Nespresso - Master Thread

[LMB]

I heard from reliable sources that no liquid is ever in contact with surfaces that need Toiveling.

can you give more details?

What’s the consensus on which Nespresso machine to get?
And are there good compatible cheaper “knockoffs” for the Vertuo?

Personally, I prefer the Original Line - primarily because Nespresso prevents people from making Vertuo pods, where they didn't for the original line. So in addition to getting Nespresso brand capsules on sale, there are also many other brands (and many with reputable hashgachas as well) that can be used.

Curious how often people clean their nesspresso machines? I usually use a cleaning capsule once a month or so. and descale a couple of times a year.

If the only thing holding you back is not having the option to buy knockoffs. Make your own reusable capsules.
 It's time consuming, but coffee is delicious. Wouldn't know the difference.

I use a burr coffee grinder and so i get high quality fresh ground. I don't find it "time consuming" (Unless you call 30 seconds "time-consuming").

Looking at Amazon, i see some companies make a silicone cover which makes it even easier.
