is Nespresso worth it? - one year real world review of the Vertuo line
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лип 2024
- This is my 1-year review of my Nespresso vertuo machine/coffee/customer service and more! I also talk about the differences between Nespresso, Keurig, and freshly brewed coffees as well as maintenance and the difference between the original and vertuo lines.

Hey Everyone, if you're coming here to say ESPRESSO NOT ExPreSSo, I know I say espresso weird now.
Dude, you did a great job on your video, and people need to chill about that tiny, ridiculously picky detail. Ignore them.
SuZiKaT22 100% agree! I think a lot of the general public actually says expresso (noticed it in conversations), but of course everything has to be a big deal on the internet. 🙄
oof you caught me ... great review though
Justin Martin I’m glad you acknowledged this😂 kinda drove me insane. But I really appreciated this review. Helped me solidify my decision
@@user-pb7wl2fq5b A lot of the general public are ignorant fools. Doesn't mean we all have to be. Strive for better. Justin, good video IN SPITE of the minor grammar issues, and good on you for correcting yourself.
Thanks for the video. I'm actually a contractor for Nespresso and as I've just started with the company, I'm here to learn, even though I've had six weeks of training, I still think videos like yours give me some more education on coffee and the machines.
We’re thinking of of buying one and your review is part of my research. It was very thorough and you covered everything I was curious about. So helpful!
I just got one, a Vertuo Plus and I wholeheartedly recommend it! Especially with the Aero 3.
Justin,you could review anything and make it interesting,such a refreshing change to hear such a well spoken young man.
Great review thanks just purchased mine today 😍
Great review, you covered all the essentials. :) Thank you!
This guy is amazing I wish I could talk that concisely
Hi Justin, thanks does your review. I didn’t like the Kuerig Coffee. I’ve been wondering about this machine for quite some time. Honestly, you’re the first video I could sit through. It’s was thorough, to the point and covered a lot. I hate it when there a lot of background info and unnecessary comments about who knows what. This is the type of video I was looking for. Thank you!!!
I just got mine and am enjoying experimenting with it. My machine was made by Breville, and I believe some of them are made by another company, but that may be just for the original Nepresso. Once I finished the 12 pods that came with my machine, I tried to find the pods locally but found out they can only be obtained from the company. When I finally placed my order (on a Friday night), they arrived Monday morning. I compare this machine to having a printer; as stated, thy make their money on the pods, like printer manufacturers make it on ink cartridges. For me, I plan to use this when I only have time for one cup of coffee or I want a specialty drink. Mine came with a frothed, so I do have some extra options. I really appreciate the tips given here for cleaning the machine, etc. Do order the recycling bag when you place your order; it’s free.
Thanks for the review. I love mine! Saved me lots of cash since I feel I’d rather have my coffee than starbucks. Love the milk frother too
I just got mine as a gift and wow I’m very impressed and coffee take amazing .. it cheaper then Starbucks and with COVID this is a great alternative.. love the coffee
Great review !! Short and sweet and too the point
Yes, I have one. The Best for my household.
Great coffee
I loved how detailed this is! I'm looking for the right nespresso machine for me and this video was super helpful! Also, Marylander here too! I heard the accent when you said honeycomb lol.
Great review! Just ordered this because I love coffee with a lot of crema but the nice espresso machines are over $600. The pod prices were easily justified once I realized that compared to my daily Starbucks runs this is still much cheaper
It's not crema, though. It's aerated foam. They're produced via different methods which creates different texture and flavor. Crema is produced via carbon dioxide trapped in the coffee. The foam from a Nespresso is caused by the blender-like action of the spinning pod and aerated water.
Two videos worth watching about this:

I did enjoy your review! It was honest and spot on. I recently purchased the same model and color and agree on all fronts!
Just got mine last week. Been great so far. Miles ahead of Keurig in terms of taste, quality and overall experience. Great video!
is it like Starbucks? What would u compare it to
Who else was watching the water jiggle the entire time?
