Nespresso Original Line vs. Vertuo vs. Keurig: Which is best? Are Nespresso coffees a must?
Style: Machine
Color: Black
I specialize in kitchen reviews. Of the countless gadgets I’ve evaluated, none gets more use than my superb Nespresso Essenza Mini. We’re coffee connoisseurs and get 99% percent of the quality we used to from time-consuming fiddling with my high maintenance Saeco Classico espresso machine. But is the Original Line as good as the more recently introduced Vertuo? Can Keurig complete with these European wonder machines? Read on to learn more: First, if you are going to order an Original Line machine, this Essenza Mini is THE ONE to get. Don’t let its diminutive size scare you. It’s so small you can leave it on the counter or conveniently store it and effortlessly use it daily with wonderful simplicity. Everything about this machine is FANTASTICO—ease of use, simplicity of cleaning, and no maintenance whatsoever. Second, if you are reading this review, may have a Keurig and possibly find its results mediocre. We sure did. The Nespresso gives you all of the convenience of Keurig, great coffee varieties, yet flavor worth of any expensive high end coffee house. Even the better Keurig coffees are simply not up to the flavor excellence of the Nespresso machines. ORIGINAL LINE VS VERTUO: DOES IT MATTER? So what about Original vs. Vertuo lines? It’s no secret that Americans like a big cup of java and Nespresso developed the Vertuo solely for the American market. Compared to Nespresso’s original line, the Vertuo claim to fame is the variety of drink sizes it offers. If dainty little Ristretto’s are not your thing, you can choose coffees that make cups of quite large sizes. For example, big mama Alto XL Intenso is the Mac truck of Nespresso coffees, yielding a giant 14 ounce cup. But the downside of Vertuo is that it utilizes a different extraction method. While the Original is 99% undetectable from old school ground espresso that’s hand tamped (a pain let me tell you!) the Vertuo is more about convenience while still giving a very fine tasting cup. Time and time again, professional reviews give a slight nod to the Original machine’s flavor, though. With the original system like with the Essenza Mini, you do get three size settings, tiny Ristretto which we never use, Espresso, and the largest volume Lungo. Although Nespresso makes lungo-specific pods with 20% more coffee, we like the Lungo setting while still using the regular sized pods. Compared to ploddingly slow Keurig machines, your amazing espresso (on any size setting) is ready in under 40 seconds! WHICH TYPE OF CAPSULE IS MORE ECONOMICAL? This was the deciding factor for us: The OriginalLine patent ran out some years ago and there is now a wonderful variety from competing brands, too. Some swear only true Nespresso-branded coffee is worthy of the machine and I am here to counter respectfully with one word: “Bunk!” I’ll admit that Nespresso’s coffees are consistency wonderful, yet they can be double the price of another famous brand we have found at our supermarket, Lavazza. Try the Deciso. It’s a 10 intensity roasted in Italy—fantastic and sometimes on sale as a BOGO at our market. Another great brand found here at Amazon is Cafespresso. It’s half the price, or less, than Nespresso coffee. We have only tried the 6 intensity Medosto and it rivals any mid strength coffee from Nespresso at only .37 a pod! Truly wonderful. One downside of Vertuo is that it is still under the patent. Unless you want the tedious habit of buying a contraption to tamp your own pods, you must use only Nespresso branded Vertuo at a fairly high cost, depending on size selected. I PREFER A BIG CUP OF COFFEE: DOES THAT MEAN MY CHOICE IS VERTUO? Nah! This machine, and any Original Line machine can knock out a double in less than 90 seconds! Just put your cup under the machine, add the capsule of your choice, brew. And QUICKLY repeat. Now, even with two capsules used, you have a cup as large as the Vertuo machine that remains very reasonably priced. DO I NEED A MORE EXPENSIVE MACHINE WITH A FROTHER? No! It is far better and cheaper to get a separate simple to use frother. We drink