Nespresso VertuoPlus BNV420BL Espresso Machine

I love the Nespresso coffee machine and was enjoying the milk frother until it stopped working. I don’t know if I got a faulty milk frother.

Bought for my detached office. Nice esspresso maker. Can make single shot, double shot, esspressos and regular coffee. Easy to use. I dropped my water container tai at and had to buy another off of eBay (expensive).

I did a lot of research prior to buying…months of research. I will start with saying it is hot enough…I am very picky about temperature, so maybe other people arent drinking it right away or are using a mug that it cools down too fast or arent using the milk frother with it. But temperature is perfect. I also love how quiet it is, dont have to worry about waking anyone up. The flavor is amazing…even husband approved (after he threw fit about spending this much money) I love that I dont have to wait for entire coffee pot to brew before I can enjoy my espresso or coffee and no more wasting leftover coffee. I love the fact that it takes up such little space especially if you swivel the water cartridge directly behind it. I have not experienced any leaking but has been less than 24 hours. The frother machine makes the milk creamy and perfect with right amount of froth, better than my cheap frother which takes way longer and bot as creamy. I will say the couple of negatives is i bought a “new” machine but it did seem the box had opened before which did disappoint. Also the app does not have a search function nor does the nespresso website so you have to scroll until you find the pods you are looking for. They dont carry the ristretto pods nor hot chocolate and some other good ones that the original line carry (just a disappointment for my husband and daughter)

I vowed I’d never ever have a pod coffeemaker because of it’s wastefulness. My son introduced me to his Nespresso coffeemaker when I was visiting him. The coffee was exceptional, but again, it was a pod maker and I wanted nothing to do with it. He showed me how the aluminum pods are returned to Nespresso with the used coffee in them. Then the pods are recycled into new products, such as a potato peeler and other wonderful items. The coffee is then composted and returned to the earth. Still, I wanted nothing to do with a pod coffeemaker, but I loved the coffee / espresso that evolved from it. Once back home, I kept remembering the flavor of the the coffee. I also realized I had purchased many coffeemakers recently in an attempt to restrict my consumption to no more than two cups per day due to gastrological problems. The coffeemakers just weren’t the same, nor was the coffee they produced. Well, I finally gave in and am eating my words because I ordered this unit when it was on sale, and I am in heaven! My other coffeemakers have been carefully stored away. It takes up very little space on my counter and it is attractive. The process of making an exceptional cup of espresso with perfect crema takes no more than a few brief minutes, and the kitchen smells so good – just like a bistro. I am so thrilled with this! I had read that very strong coffee does not cause as much heartburn as weaker coffee. Well, that is truth because I have not had any issues with heartburn after drinking this coffee ever since I bought it. And, it is fun choosing the different types of brews. I just sent a large bag of used pods back to Nespresso. By the way, it is no cost to you to do so. Simply drop the filled bag off at a UPS store or facility. I am now a devoted Nespresso user! Regular coffee doesn’t hold a candle to this stuff!!!
