Nespresso Vertuo Coffee and Espresso Machine by De'Longhi, 1597 milliliters, Silver

It was delivered to a UK address but had a USA plug & USA voltage.

Machine arrived bought as a Christmas present for my son and his fiancée Saved for the day and when opened found out it was a US plug so couldn’t use without an adapter. This should have been identified

Gift arrived without the promised Welcome Kit.

The Nespresso Vertuo by De’Longhi does exactly what it promises. Drop in a pod, press a button, and you get solid coffee or espresso every time. Flavor is consistent, crema is good, and it’s fast. No tinkering, no learning curve. If you want dependable coffee without playing barista, this machine gets it done.

This coffee machine is fantastic. It's easy to use, and makes a great cup of coffee. I stayed away from the Nespresso machines for a long time due to the high price, and espresso only options. It wasn't until the Vertuoline, that I became interested again because with this line you get coffee options as well. Man am I glad I did. The pods are a tad pricey, but it is totally worth it. The cream, the flavor, the goodness. LOL. In all seriousness, this is my 3rd "pod" type machine. I have had a Starbucks Verismo and multiple Keurig machines. The Verismo was good, however, Starbucks seemed to launch the machine with zeal, then let it die a slow death. No new machine in years, and seemed to no longer display and sell them. I was told they weren't going to keep making them. So back to Kuerig I went. The pods are better priced, but no matter the coffee type, it always seemed to be either an inconsistent cup of coffee or a weak cup, even with espresso roasted coffee pods. Then comes the hero of our story. The Nespresso Vurtuo line of makers. I have to say, I was skeptical, and not expecting a lot from another pod machine. I was wrong. It is enjoyable, and an extremely satisfying cup of coffee, and espresso as well. *A word about the broken machines in Reviews* All the negative reviews seem to be about build/ship quality in regards to the water tank. Mine was perfect on arrival and no cracks etc. I think that the problem is the design. Most people are used to "pulling" tasks up and off. This one is more of tilt off then up motion. So I think it might be easy to damage un-intentionally. I also think its a good idea to watch the Nespresso YouTube Channel about your specific machine. Its very well put together and informative.

Highly recommended but don’t expect this to last forever. I bought my first one less than two years ago and it produces great coffee. Yes, it does use the vertuo pods and they are more expensive than ground coffee machines. But it’s cheaper than Starbucks and some pods taste better. As my first machine machine neared it’s two year mark, the machine got very loud (think jet engine loud), and the turn-to-open pod dispenser knob slowly stopped working. So I needed to find a replacement. After reading reviews of the newer units, I decided to buy this older model again. The push button style seemed problematic with some dying after a few months. The newer turn to open models seemed better but some had problems. Not sure if it’s inferior parts, poor quality or something due to supply chain issues So I went back to the original. And love it. It’s quiet, the knob turns easily, and I swear it produces a little more coffee than my last one. I’ll probably have to buy another one in two years, but I’m okay with that

I purchased the refurbished model of this machine, but the water reservoir arrived cracked and leaked water everywhere. Amazon issued me a partial refund to cover the cost of purchasing a replacement reservoir, which they don’t sell on their platform. I had to buy an OEM part from a third-party seller in Italy through eBay. Additionally, the product came with the wrong instruction manual. I had to download the correct PDF manual from the Nespresso website. Despite these issues, I was able to use JB Weld epoxy to seal the crack and significantly reduce the leak rate, allowing me to use the machine while waiting for the OEM part to arrive. Once I fixed the leak, I ran three rinse cycles and a full descaling cycle. Based on how clear the water was after rinsing and descaling, I was able to assess that the internal components were clean and functioning properly, despite the machine being refurbished. I’m usually a fan of buying refurbished products from Amazon, as their quality control is generally good. However, this was by far the worst experience I’ve had with a refurbished product from Amazon. At least the machine works and wasn’t a complete dud.

It's great, but the cup wants to vibrate off each time I make a cup, had to rig the tray to be on a slant. Also thought it had water capacity on each side but one side holds the old pods. Probably would have noticed into he description if I read it closer.
