Nespresso Vertuo Coffee and Espresso Machine by De'Longhi,54 oz, Titan,Gray

Not only does it make great espresso and regular coffee, it is by far the easiest and quickest espresso maker I have ever used. It reads the barcodes on the pods specifically made for the machine to determine how much water and timing is needed for each type of coffe and pod. Including heating time, it only takes 30 seconds to deliver an espresso with the push of one button. I usually make doubles so it might take closer to a minute for me. What’s great is there is no mess and it even ejects the used pods into a removable container built into the right side of the machine. The machine comes with 8 samples of coffee pods and 4 samples of espresso pods if you want to try the blends before buying a large number of them. I have found that the strongest coffee and espresso pods are the best.. The pods are rather pricey, but I think they are well worth it given the quality of output and convenience. There are costlier models of the same machine that include milk frothers and/cups etc.. However, I have found that a small battery power whisk type frother is better and is much easier to clean.

Build quality, ease of use, variety of coffee, delicious coffees

I've had it for a couple of months and I can say it makes amazing coffee!

This machine is a marvel. It works very quickly—unlike some of its Nespresso predecessors. The used pods automatically toss themselves into a built-in container. One caveat on the whole thing is the cost of the pods. They are far larger than the earlier ones, cost quite a lot and take up considerable space in my small kitchen. Nonetheless I love the machine and its bulky pods. The espresso has beautiful creama and tastes wonderful. I am less enthusiastic about the regular coffee.

The search for great coffee at home is FINALLY OVER! During a recent resort vacation trip, we enjoyed coffee in our room, courtesy of a Nespresso Original coffee maker. The coffee we enjoyed(I prefer strong, flavorful coffee) was so much better than the coffee we have at home from the typical drip coffee maker. After returning home from the trip, I decided it was time to do some research on Nespresso coffee machines, and selected theVertuoLine Evoluo. TOTALLY happy with this machine! It's much quieter than the Original version machine at the resort, the coffee is served hot, and I'm really enjoying the many varieties available from Nespresso, although my favorite so far is Intenso. It looks great on our counter, and the design is classy, with the water reservoir on one side, and the storage container on the other where used coffee pods are ejected. Nespresso even offers free of charge a bag to return used pods so they can be recycled. How cool it that... To get great coffee in the past, I would stop by the Starbuck's on the way to the office. Now I usually drive by, while enjoying my Nespresso ALTO in my Yeti coffee mug!
