Magimix Nespresso M10: Espresso Maker Review

With such a rocky economic climate, you may be looking at the lower end of espresso makers, in which case something like the Magimix Nespresso M10 may very well pop into view. But, surprisingly, being low end on price doesn't necessarily mean not being high end on coffee output! The Magimix Nespresso M10 does quite a bit very well considering what you pay for it. In fact, aside from a few very minor issues, the Magimix Nespresso M10 is as close to perfect as you could expect from this type of machine.

At 25cm x 16cm x 29cm, the Magimix Nespresso M10 is smaller than many competing models, despite the deceptively large packaging. Predominantly plastic with a bit of chrome, the aesthetics are reasonably modern but unobtrusive, and this is the kind of thing you could stick anywhere in your kitchen without it looking out of place. The only structural flaw is based on the non-adjustable platform that lets you set the cup under the nozzle. The small size of the overall  Magimix Nespresso M10 combined with the lack of adjustment for the cup platform neuters it for use with unconventionally tall glasses. If you want your cafe latte, you'll have to hold the cup in your hand as you collect your delicious beverage. It's a bit primitive considering the sophistication of the rest of the Magimix Nespresso M10, honestly.

And if you're the kind of person who gets intimidated by technology, don't worry, the  Magimix Nespresso M10 is pretty user-friendly. In fact, it only has (and only needs) two buttons! The process of actually using the  Magimix Nespresso M10 is so easy even a child can safely do it, and it only takes a little more than a minute to get a cup of coffee. However, the machine has to be turned off, rather than turning itself off, so be sure to supervise your children so they don't forget! The one significant thing that may take getting used to is the fact that the machine uses company-specific coffee 'pods' rather loose grounded coffee. However, the pods are reasonably priced, good quality, and you get some free with your  Magimix Nespresso M10. A variety of ordering mechanisms for these coffee pods sees to it that you won't run out of coffee unless it's your choice to stop buying.

The many small conveniences and genuine advantages afforded by the Magimix Nespresso M10, such as the sheer power of extracted all the flavor from the coffee and the lack of waiting for water to boil, overall outweigh the little downsides of the product. It's not perfect, but it's as close as you can get without spending a ridiculous amount of money. And if you're looking on the market for comparisons at a similar price point, you'll definitely find the Magimix Nespresso M10 hard to beat.
