Customer Ratings & Reviews

This espresso maker is a little wonder. It is designed for producing your espresso shot with simplicity in mind. Basically, you have one button and pressing this button will cause the machine to figure out which size nespresso pod you had inserted and it will adjust the amount of water used to match this cup size. When you next open the machine, via a mechanical action the pod will be dropped into a collection bin on the side. That’s it. It is a little heavy which is good since that allows the machine to get the pressure up as needed. Since it is smaller, it is easy for my older hands to handle its weight easily. You will need to ensure the machine ‘internals’ are clean when you first get it. A very well written quick start guide will show you how to do this and also brew your first cup. The guide even has a QR code that will take you to a video to show you the rinsing process. Suffice to say you top off the freshwater canister and push the top (and only) button 3 times. The Nespresso folks even include an 800 number to call for help and a website link in the quick start guide. Tip of the cap to the Nespresso designers for a product that hit my sweet spot for functionality, taste and ease of use. A more complete manual also includes detailed instructions for descaling. This manual has more helpful QR codes for linking to other videos and tutorials. When I popped out to their website I found a super well-designed website with easy navigation to find more info on descaling as well as their other products. You can create an account and order accessories and coffee. This site also explained the various pod colors. This was helpful since my machine came with an assortment of pods of different colored pods and sizes. Another pleasant surprise for me (since I did not previously know of the Nespresso type pods) is that all the grocery stores carried the Nespresso pods – nice. But do take advantage of their site to quickly understand the details on the different types of coffee pods available. Cleaning the machine is a breeze. Don’t forget to empty the pod bin when needed. By the way I like lots of sweetener in my espresso so I put the sweetener in the cup before it is filled with delicious and hot espresso by this great little machine. The crema is likewise perfect. I highly recommend this machine which has me doing about 3 shots daily because it is so tasty and also so super simple to make the hot espresso shots.

I’ve had a similar version of this Nespresso coffee maker on my desk for at work for a while now and have truly appreciated the convenience of being able to make a quick cup of coffee without getting up from work. Now that I’m working from home more it only made sense to have one handy on my desk there to double the use of my Nespresso Vertuo pod collection! The unit is so simple to set up out of the box that anyone can do it. Making a cup of coffee is as simple as making sure the water container is full, grabbing a pod, rotating the latch until the machine opens, popping it in and then rotating back. The first hit of the button should start the warm up process and brewing begins moments later. For someone who hasn’t used Nespresso before you might be asking yourself why it’s necessary. The truth is coffee just tastes better out of these devices as compared to other ‘cup’ machines due to the pressure involved creating an actual crema layer. The coffee is more sophisticated, and the sourcing Nespresso uses for their pods means you can experience coffees from all over the world as well as special seasonal flavors. Whether you want to just pull a shot of espresso to add to a cup of coffee or do something more complex, this unit does a lot for a little. It also looks a bit fancier than it really is with the matte black and gold trim items, making it perfect for an upscale kitchen or executive’s office. All in all a great buy, especially if you live in a city with a Nespresso store where you can buy pods directly - though shipping is fast and easy as well.

The Nepresso Machine is makes coffee, expressos, and lattes with a push of a button. You insert the pod into the slot. Be sure to fill the water up in the tank. When pressing the button. Be sure to lock the nepresso and put in the locked position and only press the coffee button once and wait for it to brew. This was the mistake that I made in the beginning and had to reset the machine. I originally thought I had to press it twice. If you happen to press the button more than once. Don't worry, there is an option to reset the machine. Please contact the company for additional information. What I like was the variety of coffees that I was able to try. My upmost favorite was the Ethiopian coffee. It tasted crisp and clean. I did try a few expressos and that were good as well. The nepresso machines brews the coffee based upon the type of coffee that is brewed and can go from 1.7 ounces and up to 5.7 ounches approximately. I like that when you are finished with the coffee pod and press the release handle, it automatically drops down into a little compartment, that it stores the pods in. This is great for waste and recycling purposes, if you like to recycle your coffee pods. Cleaning the machine is very easy. Less messy than regular coffee machines. Overall I like this product. Customer service was also great and easy to access.
