Nespresso TOTEM Glass Collection, Original-line COFFEE CAPSULES HOLDER

I just got mine a few months ago free with my club account (purchased 200 pods of coffee 131$). I like it. I am a bit hill billy and trailer park people though I know how to fix things. :0) So pods popping out the bottom isn't a problem for me, I just put them back in. I was also able to stick the list of all the coffees that came with my Nespresso, under the glass/plastic portion and that helps know what coffee is what (I like fortissio). It is small, not even 12 inches wide, it holds the coffee up and off the counter AND it isn't glass, looks as clear as glass, so I don't have to worry about it shattering as bad if it falls from my windowsill. This totem is a nice place to put the coffee to keep it out of the box. The bottom is black so it don't show the things that fall from my bonsai or my coffee splatters;) I do recommend buying the coffee though on the Nespesso website though so much cheaper.

The totem came and I opened the box and found I got a bowl instead. I love the bowl but it was not the product pictured.

I recently bought the Nespresso Totem for my Nespresso capsules. I did not buy it through Amazon, but was compelled to leave a review. Out of the box the product looks decent enough, however, upon taking a closer look, I noticed that the clear piece (I believe it's acrylic) gets scratched easily. The piece is basically a clear tube that sits on the black plastic bottom. It is not held into place and sits loosely on the base. Additionally fingerprints, water spots, and dust are very visible on the "tube.". Finally, when capsules are added into the holder, you have to be really careful because the weight of the ones higher up in the tube can easily push the the ones in the base right out of the holder and onto the table. Oh, and one other thing, the base doesn't turn. The carousel for Nespresso is much cheaper, looks nicer, is more sturdy, and is on spinning base.

Not too shabby, could be a little more robust, but I guess you get what you pay for. It does the job just fine and keeps my pods all in one place and easy accessible.I think I would look around for a better product rather than give this as a gift or recommend to friends

I purchased this capsule dispenser from another seller. I have only bad things to say about it. First, there is no glass. I get it, it's the collection's name but still; for this price, you'd expect more than just plastic. The look is not bad which is why I purchased it in the first place but functionality is the worst I have ever seen. Capsules will simply not stay in the tray if you put more than 4 or 5 of them. The reason is that capsules in the top cylinder push those in the tray out which seems to defy the purpose of the dispenser. It's like the "designers" never tried this product once. I have some news for you A&P Cahen Design: design is just not about look, it is also about functionality otherwise it would be called art. It took me one sleeve to realize how bad this product was. How can you put on the market such POC? This goes to Nespresso too who put its name on a product that simply doesn't work. Shame on you both!!

It holds them but the clear part slides. I picked it up not knowing and all of the cups fell out. Not a solid design but functional.

The best part about this stand are the bad reviews. Everything said is true. It is truly one of most poorly designed devices that I have ever experienced. The best part is seeing the pods explode out of the base. The photoshopped rendition of perfectly aligned vertical pods makes me jealous. It was a freebie because Nespresso must have a whole warehouse of the darn things. Joke is on them.I will admit that it added hilarity into my life after I put my dear Standard Schnauzer, Nita Babe, to sleep that day. I picked the stand up as a freebie and just started laughing at my futile attempts to load the stand.A&P Cahen Design, you blew this one!
