Has anyone tried the Nespresso Vertuo machine? QVC is offering one for $159.00. I had a Delongi espresso machine for two years and the motor went out. Any thoughts about the Nespresso?

We just like our coffee black. We are from the "old school". Great tune from John Connelly.

My DIL had a Nespresso. It lasted around 5 years but recently died. It made delicious coffee. It needed special (expensive) coffee pods. I would pick up some for her when I came upon them. Amazon is a good source for the pods and the machines.

@Sis3

There was a thread abt a yr ago abt various Nepresso machines models.

There were complaints abt a specific Nepresso model the Q sold Vertuo Next as TSV Nov 2023 and I saw the samme model being sold at Marshalls and TJ Max stores.

I have a Nepresso- Breville Vertuo with water tank on the side that I bought at Bed Bath Beyond 4 -5 yrs ago . Mine has worked fine , only wish the coffee was hotter. This is echoed by others who have the same machine which is not a malfunction . The coffee comes out tasting better than my old Keurig.

We have one but it has not been used for at least 4 years, I gave away all the pods. I like it but guess we preferred the regular coffee.

Good luck on whatever you buy! If you are a big coffee drinker, Nespresso Vertuo is probably not the machine for you. It does use more expensive capsules that you buy from Nespresso. My husband loves the variety they offer in taste and size and has no complaints about the coffee not being scalding hot.

It makes in general stronger coffee than regular coffee pots make, and espresso. If you drink on a pot of coffee all day it probably isn't for you unless you put the 12 ounce brew in a keep-hot cup, mug or thermos.

I think the problems with the Verto machines have been solved in general, however if you buy the machine from the Nespresso web site you might be better off if you have to return or exchange one. You can also get reworked (renewed?) "fixed" machines from them.

We have a Vertuo machine (husband--likes more regular and flavored coffee) and an Original line one I use (have had one for 20 years and only drink espressos). We always buy from Nespresso site--great shipping and customer service for us so far.

I agree with everything @Sooner wrote. Nice machine, excellent coffee with nice variety, but the pods are far more expensive than the regular pods for the other Nespresso models.

The Vertuo pods are not readily available in most stores, other than Target (and who knows for how long) carrying some Starbucks varieties. Also the Nespresso website, to me, is the best option for the pods. I don't buy off of Amazon since you never know the expiration dates.

Yes I have this but I use the nespresso espresso machine more. The coffee the vertuo makes is stronger which I like and it is not flavored unless you buy the flavored pods.

I recently purchased and had much difficulty getting this to work. After many

attempts, had to do a factory reset and now working. Hope it stays this way.

I love my Nespresso Machine, I purchased it on QVC maybe 6 years ago and Thank Goodness-no problems..

It makes great coffee-I do not use mine every day becasue we also have a Keurig that we use..

But when I feel like a stronger coffee-this is the one I go to..Great flavor...

You can order the pods directly from Nespresso as well as Amazon.

If you get one, sign up with a Nespresso account. They run great deals all the time.

I just did a deal in August buy $100 worth get two free sleeves and a $30 off an order in October.

In October I redeemed it and bought enough for an additional two free sleeves.

I am set for awhile but it was a great deal.

GO look at the Nespresso site and Amazon. This is way too high. We've had them a long time, different models.

I have one. It's stored in my basement. The coffee was okay, but the pods were expensive and difficult to find.

They are not available in my local stores. I could order them, but it's expensive to order and then not like the coffee. I don't know anyone else who would want to try my unused pods.

It's difficult to know what type and flavor to get. Who wants to buy a sleeve and hate it?

My DH uses the Keurig and my Nespresso sits in the basement. If the pods were readily available, I might use it.

Nespresso is great for lovers of strong coffee and espresso, and iced coffee and coffee drinks with milk. It is not good for people who like regular coffee and drink a lot of it all day.

Nespresso gives a no-mess coffee experience. Nespesso gives free recycle bags from their site with coffee purchase. You fill it, seal it and drop it off with UPS--no charge.

Nespresso is great for variety, and you do pay for convenience. No mess, no measure, no fuss and coffee is dispensed quickly.

You do need to descale the machine occasionally as you would any machine that uses water.

The pods are aluminum--coffee will stay good for at least 2 years. They are beautiful in a glass container.

If you are signed up the Nespesso site has great specials--I check it daily. Sometimes you get a free box of chocolates!

The pods are easy to store. They don't take up a lot of room.

It is great for having guests. You can quickly make what everyone wants.

The Vertuo machines have lots more flavors and sizes of coffee servings. We have had Vertuo Plus machines with no problems. Next did have issues, maybe they are fixed now. But customer service for my experience has been good. Shipping where I live is remarkable--sometimes coming the next morning after I order.

Just some thoughts and maybe will answer some questions. Oh, make the coffee, pop up the lever and the pot drops into a holding box. NO mess, no grounds, no fuss!
