NespressoVertuo Coffee and Espresso Maker by De'Longhi, Graphite Metal

This is the best coffee maker I have ever had!It makes the best cup of coffee and I love that when you open it, it goes into the correct shoot for the pod to fly out of, it is very easy to dump the pods out!

I love everything about this coffee machine! The design is very upscale and looks amazing in my coffee bar. It is very easy to use and durable when it comes to making that morning cup of coffee. The pods are also much smaller than K-cups and easier to find. Highly recommend!

Amo esta máquina Nespresso. Llego en buen estado y rápido. Funciona muy bien y los pods los puedes conseguir por la página Nespresso o por Amazon. Si quieres tener café como en una tienda,esta máquina es perfecta, la tienes en tu casa para cuando se te antoje.

Excellent machine- stylish. Makes a good cup of coffee.

If you like really hot coffee made in a Keurig where boiling water is forced through a plastic pod or made in a Mr. Coffee pot where boiling water is dripped over pre-ground coffee out of a bag and then left to sit on a hot pad until you get around to pouring a cup, this machine and the cost of the coffee pods is not for you. If you drink your coffee out of a paper cup or insulated mug while driving to work, Nespresso is probably not worth your time. If, on the other hand, you enjoy relaxing and savoring a cup of really good coffee, this is the one you should consider.The Nespresso machine is designed to make a precisely brewed cup of coffee not to produce a boiling hot cup of Joe.Each Nespresso pod has a bar code that tells the machine exactly how to custom brew that particular coffee. It knows how fast to spin the extractor, the correct temperature, and the amount of water to use. So, if you use a room temperature cup the coffee might end up a little cooler than you are used to drinking. I just put a little water in my cup and microwave it for a minute to preheat, and then I dump the hot water and brew my Nespresso. That way the cup doesn't cool off my coffee.I bought the De'Longhi ENV135BAE Coffee and Espresso Machine Bundle with Aeroccino Milk Frother. The milk frother is a great addition and much less expensive when bought with the machine. It is simple to use and clean, and it quickly produces a nice froth. IMHO well worth the price.The machine comes with an assortment of twelve pods of different coffee flavors, intensities, and sizes. So far I have tried half of them and have yet to zero in on one favorite. They are all good in their own way. You won't find the pods in your grocery store. You will have to order online, but they are available from Amazon and Nespresso and at the same price with free shipping. Pods come in sleeves of ten, and you will probably find it most convenient to order forty or fifty at a time. So, if you object to spending $50 or more at a time for coffee, don't invest in a Nespresso.If you like gourmet coffee with crema, Nespresso will take your enjoyment of coffee brewed at home to a whole new level. The machine is a lot less expensive and easier to use than purchasing your own traditional espresso machine, and in my opinion, the coffee drinks produced are on a par with what I have had in Italy where they take their coffee really serious.The machine came quickly, and the setup instructions were easy to follow. One of the Amazon reviewers had posted a picture of a hairline crack in the bottom of their water tank. As a result, I took a close look and found a similar very small crack in my tank. I called the 24-7 Nespresso help line, and since my machine was only two days old, they are shipping me a no cost replacement. It was shipped within two hours of my call. If you buy a machine check it carefully as anything considered normal wear and tear is not covered by the warranty.Operation of the machine is really easy. You press the button and wait fifteen seconds for the machine to preheat and the button to stop flashing. While that is occurring you fill the water container with fresh tap water and put your cup in place (I recommend preheating the cup). You then turn the knob to open the machine and you put in a pod. You then close the machine and turn the handle to lock it closed. Finally, you repress the button, and the machine will do its thing. After brewing is complete, you reopen the machine, and it ejects the spent pod into the side container. The container holds over a dozen spent pods. So, you don't have to touch the spent pods after each cup of coffee. If you order your coffee from Nespresso they will send you a free package for free UPS shipping of the spent pods for recycling. Since the pods are made out of aluminum, they are not biodegradable, and Nestle is providing a no-cost way to recycle (if you so desire).

This was the best purchase I have made in a long time. The coffee pods that come with the machine let you explore what kind of coffee you can order and it comes with a coupon! It is definitely pricey, but worth it. As someone who loves lattes in the morning, this is fantastic. The compact size makes it good for a small kitchen and the brewing time is very quick! Another great thing is the container on the right side of the machine stores used pods. I can't say enough good things about this machine! I've been using it for a week straight, so far I have no complaints.

My husband and I were excited to receive this espresso machine based off of the reviews. It arrived in the evening so we followed the directions to set up and ran the water through the machine per the directions. Everything seemed fine, went to bed.The next morning my husband found water all over the counter around the machine. He refilled the tank, checked it was installed properly and continued his morning routine. He came back and thought it was fine so he made one espresso. That part worked just fine. But a while later I came into the kitchen and found the counter covered in water and the tank empty again. After cleaning up the mess, I added a small amount of water to the tank, watched nespresso’s own video on how to install the tank (it’s really not rocket science), and waited. Once again it leaked all the water out.Needless to say, we’re highly disappointed this machine seems to have a faulty tank sensor/plug or the machine is malfunctioning. My husband really enjoyed the one espresso it made, but this particular machine is malfunctioning so I’m returning it. I’m also pretty disappointed when I went through the return process I wasn’t offered a replacement, instead since we tried to use it, Amazon is saying we might not receive a full refund. If this is the case, I DO NOT recommend this product. We followed the directions (again not rocket science, but I still used the booklet and watched videos to resolve the issue on my own) and this particular machine is just faulty.I’ll update after receiving the refund on whether they take ownership of the malfunction or charge me.
