This machine uses custom capsules of espresso. The small plastic capsules are premeasured for one use each. Just plop a capsule in the capsule holder and slip it into the spout ring, which has an attachment that punctures a hole in the capsule and perforates the bottom. After making the coffee, tip the used capsule into the garbage can and you're ready to brew again. The catch is that you can only use these capsules, not any other ground espresso, so you'll be required to stock up; there are a variety of coffee types available, however, including decaffeinated. The capsules can be purchased from Nespresso, either by phone or at their web site. --Cynthia Nims
Editor's note: This item may arrive with water inside from the manufacturer's pressure test. This is a normal occurrence and doesn't point to a problem with the machine.

Customer Reviews of Nespresso D300 Automatic Espresso Machine, Gray and Chrome
A great choice I bought this machine about a month ago and have made at least one espresso every day. I don't drink straight espress so I can't provide a quality comparison--I typically drink lattes and that tends to mask the finer points a bit.
I tried crema coffee for the first time this weekend. I prefer weaker coffee so I pushed the "large" button twice, which almost fills a 12 ounce coffee mug. My friends and I were thrilled with the result--the coffee tastes rich and smooth, just like a cup of coffee from a coffee shop.
If you are looking for a quick, easy way to make quality coffee in your home then this would be a great machine for you. The only consideration for some people will be the cost of the pods versus the convenience that it provides; to me this solution is well worth it.
perfect shot every time
excellent flavor, cremma, oh wait...no mess. ok for the purist you dont get to tamp and grind and wash and pick out the grinds and well you get the point. I get the 300 for a xmas present by those who know i love my shots. i made a quick doubble shot for santa so he could finish the west coast.
just get one
Fabulous machine and coffee
I beg to differ with the reviewer from Los Angeles. The coffee is not watery, and does not taste like "freeze dried instant." Perhaps this person got a machine with old capsules??? Or is using the "Large" cup button rather than the small??? (The Large makes about 4 ounces of "crema coffee" -- which is, of course, not as strong as an espresso.)
I just received my D300 yesterday and am amazed with how wonderful the coffee and the machine are! I got a tremendous deal, buying the machine and 120 capsules for a 30% less than the going price for just the machine (purchased from a seller on the famous auction site which we all know and love.)
The D300 arrived very well-packaged, with excellent instructions, and we had it up and running in moments. You are instructed to run a tank full of water through -- half through the steam wand and half through the group, to get the machine ready for use. After that, it's on to coffee-making. And the coffee is great! (And HOT -- if you warm your cup first) We've tried three of the 10 varieties, and my husband and I like the "Roma" the best so far. It has a very authentic Italian taste and rich crema. I also drink cappuccinos, and MAN does the steamer do up the froth quickly and perfectly!
My only "quibbles" with the machine are these:
1. It's quite noisy, and the pump makes a disconcerting thumping sound while steaming. (I called Nespresso to make sure this was normal. The customer service rep had me hold the phone up to the machine while I ran a blank shot and then the steamer. He said it sounded OK -- apparently this is a pretty powerful pump & they don't do anything to baffle it. Oh, well.... )
2. The water tank is pretty small, but then, this machine is much smaller than most espresso machines I've seen. Takes up a very tiny footprint on your counter, which can be a good thing for many people. And, I suppose it also forces you to use nice fresh water all the time, which can only improve the quality of the coffee.
As pointed out by other reviewers, the only "Catch 22" with this system is that you MUST use the capsules, which you can only get through Nespresso. They are a little more expensive than using ground coffee, but the convenience and NO MESS aspect makes the price worthwhile. My Rocky grinder will be taking a holiday for a while as we enjoy a break from grinding, tamping, and cleaning up messy coffee grounds from the counter.
I'm sure we'll still use him to make espressos on the weekends, when we have more time to "play" with our other "traditional" espresso machine, but for busy weekdays and tired evenings, the Nespresso machine is a wonderful addition to our kitchen!
