Saw one of the coffee machines during an exhibition and I cannot help but to think its a very smart product commercially. I will place a few more pictures that I took recently later; and maybe some of you may have seen this to make some comments. A cheaper but far more stylish and chic design than most of the far more expensive machines in the market, it serves as a different way of brewing coffee. But I think true coffee drinkers may still refer to brew from coffee beans than to have little capsules of powdered coffee pierced and brewed.I like the sensitivity of the design in terms of human intereaction with the machine. The interface is novel, but its really a far more commercial-smart product than anything else. Some interesting comments on the coffee machines have already been documented. A few bloggers have stated their views:

My take - very cool looking bad coffee! Don’t waste your $259 (CAD)
Nespresso
Nespresso has revolutionized the way of preparing coffee to deliver the ultimate coffee experience for each one of life’s moments of indulgence.
At the heart of this concept is the unique Nespresso trilogy: the hermetically-sealed, iconic capsules with the large variety of Grand Cru ground coffees, the state-of-the-art, easy-to-use, sleek-looking coffee machines, and the Nespresso Club which offers unmatched personal service…
The Nespresso Grand Cru coffee has the best in-cup quality due to unmatched crema, body and taste. And, the great assortment of coffee blends enable Club Members to select the coffees that match their personal taste preferences, thus creating very individual moments of pleasure and indulgence time and time again.
So, you have to not only buy the machine but join a ‘club’ because you are locked into the coffee they provide, and no others. And, crema? I doubt it. Oh, and it’s from Nestlé. Mass market does not equal quality.