cappuccinos and lattes almost exclusively. The Nespresso Aeroccino frother is sometimes bundled with this machine but is quite overpriced. I’ve reviewed several frothers and highly recommend the Miroco ones. I use mine every morning. It’s half the price of the Aeroccino and easy to clean. In terms of quality froth and easy of use, the Nespresso Aeroccino and Miroco are equally good. Don’t bother with those cheap wand stick frothers. They are inferior and a pain to use. Here’s a link to Miroco’s stainless model review if this has frothed your interest: https://www.amazon.com/review/R3E10Y90RV2IZ0/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B07HH9BHL1 WHAT ABOUT NESPRESSO’S DOLCE GUSTO POD MACHINES? Before Nespresso developed the Vertuo line, it tried another pod system for the American market called Dolce Gusto. Think of it as Keurig-deluxe but no where near the quality of either of its Original or Vertuo lines. Nespresso is no longer marketing Dolce Gusto consumers but instead to the professional market of businesses, etc. Pods are only available through Amazon and each pod is expensive. We have a little used Dolce Gusto and abandoned it in favor of this magnificent Esssenza Mini. Jumpin’ Java! This sure has turned out to be a long review. Hope it has been of some help. Now time for good cup of coffee, for sure! HAPPY BREWING!

Great machine!
Style: Machine
Color: Black
I have had this Nespresso for a year and recommend it to everyone ! It is small, compact, and can be taken anywhere - I’ve taken it on vacations and also appreciate how it doesn’t take up a lot of counter space. It makes your espresso fast and tastes great. May be a little pricy, but I promise it’s worth the money!

Great espresso shots
Style: Machine
Color: Black
I was a little apprehensive, paying this much money for this machine however, it feels very stout and solid. Especially if you compare it to the newer Ventuo versions - those feel like cheap plastic and will break easily. Still working out how to use this thing properly, but very much reminds me of Italian machines that I used in the past. Caveat, if you’re looking for something that makes instant drinks, this may not be the machine for you, this basically just does the espresso shots-if you want a latte, you have to bring your own foaming milk. I personally like the flexibility as most of the time I’m just looking for the coffee to go with what I’m making. But if you’re the type that needs your unicorn Starbucks iced mochachino whatever.. probably not the machine for you. If you like straight shot in the espresso style coffee in the small dainty cups, this is right up your alley!

Great Little Nespresso Maker With a Few Drawbacks
Style: Machine
Color: Black
This is my first Nespresso machine, after having used them in various AirBNB's while on vacation, typically with the wide variety of capsules available at local markets. The price was right, as was the size. There are a lot of PROS about this product, which makes it an excellent first purchase. But there are a few CONS that can't be ignored for anyone trying to make a decision to spend more or less on a Nespresso maker. First let me say everything about this product, from unpacking to my first cup of espresso, was an absolute pleasure. I was not disappointed about any aspect of it. It's nice looking, well made, and solidly constructed. The complimentary sample capsules really helped me place my first order with Nespresso, as local markets in the US don't have the variety of third party capsules as other countries, if any. That said, there's very little negative to discuss, other than a few questions I have and the few shortcomings of this product: 1) Its compact size is both a blessing and a curse. The water reservoir needs to be filled up frequently, especially if you drink lungos, or multiple espressos in one sitting. This is not a big deal. The water tank easily lifts off, and refills quickly. 