Nespresso Vertuo Coffee and Espresso Machine by De'Longhi with Milk Frother, 1000 Milliliters, Graphite Metal

I want to give it 10 stars! I’ve only had it 5 days and I’m in love! Never going back to a regular coffee pot or wasteful Kuerig, that doesn’t even make good quality coffee. Many positive things about the Nespresso; 1) nice and sleek design looks great on the countertop 2) used pods fall automatically into a container when you open it to insert a new pod, this is especially great since my husband would just leave the used KCups on the countertop cuz walking over to the garbage can is just too much effort in the morning ;) 3) great tasting coffee and espresso for $1.10 per cup 4) they recycle the aluminum pods and the coffee grounds get turned into compost, no guilt like with the Kuerig! 5) quick and convenient Some things to note; you can only get the approved recycling bags if you order your coffee from Nespresso, but they are free of charge and are prelabled so you don’t pay for shipping them back. Even though I ❤️ Amazon, I recommend ordering your pods directly through Nespresso for that reason as well as they are actually 10¢ per pod cheaper and do offer free shipping with orders over $50, which is only 5 sleeves of coffee. To address some of the other reviewers issues with the coffee not being hot enough, I think that’s just personal preference, I hate burn your toungue scalding coffee. I want it to be hot but ready to drink, I don’t want to have to wait for it to cool as I do with Starbucks. And you can always put it in the microwave or a travel cup to keep it hot longer. Another issue I saw from previous reviewers is that the Aeroccino milk frother doesn’t do a good job. I did some research on that since I initially had the same problem. Fresh cold milk is key, and higher fat content will froth better. Don’t fill the frother past the little ”globe” part of the whisking mechanism, see pics. When I made these adjustments the milk frothed perfectly. I also tried almond and coconut milk and both will froth just fine. And lastly the only slightly negative is that it is louder than I expected, but only for a few seconds at the end of brewing while the centrifuge is working. I very highly recommend the Nespresso, I chose this model over the newer one since it was lower in price (at least in some colors) and there didn’t seem to be any difference in technology only in the exterior appearance of it. I also didn’t care that the newer one has a water container that swivels so it can be placed next to or behind the machine. Etremly happy with my purchase! 😁

We decided to take the plunge with this machine in the hopes that we could stop buying coffee on the go and start saving a little money. When ordering coffee straight from Nespresso there are some pretty nice deals and the costs are pretty low compared to buying coffee on the run. Eventually the costs saved from buying out will pay for this setup. Think $3-6 per drink vs the .85 cents to $1.20 per drink for the Nespresso. So far this machine has delivered some really yummy espresso, Americanos and regular coffee. Waiting on the syrups to arrive before we get all fancy and mix things up a little. Espresso Summary: There is a big difference in the level 4 intensity espresso and the level 11 intensity espresso pods as far as the color and flavor are concerned. Both are excellent and have a time and place. There is a nice crema on the top as you've probably seen in videos or reviews which can be nice if you want to add an extra little zing on top such as cheyenne pepper and cocoa powder or cinnamon depending on the roast. (I went with the Evaryl Double Wall Espresso Cups Set which are pretty great for serving a straight shot of espresso.) Espresso Double-Shot Summary: These are ok but I don't get much of a difference in flavor between the two options available from Nespresso. They are supposed to be a little more flavorful when used with milk which I haven't attempted as of yet. Coffee Summary: I haven't noticed too much of a difference in the coffee cup size flavor profiles drinking them straight. They aren't bland but they definitely aren't as flavorful as a nice darkroast made via French press. My wife uses creamer with the coffee and sometimes uses the vanilla or caramel flavor pods. Americano Summary: The Americano pod sizes are excellent and sometimes I'll put another shot of espresso in one just for kicks. These are one of my favorites right now. Aeroccino 3 Summary: We haven't used the frother because we don't have any syrups to mix with the milk / coffee to get the full effect. Will update the review once we give that a whirl. We wanted to make sure we enjoyed the coffee before going "all in" on ordering things. All of the pods produce a hot coffee that could burn your tongue if you try to drink it too fast. It's not 200 degree hot which is really nice because it's drinkable in about 5 minutes. The machine isn't whisper quiet but you can put a rubber mat underneath to absorb the vibrations from the centrifuge spinning up. The first unit I received had a broken water tank which would normally turn me off from the product but I was determined to give it a try and hopefully save money down the road. Got a three year Square Trade Warranty just in case. Some of the parts feel cheap but there are more expensive units out there. I can only assume the more expensive units are a little quieter and use better materials. Last thing: If you order coffee pods from Nespresso you can add recycling bags for free to your order that come with pre-paid UPS shipping. We don't feel like we're being totally wasteful which is a nice touch. I don't work for Nespresso and paid for this with my own money. We're all different so you may like it and you might not.

I have been using the Nespresso Veruo Evoluo coffee maker everyday at work for about 2 months now. It is perfect for me in my office because it doesn't take up a lot of room and the fact that it is ready to go in 10-15 seconds is amazing. The coffee is great and I have had no issues. I am still trying out all the varieties they have and haven't found one yet that I dislike, just different ones for different occasions. The machine works great and the only complaint which isn't much of a complaint, just something to be aware of, is that the water dispenser doesn't have a way of telling you its too low, you just have to look. The frother is a snap to use and although I don't use it very often, that is by choice and not due to any difficulty. I particularly like the ability of this machine to brew different sizes and although Nespresso are known for the espresso, I mainly use it for the Lungo and Alto sizes. As a system, the only other caveat to a machine like this is the need for the proprietary pods. They are recyclable which is nice but have to get them from Nespresso online. At 1.10 per pod for most of the Lungo (7 oz I believe) it isn't the cheapest option but it is an excellent one. We have a Starbucks in the hospital where I work and it is obviously much cheaper than that. Not as inexpensive as a Keurig and the like (which I have had in my office) but for the improved quality of coffee, an easy choice now. One of the best purchases I have made and if you like good quality coffee, fast, and cheaper than a Starbucks or Dunkin' then I recommend this. At least I won't be going back to anything else.

