Nespresso VertuoPlus ENV150GYAE Coffee Machine

 Expensive pods, sometimes takes a minute to recognize a pod but tastes great. I dislike that it takes awhile to recognize an official pod from Nespresso but that said, the taste of the coffee is far superior to the taste of k cups. I have a few recipes I use to make different drinks with this as well.
A full 7.77 oz mixed with a little sugar and ice , blended in a smoothie blender makes a wonderful easy to go iced drink. Add some frothed or unfrothed coffee mate vanilla instead of sugar for an iced drink you won’t soon forget. I have flavors that you can buy that are meant for making flavored jellos – on amazon it’s a pack of maybe 36 flavors or something, all different extracts. Tiny bottles. Add a drop or two to any of these coffees iced or blended w ice for a blueberry or any other fruit flavored iced coffee at home made prices. Maybe a little expensive.
Also be careful because nespresso sends you a welcome kit if you purchase $100 or ten sleeves from them. Original line doesn’t work in these only Vertuo line. Make sure your welcome kit is also Vertuo or you will get pods that don’t work with that kit. However if you call and are polite but firm they will send you the other welcome kit. It’s a little frustrating bc they inundate you with several coupon codes but only allow one to be used so it’s the kit or other things like $$ off your order or maybe another type of free item. And nothing gets auto added even if it looks like it. Nespresso promised a travel
Mug w every order over $100 but it was my first order so I used the code for welcome kit (and may have lost use of my first order
Code that came in the box). I called and asked but they did not honor it however did send the other welcome
Kit and didn’t want me to send the other back. One is glass espresso cups w saucers and the other is glass
Coffee mugs so stuff I don’t need but nice quality and worth getting bc they look good.
Lastly, you can’t buy aftermarket pods bc these pods have a bar code underneath them, however there are methods in which one can empty and refill the pods. Grasseed sells a set up with a little
Silicone stand that I will review. It becomes a chore however to remove the foil tops, empty out pods, clean and dry them, refill them and properly place tops on them. But doing so saves significantly over buying from
Nespresso or buying Nespresso pods on amazon. For sometimes as low As $15 one can get a large bag of Starbucks coffee and grind it at home in small batches to refill pods. I recommend that if you do this, you do it in batches, trading off a little time for a bunch of pods to be ready for the following week or two. It gets old doing this and many of us usually wind up wanting to just find sales and discount codes for Nespresso online where they often have a deal on something or other to keep you up to your neck in pods.

Quality is as good as my old espresso machine that. Made wonderful espresso. And the ease of use makes it easier and faster than making a traditional espresso. Choices of single or double espresso or the 7.77oz full sized coffee that is just a tad bit weaker than espresso but has the same consistency and crema on top. My only complaint is that it is not immediately discernible when purchasing that the machine only accepts Nespresso Vertuo pods and not the original line. An adapter would be great!

I am a coffee drinker and this is a must have product!! The coffee taste amazing!!!!
I swear you’ll have an out of body experience while sipping it lol..
The first machine I received was defective but I was provided with a replacement really quickly.
I also own a Keurig but you can not compare.
Yes the pods are a bit pricey but the coffee taste so good, you won’t regret it!

As someone that needs coffee as soon as they wake up (and cant wake up early enough) the speed and the quality of the coffee is unmatched. Easy to set up, us and low maintenance.

Absolutely love this little machine! Makes the best cups of coffee. No need to spend more money at Starby’s… can make the same thing at home cheaper now. Very happy!
