• Water tank location is a bit awkward (its located at the back)
• The cup height can’t fit travel mugs
• Capsules are more expensive than regular grounds
• The capsules produce more waste in comparison if you were to use normal grounds. A recycling system by Nespresso would be a great option(this is not for the serious eco-conscious folks)
• Capsules are not available in local stores. You must order them online from Nespresso
• Nespresso capsules are usually not 100% Arabica (it always have at least 5% Robusta)

Summary:Nespresso Essenza D90 basically comes with all the benefits and cons of Nespresso capsules. Benefits being: convenience, efficiency, consistency and quality; using capsules takes the guesswork out of making a perfect cup. The Cons of capsules are its price and waste. But other than that, the machine itself is almost perfect (except maybe for the cup height which is somewhat of a given for machines of this kind). It truly is a marriage of quality and convenience. The price you pay for this machine is a bargain.
