Developed with a unique extraction system specially designed for coffee-filled capsules, this single-serve automatic espresso machine deploys technology essential for preparing perfect espresso. A simple system perforates the hermetically sealed capsule and soaks all the ground coffee to optimally filter the coffee, while the unit’s 19-bar high-pressure pump extracts all the aromas and gives body to the espresso ensuring a smooth crema–the delicious creamy layer on top. Used capsules eject automatically into the used-capsule collection container after the brewing cycle has completed.

DeLonghi EN660.R Nespresso Lattissima Single-Serve Espresso Maker Review
We bought this machine a month and a half ago with great anticipation since we experienced Nespresso several times before. Since we are fans of cappuccinos, Lattes and Macchiato’s this machine seemed to answer our needs. It did and in spades. Everything the machine is expected to do it does. I read other reviews but have not experienced any of the issues mentioned. The milk froth is fine, even adjustable. I prime/clean the spout after every session to make sure all is clear. Since you can adjust the quantities I was able to play around (drinking much coffee, strong and weak) before finding my ‘eureka!’. It’s simply the most easy coffee machine to use, with fantastic results. As for temperature of the coffee - I also felt sometimes the coffee wasn’t warm enough but after running my cappuccino mug under hot water before making the coffee for a moment this was no longer an issue.
We’ve had friends with typical home version espresso machines that just sit there until there is a special occasion because it’s just too much trouble - this machine has easily become an everyday machine for us since we got it, which is what I think Nespresso/Delonghi intended.
PROS: great coffee, many choices (even the short intense blends work in cappuccinos or long (luongo) coffees, space for taller glasses/cups for milk coffees, EASE OF USE!
CONS: price (pretty steep in the US - I bought mine in Switzerland for US$500) but for the ease of use it’s worth it, the space for taller cups is relatively narrow so you need to find ones that will fit (your usual huge Starbucks mug won’t cut it here).
