NespressoVertuo Lattissima by De'Longhi, White

My sister told me about this machine and gushed over its qualities. I admit I was skeptical, but I was also ready to try something new as I was tired of spilling coffee grounds all over my kitchen counter as I transferred them to my coffee maker, and the whole rigmarole of making a cappuccino at home was wearing on me too. I was also ready to be disappointed as I am much pickier than my sister, particularly when it comes to crema on espresso and the quality of the foam for steamed milk. Well, I have to say, I was blown away! You can tell I'm 65 right? Does anyone say "blown away" anymore? Well, I was. As you can see in the photo, the crema is perfect, and so is the steamed milk (even though I use full-fat milk rather than the part skim as recommended by the manufacturer). Be warned, there is a bewildering array of coffee's available for this machine and they all have fancy Italian-sounding names that you may find hard to remember. However, be bold and try the lot. I have yet to have a bad cup, though I have to say my favorites so far are "Stormio" for a regular cup of coffee that can stand up to steamed milk, and "Altissio" for smooth flavorful espresso to be consumed as is. Yum!Although the quality of the coffee and foamed milk is this machine's most important features, I should also say that De'Longhi has managed to manufacture a foolproof experience! Honestly, there is nothing that can be done to improve this product. The only concerning thing about this machine was its delivery. It was on my front porch when I came home with the box open and a couple of parts spilled out. The machine had been mailed in the store box, rather than being placed inside a protective outer box. Not a good idea. Fortunately, all the parts were there and the internal package was good enough that the machine did not get damaged. I was amazed again. Still, it is an expensive machine and should have been packed inside a mailing box for extra protection. Just saying.

My Nescafe Dulce Gusto machine died during the storms caused by Hurricane Beryl's landfall. I'd been unable to get the pods that I preferred, "Grande Mild", for over a year, so I decided to try the Nespresso. I like that this machine reads the pods and automatically uses a certain amount of water and milk based on the pod info. The less I have to do to make coffee in the morning, the better.I also really like the milk frother on this, and I can push a single button and either get a latte, a cappuccino, or a milk topping. If you are diabetic, you will be glad to know that the milk frother can handle unsweetened coconut milk just fine!One morning, two weeks after buying this coffee brewer, it simply refused to work. I called customer support and we tried a few things to get it working again, but ultimately had to replace it. They cross-shipped the new one to me in a few days, literally before I had shipped off the old one!

I love this item. My husband loves it. We have barista quality coffee beverages at our fingertips as often as we want at a considerable savings from going to coffee shops. I made myself study the videos to make sure I learned how to use this machine properly, and it wasn't hard. I love the incentives that Nespresso offers for buying their coffee pods too!

Have had it for a year, and it makes good (albeit expensive) lattes, cappuccino, and coffee.However, despite using distilled water, it frequently (every 30-45 days) lights up the descale light and stubbornly refuses to work at all until you use the app on your phone to initiate descaling… which often forgets who you and your machine are, making it frustrating that you have to log into an account, sometimes reset a password via email, and use an app just to make coffee! Worse, during the 20-30 minute descale, the application sometimes gets hung up and stuck, having to start over.A simple light to remind you it’s a good idea to descale would be much better. It’s particularly aggravating when you offer visitors coffee and… sorry, I have to do a 30 minute stinky vinegar descale before I can offer you that cup of coffee.Will not buy another one, and go back to “nonsmart” espresso that doesn’t force me to log in or use Bluetooth.

This is one purchase tat I have never regretted not one single issue with it and it brews amazing cups. If you want get it you won't be disappointed, if its on sale then it's a must have whether you like espresso of just strong think coffee this won't let you down.

The media could not be loaded. This is by far the best coffee machine I've ever purchased. The ability to go from espresso to coffee is really neat, with just the touch of a button. But the milk container is the best feature. You can select an espresso and have it with a little milk or turn it into a latte. You can also add extra foam on top. The pods get stored in a little bin and then can be emptied when full. It requires a rinse every couple uses that is more than simple to do. I HIGHLY recommend this coffee machine.

Sold me a broken refurbished nespresso . Didnt suck anywater from water reserve . Wont make coffee . Frofter sounds like the machine is punching the table . . Can't get it replaced without returning it and buying it again . Really upsets that I have to wait another week to get another one that works.....Update . Recieved my new refurbished machine and it seems to work perfectly 👌

10/10 would recommend!!!!!Haven’t bought a Starbucks since purchasing sooo worth the $$$
