| Nespresso Prodigio |
Last month saw the launch of Nespresso latest coffee machine. The Prodigio, which uses Bluetooth, and Nespresso app to make coffee.
The launch was educational, and the usual fabulous party followed with carefully crafted coffee canapes and equally delectable coffee cocktails by Mixologist Cocktail Guy from the famous Duck & Waffle restaurant and bar in London. They had a lovely display of all the machine released since Nespresso inception.

Nespresso Prodigio: A New Way to Experience Coffee
In an era that is predominantly defined by technology, a lot of things can now be done remotely. Making coffee, for instance, can now be possible with just a few clicks from your smartphone. This is how far technological innovations have taken us, and this is how Nespresso Prodigio is promising to change your life.
Nespresso Prodigio is an espresso maker that can be connected to your smartphone through a modern application. This will allow you to make your coffee remotely, be notified when your coffee capsules are running low and receive alerts when the water needs to be refilled. Even while you are still lounging in bed or just sitting on your couch, Nespresso Prodigio will make it effortless to prepare your caffeine fix.
The Nespresso Prodigio is equipped with state-of-the-art Bluetooth Technology. This will connect the machine to your smartphone. With a few swipes of buttons from the app, you can already brew your espresso. It is going to perform various functions, such as ordering of capsules, automatic brewing based on specified time, providing warnings when capsule container is full, alerting when tanks need to be emptied, and alerts for maintenance and errors.
The Nespresso Prodigio machine is available now, and it is priced at £159. The Prodigio&Milk is priced at £199. The machine can be purchased from Nespresso Boutiques, Nespresso.com and leading department stores and cookshops.
Nespresso Prodigio review
 |
| My phone made me a coffee! |
I was sent a machine to review at home, and these are my findings. The
device is quite light with the water tank located at the back holds
800ml. The water tank slides sideways making it easy to adjust according to allocated space. Easy to access and to clean too.
Connecting the phone to the
machine – it was a bit tricky, it didn’t connect immediately. It took a couple of times. The
machine had to be reset, which I found instructions online, and then the IPhone Bluetooth paired with the machine. After that it was very easy to use the applicance.
Connecting Machine and Iphone after downloading the Nespresso App
If there’s more than one person using the application over different devices for the same Prodigio, it’s difficult to find out if you are running out of coffee capsules, if for example one leaves the house for a few days and the other person still using the machine. The application doesn’t get updated correctly. In this scenario, better to have an appropriate amount of capsules as back up in the house. The application still in development, so hopefully this issue will get ironed out. I heard other features will be added.
Still it is a great appliance to make fantastic Nespresso coffees without leaving the sofa or bed and to easy schedule to make coffee first thing in the morning. It’s beautifully designed, smooth lines and comes in Silver and Titan.
Disclosure: I was a guest at Nespresso launch of Prodigio and I was a given (temporarily) a Prodigio machine for review purposes. All view are my own, as always.
Until next time why not join me on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook…X
My model hand 🙂 Was such a good event and glad you got to try the machine too
@Pasta Bites, Federica always great events. I really enjoyed test driving this coffee machine. R
Wait… it uses bluetooth to make coffee?! Wow, that's amazing, making a Nespresso coffee without leaving the sofa sounds like a plan to me, haha. I love the sound of this coffee machine, it looks great, too! 🙂
I am not sure how I would live without my coffee machine. Especially with all the flavoured coffees.
I need this machine in my life, I can not function without my coffee and one that uses bluetooth would be perfect x
Gosh that martini sounds so rich and decadent!
Isn't technology amazing? I'm not a massive coffee fan, but the rest of the family would love this!!
I keep seeing nespresso shops everywhere, they seem to be massive at the moment, and I can see why! x
My partner would love this! He loves his coffee
I've often wondered if my other half would like a coffee machines as he's the coffee drinker in our house. x
Wow this is super cool. I wish I could get one.
This sounds great. My husband and I are thinking of buying a coffee machine and I'm tempted to get one these.
I have never heard or seen anything quite like it, it is so call that it uses the Nespresso app and Bluetooth to make coffee!
Shame I'm not a coffee fan because this looks like an amazing machine. Very innovative! I will definitely be letting people know about this when they are looking for a new coffee machine though xx
You can see that this is going to be the future of home living and parties! That Nespresso Martini sounds/looks delicious! I love anything with dark rum!
This looks and sounds just absolutely amazing, it appeals to my inner-geek x
What a beautiful machine – I love the thought of using a coffee maker through an app. I tend to find most items that you need to pair up have minor teething issues at first.
I'm a sucker for a espresso Martini so I may just have to try the Nespresso version! X
Now that is some cool technology. I hope machines like this are the future of coffee.
I absolutely LOVE Nespresso coffee, nothing has compared to it. I heard about these machines coming out for a while, they do seem great!
Oh my goodness, this is literally mum essential! I love the idea of using bluetooth!
That martini looks yummy, it's worth getting the machine just for that.
This is a really smart looking coffee machine
I have a dolce gusto but we're moving later this year so will be in need of a new one. The fact that you can make nespresso martinis with this makes it a very tempting option xxx
An espresso martini sounds like perfect cocktail after a long day at work!!
I think now I have seen it all lol, Bluetooth in a coffee machine now that's genius and an app can be used to make coffee wow.
I love the idea of the martini, it sounds delicious. Lucky you being able to try out this machine, I'm quite envious! How awesome to be able to work it from your phone!
Well,I guess someone had to do a espresso app sooner or later. I am not sure it can replace personal assitant coffee's. I guess you can sit at your desk, and order your coffee when the coffee machine is way down the corridor!
I love the look of this and I love coffee! We're on the look out for a coffee machine to make our mornings easier. coffee maker choose
