My CBTL Americano has pulled it's last shot.  I loved the fact that one machine could do both espresso shots and regular coffee. My counter space is very limited. Wondering if I should buy another CBTL machine or go for the Nespresso. We use ours for coffee, espresso (with a milk frother by Nespresso) and hot water for hot coco and tea. I need a machine that can do all of the above. Any suggestions? Thank you!!! |

The new Nespresso Vertuoline is pretty sweet - it makes coffee and espresso. Everyone at my store (Williams Sonoma) wants one!

How big are the cups of coffee? Looking at the website they seem to be 1/2 cup full? Thanks!!!

I think if your CBTL machine lasted for a reasonable amount of time and you liked what came out of it, then go ahead and get another. I do not know anything about the Nespresso, other than what you want it to do can dictate the price. I guess I would look carefully and read the reviews. Good luck with your new machine. I know we aren't the most hard core coffee drinkers, but we'd be hard pressed not to have some machine in the house the next day, if our Keurig broke. I'll be interested to read a review of whatever you purchase.

We have a nice Delonghi espresso/cappucino maker and it has been used once. I make my own Americanos at home so it sits and gathers lots of dust. |

Thank you ladies! My decision was made when I walked into BB&B today to find that the CBTL Americano was 50% off - so with a 20% coupon I paid a grand total of $31. Score! I'm going to start saving my pennies because the next machine will be a fancy Nespresso with built in, self cleaning frother.  |
