Vertuo Plus XN900840 Coffee Machine by Krups, Black & Chrome

I really like this machine. The coffee it produces is delicious and feels like something you'd get at Starbucks. Definitely a cut above regularly brewed coffee. I don't know much coffee lingo it's frothy and bubbly. Really like the texture of this coffee. I would recommend ordering your pods off the Nespresso website instead of Amazon. The pods on Amazon seem overpriced and there's less selection. I even ordered pods that I thought worked with the machine, but they're the wrong size. On the Nespresso website, there is an awesome selection of pods and flavours. And they actually delivered quickly, within two days. The only small complaint I have is the coffee doesn't always come out hot enough, especially after adding milk. I don't think the water comes to a complete boil. Sometimes I pop it in the microwave for 10 seconds. Other times the temperature seems fine, like able to drink immediately but not necessarily as hot as it would be if you boiled water. Anyways, really happy with this purchase and the ease of use. I definitely recommend.

This coffee machine was a great purchase! I am not someone that typically drinks coffee, but my boyfriend does, and so do a lot of my friends, as well as my parents and other family members. So it is nice to now offer them a coffee from a proper machine rather than using a kettle and using pre crushed coffee. It is also super easy to use, and there is also an app that come with it so you can control the machine from your phone even if you wanted to which is super cool!This machine is super simple, and all the items are easily detachable for cleaning which is great.

Item delivered on first day of delivery estimate. Unpacked the machine and had it up and running in seconds. The initial cleaning process took about 5 mins, then made my first coffee, “Stormio”, which was strong and delicious. I normally drink coffee with milk, but it was so nice black that I didn’t want to mask the flavour. Really going to enjoy owning this machine! Registration was simple and now awaiting my 100 free capsules from Nespresso. Yes the capsules are expensive, but for less than 50p for a coffee you’d pay at least £3 for in a coffee shop, I think they’re value for money.

Wanted a nespresso machine for a long time but I didn’t like the fact it only did smaller cups of coffee so thought this was perfect. And besides amazon’s inability to deliver the correct colour (ordered shiny black, they delivered dull grey and I absolutely loathe grey appliances) this is as suspected, perfect. Is quite a hefty size and takes up a lot more space than my previous little dolce gusto machine but it’s worth every millimetre of extra space required. Produces lovely hot strong coffee, has a large enough capacity waste bin and an excellent water capacity. The coffee is simple enough to order online from their site although you do have to order 50 capsules at a time. The selection box you get with this machine gives a nice taster, but they are all fairly strong so I’ve struggled to find a coffee that agrees with me but that’s my personal tastes. There are a lot of choices in capsules however so I’m sure with a little trial and error I can find one that suits me. But if you like real coffee then splash out on one of these babies, you won’t regret it.

Smart nice but buying the coffee caps does cost still worth it

I'm a big fan of this machine.I managed to pick one up on an early Black Friday deal at £57.99. The machine itself came with 12 free pods, you can then register the machine with Nespresso for the warranty and pick up an extra 100 pods for free. If you then sign up with Nespresso's subscription service you get the first month free and can get another 50 or so pods for free. In my case that's the machine, delivery and 162 free pods for £57.99. Not too shabby at all.I'm not a coffee connoisseur, I'm well aware that this isn't the 'best' or 'artisan' coffee but as someone who bought this machine to replace a 8 year old drip filter machine with a mesh basket (usually filled with whatever pre-ground coffee is cheapest) it's absolutely perfect. The pods are expensive, there's no two ways about that. There are alternatives, you can buy reusable pods from Amazon that you fill yourself but that takes the convenience aspect of this machine away for me. My Mum actually uses a coffee bag crammed into an old Vertuo pod that she saved and that also works perfectly fine.If you're like me, somebody that wants nothing more complicated than reaching for a pod and pressing a button first thing in the morning, and enjoys espresso as well as longer drinks I can heartily recommend this machine.If you're a coffee connoisseur or somebody that appreciates the nuances of different roasts and flavour profiles steer well clear.Nestle own Nespresso and they have some pretty shady business practices also, keep that in mind when weighing this up.

The media could not be loaded. This M/C makes great coffee ..... when it wants to, which unfortunately is really when it wants to. It randomly works and then randomly doesn't. We believe it has an inherent fault as my inlaws received this same M/C for Christmas and the exact same problem on their M/CMaybe I will be allowed a cup of coffee tomorrow

Makes great coffee. Nespresso do a load of different varieties including iced coffee. The milk frother does hot and cold. Machine is easy to clean
