Nespresso Vertuo Plus Automatic Pod Coffee machine for Americano, Decaf, Espresso by Magimix in Red

I am extremely happy with this Nespresso machine! It looks very stylish and high quality, and the red color is absolutely beautiful—striking and vibrant. I love the versatility of the water container, which can be placed next to the machine or rotated to be positioned at the back, depending on your preference. The large water tank is a great feature too, as I don’t need to refill it often.I also prefer the Vertuo capsules that fit this machine over the standard ones. The variety of options is fantastic—they come in different sizes like espresso, double espresso, and even mug-sized servings, with a wide range of flavors and strengths to choose from. It allows me to easily select the perfect amount of coffee based on my preference that day.The machine came with 12 capsules, and I also got a great deal with 50 free capsules as part of a promotion, making the price even more worthwhile.The only thing to note is that this machine is a bit larger and heavier compared to some other Nespresso models I’ve had in the past, so just keep that in mind depending on where you plan to use it.Overall, I’m very satisfied with the quality and performance of this machine—it’s perfect for anyone who enjoys great coffee!

Great machine great coffee

Having had my previous Nespresso Machine - for original coffee pods - for over 10 years, it was starting to show its age and I believe the pump was on the way out. Having been very happy with the delivery service and coffee from Nespresso and not having the room or budget for a standalone espresso machine I decided to stick with Nespresso again.Researched several options and landed on this one and 1 month in I have not looked back. With the original Nespresso you were limited to 3 coffee sizes, 25ml, 40ml and 110ml - which meant if you wanted a mug or larger travel mug size you used several pods. With that in mind I liked the fact that with the new Vertuo line you had more options from 40ml all the way up to over 400ml of coffee from one pod, allowing me to have the option of either an espresso or large tall coffee.The machine works slightly differently to the original - in that it does not pump water at pressure through the pod, rather this spins the pods at high speed to extract the coffee - so a slightly different finish but not noticeable to be fair. I opted for this machine rather than the Vertuo Next as this model mechanically door closure as opposed to a manual found on the Vertuo Next, if you watch the Next being used closing the lid is a two handed operation, whereas with this model it is simply a button press and the machine does the rest - making life a little easier! One thing just make sure of before you buy, especially if you are sitting this on the kitchen counter under some overhead cupboards and that is to make sure you have the clearance for the door to open - allow approximately 43cm height.All in all I am really pleased with the machine and in the years I have been using Nespresso pods the quality of the coffee they supply - it does cost more, but I am the only coffee drinker in the house and cannot justify the cost of a more substantial machine. IF you order your coffee direct with Nespresso they offer Next Day delivery and I also utilise their coffee pod recycling service as well which is free when you order coffee from them.

I had resisted the urge to get a nespresso maker for a few years. I was always interested in a bean to cup maker but could never bring myself to spending the 400 gbp plus for one. Took the plunge with this model. For 70 gbp, I couldn't go too far wrong. Up to this point, I drank instant coffees, e.g. kenco, millicano, nescafe Americano etc. And thought it was fine. Post the first taste of the nespresso, the former instant coffee wasn't fine, it was poor, low grade coffee. The nespresso machine makes you realise this. Yes, instant is OK but it's not great. It's only when you have something better do you realise what you had was poor.OK, so the financials. 70gbp gets you the maker and a included is c. 20 pods which have a retail value of c.15 gbp. Then when you register, you get a welcome pack of 50 capsules which have a value of c. 30 gbp. Then you get 25gbp off your first and 6th order. It has paid for itself already!Yes, you're on the hook and it's a subscription service but it's far superior coffee with lots of different flavours and styles. Handy app to manage the orders and free delivery on orders of 100 capsules or more. Free collection of your recycled capsules too.