😅😅😅
😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
The water and the plant 😂
Haha
Not until I read this. Now I can't stop.
I have the same machine which is about 10 months old. While brewing the coffee started streaming out the back of the machine through the pod ejection ramp and all over the counter. I tried cleaning then rescaling and it still does it. Called customer service and they were amazing, Tried one more thing that didn’t work. They will send me a box specifically to ship the machine in for repair with the shipping prepaid. The repair time might be a little longer due to the pandemic, but she was very understanding. Very caring customer service. I have to make due with drip coffee for 3 or more weeks, and believe me, there is a big difference in taste! And I love the 14 ounce choice as well as the ability to choose the strength and underlying notes of the coffee.
My Nespresso machine arrived yesterday, fixed, with a nice note telling me what they did. Amazing coffee again this morning. Life is good!
Hey Jorge! Great video!
I'm in the market for a Nespresso to replace my Keurig. I've watched tons of reviews and yours is the most straight forward and informative I've found so far! Thank you :)
get ready to spend $60 a month on pods, im going back to keurig
@@illsuive You forgot to mention that you can't purchase the pods anywhere the only way to get them is directly from the company which is how they get all of the money. There is only one store I've ever seen them in and it was my Bed Bath & Beyond unfortunately my BB&B just closed.
Nespresso currently only sells their capsules from their own stores as they want to create a one on one personal experience with their costumers but the have many options online to help you out with that and only two days shipping when you purchase the capsules they come in a sleeve of 10 per kind and it really doesn’t range over $12 per sleeve which when you consider how much you spend on a cup of coffee is not a lot and you are getting a 100% coffee grind
@@josephbennett3482 Pods are available through Nespresso online, in their physical stores (I happen to live near one) and on Amazon. There is also some third-party selling a refillable pod now, but I'm not sure I trust it. And he did very clearly say in the video that the pods are where they make their money. By the way, according to the Nespresso rep in the BB&B, BB&B has never carried the virtuo pods.
@@SkylarCarswell33 this rationale was why I finally got one of these. I was first put off by the price of pods and that they were only sold by the one company, but I finally decided that 1) the lattes it makes are as good as what I get at most coffee shops, and a lot cheaper and more convenient, and 2). The regular coffees it makes are a bonus for quick convenience. It did not replace my percolator for most morning coffee at home, but it did replace almost all my trips out for a latte. Plus it's much easier to use and clean than a traditional espresso machine. 3). I predict Nespresso will be in business for a while, and if they stop selling the pods while I still have a machine, I predict some third party will step in.
And Justin is right, if you're a coffee craft expert, who will drink nothing but the best, you're not looking at one of these anyway.
I’m looking to buy a Nespresso and this was VERY helpful, thank you!
Me too I have 3 Keurig’s the coffee is so bad I been buying cold brew and using it ! Sigh 😔
Terrific review. You’re one of the few people that actually understands what these machines are and aren’t.
This review was really helpful as I'm thinking about becoming a first time Nespresso owner. Have you had problems with water leakage? I saw a concerning number of comments on their site.
very informative review - thank you!
Loved your video man, you gave the facts straight. I see so many people talking about how this machine makes "espresso" when it is not true at all, it is almost the same kind of coffee that u can get from a Moka pot which is not espresso either. To get espresso you need 9 Barr of pressure, which these appliances do not achieve. I'm not saying that you cant enjoy their this kind of coffee but some people need to watch this video to get their facts straight.
This was really helpful. Thank you.
I use these for mornings because I’m in back to back meetings, often triple or quadruple booked, and simply don’t have time to use my proper machine. Proper espresso machine takes 30 minutes to heat up, never mind grinding, pressing, pulling, frothing if I make a cappuccino, and cleaning. It’s as good as you can get without spending the time to make a proper espresso.
Will enjoy on your time off.
I liked this review, I was however rather distracted by the strange positioning of the pot plant.
jabhip , you read my mind 😂
I kept getting worried he was going to elbow it off the table lol.
