Nespresso (ENV150RAE) VertuoPlus Coffee and Espresso Maker Bundle with Aeroccino Milk Frother by De'Longhi Reviews

I absolutely love this coffee maker. The unboxing and assembly was straightforward. It even comes 3 boxes of sample capsules!!! First the coffee machine. Once it is set up, the instructions are pretty easy to follow as long as you can make up your mind on which capsule to start with :). The fun also does not stop there, please be sure to use a transparent cup so you can actual see your picture ready coffee being made. Due to the high pressure system, the coffee actually comes out with a layer of coffer foam on top, which is pretty amazing just to look at. In my opinion, the coffee also tasted better than the coffee made by the traditional drip coffee maker. Then there is the milk frother. I have used a generic milk frother before but I can definitely say now that you can what you pay for. This frother is much better and does not burn milk with continuous use. It comes with hot and cold settings and also have two froth settings. I used the highest froth setting and the foam was very consistent and can withstand the pouring process to the coffee itself. With three more pumps of caramel, I had a custom made caramel machiato which was so much better than the one by the major chain store. And I didn't even have to get out of the door for this. My only request for improvement is cleaning of parts. While I do understand that the milk froth can't be put in the dishwasher due to its electrical components. However, I was also not able to find in the manual whether or not the water tank and frother attachments are dishwasher safety. So to be on the safe side, I am cleaning the by hand which is not preferred. But this does by no means reduce my affection towards the coffeemaker and the coffee it makes, just my frequency of use.

Nespresso VertuoPlus Coffee and Espresso Maker Bundle with Aeroccino Milk Frother by De'Longhi, Red selected through the Wal Mart Spark Reviewer Program in exchange for my honest opinion. Setting up this item without reading the instructions can cause somethings not to work properly. For some reason, the light on my machine kept flashing orange. I was unable to open the compartment where you place the little capsules by pushing down like instructed. After finally reading the instructions, and multiple other pages, I was able to turn the machine off. Once off, I turned the machine back on and the light finally turned green. After the green light was on, I was able to open the compartment where the capsules go. This thing leaks water like crazy. I do not believe mine leaks as bad as the other reviews I have read but it does leak some water so that's something one should not be surprised if they research prior to purchase. In addition, there is a capsule tray that the capsule slides into once you lift the compartment where the capsules go. I think this is cool. The tray you sit your coffee cup on is adjustable which is a plus.

This coffee system (the machine and pods) makes great coffees, espressos, lattes and cappuccinos that taste just like the big store coffee places. The major difference is that those franchise coffee restaurants charge so much money per cup and I end up saving quite a bit of money by making these coffee drinks at home myself. Yes, there is an initial investment of the pods, which depending on where you buy them and the pod count, could run you easily a minimum of $50. On the Nespresso website a single pod averages $1, and an assortment pack are about the same and more. There is lots of room for you to control the costs and I enjoy the ability to buy specific flavors and at my choice of quantities on the Nespresso website, versus buying an assortment and not using half of them because I don't like the flavor as much (waste of money). This machine is not Keurig compatible, which means K-Cups do not work for this machine. This machine takes specific pods designed for this machine. These pods are called Vertuo not Original. This machine also makes espresso shots (1.35 oz), double espresso shots (2.7 oz), a “Gran Lungo” (5 oz), what I call a regular cup size (7.77 oz), and a tall cup aka “Alto XL” (14 oz). The machine “reads” the pod and automatically knows how much to pour in your cup. Because this coffee makes its own foam it's cool to enjoy the coffee in a clear coffee glass. After all, enjoying a flavorful cup of coffee is as much of a visual experience as it is taste. The Aeroccino Milk Frother is amazing! It froths cow's milk, soymilk, and almond milk. It didn't froth heavy whipping cream and I don't think it frothed flavored creamer either. It has two settings for the milk based on the little “whipper” inside the Aeroccino which yields more or less milk with froth when making the custom coffees (think latte versus cappuccino). It has a cold or hot froth option. I always used the hot milk froth option and it added to the flavor profile of the coffee nicely. This machine was also very easy to use and has lots of cool aspects to it. One of them is that it is self-emptying. There is a compartment in the back of the machine where the pods are automatically dropped whenever you open it to put in a fresh pod. This is super cool and convenient for when you're entertaining. I know that Keurig just came out with something very similar, even with a frother, but it's a single serve machine. This machine is not a single serve and is a great way to end a night of entertaining or just winding down for the night. This is going to be a hit this holiday season and I look forward to making café mocha drinks with the frothed milk and adding cool frothed milk to hot cocoa for the kids!

