Nespresso VertuoPlus Coffee and Espresso Maker by Breville with Aeroccino Milk Frother, Grey Reviews

This Breville Nespresso VertuoPlus Coffee & Espresso Single-Serve Machine is great. It brews perfect coffee and espresso with just a push of a button. The machine looks sleek and simple and is made of plastic, but I imagine it would cost much more if it was made of steel, etc. The setup nor operation is that complex and you can get to brewing with about 10 minutes, including the initial cleaning program. I do recommend that you read the instructions so that you get a grasp of all the available features. This particular set comes with the machine, milk frother, water container, and an assortment of 12 sample pods in a very attractive package. The pods for this machine are more expensive than K-cups but they are worth it. If you are used to a K-machine, this one is more automated. Once the (large 40 oz) water container is filled, the top opens with just the touch of your finger. Insert the pod, touch the front again to close, and then press the button on the top to begin brewing. The next time that the top is opened, the empty pod is moved back and deposited into a container on the back of the machine. This container holds about 10 empty pods. The pods have a barcode so that the machine can read and brew perfectly according to what you have loaded. It also has the option to choose the size of the brew. The coffee it brews is high quality and has a froth to the top even without using the milk frother. The milk frother is also easy to use – just add milk and plug it in to produce hot creamy milk. The machine does not consume a great deal of counter space and the water container base can be rotated all around so that it can be modified to fit in the space you designate. There is a pod recycle program available, but we have not signed up yet. This is a high quality machine that brews every cup perfectly.

I love this machine! When I'm craving an expresso or just some really good coffee, I will no longer need to drive all the way to a brand name coffee store. Expresso looks nice with my other black/silver/gray kitchen appliances. Set up was quick and simple with easy to follow instructions. Do make sure to use purified drinking water and not tap water as to keep the espresso maker in tip=top condition. Machine came with a sample pack ranging in different pod sizes and flavors. I've tried 5 different pods and they all taste great! The caramel pod was my favorite. Machine is also automated - push upwards on the lid to insert pod and it will automatically open up. You press down and it will automatically close. Brewing will start with a press of the button. Once coffee is done brewing, you just push up again and the pod is released into the back of the machine for disposal when the time comes. The milk frother is also very easy to use and clean. I have only used with the warm setting and it is a quick and easy process. A total recommendation for coffee and expresso drinkers!

I have been looking for a Nespresso machine forever that doesn't break the bank but delivers amazing coffees! The milk frother alone makes the Nespresso Vertuo Expresso Maker worth the buy! Super easy set up with high end coffee-shop coffee beverages. The Nespresso comes almost 100% assembled and was quick to set up at home. I even found an unboxing/how-to-use YouTube video. I really liked the multi-level option for the cup tray so it could fit my latte mugs to my espresso cups. It brews in seconds and the color and smell is delicious. I love that it comes with a 12-capsule tasting pack so I was able to decide what my favorite roasts would be without committing to a full box. Love the easy touch automatic open and closing access. The self removal/storing of the used Nespresso pods is great feature too. The milk frother is super quiet and a quick clean up. I did find that 2% Milk frothed much better than almond milk. The milk froth is delicious!! The power cord is pretty substantial so make sure your counter or shelf space allows. Overall, I would buy this as a gift any day for any espresso roast loving family member or friend!

I don't like coffee. So I'm giving this product to my brother and siser in law . They love coffee very much. I know they will enjoy it. I didn't open it and see how it looks. I just look at the box. I love hot cocoa and milk or cream. I Will recommend this product to everyone who ask for the rest of the week right now and ever.

Breville Nespresso VertuoPlus Coffee & Espresso Single is a stylish, good quality machine. As soon as I took it from the box, I was impressed at the sleek, modern look. I have a white mixer and black blender that sit on my counter so I decided to go with the white color. I am so happy I did. It fits in nicely on the counter when in use and is compact enough to store away on a shelf without too much bulk. The water tank adds a little bulk which is expected for any coffee/espresso machine but I love that the tank sits near the back and to the side keeping the front looking minimal in appearance. Plus, the back of the machine has an empty bin that automatically collects the used pods when done. I have never seen this feature on other machines I've tried. The frother is a nice size, perfect for making just the right about of froth. Right out of the box, I had the machine up and running. Although I have to admit that my young daughter was much quicker at figuring out how to get the first pod in than I was. When opened it's a little exciting in a strange way since it opens in a soft and slow way creating a sense of ease to the process. The Breville came with a box of sample coffee and espresso to try. Honestly, the box is designed in such a beautifully yummy way that I felt like I was opening a box of expensive chocolates. Then when opened, it looked like a box of expensive chocolates to choose from. The pods are in shimmering circular shapes and layed out in straight rows. The lid gives a nice description of the color pod you want to try. Most of the box was coffee with two decaf pods and a row of espresso. I started with the shiny, pearl-like pink pod. My cup of coffee was complete in a matter of seconds. As the coffee exits the spout, it appears creamy. I had never seen coffee come out in that way before and it looked delicious. Once the coffee was complete, it did have a creamy top layer like I had just ordered a ten dollar cup of coffee from some high-end cafe. This was all before I decided to add steamed, frothed milk to the cup. Overall, this is a good looking, fun single-serve coffee/espresso machine. The pods are unique and exciting to try all the different flavors. The machine comes with an easy-to-read foldout to help with re-ordering pods when you're ready to add more unique flavors to your morning routine.