I laughed out loud cuz I haven’t noticed it till you mentioned it 😂
Lol
That's because your a prissy little bitch
Those comercials that George Clooney use to do for the Nespresso still crack me up!😀
Thank you! Have been looking for this all over
I just got mine at Williams Sonoma, on sale, and it came with a milk frothier. They are manufactured by two different companies; mine was made by Breville, and so far I’m enjoying it.
We are waiting for our shipment of coffee as I watch this video, can't wait
Descaling solution can be made by adding a Tbsp of citric acid (found at chemical supply companies on line), or one packet of non-sweetened lemonade flavored Kool Ade to a full tank of water. Just run another tank of clean water through afterward.
I just received mine and LOVE it. I also have a refillable capsule and use fresh ground coffee in it. Takes it to the next level.
What's this refillable capsule? The pod cost is the only thing holding me back on this
Where did you get the refillable capsule?
@@jkevinn12 Amazon. the stainless steel version also the refill kit. Both work well.
@@MrUltimateX the nespresso vertuo line is more $$$ then the original it also produces amazing coffee. If you invest the refill system or reusable pod, it makes it worth it. I still buy new on sale or special but been very happy
@@mmstep5150 That's good to hear! I'm super bored of my pour over coffee. Going to try and score a machine on sale this holiday!
Nice job... overall, a very thorough overview. I own two of these machines. One was on my kitchen counter and the other on my desk at work. I have since started my own coffee roasting business so neither get use anymore but they served their purpose well and in the year or two I used them, never ran into a single issue. That’s not something I can say of any of the Keurig machines I had owned prior.
For quick and convenient, these machines are great. If you’re more into subtle flavors and not against taking more time to brew an excellent cup, these machines are not for you. I used to drink these every day and now, I can’t seem to tolerate more than a sip or two before dumping it out.
Oh, and my eye twitched every time I heard “expresso”. You’ve learned something new though, so thats good. LOL
So how do u make your coffe now ? Im about to buy one but your method sounds better whay do i need
Taiel Az For espresso, I have a machine made by Rocket. That’s not in every person’s budget though. For coffee, I like pour overs. You can get a Hario V60 for under $20 and in 3-4 minutes, you have a great cup of coffee. For larger pots and convenience, I also have and enjoy the Breville Precision Brewer. That makes a pot of coffee (typical drip machine) but also have a pour over accessory for those very early mornings when you don’t want to put the effort in.
No one in my region says es-presso, and it has a HIGH Italian population (many speaking Italian as a first language).
Amazon has metal reusable capsules where you can use your own coffee grounds!!
I never knew there was an expiration date. Good to know you can email them if you get an expired sleeve. Thanks
I can not understate how amazing my machine has been. I am a senior in high school, and I wake up every morning to make myself a nice drink that tastes just as good as what I would order from starbucks, for a fraction of the price and time. It takes 5 minutes to make my iced coffee with espresso at the max, and I'm ready to go! The only bad thing to come out of my machine has been that my mom also fell in love with it, and now has to buy her own when I move off to college! It's made my mornings easier, vastly cut down my calorie count, and has generally improved my mornings as a whole.
One thing I think is underrated about Nespresso is the amount of quality control they have with their product. With Keurig, they have an abundance of options for different flavors and brands, but they as a company have no control over how those different flavors actually taste when made in the machine or just the "health" aspect of the product. Nespresso controls essentially every aspect of their product which, yes, increases the price (really not much, though), but vastly improves the quality of the brew and the ingredients inside of it. The machine is intuitive and easy to use and clean, and above all, makes a good brew.
