NespressoXN903840 Vertuo Plus, Coffee Machine, Krups, pod, Plastic, 1260 W, 1.2 liters, Black

Good

I'm a big fan of this machine.I managed to pick one up on an early Black Friday deal at £57.99. The machine itself came with 12 free pods, you can then register the machine with Nespresso for the warranty and pick up an extra 100 pods for free. If you then sign up with Nespresso's subscription service you get the first month free and can get another 50 or so pods for free. In my case that's the machine, delivery and 162 free pods for £57.99. Not too shabby at all.I'm not a coffee connoisseur, I'm well aware that this isn't the 'best' or 'artisan' coffee but as someone who bought this machine to replace a 8 year old drip filter machine with a mesh basket (usually filled with whatever pre-ground coffee is cheapest) it's absolutely perfect. The pods are expensive, there's no two ways about that. There are alternatives, you can buy reusable pods from Amazon that you fill yourself but that takes the convenience aspect of this machine away for me. My Mum actually uses a coffee bag crammed into an old Vertuo pod that she saved and that also works perfectly fine.If you're like me, somebody that wants nothing more complicated than reaching for a pod and pressing a button first thing in the morning, and enjoys espresso as well as longer drinks I can heartily recommend this machine.If you're a coffee connoisseur or somebody that appreciates the nuances of different roasts and flavour profiles steer well clear.Nestle own Nespresso and they have some pretty shady business practices also, keep that in mind when weighing this up.

I really like this machine. The coffee it produces is delicious and feels like something you'd get at Starbucks. Definitely a cut above regularly brewed coffee. I don't know much coffee lingo it's frothy and bubbly. Really like the texture of this coffee. I would recommend ordering your pods off the Nespresso website instead of Amazon. The pods on Amazon seem overpriced and there's less selection. I even ordered pods that I thought worked with the machine, but they're the wrong size. On the Nespresso website, there is an awesome selection of pods and flavours. And they actually delivered quickly, within two days. The only small complaint I have is the coffee doesn't always come out hot enough, especially after adding milk. I don't think the water comes to a complete boil. Sometimes I pop it in the microwave for 10 seconds. Other times the temperature seems fine, like able to drink immediately but not necessarily as hot as it would be if you boiled water. Anyways, really happy with this purchase and the ease of use. I definitely recommend.

Makes great coffee. Nespresso do a load of different varieties including iced coffee. The milk frother does hot and cold. Machine is easy to clean

My star rating is because Nespresso do not provide a milk pod to add to coffees. I have finally found a level of coffee for my taste ( medium) after a lot of experimenting I have to add that this is all new to me and it may be far easier for the younger generation.

I have one of these in Dubai from the Nespresso shop and got this similar one for the UK. Both work great but got this UK one on Prime Day for 1/3 the price.

When I received my vertuo plus machine I noticed it was used even though it was in a nespresso vertuo plus box as it had watermarks on the inside of the machine.

So easy to use. Personally, not downloaded the app, as it's so easy to use why bother?Coffee pods are expensive so for me, it's a weekend only treat, but who doesn't need a little luxury in their life?
