Nespresso VertuoPlus Coffee and Espresso Machine by Breville,8 ounce,Grey

The ease of using this Nespresso coffee is great,,, the choice of coffees is amazing… makes the best coffee with ease

Love this machine. We originally had a different Nespresso that was a higher price point and we sent it back because the coffee was never warm enough. We sent that one back and ordered this one, the difference is night and day!! We love this machine the coffee is hot and delicious!!!

This coffee is so superior to 'what we all have' in our kitchens. Most people have not experienced a cup. I had my first cup at a family celebration about 11 months ago. I immediately went home and ordered this machine and have never looked back. (I now use my "old" coffee machine to make hot chocolate and tea, so it still sees duty.) Having coffee foam on your coffee is a game changer. And the coffee selections and quality are so incredibly good. Plus it makes outstanding pro-level espresso. This is the top product I have ordered in the past 12 months by far. It has literally improved my mornings and my life.

We really like this coffee maker, though we now refill the pods, which allows us to enjoy better coffee for a fraction of the cost. It's also more environmentally friendly. Best results come with dark roast coffee, ground Medium-Fine (closer to Fine).

I love the electronic opening, others require pushing it down and moving a lever. Nice machine so far, used for almost a year now. No issues. We mostly use it for espresso vice a full cup of coffee, so the water lasts longer. Easy to fill the water tank and dump the pods. I have only had a few pods that did not want to drop down into the disposal bin, just flick it and it goes.

Espresso makers are so expensive so when I saw this one I thought “oh it’s not gonna give” but it exceeded my expectations. A lot of people mentioned temperature which I completely understand but as an iced coffee iced latte person this was perfect for me. I love it so much.

I vowed I'd never ever have a pod coffeemaker because of it's wastefulness. My son introduced me to his Nespresso coffeemaker when I was visiting him. The coffee was exceptional, but again, it was a pod maker and I wanted nothing to do with it. He showed me how the aluminum pods are returned to Nespresso with the used coffee in them. Then the pods are recycled into new products, such as a potato peeler and other wonderful items. The coffee is then composted and returned to the earth. Still, I wanted nothing to do with a pod coffeemaker, but I loved the coffee / espresso that evolved from it. Once back home, I kept remembering the flavor of the the coffee. I also realized I had purchased many coffeemakers recently in an attempt to restrict my consumption to no more than two cups per day due to gastrological problems. The coffeemakers just weren't the same, nor was the coffee they produced. Well, I finally gave in and am eating my words because I ordered this unit when it was on sale, and I am in heaven! My other coffeemakers have been carefully stored away. It takes up very little space on my counter and it is attractive. The process of making an exceptional cup of espresso with perfect crema takes no more than a few brief minutes, and the kitchen smells so good - just like a bistro. I am so thrilled with this! I had read that very strong coffee does not cause as much heartburn as weaker coffee. Well, that is truth because I have not had any issues with heartburn after drinking this coffee ever since I bought it. And, it is fun choosing the different types of brews. I just sent a large bag of used pods back to Nespresso. By the way, it is no cost to you to do so. Simply drop the filled bag off at a UPS store or facility. I am now a devoted Nespresso user! Regular coffee doesn't hold a candle to this stuff!!!
