Nespresso A+GCA1-US-CH-NE VertuoLine Coffee and Espresso Maker with Aeroccino Plus Milk Frother, Chrome

CUSTOMER REVIEW



Firstly; my wife and I are huge coffee lovers. We spend a few hundred a month on Starbucks, CB&TL and Peets (sadly). We've used keurigs, the Vue and other home pod systems. We were looking for a coffe maker that 1) makes good espresso/latte 2) makes good coffee 3) doesn't require massive clean up and 4) doesn't cost $1200. This one beats all I've tried and meets all the criteria.

I'd held off the Nespresso because you have to order the pods and it didn't make regular cups of coffee. Both issues solved. Firstly local boutiques sell the pods and you can order them through the Nespresso app & Amazon with a 2 day delivery. The Virtuoline makes regular coffee. Sweet!



About the machines;

The Virtuoline is completely reengineered. It takes a bar coded pod (which the machine reads), spins the pod at high speed while injecting over 19 bars of pressure. The result is a very creamy (Crema) coffee or espresso before you even add creamer/milk. Works exactly as they advertise.



The Aerrocino plus is my new favorite toy. Somehow it froths milk into either a creamy blend or whipped froth (depending on which whip you use). My wife loves a foamy cappuccino and I like creamy latte's. It delivers every time. Coolest thing, one touch button and go. Simple and consistent. If you want to control the temperature, hear the steaming sound etc and then have to clean the nozzle everytime; you'll want a full espresso machine (ie pay 3 times as much and do 3 times as much work).



Pros;

* easy to use. Everything is literally 1 touch button.

* Easy to clean. Auto eject pod, rinse milk frother. Done.

* great performance: cream/milk frother; perfect!

* Excellent espresso; vacuum sealed perfectly roasted coffee beans ground and pressurized.

* Impressive Crema both coffee and expresso

* Well made, heavy duty components.

* Good selection of espresso and coffee

* Superior customer service

* Cost vs other options.



Cons;

* regular coffee (not espresso) is a little watery (but flavorful) if you don't short the cup at about 6 ounces.

* lack of ability to customize, options (if you really want to meddle)

* ordering pods

* separate milk frother.



Summary;

This is an absolute keeper. Meets all my needs, is affordable, doesn't require a massive cleanup every time you make an espresso and delivers consistent delicious coffee. Worth waiting for!
