Customer Reviews

Fantastic coffee machine
The Krups Nespresso XN4050 is a stylish and well built machine that is quick and easy to use. Minimum effort is required in order to produce a professional quality cup of coffee every time. A rich espresso can be produced with a perfect 'crema' in no time at all. The nifty little auto-cappucino attachment takes all of the guesswork out of making hot, frothy milk for a perfect cappucino or latte. The XN4050 is a manual machine but I regard this a a positive as it allows you to control exactly how much water you want to use. The Nespresso capsules ensure that the coffee stays fresh and there is a good range to suit all tastes. Finally, the machine is very easy to keep clean.

Best coffee ever, and so easy
Got this for an absolute steal in another online shop who seem to be selling them off. Had to be persuaded by my husband as I was happy with the Flavia we already had - and I'm delighted to admit that I was completely wrong. The machine is easy to work, the coffee smell is the best ever and the coffee itself is absolutely divine - beautiful crema on the top every time. The only downside is you won't want to drink coffee out anymore (and certainly won't want instant ever again) as nothing tastes as good as this. You have to order the coffee online from Nespresso but whenever we order it arrives the next day (the driver told us that they keep despatching up until 8pm - can't confirm if that's true but they do seem to deliver incredibly quickly). Can't recommend highly enough - get one, you will not be disappointed.

Worth the few quid extra.
I love it. I planned to buy the Magimix M200, but was convinced by the man in Selfridges to get this one. It's similar to the M200, but is a much more solid and robust machine... generally more satisfactory in that department. I also prefer the matt silver colour.

The coffee is the same that comes out of any other Nespresso, so I won't comment on that - but this one has an automatic cappuccino frother attachment that the Magimix M200 doesn't have. You can buy it as an addition to the M200, but is £35 - so you are better off stumping up the extra £40 and get this one that comes with it. The attachment is a little tube which you put into your carton of milk, so when you steam milk, it just draws out what it needs and gives you perfectly foamed milk into your coffee... I was sceptical at first, but when shown it working it's great. £35 is outrageous for what is a little plastic attachment, but it does make making a cappuccino much easier.

If you're thinking of buying the Magimix M200 - stop! You'll be very pleased that you spent the extra £40 on this one.
