I have this machine in white, it's the exact same machine with the exact same issues except for being black instead of white:Here is my review of the white Singolo:If you are looking at the Singolo espresso machine you might have already decided the convenience of the capsule outweighs the price. I have done several internet searches and the average price of a capsule works out to about 124 dollars per pound, according to MSN money. However, I do not ding a star for that because none of the capsule machines claim to be money savers unless they are being compared to coffee shops. So money aside let's talk machine.I have a Nespresso and I love it. I really liked my Delonghi espresso machine, but the ease and convenience of a capsule machine seduced me over to the capsule side.Both the Nespresso machines and the Singolo work with 19 bars of pressure. The nespresso offers several machines at various price points, from the esenza I own to the more expensive machines that have milk tanks. As of now the Singolo is the only machine I have found in the line and comes in white or black.The Singolo is programmed for large and small cups. Various Nespresso machines come programmed, mine is manual.Both machines work in basically the same manner, open lever, put in the capsule, close the lever, push the button. Some nespresso machines can take larger cups so the milk can be added first, mine is not adjustable. Taking the catch tray off the bottom of the Singolo allows a larger coffee cup to be used. Nespresso also makes adjustable tray machines.Nespresso used to be made in Switzerland but now appears to be made in China according to what I can find on with internet research.The Singolo states several times it is designed in Italy, however, according to the box it is made in china.The Nespresso has a wide variety of capsules, the Singolo has four, one is decaf.The Nespresso takes 1 minute 12 seconds to get ready (mine is the least expensive machines, I have seen reviews where higher end machines like the pixie take less time) The Singolo took 1 minute 10 seconds.The Singolo came out at around 170 degrees, the Nespresso at 165.The nespresso took 22 seconds to pull a cup of espresso. The Singolo took 1 minute for one pull, 38 seconds the next.The automatic turn off is not really something I care about as I can stand there for a whole 40 seconds to a minute.The Singolo is large, weighing in at 15 pounds. The top lever barely fits under our cabinet and there isn't enough clearance to get our hand up to pull it down.The Singolo is a counter eater:Front to back measures 15 inches. Width is 6 3/4 inches. From top to bottom with the lever up is 15 inches, closed is 12 inches.There are four capsules at this time:Decaf which is described as Dense and intense,Toscano - strong character that stands up beautifully in milk,Vigore- dense, intense, and very creamy,Verita-a mellow roast with fruit finish.I tried all four varieties. I drink my espresso black, Jim drinks his with sugar. I must say the espresso I was drawing simply wasn't good. Jim said they tasted like cheap beans and I thought everything had a plastic taste. We emptied the tank and put fresh water in to try again, at which point Jim discovered the valve on the bottom of the tank doesn't seal and it drips if there is water in it, but you can fill the tank without taking it off the machine. We tried again. Each time the various shots just didn't taste good. The espresso tasted either sour or bitter and over extracted. With more established machines you have a much larger choice of coffee.Because of the lack of variety in the cups, the counter space and cabinet clearance issues, the unknowns as in will there be more varieties eventually? And finally the taste of the espresso offered at this time, I cannot recommend the Singolo machine. There are better more established capsule machines already on the market with really good espresso.I received the white singolo through Amazon Vine for review purposes