The Nespresso VertuoPlus Coffee and Espresso maker is an easy to use machine to make your own espresso at home. The instructions are easy to follow, and one of the features that stood out to me was the used capsule container. Once a capsule is used, the machine lifts it up and disposes of it into a container that is in the back of the machine. Even though this seems like a relatively simple feature, I find it to be pretty useful when you are brewing multiple cups of espresso. The milk frother works great, and adds the prefect touch to my cup of espresso. All in all, I am in love with how easy and quick this machine makes a cup a delicious cup of espresso. I highly recommend this product.

“Time for a coffee?” This seems to be the new thing in our house. The Nespresso VertuoPlus Coffee and Espresso Maker Bundle with Aeroccino Milk Frother by De'Longhi has now become our favorite coffee machine. I'm sorry to say, after a few years with the “K” brand, the Nespresso took us by surprise and won our hearts. For some unknown reason, I felt that the Nespresso brewed better coffee than the “K” brand. If you look back in the old days when we used to make coffee, we ground the coffee beans and “cook” it in our coffee pot. The grounded beans in the coffee pot percolate as it brews the coffee to a fine taste. Delonghi's Nespresso VertuoPlus Coffee maker reminds me of those days – the process of grounded coffee was transformed into something pure and magical. The taste of the coffee you get from Delonghi's Nespresso VertuoPlus Coffee maker is definitely extraordinary. The coffee is full bodied and the aroma – the smell of the coffee as you sip is absolutely fantastic. There are so many times that you would always go for a second cup of coffee. Delonghi's Nespresso VertuoPlus Coffee Maker has always been the topic when friends and family come over. This is a machine that you can be proud of. One of the things that we noticed is that De'Longhi's Nespresso VertuoPlus uses pods or capsules instead of the K-cups. We obviously compared this to the “K” brand. I'm not exactly sure if there is a significant difference in quantity, quality, or convenience using pods. However, Delonghi's Nespresso VertuoPlus Coffee Maker automatically ejects the used coffee pods when done brewing – the machine itself disposes of the coffee pods for you so you do not have to worry about leaving leftover pods. I really like this feature and I believe this is a good courtesy for the next person to use the machine. The Nespresso VertuoPlus Coffee and Espresso Maker Bundle with Aeroccino Milk Frother by De'Longhi also offers three cup sizes for your convenience. So there is always a good time to enjoy a great cup of coffee at home or on the go. Delonghi's Nespresso VertuoPlus Coffee Maker comes with an easy-to-read instruction manual to properly care for your Nespresso machine. Nespresso's instruction manual is full of information and illustration so you do not have to worry or second guess what to do. All information about your coffee machine and other questions can be found in the instruction manual or at their website: Nespresso.com. We had the Nespresso VertuoPlus Coffee and Espresso Maker Bundle with Aeroccino Milk Frother by De'Longhi for quite some time but to be honest, we have not used the Aeroccino Milk Frother because we prefer our coffee straight and simple. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who prefer to have a fancier coffee drink but not for us. We love our brewed coffee the way it is. Finally, when you purchase the Nespresso VertuoPlus Coffee and Espresso Maker Bundle with Aeroccino Milk Frother by De'Longhi it comes with 12 free pods/capsules to get you started. I believe every single one of those pods (flavors) will be an exciting tasting experience. My only concern for everybody is how easily available the Nespresso pods/capsules in all grocery stores. With the popularity of the K-cup and readily available, I do not know how convenient it is to find the Nespresso pods/capsules. So far, the place I shop offered these Nespresso pods/capsules. Overall, we really love our Nespresso VertuoPlus Coffee and Espresso Maker Bundle with Aeroccino Milk Frother by De'Longhi. I believe this is the best coffee maker available for home use. I know that every time I brew coffee from Delonghi's Nespresso VertuoPlus Coffee Maker I will always get a great cup of coffee. I always brew one on the go every day. I take it to work and start my day right. I highly recommend the Nespresso VertuoPlus Coffee and Espresso Maker Bundle with Aeroccino Milk Frother by De'Longhi because this is the absolutely the best coffee maker you will ever own. Try it for yourself and you will definitely see the difference.

I am in Heaven! This is truly love at first sip. If I didn't have this already, this would be first on my list for every occasion, you just ca not go wrong with this machine. Once you have this coffee machine, you just will never be able to go back to anything else ever again. Coffee in the morning has never been easier. It is one touch, smooth operation and pure bliss. The coffee is amazing! When I say amazing, I mean better than the best barista coffee house there is, custom made, purely, indulgently amazing. The Aeroccino is a game changer. It is the best thing, well, since the Keurig cups, but 100% better. I can make the best matcha tea, within a minute, from pouring the milk into the aeroccino and stirring in the matcha. This machine is fast, efficient and perfect. This aeroccino has its own set of technology that I do not understand but in just a few seconds my milk is frothy and hot. Do no overdo the milk in the frother, it doubles in size and if you are not careful, it will over flow. Also, this machine needs TLC when cleaning the aeroccino because you cannot get the bottom mechanism wet. It is a simple rinse and sponge clan then I set it upside down to dry. I am truly in love with my Nespresso and Aeroccino, I can never have regular coffee again.