2) However, this unit seems to waste a lot of water, or rather, maybe that's how it works. This isn't such a large problem in of itself as the amounts are rather small, but with a limited water receptacle built into the base of the machine, it can quickly fill up and overflow. This is especially true if you perform an empty chamber warming cycle cup (running a cup of hot water without the capsule), or make an Americano this way. The tiny tray will fill up much more quickly than the ejected capsule container, which holds maybe 4-5. All things considered, this is also not a major problem, but it does take some of the convenience out of the system. 3) Where this becomes a problem, is that the moisture tends to find its way over the sides of the drip tray and into the base of the brewer, which is then spilled out onto the counter when the container is pulled out to be emptied. This tends to happen whether the tray overflows or not -- possibly from steam condensation? In other systems, the drip tray holds more water as it's combined with the drip tray for the spout. I see why they chose not to do this with this machine, as it allows the drip tray to be easily removed and a larger cup placed under the spout. However, all of the drip trays are defeated by the water that collects in the base of the brewer. I find that I have to wipe up the water on the counter after every time I pull the drip containers for emptying, which is much more frequently due to the small size of the unit. -- But this is more than a convenience issue. It also limits where and how I can use this brewer. I had thought its compact size would make for an excellent espresso maker for use in my office at work. Unfortunately, with the amount of daily cleanup required, and the small size of the drip containers, it's really not for use outside of a kitchen to easily facilitate these limitations. I may still try to put it on a tray of some sort, on a towel to absorb the water, with a larger waste water bucket nearby, but that kind of defeats the point of its compact size. So far I've been mostly pleased with the coffee it brews. I can't say I'm a fan of much of the Nespresso offerings, and I'm a bit disappointed that there are so few lungo choices, especially the intense roasts. But there are a few I do like, and that's really all I need. I also picked up a WayCap reusable capsule system which allows me to use any coffee I like, which works perfectly with this unit. 1) My main criticism of the Nespresso capsules is that they don't seem to correspond to standard espresso measurements. For instance, a single espresso is supposed to be around 25ml. This is what a coffee house like Starbucks serves. But this machine claims to brew a single espresso at 40ml -- almost twice that, and closer to a doppio. And while the espresso shot is rich tasting, adding just a 110ml of water to it, dilutes it to a a weak brew, not a robust Americano. Keep in mind Starbucks adds almost 300ml to a double shot of espresso to make a rich-tasting Tall Americano. So that's disappointing. 2) Im not sure if the brew temperature is hot enough to properly extract the flavor from these capsules, given that the machine appears to be calibrated for these volumes. Again, my research suggests the proper extraction temperature for espresso should be 87C-96C. The output from this machine is around 73C-79C. Since this is my first Nespresso machine, I can't be sure if this is normal or not, and these specs do not seem to be readily available anywhere. That said, this machine seems to make a decent single/double shot of espresso per capsule. If that's your goal, limited to about 2-4 cups a day, then this is a perfect little machine for doing that. However, don't expect great Lungos, or Americanos out of it. And more than 4 cups a day, expect to do a lot more daily maintenance. I do love that Nespresso aluminum capsules are 100% recyclable, and that they have a program that doesn't cost me anything. Aluminum can be recycled at only 5% of the resources to manufacture new aluminum and that's a huge distinction compared to plastic capsule systems, where recycling plastic consumes far more resources than creating it new. And given the size of this machine, I can afford the counter space even if used only occasionally when I want just a nice shot of espresso. For my larger coffee needs, I'm gonna have to stick to my K-cups for now.