I wholeheartedly recommend this product to ANYONE wanting a fast, easy, and delicious coffee experience, NO MATTER your age! For people my age (late HS and college) STOP going to Starbucks and buy this! I used to go to Starbucks maybe 3 times a week at the most to get an Iced Caramel Macchiato, but now I can have one everyday, and an entire month's worth of Nespresso double espresso pods and vanilla coffee syrup costs as much as 1.5 weeks of going to Starbucks. Last thing: I think it says a lot about a product when an 18 year old kid is spending his afternoon writing a lengthy overwhelmingly positive review about it. That's how much I love this thing.
*EDIT* I feel the need to make it clear that this product is AMAZING for its ability to make a good cup of coffee or espresso at its price point and its extreme ease of use and overall convenience. I would not endorse this product over a traditional espresso maker if you want to drink espresso by itself, or if you have the time and willingness to actually make a quality espresso each morning (or whenever you feel like it). If you're like me and you want to make Starbucks-type drinks with all the fixings, or if you only want-to-spend/have 3-5 minutes to make your coffee in the morning, this product is for you. If you're choosing between Keurig and Nespresso, keep doing your research and make your decision individually, not solely based on this comment or video! (Also, Amazon has AMAZING customer service and return policies, so maybe even order either the keurig or nespresso and try them out for a week or so and return it if you don't like it! I will say that our old Keurig lost its touch a year or so in, but the Nespresso is still going strong now that we've had it about 6 months.)
Very well writ Jack, congrats.
Excellent job Justin
Vertuoline has made me from a non coffee drinker, into a coffee drinker!
Same!
I went with the non-motorized lid version of this machine. I clean it between each use by running an empty espresso shell through after each brew. It’s amazing how there are always a few grounds that come out when I do. Where are they going when I don’t do it like this? 🤔
All things considered, one really can't go wrong with Nespresso.☕❤️
funny joke
Nespresso recommend descaling a Nespresso machine after every 400-600 capsules, or at least every 6 months.
Excellent review. You’ve sold me.
I just got one yesterday. It comes within 2 days. If you drink one per day. I think it worth it. It costs around 0.7 cents per cup. I use one casual to two cups. The second cup will little thinner but it is still tasty for me.
Thanks for great video,very well explained,i heard alot about these machines leaking and were you put pod in is very hard ti clean around it but you have it along time and no problems so must be ok i think i will buy one,thanks again
I got one this year and its great! PODs are about $1 a piece which is less then getting Starbucks. Very premium and the coffee is WAY better then anything I got out of my Keurig. Great gift for a coffee connoisseur.
1 $ a piece is pretty significant lol
Now that I get free weekly bags of coffee (from work), I found it useless to continue to buy pods. I ended up buying a stainless steel reusable pod for my nespresso so I can use my own freshly ground beans :D saved me tons!!
What is your reusable pod called and where did you get it from?
@@vintagedesert I can't remember, I just typed in "stainless steel reusable nespresso pod" on Amazon and got the one with the most/best reviews
I’m not sure if you can use a reusable pod with this model.
Great review, thanks.
Nice review. Thank you.
Just need to see more of that Day Date
The original machine does Lungos too and not only expressos. Have one bought around 7 years back, still runs, never had issues with it - just do maintenance (descaling) every 4 months or so..
Nice vid! Found your channel through Reddit :-).
Enjoyed video. How hard is it to find the pods? I currently have a Starbucks Verismo which I love, but they stopped selling the pods in the stores and I hate ordering them online.
Great overview ... they should make a ‘cleaning pod’ for annual maintenance.
Unfortunately a cleaning pod wouldn't be able to help clean your water lines. Which is what the descaling is for. :)
Although no water sits in the machine, as water passes through it can leave mineral build up over time.
I still enjoy my Keurig but i will purchase a Nespresso one day, even though the capsules are pricey
What a great real world review. I get the appeal of convenience with these and Keurig, but the expense of the machines along with the ongoing high price of pods and capsules is a big negative. Not to mention the resources used to produce the capsules/pods and subsequent landfill waste. All for a mediocre coffee or espresso at best.
