  The Tesla of Coffee

  Nespresso Vertuo is Tesla in the coffee industry. I have had pod coffee makers before. I have used Nespresso machines before. This one beats them out by far. Right out of the box, I was struck by how slick the design was. It has the small footprint of a pod coffee machine. Set up was simple enough. I ran water through it first to rinse out the machine. You put water into the tank. Lock it into place. The light blinks for about 30 seconds while it gets ready. After it becomes a solid white, you press the coffee button three times to let it rinse out. When the light becomes solid again, you are good to go! All in all, I love this machine. The coffee is great. I don't have to fiddle with the settings. The very slick futuristic design it has also pleases the eyes. However, as good as it sounds, it still has a few flaws that could be improved. The single button use and the Bluetooth system that requires operating on smart phones may seem a bit complex or overwhelming for non-tech savvy customers. Not only that, but the limited places you can find the pods may become a problem if not resolved soon. The pods are also very expensive. Cost effectiveness is not a strong point. Furthermore, this machine is also lacking in a couple other things, the locking mechanism and the water tank. Though it may not be much of a problem for younger users, the elderly might have a slight difficulty turning the stiff lock. If it was a bit smoother or designed differently, it would be magnificent. The location of the water tank is also a bit inconvenient as it is behind the machine. It may not be a problem for some, but for others and myself, who has the counter top pretty full, it requires a bit of labor as we have to slightly pull the machine out to refill the water. Besides these small complaints, this machine makes great coffee. Each cup of coffee is not cheap. However, with the diverse rich creamy flavors this machine brews, this is everything a coffee lover can ask for.

  Coffee shop coffee at home!

  • Tech Insider Network Member

  I’ve used the mini pod Nespresso before at a hotel and while very good, they tend to brew “small” cups. What I love about this is it makes coffee house grade coffee in full size cups! Pros: Amazing tasting coffee! So far every style pod I’ve tried (coffee and espresso) tastes great Options for both Coffee and Espresso in multiple sizes including full size cup coffee (a must for me!) One touch simplicity – just drop in the style pod you want and it does the rest. It knows the amount of water/brew based on the pod. Fast heating – only takes about 20-25 seconds to heat up Small footprint – fits about anywhere on your counter and likely smaller than anything other coffee maker you are using Modern design – looks good on your countertop No cleanup – it even ejects the used pods into a catch basin in the coffee maker Recyclable pods – even free shipping of the old pods back to Nespresso if you re-order through them Coffee shop coffee without spending $4-$6 dollars! Came with a good sampler to taste lots of the different options Cons: Coffee costs a fair amount more than other at home systems per pod (but tastes better too and much less than a coffee shop, so that offsets things pretty well) Not a lot of places sell the Nespresso Vertuo pods at the moment, so hard to find locally, but obviously available on the internet Overall – small footprint and a great option for great tasting coffee shop coffee in your own kitchen without a any effort or cleanup of a traditional espresso machine.

  Authentic Espressos &Coffee in less than a minute

  If you love espressos but don't like waiting in lines at a coffee shop, than this is the machine for you. (This is my first Nespresso machine. After seeing how good the coffee looks in the commercials, and my dislike for lines. I decided to give them a chance, and so far, I'm glad I did.) Nespresso has done a great job at making an elegant yet space saving machine, that not only produces high quality espressos in under a minute, but also makes all sizes of your favorite coffee beverages. The Vertuo Next Premium is only 5.5 inches wide, which makes this instant coffee machine able to squeeze in between your other counter appliances. At only 12.5 high, it should fit under most cabinets as well, although you might need an additional 5 to 7 inches of height to open the lid to place the capsule/pod inside the unit. The black finish is very smooth, and looks as rich as the coffee tastes. The chrome lined cup holder can be manually placed at 1 of 3 different heights to fit different sized cups for the appropriate brew. It was also a nice touch, to have the used pods automatically eject into a trash reservoir in the machine. The trash reservoir can be completely removed and rinsed as needed. If you subscribe to Nespresso for your coffee orders, all the used pods can be returned at no charge, for recycling to Nespresso. In fact Nespresso is very big on recycling, with utilizing 54% of recycled plastics in the making of each Vertuo Next machine. The brewed espressos and coffees come out in less than a minute every time, and always at the right temperature. Most cups have just enough froth while brewing to still enjoy while drinking. Everything is automatic to the pods you select. The machine can read each pod, and knows the correct ounces of water , pressure and temperature for each one. Nespresso pods are actually a little tough to find locally, and the third party Nespresso pods that they do sell in most stores do not fit this specific Nespresso machine. So the best way to keep a healthy supply of your favorite pods, is to subscribe to Nespresso. The shipping, and recycling is all free, and they include a $10 off coupon in the box for new orders. Plus you do have access to special limited time only blends. Currently Nespresso has about 28 different blends, with beans sourced from over 100,000 different farmers throughout the world. The samples of coffee included in the box will give one a good idea as to what to look for, on future orders. All the included pods had rich flavours and nice aromas. I also like the fact that after you brew a pod, and want an instant top off to your cup, you can simply tap the brew button, to start an extra pour. Then tap the brew button again to stop it. This machine can handle 5 different brew sizes from single espressos 1.35oz to tall glasses of 14ounces. So everyone in the house can literally get what they want, for a morning or anytime brew. Even though I enjoy the smell of my coffee brewing, I do not like lingering scents, like from a traditional coffee pot. I used to hate that half of the house would smell like a burnt coffee pot. Which is why I love these instant coffee machines. Once you are done, simply bag up the used pods, and no smell. I would like to point out that you are supposed to flush the system before your first use, by filling the water reservoir and tapping the brew button 3 times. This cleaning process can be done at any time, and is recommended periodically, or if your system has sat for a long time between uses. Another thing to mention, is that I always use filtered water to fill the machine to reduce lime scale, and prevent anything from altering the intended flavor of the coffee. Overall I think this space saving design is great for a quick and delicious cup of coffee or espressos! With most people moving to delivery for groceries and other essential products, it would make sense to get your coffee delivered too, especially when there are no shipping charges !
