Is the Nespresso Le Cube C185 Espresso Machine Right for You?

Enjoy cup after steaming cup of espresso brewed to perfection with the stylish Le Cube C185. Read this review to see if this is the right espresso machine for you.

The Nespresso Le Cube C185 Espresso Machine is as much a work of art as it is a high performance espresso machine. I was immediately impressed with it's sleek architectural cube design and stainless steel finish. To me it has a really great retro vibe which would look fantastic in just about any kitchen, from the humblest of counter space to a professional chef's kitchen.

Besides being fun to look at, the Le Cube C185 also has a lot of great features:

A simple system perforates the hermetically sealed capsules, then soaks all the grounds to optimally filter the coffee. The unit's high-pressure 19-bar pump extracts all the aromas and gives body to the espresso ensuring a smooth crema--the delicious creamy layer on top. Yum!

Open the lever on the top of the unit to insert a capsule, then lift the lever to eject it into the backlit container, which can hold up to 15 used capsules. The machine's ThermoBlock heating system heats water to ideal temperatures during extraction and empties the remaining water after each use to ensure fresh water for each preparation.

Other highlights include a removable 34-ounce water reservoir, a backlit on/off button, two buttons for selecting espresso or lungo (small or large cup), covered cup-warming side plates, and a drip tray. A milk frother, measuring 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 by 5-5/7 inches, comes included--perfect for frothing 2-1/2 ounces of milk in just a few seconds or for heating up to 6 ounces of milk.

The 1200-watt Nepresso Le Cube espresso machine measures 9 by 8-8/9 by 9 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
