CUSTOMER REVIEW
I have used this machine for about a week, and it is awesome! I had used an espresso machine frequently years ago, but got sick of the grinding, prepping, priming, etc., especially before work in the morning. So, I eventually gave up and bought a plain-ole coffee maker. Unfortunately, "regular" coffee, to me, tastes like hot water. I even tried a Kuerig, but returned it within a month - it was more convenient, but the coffees are no higher quality than any grocery-store brand coffee. So I debated for a long time about whether I should wait for one of these brand-new Nespresso Vertuoline machines, or just buy one of the older, espresso-only Nespresso machines.
I have to say that I'm very happy that I waited for this one! The espresso is excellent, the drinks have all been hot (even when adding milk from the Aeroccino), the whole spinning process takes about 15 seconds (or less) to pour into the cup, and - most surprisingly - the new coffee-sized cartridges are AWESOME! They taste NOTHING like regular, ground grocery-store coffee-in-a-can. They are much more flavorful, much stronger, and seem fresher even than using whole coffee with a grinder (maybe it's from being sealed in the aluminum cartridges?).
The Nespresso club has been great - they ship coffee and espresso cartridges within two days, and seem to have excellent customer service. I emailed a question to them and had a personal answer (not a canned answer) within about 3 hours.
My final comment - I have tried Keurig coffee in the past, and now have this Vertuoline; the Keurig wins on availability, but if you want a single-serve coffee maker, and actually appreciate and LIKE THE TASTE of good coffee, then this machine wins HANDS DOWN.
EDIT 3/4/2014: Just wanted to add, based on another reviewer's inaccurate comments, that you CAN adjust the volume of the pour to between 0.3oz. and 17oz. by a simple process that is clearly explained in the owner's manual. The machine remembers your programmed espresso levels and coffee levels separately, and keeps that programming until you reset it.
