Nespresso - VertuoLine Evoluo Espresso Maker/Coffeemaker - Gray

This nespresso is a great single serve coffee maker. Also came with sample of 12 variety coffee capsules which was nice. The nespresso makes a great tasting cup of coffee. The crema it makes is like drinking a cup of coffee from a coffee cafe'. Best coffee machine I've owned.

I absolutely love my new coffee maker loves how quick It makes a cappuccino. And the taste is amazing !

My wife and I are coffee fanatics. We have gone from regular coffee drip machines, to keurigs, to doing our own pour overs, to keurig rivo and prior to the nespresso, a automatic pour over machine. This makes coffee in a whole new different way in both taste and texture. The machine takes a short time to complete the process from heating the water to brewing. While the coffee does taste good, the unfortunate part is that there is no timer on this machine and i still rely on my automatic coffee maker to have coffee automatically made in the morning. With the included frother, it is just plain fun to make coffee on this duo, if you don't mind taking a little time to slowly enjoy making a good cup to enjoy! Keep in my mind, you are limited to buying ONLY NESPRESSO CAPSULES specifically to this machine, but it is worth it. So if you do not see yourself spending money on capsules, you have options to use your own grind and recycle one of the used capsules (google this) or stick with a regular coffee maker using a filter.

I hesitated to buy due to cost of the machine & the coffee capsules & the recycling issues surrounding said capsules. I finally succumbed when my 10- year old Breville espresso machine died and I'm so glad I did. The machine fires up in 20 seconds. The Aeroccino frother does its thing in about a minute. Bottom line is you're drinking your coffee or espresso drink of choice very quickly. The coffee/espresso drink is delivered hot. And as for recycling the capsules, I discovered only yesterday that Nespresso offers its own bags for the purpose, and you can return them to the company in these prepaid sacks via UPS. Overall it's a great experience that I highly recommend. More expensive per serving than regular espresso/coffee perhaps. But factor in the relatively low cost of the machine and I think it's a winner, at least for me.

I dont drink coffee but Hubs wanted the Nespresso for xmas so he got it. He tried a cup from a friend at work and was in love with the "awesomest" coffee... no complaints about the machine... being in Hawaii, however, makes it hard to find the pods (in stores) only been able to purchase online... they (some other company) do make replacement "caps" so when you use the pod, empty it and clean it then put your own coffee and seal with the "cap" $ saver :)

I was hesitant to spend so much for a coffee machine, I thought the Keurig was as good as it's going to get for home brewers. I thought wrong. The quality of espresso shots from the pods surpasses that of Starbucks in taste and drink quality. With this type of machine, any buffoon can craft a drink to their taste. I drink cold drinks only and have not had a reason to use the milk frother as of yet. So if you drink hot drinks, read another review to see the functionality of the 'aeroccino' portion. The quality of the machine isn't as solid as you'd like for the price, but it's functional and nothing feels absurdly cheap. The product is marketed to have a very premium feel and it certainly lives up to the hype, especially when interacting with Nespresso.com and consuming a tasty, high quality coffee product.

I'd been looking at the VertuoLine for several weeks before deciding to purchase. Once I tried the first cup I was so glad I purchased this item. It's easy to operate and the finished result produces a smooth tasting espresso or cup of coffee. Some reviews stated that the machine did not make the espresso hot enough, I think this is a matter of personal preference. I found it to be plenty hot enough. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase.

I have had a Keurig coffee machine for years now and it makes a good cup of coffee, no question. I have seen the Nespresso machine at various times and know people who have them and I was always impressed by the quality and superior coffee making techniques the machine possesses. With the Vertuoline, the quality and capabilities of Nespresso improved so much more that I HAD to get one. Most importantly, the coffee is excellent with each pod having a bar-code so the machine can extract the exact amount of coffee from the corresponding pod at the preferred temperature for that coffee. The pod spins as water flows through to extract all the coffee flavor possible and an amazing amount for crema (coffee froth) is automatically extracted during this processes. Add frothed milk and this is as close to a European stile coffee experience as I have had myself in various European Countries. Various flavors, half-decaf and full decaf are available as well as espresso pods... So good I am going for another cup after thinking about it during this review...
