<p>Gosmom…sounds like they are clearing the Vue OUT!</p>

<p>that’s what I think. Not a coffee drinker, so no interest to me…but had remembered this thread…</p>

<p>I bought a nespresso essenza on sale for $99 for my D to take back to college. It includes a separate milk heater/froth maker. We tried it tonight and the espresso/coffee came out very hot, but I can’t get the milk to heat up as much as I like. I heated the milk and it automatically turned off. I then tried to heat it again to make it warmer and it wouldn’t turn on. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks</p>

<p>I use a french press, but my D likes lattes and spends too much at Starbucks!</p>

<p>I have a Saeco super automatic espresso machine at home and a Nespresso machine and frother at work (and another machine in our camping trailer…). </p>

<p>For the Nespresso frother, make sure the whip thingy is seated properly in the container. The milk doesn’t get as hot as my home machine, but it works in a pinch. If it continues to not work, take it back. I had issues to begin with, but now 99 time out of a hundred it works fine. It will not froth soy milk. </p>

<p>A double Nespresso shot and some hot water with a tablespoon of half and half is our go-to at work.</p>

<p>There’s no chance Nespresso will go out of business. It is incredibly popular in Europe.</p>

<p>zeebamom- How do you make a double Nespresso shot? Do you use two of the small containers? The machine I bought requires us to control the amount of water, and doesn’t turn off automatically. Would I use one container for one shot and then put another container in for the second shot? Thanks!</p>

<p>I have a nespresso and often do two shots with one capsule. I’ll do a large latte and then a small espresso. My mugs are big or their cup proportions are small.</p>

<p>I usually use 2 “regular” capsules. I dispense into a little pitcher (like a cream pitcher at the diner, bought at Costco business), pour into the cup & then add an equal amount of hot water from the machine to make an Americano. Each shot is about 1.5-2 oz.
The Lungo capsule I let go longer and get about 6oz out of it. </p>

<p>It isn’t my only source of caffeine, so I don’t mind the cost. Even so, it is cheaper than the Tully’s in my building.</p>

<p>Sur la Table accepts the used capsules for recycling.</p>

<p>Anyone with a Costco card and looking for a Keurig, the K75 is $149.99 bundled with a water filter replacement, 60 k-cup packs, and a reusable K-cup for using your own coffee, tea or hot chocolate in-store, and everything mentioned above except for the water filter online.
