Ive tried lots of coffee machines but I like this one the best, have now use it every day since back in March and its great!!!!!

Love this machine, it gives a fantastic crema on your coffee . Ideal if you love coffee. Like I do. Does three levels of cups so if you want a cappuccino, Lungo or espresso then this machine is for you. It comes with a frother which is easy to use. . I myself like cream in mine . So it’s your choice. Nice looking machine , very contemporary. When you order coffee from nespresso, it’s there the next day. Lots of choice . The machine is easy to clean too

With this machine I can drink many best coffee everyday, even though the machine and the pods are both expensive.

An excellent machine if you are a coffee drinker, produces a nice head of crema, ive had a few but prefer this one, I would recommend if you want to add milk heat the milk first as it is much nicer, you can buy a little hand held frother for about £6.00 which makes it better . Some prices for this machine are silly as far as I'm concerned, this is a good buy.

A bit of a faff to make so I'm back to filter from a jar

coffee at home. excellent.

Got this for my mum as a Christmas present and she loves it.

It's very heavy duty and fairly heavy but the coffee is amazing. Great machine, and automatically makes the amount of coffee needed for the type that you put in! I.e. if you put a pod that's meant to be for an espresso, it will make that amount automatically - just be careful when using the extra large ones... Definitely good for anyone who seriously loves coffee.

I bought this for my husband for christmas. he loves it and very easy to use and looks great. great price on amazon too less than elsewhere and very quick delivery

Great machine. Makes the best pod coffee I've tasted. Sturdy design, heats up in seconds. Recommended.

This was purchased as a gift for my father ( I have the same nespresso brand version of this machine & love it). However - the item was apparently delivered without any documentation/receipt or protective packaging, and turns out that it is defective. As soon as you remove the water reservoir (to fill it up) it just leaks water everywhere - so it has to be returned. But that, apparently, is going to take a long time, which is not good !***boosted to 3 stars for much quicker delivery of replacement machine than was expected !

I'm a lazy guy who doesn't like the effort of making coffee. It's not really that per se - I have occasionally tried the coffee beans offered to me from Vine - but more my taste buds; since I can't taste the subtle flavours in premium coffee, I may as well just stick to instant. It's cheap, easy and makes no difference to me. However, given that I had a chance to try this, I thought I better. For science and me being cheap, mostly.

The pods remove the laziness factor for me; the idea of grinding beans isn't an appealing one to me. Even coffee beans that don't need grinding seem excessively messy. So pods seem like a great, lazy-friendly way to operate. Naturally, they do introduce extra cost, but I think that's fair.

The machine itself is pretty stylish and really easy to use. It takes up some space, of course, but it can sit in the corner.
I haven't used it much beyond trying it for the sake of trying it, as I am one of those "well, I can get 100g of instant for under £1" type of people. I know, bit of a cretin! That said, the pods work out to be just under £1 each when bought in bulk, so I do sometimes indulge in a pack of them.

Overall, I think this kind of machine is great for lazy people who want nice coffee, but without all the work of grinding beans and such. I don't know how it compares to other machines, but if you want to save the hassle of traditional coffee machines and enjoy something more than instant, I'd say give this a go.

Machine ok, I don't like the coffe at all

I am simply in love with my morning coffee now! The welcome pack included with a different size and types of coffees helped me to decide which flavours I like the most. Machine looks very stylish and indeed it’s very simple to use. (But please still read the manual before first use) It’s not making much noise even on the cleaning mode. Arrived quickly and safely packed. Doesn’t take much space which is great and I have ordered separately the milk frother to create perfection! :)

Item arrived broken

BOXED
======
It arrives beautifully packaged. Really beautifully packaged.

RELUCTANT
==========
I've had coffee machines before and am a reluctant Nespresso fan. I've tended to prefer the bean to cup coffee makers so I have to admit that I had a little prejudice against the machine before we started.
However, for the last year I've used a standard Nespresso machine and wondered if this could be better?
I also think it's hard to make a decision on buying a particular Nespresso machine as there are loads of them.

WHAT' S GOOD
============
For me this ticks lots of boxes:
The brand
The design
The small kitchen footprint
Excellent coffee with nice crema
Superb for the larger UK/American coffee drinkers

NOT SO GOOD
============
If you like a small esspresso you're better sticking with an original.

QUICK
=====
It will produce a lovely cup of coffee in less than 20-25 sec.

COFFEE
=======
With the nespresso machine it has everything: the coffee that you can make with the machine is as perfect as you can make in approximately the space of time it takes to make instant coffee.
Taste. I actually think this makes a wonderful cup of coffee.

FOOTPRINT
=========
It actually takes up less room than our kettle.

NOISE
=====
It's not quiet. But it's not that noisy. Fine really.

AS GOOD AS GRIND/ROAST YOUR OWN MACHINES?
==========================================
If you're the type that is used to grinding their own, roasting their own then this is going to disappoint. It's 50 times better than instant but not as good as the grind/espresso machine. That said they take forever to make a coffee.
Overall this is a really good option.

QUALITY
=======
I like the quality of nespresso pods. And this machine makes perfect coffee Every Time.

CAPSULES
========
These are the new type of capsule. They are ideal if you like a larger cup or mug of coffee.
I always find the older type

Coffee only lukewarm. Nespresso advice to switch on machine a few minutes before use and heat up cup with boiling water.

The new Nespresso Vertuo capsule system uses barcoded pods to dispense pre-set quantities of coffee range from espresso to long mug size. The machine is easy to set up and use, and makes fresh coffee with a minimum amount of mess. Fill the water tank, insert the capsule, lock the lid, press a single button and a correctly balanced cup of coffee is dispensed. The machine works very quickly - getting up to temperature from newly switched on within just a few seconds. Once the machine starts working it makes a whirring noise as the capsule spins - this is a little whiny, but not overly intrusive, and within a few seconds a cup of coffee is ready. When next you come to use the machine, you simply unlock and open the lid, and the previously used capsule is automatically ejected into an integrated container.The machine comes with a selection of twelve pods, of different strengths and sizes. These are the three smaller sizes of capsules available from the Nespresso range, and don't include any of the slightly more expensive flavoured coffee pods. Although the pods are recyclable, they need to be returned to Nespresso rather than processed with a regular domestic collection. No recycling returns bag is included with the machine: you can only get this as part of your first Nespresso order (or from a Nespresso boutique). I'm not a big fan of the limited purchasing options available for the new Vertuo pods this machine takes. No compatible pods are available. The pods are only available from Nespresso themselves - via their online store or a Nespresso boutique. For me, there are no physical stores within an hour's drive of my home, so I'm pretty well constrained to online ordering and a 50 capsule minimum purchase (free shipping is not available until 150 capsules). The cheapest of the Vertuo capsules are espresso pods at 37p each (decaffeinated pods are 2p extra), mug sized pods are 50p, and extra long alto pods 60p each. This is inexpensive compared to coffee shop pricing, but quite a lot dearer than other pod systems or
