buy better take-away & I can buy beans from various places & self-grind, BUT for effort expended vs taste, you can't beat Nespresso for corto/espresso.

I'm less of a fan of the Aeroccino, very, very inconsistent.
