Anyone have a successful experience with the Nespresso Lattissma Plus? This will be our first descaling.

I've used Durgol on my espresso machine-a different brand-and it works well.

Theodore, I'm just like you, after a great espresso with thick crema. How did it work out for you? Thanks, Don

Ive had Tassimos for more than a decade. I don't think the cleaning process for this one was any different than earlier models and it might be louder than some pod style coffee makers. I won't fret that much about it and just enjoy drinking coffees, expressos, lattes, teas etc that are miles better than anything that other inferior brewer that begins with a K can produce. BTW, I wouldn't buy the latte creamers that they sell, even the "skinny" variety that they eventually introduced. Just put the milk in a grande or venti size ceramic cup, microwave it for about 2-3 minutes until it foams and then add the expresso to the cup. Makes a better latte than using the relatively expensive creamers

I did that with the first one. Tastes like strong coffee with a little sweetness. Doesn't taste anything like espresso. I had the next one mixed with just a little milk (about an inch in a 12oz glass) and it barely tasted like coffee.

Like, K. Bader, I have a Delonghi EC155 machine. Sadly, the pods did not perform well in mine (and, I did use it in the single serving filter). The espresso that I got was watery. I tossed all the pods because of this.

How do you get it to work well? We just got one for our B31 and it makes very weak coffee! What kind of coffee do you use with it?

Thanks for the insight... I'm frothing before pulling the esspresso now. I'm still very happy with the machine.

My sister has a senseo and I used those pods. Even the regular coffee pods came out nice! I was very surprised at how good the latte/cappucino pods were. Unfortunately my coffee machine is out of commision since there is a leak somewhere and the espresso button sticks. Have to send out to fix :(

They don't work! I think it's because the steam expands the plastic capsule and doesn't get a "full brew" cycle. The metal or at least much firmer Nespresso capsules seem to contain better/brew better. We finally settled on "preloaded" Hi-line capsules at about half the price. They are about 90% effective, result in great espresso/latte/etc. Good luck. Brown

Machine always makes some noise. Maybe go to nespresso.com and find a place to see a demo first so you know what to expect.

I did notice that the duck pod was an extremely tight fit. Haven't used them that much so can't say if it has damaged or bent the Nespresso or not. But I imagine it might have! Not much help to you, sorry!

I had a Giotto freeze up from the calcium buildup during a drought in Texas, the water was literally white coming out of the tap. The lever's range of motion was severely restricted, I tried the Dezcal, but it sadly didn't work for me & I had to buy a new machine. Call Whole Latte Love, they are a wealth of knowledge & very helpful to the coffee community. I have learned my lesson & now only use bottled spring water.

they have a new base now, I just called them about my THIRD one that broke at the base (collar). Mr Coffee has been very good about sending me replacements -- the first time they sent me a whole new machine because they had no replacement decanters in stock. this time they are sending me a new decanter, which the lady told me are new and should solve the problem Here's hoping!! I love my frappe machine!

I have a Jura Capresso machine & use the large descaling tablets that come 9 to a pack. They work great!

Ok, I am happy to help. First, the Nespresso coffee is the best and so is this little Pixie machine: easy to use, easy to clean (of course you have to use the Nespresso cleanser). If you take care of it, it will last for years.I am French, and I know what I am taking about, believe me. Happy coffee time. Katherine