I had been putting off purchasing this machine due to some reviews stating that the coffee was not hot enough. It turns out that most of those reviews were for the original models. The new Vertuoline machines seem to brew a slightly hotter cup than the original. Granted it is not so hot as to scald you but who drinks coffee that hot? When I received the machine I was first very impressed with how it was packaged. After unpacking it I was delighted to see that it came with a box of 12 capsules, 9 coffee and 3 espresso. All of various flavors and intensities, it also explained what made up each flavor and used a 1 to 11 number system to tell you how strong the blend was, 1 being the weakest and 11 the strongest. The bundle also came with a fabulous milk frothier. The initial setup is very easy to follow, it tells you how to do a first time use cleaning and how to brew your first cup of coffee. I prefer more of a latte when drinking my coffee so that gave me a chance to try out the milk frothier that came with the machine. First after inserting the coffee pod and starting the brewing process I was delighted to see how the coffee and foam actually separated just as seen in the videos on the website. It only took about 45 seconds to brew the coffee and the frothier took almost exactly the same amount of time to heat and froth the milk. Thus if you drink a latte coffee start them both at the same time to get the hottest coffee possible. For a latte I recommend using at least a 16oz cup or mug so both the coffee and milk will fit. I tried various flavors and intensities both with and without milk. Once I smelled the aroma, saw and then tasted various blends I was hooked!!!! The quality of these coffees are as good as it gets when home brewing. I have since retired my previous machine and will never be satisfied with anything less than my new Nespresso machine and coffees. If you truly love coffee house coffee then why not make them yourself at home. Save time and money!!!! Once you try this machine I am sure you will love it just as I do!!!!

Love it! Works so well. The coffee is sooo delicious. It’s creamy, frothy, and smooth like velvet. Great strong flavor. I really look forward to my coffee each day. The frother (the Aeroccino) is very quiet, and is so nice for hot steamed milk or half n half! Easy to use and clean...it’s great to have good quality coffee and with steamed milk & foam right at home. While I noticed in some of the reviews complaints about how noisy the Nespresso Vertuo machine is (and it is true, it’s loud), this doesn’t bother me, personally, in the least. After going thru THREE Keurig machines (I seem to have nothing but problems with those even when they’re still relatively new), I read reviews and researched before deciding on the Nespresso Vertuo - the Aeroccino paired with it sealed my decision - it is “the icing on the cake”. I am very, very happy so far with both my Nespresso Vertuo and Aeroccino machine. I have had the machines for a full month - and they are used multiple times a day every single day, so...so far so good. Long may it last. At the same time I ordered the machines, I ordered a variety pack of Nespresso capsules thru Amazon. We liked them all! I have already reordered (directly from Nespresso) more capsules...and my concern about not being able to buy coffee capsules in the market or at Sam’s Club (as I could coffee pods for Keurig machines) was removed by how easily I could reorder and how quickly Nespresso shipped my order. Nespresso also provides a recycle bag with postage already paid for shipping used coffee capsules back to them. That is a win-win for me! I highly recommend these for real coffee lovers like me & my family are.

Tasty

Excellent but the frother is not the best, just warm the milk

I spent a few days researching all kinds of different coffee/espresso machines for my wife as a Christmas gift. I looked at a TON of different machines ranging from $90 all the way up to $300+. My wife only had a couple "needs" out of it a new machine; she wanted to be able to make nice drinks and wanted a milk frother. After comparing a ton of different brands and then a ton of different Nespresso models I settled on this one. Ordered it and 3 days later it arrived on my doorstep. BE AWARE: If you are ordering this as a gift, it will NOT come in an Amazon box but rather the Nespresso box itself. I held it from her for about a week before we finally agreed to give each other a gift. She was thrilled and at 9pm that night we hooked it up and made some coffee! The maker itself it's rather heavy and seems VERY well built. The same is to be said about the frother that was included. Both feel like they will last quite a few years easily. Now, how about the coffee? The coffee this machine makes is AMAZING. Up until this point we have used various single cup brewers and a standard coffee pot. This machine puts those to absolute shame. Coffee comes out hot and just plain delicious. The milk frother will froth/heat your milk (or creamer) in about a minute and is PERFECT. There is also an option for cold froth if you would like that. We have tried quite a few of the included coffees and already have some favorites. Long story short, BUY THIS COFFEE MAKER. You will be more than glad you did and probably find yourself drinking more coffee, it's that good!

Amazing. Hands down THE BEST coffee maker I have ever owned! It's like having a fancy coffee shop in my kitchen. The milk steamer is an amazing bonus and I love the convenience of ordering the coffee pods online. Also love that these pods can be recycled. As a coffee lover this was an excellent purchase and worth every penny :)

I loved my Nespresso at the beginning but now, not so sure. There is a water leak underneath the machine. At first, I thought it was a one-off, but now it seems to leak regularly. I cannot seem to be able to return it so I am in a conundrum. What to do with a leaky Nespresso?

Absolutely love my machine. Great fun trying out all the different coffee flavours & intensities. Replaced my Keurig with this machine-a definite upgrade +

Love the coffees and lattes we can make with this unit. Lots of variety to choose from and easy to order online.

Nothing compares to the quality of Nespresso coffee and machines. I have them all and this is by far the best.
