Robust, modern and powerful, the new connected coffee maker Nespresso Expert It is perfect for homes and work environments. Check now in this complete review everything you need to know about the newest and smartest technology from Nestlé.
contemporary design
A Nespresso Expert It has a bold and very elegant look. Even though it's a lot more robust than most similar machines, it looks good enough. However, this large size along with its more than 4 kg can bother some.
With a minimalist look, we basically have three circles that deserve user attention when making their coffee. The most striking of them is the sphere itself with the brand Nespresso, from which both coffee and water come out. In addition, we also have the two black adjustment controls.
With very instinctive and equally minimalistic controls, we can define the size of the cafe. However, the new feature of Nespresso Expert is the determination of the temperature at which you prefer your coffee! Basically there are three possible temperatures: warm, hot e too hot.
Practicality and technology
A Nespresso Expert It has several options that make it very practical. This is mainly due to the fact that she has a connection bluetooth. But before talking directly about it, let's go through the actual features of the machine.
Initially, we have the choice of cup size. Among the five options are Ristretto, Espresso, Long, the new American Nespresso and hot water. Even if it is strange for some, the latter is ideal for lovers of teas or hot chocolate.
The technology Bluetooth Smart from Nespresso Expert allows the user to create more personalized coffees. The machine connects to the user's smartphone and allows the control of various elements. From stocking Nespresso capsules to ordering a scheduled coffee.
With the capsule inserted and the cup in place, it is possible for coffee to be ordered by the official machine app. This one is even available for Android and iOS. It is also possible to schedule a specific time for the coffee to be made. However, this automation is a little flawed, as there is no sensor that the cup is in place for the coffee to be poured, which can cause accidents.
using the machine
One of the most positive aspects of the Nespresso Expert is precisely how it works. With enviable simplicity, just pour the water into the transparent container, place a capsule in the sliding door at the top of the machine, choose the specifics and press a button.
The side water reservoir 1,1 liters it is easy to fill, thanks to a lid that does not require the container to be removed from the machine. The sliding lid is also very practical, as are the almost instinctive choices of temperature and coffee size.
For the purpose of clarification, the Nespresso Expert it also has two separate liquid lines. One for coffee while the other serves only hot water. In addition to improving the quality of the coffee, it also makes it possible to use the machine for other drinks such as teas and hot chocolate, as we have already mentioned.
Maintenance and noise
A welcome innovation from Nespresso Expert are your automatic maintenance alerts. Once your smartphone is connected to the machine, it is possible to receive notifications about maintenance via the Nespresso app.
So you are notified on your mobile if your machine needs assistance. So, whether you need to fill the capsule compartment or the water tank, you'll be notified wherever you are. However, some of the maintenance can be a bit complex.
In addition to Nespresso's own indications of regularly changing the water, cleaning the capsule dispenser and activating the cleaning mode after use, other factors need attention. Descaling the pipes for example. Finally, another positive point is the almost total absence of noise in the machine. It makes sounds, but these are much lower than those of its previous versions.
Price
Nespresso Expert is sold in several stores, but it can be purchased directly from the Nespresso website, which is the most suitable. Its suggested price is R$ 999, which is not exactly the most affordable, but worth it for some. You can find it in the range between R$ 750,00 e R$ 800,00.
The machine has versions of 110V and 220V for sale, as well as a special edition. In this slightly more expensive edition, it also has an Aeroccino3 milk frother. However, the most expensive in fact are its refills with new capsules.
Each original kit with 150 capsules costs between 200 and 300 reais. This makes the machine not so suitable for avid consumers of daily coffee. The ideal for the use of Nespresso Expert are more punctual coffees, so that it has a more restricted use and a longer shelf life.
Conclusion
The Nespresso Expert is quite a machine. With a lot of technology involved and an advance in its automation, the machine is robust and very elegant in design. Among its biggest successes are the possibility to choose the water temperature, its connection to the app and the ease of managing your stocks and maintenance.
However, some weaknesses should be listed as well. Its price is considerably high compared to other almost similar machines. In addition, some of its automations are still too limited, such as the aforementioned absence of a sensor for the cup, for example.
Other complications involving Nespresso Expert are the somewhat time-consuming process to create your profile in the company's app, as well as your outlet, in European format. Even though it comes with an adapter, it still has problems for the controversial Spanish plug format.
Finally, we can conclude that Nespresso Expert is a great option for great quality coffees, even if it is not the most economical or the most versatile on the market. Ideal for more punctual users of quality coffee, the separate pipe for hot water increases your possibilities even more. It's a luxury item that pays off for the most avid fans of our good old coffee.
