Nespresso BNV250CRO1BUC1 Vertuo Coffee and Espresso Machine, Plastic, Chrome

I ordered this for my birthday. I finally received it a couple of days ago and was planning on waiting a week before I wrote a review. However. It didn't take long to figure out how to use it and I have to say the resulting coffee is DELICIOUS. I have had a regular coffee percolator, 3 Keurigs, an old Corelle ceramic percolator with steel basket, and finally a Ninja Coffee Bar. I did not like the way coffee made with the Keurig tasted plus you were stuck with either weak coffee or using two pods. One size does NOT fit all. Then we got the do-it-yourself pod refills but by then I was done with the Keurig. Not to mention the mess made with refilling the pods. The Corelle made GREAT coffee but when you only drink one or two mugs a day you wind up having to reheat in the microwave. Then it doesn't taste the same as fresh brewed. When I got the Coffee Bar I thought my problems were solved. It's a WONderful coffee maker allowing you to fresh brew one cup, or a mug, or a travel mug, or half a pot, or a full pot. It also allows you to make faux lattes and has a whip on the side for frothing hot milk. Oh and you can brew up iced coffee as well. But it just wasn't what I wanted as far as flavor. I tried several types of coffee. And here I need to add a disclaimer ... I only drink decaf. And before someone jumps in and says that's my problem ... the lattes I get at Starbucks have PLENTY of flavor. But making them at home with Starbucks decaf just wasn't the same. Enter the Nespresso. Oh and I also picked up the lovely glass topped drawer to hold the vertuo pods. That arrived days before the machine thanks to weather in SLC. Anyway I was concerned the machine wouldn't fit under my cabinets once it was on top because of the measurements given in the description. Well the height measurement, just so you know, is done with the top part fully opened. It fits just fine. So on to the first cup (and yes, I did order a three pack of the decaf offerings). I had read in other reviews that it doesn't produce a very hot cup of coffee. So I made sure to turn the machine on and leave it on for 9 minutes (that's the automatic shut off timer) and then brewed my first cup. Tepid. After I dumped in a bunch of cream. Off to the microwave. Second time I ran it for 18 minutes and used the aeroccino. Um. Not a good idea to use the spring attachment on the whip and the top max line for milk. It REALLY whips up the froth. Since I turned off the aeroccino too soon THAT cup wasn't hot enough. Back to the microwave. This morning I used the Intenso pod and I knew it only brewed 40 ml but I still was "Where's the rest of the coffee???" once it stopped brewing. OK OK ... whip the milk. This time I took out the spring and filled to the max line (use whole milk ... mmmmm). Not much froth on top but HOT milk and HOT coffee. No need for the microwave. and may I just say -- DEEElicious! Sorry Ninja. You are destined for the pantry to only come out when company is here. Do I recommend this machine? Absolutely. Yes the coffee is expensive but I only drink one or two mugs a day. I am, however, going to have to beg Nespresso to make an Alto pod in the decaf. Other than that, this baby gets 5 stars across the board.

Love this coffee machine for the office

Café chaud et super bon

Beautiful to behold. Functional and easy instructions. Order extra recycle bags. They are free, but don't always come with the pod order. I love this coffee center.

I absolutelv love this Nespresso Vertuo coffee machine. It's incredibly easy to use, brews rich and flavorful coffee with a smooth, creamy crema, and offers different cup sizes for every occasion. The design is sleek and modern, and it heats up very quickly. The included milk frother is a fantastic bonus for making delicious lattes and cappuccinos at home. It's definitely worth the investment, and I highly recommend it!
