Nespresso Vertuo Plus Coffee and Espresso Maker By De'Longhi, Ink Black

I’ve used Nespresso machines in hotel rooms and at friends’ places before, but bringing one into my own home hits completely differently. I bought this during a sale after finally having some room in my budget, and honestly, I wish I had done it sooner. The first thing I made was an iced coffee with the light blue iced pod, and I was shocked at how good it was. I’m an iced Americano person to my core, and this pod tasted so smooth, clean, and perfectly balanced. I didn’t expect to be this impressed, but it honestly felt like a little moment of happiness in my day. The machine itself looks sleek and high end, takes up barely any space, and is incredibly easy to use. No mess, no hassle, and no more last minute Starbucks runs or settling for instant coffee. It already makes my mornings feel more put-together and enjoyable. If I could give this 100 stars, I would. This machine genuinely makes me excited to wake up in the morning. Absolutely worth it.

I've been searching for the 'perfect' coffee-maker for some time now, and I have to say, this Nespresso VertuoPlus comes pretty close. We've been using a Keurig for many years now, and while it's certainly convenient and easy-to-use, lately the quality of the coffee has not been good. I can't seem to find any Keurig pods that make decent coffee any more, and even though my Keurig is only about a year old, I was sick of crappy tasting coffee in the mornings. So I bit the bullet and tried the Nespresso VertuoPlus, and it's SO much better than the Keurig--as others mentioned, it's like getting good coffee from a coffee shop. I can make an Americano that tastes virtually identical to what I get at Starbucks or similar shops, and the machine is very easy to use. Even my husband, who is extremely picky about his coffee, was very impressed by the taste, although he thought just the 7.7 oz. pods alone were a bit on the weak side, so has been using a shot of espresso in them which did the trick. The Pros: Relatively low price for the machine; very easy to set up and use; and great tasting coffee. The Cons: Pods are expensive and not widely available in stores; you can find a couple varieties of Starbucks vertuo pods in local stores, but that's about it. They're mostly available on-line via Nespresso or Amazon, and we're talking an average of about $1 a pod. It's also a bit noisy, which doesn't bother me, but may annoy some people. All in all, I'm very happy with this coffee maker, however I've only had it a couple weeks, so I can't attest to its durability. I'll amend my review if I have any problems with it. UPDATE: I've been using this about 6 months now and it's still working well, with decent coffee quality. However, I have to say the descaling process is nuts. The procedure listed in the manual does not work. Had to go to Nespresso website for accurate instructions. Even with the correct procedure, its a ridiculously cumbersome process. Glad I'll only have to do it once or twice a year!

Ok, I’ll admit it. I put it off for a long time because these things were so dang expensive when they first came out. Now that they are actually affordable, I went ahead and splurged. I did opt for an open box to trim off some of the cost. Right out of the box it was super easy to set up. Instructions were easy to follow and I was up and brewing in no time. Ran a few cups of plain water through it for the first few runs just to give everything a good rinse. I lightly pressed the open tab and inserted one of the supplied pods, then lightly pushed the tab to close. Once closed, I waited for the steady green ring and it was off to the races!! I pressed the button and waited with anticipation. It started making some noises, sounded like a jet taking off and then voila! a beautiful cup of espresso with a gorgeous foam head on it. From start to finish it took maybe a minute. The flavors I’ve had so far have all been great! I have nothing negative to say about this machine. I’m only pissed I waited so long to get one!

I was worried it would eventually suffer the same fate as the Nespresso Next. So far after one month of using, it feels like it has a better fit and finish than the other machine. This came as an interesting surprise. The lid that opens so you can place the pod inside is fully electric. To touch the lever and it completes opening all the way on its own. I would guess that it is to limit the violent opening by the springs and closing by us humans. Time will tell how reliable it eventually is, but I am pleased with some of the niceties in the hard work engineering so far.

Maschine Ok, da bereits bekannt. Jedoch nur ein 1,1 Liter statt einen wie beschriebenen 1,5 Liter Wassertank dabei. Daher ein Stern abzug !!! Einen weiteren Stern Abzug weil die Maschine nach dem 3 Kaffee extrem Wasser am Boden verloren hatte. Rücksendung nach Spanien - etwas kompliziert, da teilweise in Spanisch geantwortet wurde. Rücknahme akzeptiert (gut so) und Gutschrift erhalten. Für das günstige Angebot zu viel Aufwand. 2. Wahl ???????

This is our first Nespresso machine, but not our first coffee pod system. These coffees are far superior to other pod coffees and comparable to cafés. Easy to use, and the technology is very cool.

Très bonne machine

Es muy buena funciona modo automático es una pasada

Enamorada de esta máquina, tengo y unos años con nespresso pero las versiones de vertuo next y la pop (dos de cada una) esta última ha sido la peor porque media taza de café terminaba en la charola de las cápsulas y en tienda descontinuaron , me alegro de encontrarla en este medio y a un súper precio.. 10/10
