The Nespresso D290 espresso and coffee machine
Nespresso D290
Nespresso’s entry level espresso machines are a series of beautifully designed machines. They are all designed for the Nespresso capsule system . Quite a few models came out and really it’s kind of hard to tell them apart, so you should pay attention to the small features that are different between some of the models. The relevant model are: Nespresso C90 GS and RS, Nespresso C100
The C series is equivalent to the European version designed by Krups (Krups xn2000). The D series is the European version designed Magimix (Magimix M100).

The Nespresso system is a popular capsule system developed by Nespresso. The aluminum capsules produced by Nespresso are filled with coffee grounds shortly after the beans are ground, and are then sealed. Nespresso promises a high quality flavor when they limit the expiration date of a Nespresso capsule to up to 9 months from the roasting stage.
Nespresso Capsules
Caffitaly
The Caffitaly System (or Caffita System) is one of the capsule systems for brewing coffee beverages such as espresso, and other beverages as tea. In order to use capsules of the Caffitaly system one has to use the dedicated coffee machines designed for those capsules. The system was developed by the Italian company Gaggia. It is not marketed in the US as far as I know, and generally lacks in marketing compared to Nespresso, Dolce Gusto or Tassimo.
Gaggia is also a coffee machine making company, so naturally Gaggia machines, such as the Gaggia K111d home coffee maker are compatible with the system. However, other machine makers such as Saceo with their Saceo Office machine are also compatible.
One of the important aspects of a capsule system is the technology behind its capsules. With Caffitaly the core of the technology is the use of two small filters inside the capsules. Water is forced with pressure through the first filter allowing an even contact with the tightly packed 8 grams (or 0.28 ounces) of coffee grains. When it passes through the second filter, the coffee is extracted and exits as a full-bodied, dense espresso, blanked with a consistent, compact cream.
I put together for you a list of most of the Caffitaly compatible coffee machines. Unfortunately this capsule system isn’t marketed in the US as far as I know, but other great systems are the Nespresso capsule system and the Tassimo capsule system.