The Espresso Monolith
Style: Machine
Color: Black
TL;DR: Solid machine at a great price with a clean design. Counter footprint so small it’s hard to believe. Starts fast. Operation feels secure and reliable. (Hello solid steel lever!) Altogether great update to the already winning Nespresso formula. Espresso quality: 4.5 Aesthetics: 5 Ease of use: 4 (see cons) Durability: 5? Value: 5+ PROS: -1-- QUALITY This machine kicks out high quality shots and long pulls that hardly anyone will have any complaint for at all. The taste depends only on the choice of pod, using pure water (see below), and keeping your machine clean (as in past Nespresso models). The only thing I'd knock it for would be that the crema isn't *quite* as good (robust and foamy) as you'd get on a full Italian machine. Short of dropping $12-25k+ (seriously) for one of those beasts, this is the best you'll get at home and it's ~95% of the way there. (Just my opinion, but as a former barista, I have used multiple such machines.) -2-- DESIGN The design is what sold me on this one in particular. Past Nespresso models have had a variety of attractive looks, but nothing beats Bauhaus minimalism in my book. Sadly the sides of the machine are glossy and show fingerprinting (see photo), but not too badly. The stark white Breville logo looks glaringly out of place on front an otherwise so beautiful machine. Wouldn't be a problem if they had simply used a dark grey instead of white and/or placed the logo on the back. Far from a deal breaker though. -3-- SPEED Starts up very quickly; <30s from cold to ready. Espresso pulls at a normal speed; up to a minute for long shots. See video. -4-- + No skill necessary! And faster! And easier! And no clean up! Minimal maintenance! -5-- ++ The price is right! (Personally, paid $75 on Black Friday. Check camelcamelcamel.com for price history.) CONS: -1-- EASE OF USE The only real con here is refilling the water tank. You can kind of lift the lid a bit but really you have to remove the tank to fill it easily. The tank is at the back so there's a reach around every time. Plus who knows how much abuse the little rubber gasket at the mount will take before failing? I'd feel better if it could be filled without removing and if the tank could swivel around like the old Nespresso U machines. Altogether not a big deal though. FYI: > Water tank comfortably holds one full standard (16.9oz/0.5L) water bottle worth of water. (Always use filtered or purified water in ANY espresso machine! Nespresso included.) See picture. I use bottled water (and recycle the bottles). > The two buttons come preset at 1.35 and 3.72 ounces, but can be easily reprogrammed, like most Nespresso machines. You can also hold the button after pulling a shot to add water to taste. > The machine has an auto-off eco feature that is on by default but can be disabled. Startup is so fast I didn't find that necessary. Leaving your machine on constantly can encourage the growth of bacteria (due to the heat), so it's a helpful feature. Plus good for the environment and your utility bill. > Descaling your machine regularly can have a dramatic effect on the quality of the espresso. To reduce the frequency that's needed and to improve shots in the mean-time, always use filtered or purified water. This is true of any espresso machine. To descale you run liquid descaler from Nestle through the machine. You can get instructions and materials from the Nespresso website. ENVIRONMENTAL: The pods are recyclable using postage-paid bags you can get for free with any Nespresso order. Each bag holds about 70-100 pods.

Pricey, but worth the money. Perfect size for apartment living!
Style: Machine
Color: Black
This is a great little Nespresso maker. It uses the original, smaller size capsules which is why I purchased it. The newer, larger pods use a different technology (The Spin) as opposed to a more traditional pressure system that this device uses. It's heavier than I thought it would be and ALSO smaller than I thought. Having said that, the quality is there and it does a great job for a simple Espresso maker. It does allow you to adjust both cup sizes as well as temperature which I love. I like my espresso a bit hotter. An added benefit is that the smaller pods have been on the market longer so there is a large variety available. Things I don't like, the small water reservoir means more refills. ALSO, there is no alert when you are low on water and if you are not careful to check the water level, you will waste a pod if the device does not pump water. Outside of that, it's a great little unit. The price is a bit high but you get what you pay for. Betting the cheap espresso makers you get at box stores will fail long before this unit. Worth the money!

Loving my Essenza Mini
Style: Machine
Color: Black
This is my first Nespresso machine. I have to say that I'm loving it. The Essenza Mini has a compact footprint and makes a really great espresso drink. The reservoir is small, but it's easy for me to fill and with espresso you don't use that much water. I'd say that the noise was a little louder than I expected based on other reviews (maybe just because they commented that it was VERY quiet) but it is by no means loud. My preferred drink to prepare is a cortado - I brew a lungo shot and then add some steamed milk to it. I've been buying the Starbucks by Nespresso capsules in both regular and decaf varieties. They are cost effective and seem to be top quality. If you want to enjoy an espresso at home in the easiest possible way, I'd highly recommend this machine. The Vertuo machines are lower cost, but the pods are MUCH pricier. I'm happy with my choice.