I use and recommend an Aeropress along with a burr coffee grinder. Together they make wonderful coffee. I grind the beans fresh for each espresso like shot (I also only use for latte) or cup of americano coffee. Boiling the water, grinding the beans and brewing the espresso/coffee takes 5 minutes or less. And cleanup is just a rinse under the faucet. Great coffee, low expense, no waste and just a tiny amount of effort.
Nespresso produce 0 waste a pods are recyclable and recyclable bags are free. Also the coffee in the pods are high end and not just any coffee bean is used. Absolutely no oxygen touches the coffee in production until they are punctured by the machine to brew.
futureace One Hi, I’ve recently bought my 3rd Delonghi Nespresso Pro machine (ea. time I buy a better machine with more functions). I use a particular brand of ground coffee & refillable coffee pods, which allows convenience, cheaper pods & sustainability (original style pods). Plus the machine can be used as an urn. I have a really tiny kitchen, no kettle taking up space for which I’m so grateful. Enjoyed this review too.
Great video, thanks!
Did u get the one with the milk frother and do you ever make ice coffee with your machine? Great review💕
Awesome review brother. Just returned my Walmart keurig today. Coffee tastes watered down and disappointing
Very good review, thank you. I've had the original Nespresso capsule system for many years and use it daily and not sure of extra benefits with this new system. One small thing that bothers me with old system is that the accessories like water tank etc aren't dishwasher proof and need to be washed by hand. Presume same on the newer Vertuo machines?
Yeah I agree - I just don’t understand the attraction with these models as they seem a lot more expensive.
I went through three Nespresso machines and blew lots of money with bad tasting coffee. The machine is not durable. The first few months it was fantastic, but I ended up losing more money because the machines will not last long. I use a French press now and I am happy.
carry a baggage full of capsules back from europe, half the price of US..
Can we take a moment to appreciate that amazing plant.
Should I get the Vertuo as well having an original line on my possession?
Ours started making a grinding noise when opening and closing the automated head and I don't see any way of getting in there to clean it easily.
Nice day-date! I can’t really tell whether the bezel is fluted or not, is it a bark finish? (From one watch lover to another)
I love my Nexspresso machine
Nice Review. Can you compare this machine to a Verismo?
you have a very calming voice
no he dont
It's neither calming nor alarming, his is just an ordinary voice.
I own a keurig mini and only used it a few times and it currently sits on a shelf collecting dust. Ive been seeing a lot of people with nespresso
U use my keurig mini everyday, multiple times, im not that picky on my coffe, i drink the kirkland bold one on the strong setting, and its fine by me (i drink my coffee black with just a tiny bit of sugar). Im thinking on upgrading to a nesspreso but i dont know.
I have had an nespresso membership since 2006 . Many good coffees but sick of all the dramas warm coffees over the years and high cost of pods. Looking at latest Breville Oracle Touch machine .
It's worth it , easy and don't have to worry about being consistent
I love my machine and think the espresso is great!
Its not espresso.
pumpkin1escobar they have tons of different options from regular coffee, mixed coffee drinks, and actual espresso.
pumpkin1escobar yes it is?
I just bought this mashine :) and I love it. But all those coffee pods are confusing? Is it the size of the pos and not the coffee inside, that desides what it is? Espresso, american, ordinary, and such?
I was n Bed, Bad & Beyond the other day, and out of sheer boredom I let the Nespresso rep run through her spiel about the Nespresso lines. After thinking how Nespresso tries to rope you into whatever coffee they have on tap, I was pretty sure I’d never buy this product. Until your video, I didn’t even consider how much Nespresso was gonna soak customers for the pods. Your video completely convinced me I’d never buy one.
Paid 50 for mines and although I love the machine I really wish there were third party sellers bc the pods along with the delivery can be expensive. This month I’m going to try to go to Sur la table to see if they have them there to eliminate that pesky delivery fee!
Amber Heard You can get refillable pods for them, then you can use any coffee you would like, and it is MUCH MUCH cheaper
Bed bath and beyond has them as well as Costco
Starbucks have now bought out a vertuo line
Where did you get the glass stand where you put the pods under? Love the idea!
