There are only two serving size settings, but you can hold your finger down on the button to keep it going. I bought it because of it's small size. Long & narrow. 5 stars for that. Instead of a round water canister at the back, I'd have gone with square and shortened the depth of the machine as it is fairly deep and sticks out further than any of my other kitchen counter gadgets. Square would also hold more water if the kept the same depth. Round I suppose is prettier though.
Overall, I highly recommend the machine. A minor grips is that when the coffee is done and the pod released, 1/2 teaspoon of water pours out of the spout.

After owning and using the Keurig for many years, decided to get in on the Nespresso coffee flavors. Had a hard time choosing between this model and the Vertuo, but decided to try the original lines first. It is great for an entry level machine. it is compact and easy to use. There are a wide selections fort the pods, and the quality of their coffees are really nice.

I bought this machine as an upgrade to my Mr. Coffee espresso maker. I liked the size and the fact that the Nespresso comes with a separate frother. I did some research before I purchased the machine because I saw that it required the use of pods, but I like the espresso I had been using. I was able to find metal refillable capsules, so I can use my espresso and not have to purchase any of the nespresso pods.

I have been using this consistently for 5 months now and it has been great. I honestly can’t imagine how I went so long without one. This machine has been super reliable and I love how compact it is. I am able to fit it on a tray, along with the steamer and some other accessories, so it doesn’t have a huge footprint on my counter. It warms up fairly quickly and is easy to clean. I knocked off 1 star for the aeroccino- it doesn’t consistently work and I’ve had some spills to clean up due to overflowing (even with keeping the milk below the max fill line).

It’s compact. It’s convenient and it’s fairly cheap compared to buying espresso outside. The espresso shots come out quick and are delicious for pods. The aeroccino whips up lattes in a minute. Works with all third party nespresso pods. Howeve, the frother did not heat up milk or maybe I received a defective unit and also the max cup size is 3.4 oz. if you like bigger sizes and the ability to brew coffee and espresso pods look at the Vertuo line or other ones that brew large sizes.

Fast and great tasting espesso drinks. I usually get peets coffee pods as they are cheaper than nespresso capsules and the taste is as good if not better. The best thing about this powerful little machine is that it barely takes up counter space.

We got one for home and one for office.
We are in love with it. Easy, functional, efficient and elegant. Makes the perfect cup of latte. It’s actually very affordable considering the savings from everyday latte!
Exceeds my expectations.
I do recommend with a full heart.

The device itself was really affordable since I got it on sale. This makes great latte (comparable to coffee shops). The pods though can be pricey but will still save you money compared to getting your coffee fix at a coffee shop.

Simple, yet gets the job done. I get coffee shop quality coffee at home for way less. Best investment I’ve made this year! It looks so sleek and minimalistic too. Also got the bundle at a great price. I’m very happy with my purchase. Would definitely recommend!

Purchased one finally after looking for months, so happy I made the purchase. Super easy to set up and use, great coffee within minutes. Only caveat is that it is louder, but not as loud as a coffee grinder.

I’m glad I bought this. If you like espresso based drinks. Get this! Get the milk frother too! You don’t need the fancy expensive machines to get a good espresso (unless you don’t mind spending more money!) But this little machine is great. I’ve only had it a month but based on other reviews, it seems pretty reliable and will last. It comes with samples so you can try out some pods. Spoiler the pods are delicious. My drinks always come out super creamy and smooth. I recommend buying your pods from the nespresso website. They always have sales and cool deals. Overall, best machine i've ever owned. I owned a Keurig and the coffee was always just..okay. But after having this machine I see why people really love their coffee. I look forward to my coffee every morning!

This is great for a small space! My husband loves his espresso and we're saving money and time now that he makes it at home. The machine is easy to use. The sample pack that came with it is great for learning what type you like.

I have been thinking about buying one of these but was not sure I would use it (I have a regular coffee maker and a keurig). After having had this for a couple of weeks and using it at least daily, I will be getting rid of my Keurig as I prefer this. Can be a bit more expensive than the keurig per cup but making Lattes is so easy and the taste so good if you get the right coffee. I suggest getting a variety, keeping track of what you like and don't like, then order more of what you do. I really like the Voluto (decaf). The frother that comes with it is nice but too small if you want more than one cup. Getting the water bottle to sit correctly can be an issue at times if you have to reach over it to seat it. would be tempted to buy a slightly larger one to fit larger glasses.

This is my new favorite appliance. It’s basic, but makes excellent espresso and has a very small footprint. That’s all I need.