I have to say that i am really impressed with this DeLonghi Nespresso VertuoPlus Coffee & Espresso Single-Serve Machine. Aside from the fact that the coffee itself taste awesome, the milk frother does wonders. I tried this with my Silk almond milk and was amazed by how much it foamed. Now, another plus for me was that it came with 3 packs of coffee capsules. With 12 capsules in a pack i got a total of 36 capsules. I think it only suppose to come with 12 though.ni have had it for a week now and my husband and ai tried it everyday. We really do love the taste of the coffee, it is really rich with a strong taste. We saw some reviews about leakage and we are pleased to say that we have none, but we doe try to put exactly 30 ounces and not a drop more, because the container can hold about 32 to 34 ounces but only 30 is recommended. I woukd definitely recommend this product to coffee lovers....... just let it full you thermos or mug and you are good to go.

The Nespresso Vertuo Plus Coffee and Espresso Maker with Aeroccino by De'Longhi is one AMAZING bundle. Not only is it sleek and space saving, but it is so easy and intuitive to use. There is no trying to figure out which button to choose....there is only one. Push the button, it reads the bar code on the capsule, and presto you have the perfect cup of coffee or espresso. The Nespresso Vertuo uses a cylinder water tank that can rotate position to sit on either side of the machine or in the back. I LOVE this dispenser because it is so easy to remove and fill with water. It is easy to grip and easy to remove. It holds about 37 oz of water. This machine also comes with an adjustable cup support to hold whatever size cup you are using. You definitely need to raise the cup for smaller brews to keep the coffee in the cup>:). It has a reservoir for over flow that is easy to remove to clean. I absolutely love the capsule container on the back. When you lift up the top of the Nespresso Vertuo Plus Coffee and Espresso Maker with Aeroccino by De'Longhi after use, it ejects the spent capsule into a container on the back side of the machine. The container holds about 10 capsules depending on the size. This is great if you recycle the capsules as it keeps them all together!:) It is also very cool to watch.lol The Vertuo system uses a centrifusion technology that "controls the flow and volume of water, temperature, infusion time and capsule rotation". This is all determined by the specific capsule you put in the machine. You end up with a great coffee with a fluffy "crema" at the top. The bundle comes with a variety of capsules to try out. You can choose from espresso, double espresso, gran lungo, coffee, and alto. Once you find your preference you can order the capsules from Nespresso or other online sources. I absolutely love the Aeroccino. You can froth up milk for a warm or cold topping for your drink. It is so silky smooth. I like using it for my hot chocolate, also!:) This is not a plain black coffee kind of machine. This is a Cadillac. This is an experience. This is WOW!

Pros: - I love the coffee, it's so good - I like the Milk Frother, you can choose either cold or hot - I like the easy Open/Close Pod Compartment Button Cons: - Warning: The Milk Frother Bottle isn't a regular bottle but has electric components in it so can't be easily cleaned, I almost wanted to put it in the dishwasher to clean it before the first use and almost destroyed it - Water Tank seem wobbly and might easily fall off when touched inadvertently - Power Cable a little bit short - Be sure to have a big cup during the cleaning process otherwise it will spill hot water - Has only one On/Off button for everything so you better read, memorize and keep the user guide. If you press the wrong way, it will result in doing something else like you want to turn it off but it will pour more coffee instead which happened to me and it poured hot coffee on my hand. They could have put a sticker for instructions Overall, it's kind of very complex for making simple coffee but worth it if you like such kind of coffee

This is a beautiful highly functional, yet simple to operate, machine. After setting up, I cleaned the unit for first time use, per the instructions. Selected & inserted one of the included Nespresso pods (includes a set of 12) started it up and watched it make the prettiest cup of coffee I've ever seen made at home. The pods have a bar code that reads it's intended time and water amount, to brew the perfect topped off cup, before adding the optional froth made by the included frothing machine. I have multiple machines, but THIS ONE is the one I want and have displayed on my counter top for daily use. It has easy to understand lights and pictures to indicate when it's ready and or minimum and maximum liquid limits, on machine as well as the frother. It's a bit loud during it's cleaning & pod spinning operations, but it's brief and alright with me. OH... There is even a function called, "descaling" which lets you know it's time to clean your system from excess buildup, between uses. Read up on the instruction manual, it'll tell ya all about it. LOVE IT!
