What owners single out
Buyers' weakest aspect—espresso quality and crema consistency—directly echoes the critic's note that crema wasn't overly thick, suggesting this is a known limitation of the machine.
In their words
“Extremely quick delivery (faster than the suggested times on the web site) . . . I believe there were more than 100 pods included (a sample box of coffees was also included in the purchase). Machine is very simple to use and maintain, asthetically pleasing and proudly sits on my home office desk. (Compact). Makes a wonderful cup of coffee and is capable of utilizing many different pods. When repla”
Lee P. · verified purchase · lorespresso.com
“To Be honest, I am not that impressed. The pods seem to be lacking in coffee when brewed on espresso. Anything brewed from less than strength 12 seems weak and lacking in body. In addition the crema is always coarse and full of big bubbles. I am working through the pods again from strength 7 brewed as ristretto with a bit more success flavour wise, but x4 pods to get an acceptable double espresso ”
