We love the small design and simple interface, but we found that this machine wasn't as strong a cup of espresso or coffee as some of the more expensive models. It's also not as easy to recycle capsules as other machines we tried. This is why Nespresso isn't a top pick for our side-byside test.

We also tested whole, 2% and almond milk and found that all performed well.
