Quit working after a little over a month. Nespresso fixed it and provided a loaner while they did. I feel they should have replaced the unit because now, it doesn't brew coffee as hot as it did when it was new.

I've been using this for a couple of months now and absolutely love it. It's easy to use and the coffee is very, very good. I can make regular coffee or espresso and they are all excellent. The coffee is worth the price. I've never liked coffee without milk or cream, but this coffee is so good that I like it without adding anything. There are a lot of complaints about the water tank leaking, but my machine has never leaked. The aeroccino machine is also easy to use and makes great foam for an espresso. Another plus is they recycle the coffee pods. I highly recommend this machine.

The coffee tastes good, but it comes out with a huge beer-like head on it. The milk frother does the same thing, so all in all, you get a lot of foam on top of your coffee.

Pros: quick, easy and tastes good (if you don't mind the head). Has two sizes - "coffee" and "espresso".

Cons: frothy, expensive for home-brew, not especially hot, unless you use the warm milk.

We have the older "classic" Nespresso at work and it's not as luxurious as this one and I must admit, the coffee doesn't tasty as good. But this one really does overdo the frothy head thing. It's almost too much sometimes. You can use a teaspoon to mix the head down somewhat.

Just a week prior to this purchase I bought the original espresso only nespresso not realizing there was a version that brewed coffee. I quickly returned that purchase and bought the vertuoline.

There are two versions / manufacturers of the nespresso vertuoline--- 1) DeLonghi (this one) and 2) Breville. I chose the DeLonghi version exclusively for the swivel water tank feature. Aside from this functional difference they appear to be identical aside from design appearance. I'm really glad I went with this one as it really comes in handy having the tank on same side as sink. I've even moved the machine to opposite side and swiveled the tank to accommodate it.

Its important to note that this machine uses vertuoline size round pods ONLY. You cannot view the small espresso capsules. There is a line of espresso capsules that fit this machine however the selection is more limited than the original Nespresso line (it is however growing).

Before purchasing I read many reviews which mention a problem with the water temp being too cool. This comes down to preference- I would say this pumps out sufficiently hot coffee for my liking. I noticed the second consecutive cup brews a bit warmer than the first cup (maybe the machine warms up). Nespresso told us that you can prime the machine by brewing a cup of plain water first-- this hasn't been necessary -- my hubby prefers his coffee extra hot so I always brew my cup first and his second. He's had no complaints and doesn't need to microwave it for additional heat.

The frother is also great- Try using low fat or no fat milk for the best front. I tried half and half and it doesn't foam near as well. I wish the container had a lip to pour from but that's my only feedback.

I seen a Nespresso demo years ago at Target and I wish I had taken the leap sooner. In the bay area I had a daily Philz coffee 4$ day habit and I haven't been once since this purchase. My favorite capsule is the Giornio. Add a splash of heavy whipping cream for perfection. Brews with a beautiful foam on top. Perfection!

This is my first Nespresso Vertuoline machine and I love it. I got it on sale for $113 on Black Friday with the milk frother.

Let's start with the ease of use of this espresso machine. You press the top coffee button and the machine warms up, the green light becomes steady and it's ready to brew. Put in your favorite capsule and close the top lid and press the coffee button. Did I mention the motorized capsule lid? The lid opens and closes itself with a touch of the lever and disposes the capsules into its bin on the back of the machine.

Milk frother is even easier to use. Just pour the milk in and press the button. Adding the froth of milk makes you feel like a real barista! You can totally make the same exact drinks as they make at Starbucks for the fraction of the cost. And the drinks are super strong depending on which intensities you choose.

I paired this machine with double-walled coffee/espresso cups also purchased on Amazon. Much better than your everyday ceramic cups so you can see what you're drinking and the art you just created in the cups. I also purchased the storage drawer holder for capsules that stores the capsules and machine on top (see pics)!

This is like any other home appliance. You have to upkeep things like this. Clean it. Maintain it. If you don't do any of these things, things will eventually break. And for the people that gave this product 1 star, return it if it's broken?