The Breville Nespressp Vertuo Plus Coffee and Expresso Single Serve Machine is a great machine for those who love coffee and variations of coffee. It has a slim design. The height of the machine is only 12 inches. The water attachment can be turned 180 degrees right or left, or directly behind the machine. This option is nice because it lets you set it up according to your space available. I measured the cord to be 31 inches in length. So, it will have to set close to an electric outlet. The base where the coffee cup sits is adjustable. There are four slot heights that can be used. This unit also comes with 12 pods for the machine. It has 8 varying flavors of coffee and 4 expresso. My only concern with the machine is the pods. How expensive and how available are they? Not quite as available as the cups. And, no cappuccino pods. This machine also comes with a milk frother as a separate unit. I really like this. In no time at all, you can take plain milk and it will be whipped up and ready to add to your cup of joe. The container for the frother is not dishwasher safe. It must be washed by hand.

Great machine. It looks intimidating but trust me, it isn't. It's super easy to setup and very easy to use. I let my siblings experiment with it over Thanksgiving and they were blown away! The consensus is that you will never want regular k-cups again or McDonald's coffee again. You know the expression, you get what you pay for? Umm.. yea. That sums this up. Although the pods are more expensive you must compare the cost of them to the cost of Starbucks premium beverage for example. To me, this isn't for the average coffee drinker. This is only for drinkers that have a true love and appreciation for coffee and a beautiful espresso. Get it. The reviews don't lie. It will blow your mind!

So im a coffee lover who drinks about 3 to 4 cups a day. For the past 10 years I've had a Keurig machine in my house and have always enjoyed the machine. But since i have gotten to try out the Nespresso machine im ready to throw out my Keurig. So if you like a dark rich coffee the nespresso is far superior to any pod offered for the Keurig. I normanny get pike place from Starbucks for the Keurig since even though its a medium roast its still very strong flavor. but this nespresso is just amazing. i quickly went threw all my sample pack that i need to get more. while on the website i found that i have a store somewhat near me zo i decided to take a trip there and it was nice too. the store lets you sample the flavor so you know what your buying. the capsules cast approximately 1.10 and up so it is a little more expensive than the kpods but so much better tasting that i think its worth it. the coffee comes out with this thick layer of foam. looks very luxurious. If you have been wanting one dont hesitate get one.

As a long time Keurig user and an even longer coffee drinker, I have always had an interest in what Nespresso has to offer. As my first machine I can definitely say it exceeds my expectations. The fast heat up ensures I'm not waiting around for a few minutes while the machine prepares to brew and the sleek design along with the simple to use, yet versatile controls make every time you use it feel special. The first time I tried a brew of coffee from the machine I was honestly blown away by how rich and flavorful the coffee was. The wide variety of flavors ensure a unique experience inside every capsule and offer a plethora to choose from. The included milk frothier does a fantastic job and is very easy to use. As far as individuals saying the only downside is that the capsules are "hard to find", Nespresso makes it extremely easy to order more capsules from their online store. When you become a member your profile is tailored to your machine and makes the ordering process extremely easy. All in all, I can honestly say that the machine is completely worth it.

This nespresso vertuo machine is really convenient. It seems to be well made and comes with everything to get you started. This particular version also came with the milk frother, which is a completely separate attachment all on it's own. So you can decide whether you want to pull it out and use it or not. This could be both an inconvenience or not, being that you have to use two separate components to make one espresso. The machine is primarily made of plastic which makes it look a little cheap in my opinion, but seems well made nonetheless. The top is motorized, you push the lever and the motor opens up to put your pod in. The assortment they sent along with the machine was a really nice assortment. They're like little beautifully colored space ships. If really was quite pretty. So you add in your pod and the machine reads the pod and knows exactly how much water to dispense. The pods that came with it are coffees and espresso. So they dish out different amounts of water based on the pod. You just push the button on the top and you're good to go. If youd like your espresso a little on the lighter side, feel free to push the button again and it'll go through once more. The pods are not extremely expensive to replace which is great for those that drink a lot. My ONLY gripe about this machine is that they ONLY have pods for espresso and coffee. I understand why and I get the concept. But I really wish it was an all in one machine and that they would make pods for tea and hot chocolate as well. Oh, and you cant interchange pods from previous other models of nespresso machines. ONLY the vertuo pods are acceptable.
