Amazing Purchase.
I was on the fence whether I wanted to purchase a Breville Espresso Machine or a Nespresso Machine. I have always spent way too much money on coffee shop coffees in the past. I wasn’t sure I wanted to buy the Nespresso machine because I bought a Keurig and an Instant Pot Pod coffee/espresso machine and both of those were subpar. They did the job but didn’t excel at anything in particular. I ended up giving BOTH of them away to a Christian thrift store because neither machine ended up being the whole package. I was also not crazy that all the Keurig coffee pods were plastic. My life is hectic and after a lot of research, I learned that ANY espresso machine has a MAJOR learning curve that can take up to 6 months on average to learn to make the perfect espresso shot/puck/pull/frothing milk. It’s not a task for the faint of heart or those who don’t have the time to learn how to pull that perfect espresso shot.So I took a leap of faith and got this Nespresso machine and boy was it worth it. Just like everyone’s preferences and tastes are different there are certain pods that aren’t my cup of tea, however, there are PLENTY that I absolutely LOVE. This Nespresso machine makes espresso shots that rival Starbucks watered-down drinks. It came with a frothing machine and I had very little research into making the perfect drink to appease my coffee addiction. I would purchase this machine 5x over! Because Nespresso has been around for a little bit there are PLENTY of social media pages and information that can easily be watched to know what the correct portion of syrup you need to make the perfect macchiato, latte, shaken espresso, and cold coffee.I have absolutely no regrets. There are options to make the pods refillable that you can purchase on Amazon however I do not think 1.10 (now if it gets higher than that I may choose the other option) is too pricey for the pod itself. I know that everyone’s price range is different that is perfectly fine because there are options for refills if you want that Starbucks experience without having to pay the price.This machine is for those busy people that wake up too late in the morning or only have 5 minutes to get their coffee and go or moms on the go!Do yourself a favor and buy the machine! Watch Tiktok or Youtube if you want to know what pod would best suit your taste. But fear not if you’re not into social media like that because this machine not only comes with a frother but also comes with I believe a 20-pack of pods for you to taste them all!A double shot of espresso is my personal favorite and (hot) coffee is my least if I am being 100% transparent but I was never really much a fan of regular hot coffee anyways. Now, the cold coffee with a chiller is a completely different story. Anyways, I hope this helps solve your 5-day dilemma of constantly researching if you are anything like me.

In love
I bought the new Ninja espresso machine and from day 1 it was a pain in my backside. I wanted to love it and it was gorgeous, but it leaked everywhere and the espressos came out awful. I returned it and bought the Nespresso Vertuo Plus Deluxe on a recommendation from a friend, and I am in love. My espressos turn out so delicious and the crema is luscious. (Pro tip: Fold in your crema and it’ll make your espresso next level yummy. Another tip: Wait until the light stops blinking to brew your cup and the espresso comes out hotter than if you just brew as soon as you close the lid.)I couldn’t be more pleased with this purchase. I still use my Ninja coffee maker (just the regular coffee maker) for larger coffees, but a lot of times I’ll add in a shot of espresso too. Also, the Aeroccino Milk Frother is awesome. I use it daily.

We love it!
This was a Christmas gift for my wife… I think i use it more than her so i guess it turned out to be a gift for myself lol. The pods are massive so you actually get good tasting coffee unlike many other machines which i shall not name. I think that’s the main difference with this vertuo machine. Massive pods equal massive flavor

Love this machine
I love my new Nespresso machine. I did a lot of research in the different variations and settled on this as it checked more boxes on my wishlist than some of the others.I appreciate the various size coffee options this machine makes. It doesnât do iced coffee which Iâm okay with. It also doesnât brew a carafe or the equivalent of a typical American sized travel mug which is a bit of a negative but not a deal breaker for me.The design of the machine is well thought out and offers a nice smallish footprint. I like that the water reservoir in the back has the ability to fold either left, right, or center giving better options on where it can be placed. I have been annoyed at the lid of the water reservoir as it is unnecessarily difficult to open so I added a small drawer knob to the lid (see photo). The machine is simple and sleek with a super clever lift function the the lid and only a single button needed to operate. Thereâs no maximum fill besides the physical capacity of the reservoir but be sure to keep at least a third of the tank filled with water so it doesnât run dry when brewing. I do wish the small stand that your mug rests on was larger though! I have a double walled insulated glass mug and it hits the is die portion of the machine and the bottom edge of the mug rests on the edge of the tiny stand. Itâs a bit inconvenient!With the vast selection of coffee options on the Nespresso site youâre sure to find blends to suit your style. Add a countertop milk frothier to the mix and you will save tons of money by not going to your local overpriced brew house. I absolutely love my machine!As I truly feel that user reviews are the best way to gauge a product before you buy, I hope you’ve found this review helpful. Cheers!

Nespresso coffee pods are more expensive than other name brands but the coffee is so delicious and smooth! The machine is compact, simple to use and looks great and I love that is has a used pod holder and movable water tank and that Nespresso offers recycling bags (free of charge). My only regret is that I didn’t purchase the Aeroccino!

Best coffee machine I have ever owned hands down. No mess, quiet and efficient, makes amazing Crema so much so that the aeroccino doubles the froth. Happy to be a part of the Nespresso club

Breville’s open box Nespresso machine was like new and a great value
Just received an essentially new Nespresso Vertuo Plus machine for less than half retail, as an open box item with warranty from Breville. The box had some miles on it, but the coffee maker was as new, probably a store shelf model. And it started and worked just fine. Second such machine I’ve had, and the Vertuo Plus is the best of the Nespresso choices. My previous Vertuo Plus went five years of daily use before failing.The previous machine did everything well but struggled to get through the descaling process.Does it matter where Nespresso makes these? This open box one was Breville-badged from the Ukraine, and while almost identical, seems just a bit better in build quality than the previous one, DeLonghi from Hungary.All trivia. Both make great coffee, in five pod sizes, if one cup at a time with a small counter footprint is your goal.
