Anyone getting this? Obviously, there are buyers out there, but any of the posters here? Is it better than a French Press? I looks fairly compact, but I just don't know if I'd end up going back to my French press? Any opinions?
Solved! Go to the Best Answer.

I have regular Nespresso machine. Only because the space is small. This is baragin. You get over 50 dollars worth of coffee. Cup is no good, mine broke within 3 months, Starbucks cup is such a better deal. The machine is basically close to $100 which is bargain.
The part that is not bargain is capsules. I do love Nespresso, and I spend much more on it than a machine. They should give it for free really, anyway.
My first machine lasted almost 7 years. The second one I got last year.
I do love Nespresso crema, it is hard to beat it, unless you have very expensive coffee machine.

I bought it in the graphite gray. I've been wanting one for a couple of years. Love, the crema it creates. I've also been wanting a frother. The coffee pods alone are about $1.00/serving. This TSV includes 62!
Years ago I had an actual espresso machine. I used it a lot, but the steam-frother valve was tricky. I steam burned myself several times. The machine finally bit the dust. I miss it.
I am used to Keurig K-cups. My brother made french press coffee for me once and the coffee tasted like mud. I just drank it and didn't complain because he thought it was fabulous. My sister agreed with me.
I am sure your french press skills are better than my brother's.
Since I have my gym membership on "freeze" because of the pandemic, I am saving about $32+ a month (working out at home). So....that is how I am justifying my Vertuo purchase.

Exactly! This is similar to the concept of buying ink cartridges for my $99.00 HP printer. Cost of machine is small, but I have not had good luck with "re-inking" them. So HP makes a lot of money in the long run!
Delicious coffee is important to me, so I went for the TSV.

Ordered one in the past. Worked well. Coffee was all too strong for us. Looks like a great deal if you like really strong coffee.

I've had mine for a year and before that had a Keurig. Being single I like the convenience and the rich flavor. If I had more in my household, I'd really have to consider the cost per cup. I really enjoy robust coffee.
I used to have a French press until I was pressing it on my counter and it fell over burning me on my hand. Never again.

I was not considering it because I use my Keurig. I do love strong coffee and it sounds like some posters are saying it makes stronger coffee. Can anyone confirm that that is true? I personally think a percolator makes the best coffee....but I like the convenience and speed of 1-cup coffee machines.

@SurferWife . I am not going to purchase this particular machine. However, a couple months ago I did purchase a Nespresso Espresso machine with the Aeroccino (milk frother) from Macy's when it was on sale. It makes the best cappuccino and espresso I have had since the last time I was in Italy.

I also just love a strong cup of coffee, thinking about getting it.

I ordered one from QVC on Sunday as a pre-order. It was sent from the warehouse in Bethlehem, PA and was here in two days. It arrived yesterday.
I haven't used it yet, but I have had Nespresso coffee at my niece's house a few times. I am not a big fan of coffee and don't drink it everyday, but when I do, I like strong smooth coffee. I hate the bitter, acid taste of most coffee.
I can't wait to use mine. I almost got one from COSTCO, but QVC's peice is better. It's $10 more, but includes more coffee and a travel mug, which is worth way more than $10.
