beanglass BGS-C01 review

A 20-bar, 1,350-watt pod machine for NS Original capsules, with programmable 35 and 65 milliliter volumes.

Where we land on it Twenty bar, 1,350 watts, a 22-ounce tank, two programmable volumes in milliliters and a used-pod bin counted in capsules. The most completely specified machine on this shelf, and it takes third-party Original pods.

What the maker puts in writing

Pump: 20 bar · Power: 1,350 W
Capsules: NS Original line
Espresso approx. 35 ml · Lungo approx. 65 ml, both programmable
Tank: approx. 22 oz · Used pod bin: 9 to 11 capsules
Auto shut-off: 30 minutes · Weight: 2.6 kg (5.7 lb)

Six figures from the second-cheapest machine here

Count what the five Nespresso machines on this shelf publish between them: two tanks, two heat-up times, one shut-off, six cup sizes twice over. No pressures. No wattages.

This listing gives a pressure, a wattage, two volumes in milliliters, a tank, a bin capacity and its own weight. It costs less than half what any Nespresso here does.

Thirty minutes is the wrong end of the shelf

The one place it loses is standby: thirty minutes before it switches itself off, where the Pixie manages two. Six machines here publish nothing, so the comparison is narrow — but on the one figure where there is a direct rival, this is the slower of the two.

What it gets right, and wrong

Strengths

Publishes six figures — pressure, wattage, two cup volumes, tank, pod bin capacity — where five Nespresso machines on this shelf publish one or two
The only listing here that says how many used capsules the bin holds: 9 to 11
Gives its cup volumes in milliliters rather than as names, so a lungo is a measurement and not a word

Compromises

The smallest tank on this shelf at about 22 oz
Thirty minutes before it switches off, against two minutes from the Pixie here
Original-line compatibility from a third party, which is a different proposition from the capsule maker’s own machines

Where this one stands among its neighbors

At $85, it is the 2 cheapest of the 8 models in this category published here.

Least costly of the neighbors$70

What people want to know

Will my Nespresso Original capsules fit?

The listing states compatibility with NS originalline capsules. That is a third-party compatibility claim rather than a license, and it does not cover Vertuo, which is a different capsule shape entirely. Three machines on this shelf take Vertuo and will not take these.

Is 20 bar meaningful?

It is the pump rating, and this listing and the KOTLIE below it are the only two on this shelf to publish one. No Nespresso machine here gives a figure at all. What none of them publishes is the pressure reaching the capsule, so read 20 bar as a ceiling.

How many pods before I empty it?

Nine to eleven, published. No other listing on this shelf gives a number, and on a machine used twice a day that is the difference between emptying it weekly and emptying it when it jams.

Compared with the neighboring coffee machines

These coffee machines share the category and the price bracket. Only what each one states is shown; an incomplete column would mislead.

KOTLIE ST-550	$70	19 bar	1,400 W	34 oz, removable

The difference between the models, in coffee machines