@amazon
Could you list the model number etc of the white machine your explaining ..it’s kinda confusing after watching the nespresso commercial ( Clooney) nespresso ( nestle) made one type of machine
Just got mine for £65 including delivery !
So did I plus the offer included 100 free pods. Unfortunately they make their money by addicting you and paying the premium price of those pods.
It’s the printer and ink concept ( sell you the printer for next to nothing and gouge you on the ink) we managed to figure that one out. I reuse the aluminum pods and buy aluminum foil caps on Amazon. I can make my own custom flavours. I can make about twenty pods in about twenty minutes. A buck twenty a pod!? Hahaha! Not in my lifetime. Thanks for the great review!
what kinds of nespresso pods you favourite?
I love mine
Simply love Nespresso. I have two machines at home (original & vetuo), one at the office (vertuo) and another one (citiz) for traveling. And 6 Nespresso accounts just to be able to order capsules from the different countries where I spend longer time per year (one account not working worldwide is quite uncomfortable actually). Overall, I could’t imagine my days without Nespresso! ❤️
Good review. How do you get coffee to come out hotter? Also some recipe instructions would be great.
U need to prime the machine before use, so before using the machine everyday you prime it so it heats up.
You can't, it's the one downfall of Nespresso. I heat my cup up with hot tap water first then brew a cup.
Heating your cup with boiling water before you make your drink really helps
Just want to mention that the machines from both lines actually do create the proper pressure to make proper espresso/coffee with real creama. I grew up in a coffee shop and was used to certain coffees. But I now own both an Original machine and a Vertuo because they genuinely do produce the same quality as a coffee shop machine. Their Original machines are even rated at a higher bar pressure than most coffee shops even use. I am lucky to have a store near me where the staff actually knows what they're talking about and the amazing work the company puts into the coffee is outstanding.
Great comment/s. Here in the UK our coffee shops start out making rich, full-bodied coffee for Cortados, Flat whites etc but as they change staff, the coffee gets drowned in milk! The only good coffee is an independent run by a Colombian guy who uses the same machine as the chains that make sloppy coffee! There are virtually no Colombians in the UK but I'm very lucky!!!!
It's not crema, though. It's aerated foam. They're produced via different methods which creates different texture and flavor. Crema is produced via carbon dioxide trapped in the coffee. The foam from a Nespresso is caused by the blender-like action of the spinning pod and aerated water.

is it good for health?any side effects?
Have you had any leaks with the reservoir? A lot of reviews are complaining about water leaks..
Big Ed mine was leaking for the first few days, and then I’m not sure what happened, it just stopped
What do you film with?
Where did you get it from?
Is the water tank fixed or can be moved an make it the same line with the machine ?
It is moveable
I was going to buy one On sale before I heard you say “the beans in these capsules were ground up months ago”
How is the temperature of the coffee with this machine?
I am having a hard time choosing between a Nespresso machine and the Keurig K-Cafe machine.
Is this a normal nespresso cap in the us? In Austria they look way different
these are the vertuo line pods. Different pod and process.
It’s just for espresso right?
How did you know the pod is expired
I just purchased one of these machines it was only £99 for the machine with 100 free capsules and a free 2 months subscription to the nespresso membership
Haha same. We have a boutique in our city and I've been today to use my free credit too. Got some cups and syrup plus 5 boxes of pods.
Where did u get it please?
where did you get a white one?
compared to instant coffee/dried coffee. This pods is a fantastic choice! If you compare a real espresso from a espressomachine and a grinder for ex $ 1,500 - 2,000, the comparison will be dishwasher - espresso! And the cost will be a tenth of what a pods cost...
Nice sweater
Hi I have a question I need help I have this machine. And I left the lunge open over night. And now it won’t close. And my machine won’t even turn on. I don’t know what to do. Please someone help if anyone knows 😱😥
