Breville Nespresso VertuoPlus Coffee and Espresso Machine by Breville Grey

The media could not be loaded. I had my eye on this Breville Nespresso VertuoPlus for a while and finally jumped when the price dipped a bit, and I’m so glad I did! We’ve used a Nespresso machine for over a decade at home and have come to rely (maybe even depend 😄) on the top-tier coffee quality it delivers. But my office setup had been lacking…until now. This machine is a noticeable upgrade from our older model at home. The motorized head opens and closes smoothly at the touch of a button, giving it a sleek, modern feel. The tall, slender water reservoir can be repositioned to either side, which is incredibly helpful when placing the machine near a wall or in tight spaces. It holds plenty of water (around 40 oz) and looks elegant too. Key Features I Love: Fast Heat-Up: It’s ready to brew in about 25 seconds. I especially like that you can press the brew button as it's warming up, then walk away. it will automatically brew once it reaches temperature. Smart Spent Capsule Disposal: After brewing, just tap the button and the head lifts, dropping the used capsule into a hidden rear bin. The magnetized bin stays firmly in place. Adjustable Drip Tray: Whether it’s a small espresso cup or my oversized heated mug, the drip tray accommodates easily and is simple to clean. Looks Fantastic: I went with the gray version. It looks sharp and is a conversation starter—almost everyone who visits my office comments on how stylish it is! Added Bonuses: It came with a sample pack of Nespresso Vertuo pods, from espresso to large coffee, with a variety of roast levels. The box included discount codes for use on Nespresso’s website, which was a nice surprise. Final Thoughts: This machine brews single-serve coffee and espresso at the touch of a button, offering 4 cup sizes (5oz, 8oz, single and double espresso), and works great for hot or iced coffee drinks. It’s perfect for both home and office use, and the automatic shutoff is a great energy-saving feature. If you love Nespresso coffee and are looking for a versatile, elegant, and easy-to-use machine, I can’t recommend this one enough. Five stars all the way! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Read more

The media could not be loaded. Nepresso Vertous Plus machine was easy to set up. It has a water reservoir that rotates on either side or directly behind the tank. It comes with a starter set of pods. Each pod has a coding that determines the amount of water needed for that particular café. The coffee temperature is around 190-195° coming out and is cool enough if you add milk or cream to drink right away. The color and design look good on my countertop. You will need clearance above the machine to fit under your counter because the top lifts up. The machine is heating up because it’s flashing green. It’s ready to go because it’s solid green in about 30 seconds. With a touch on the arm handle, it’ll automatically open or automatically close. The storage container in the back collects all the aluminum used pods. You may either recycle them or toss. A lot of my coffee cups that are smaller at the top than the base still sit on the stand. I thought for sure the stream of coffee would not hit the rim, but it does jet out and works. This machine does not make a mess on my counter. Overall, the taste of a Nespresso coffee pod is unbeatable. Definitely a European style cafe and reminds me of the cafés I would get in France with the foam of the coffee on top. Read more

The best coffee maker ever. It makes the best espresso. Perfect size and easy to use. Read more

The first thing I noticed on this model is that is it is extremely quiet when the automatic lid opens and closes and more importantly, brewing coffee. I could say this with some authority since this is my third not of this particular model, but of Nespresso machines. I make a lot of coffee and unfortunately on a lot of these the bearing wears out and then they fail. I usually get about 2 to 3 years out of each machine. So far so good, coffee comes out nice and hot. It’s simple to use. You have to love the one button deal. This unit is definitely small enough to fit on the countertop of most US kitchens. The lid will open and you won’t hit the upper cabinet. Read more

I’d give it zero stars if I could. If you must buy a pod machine stick to keurig. I know this particular model is cheaper but 2 years ago I had a significantly pricier model that conked out after 8 months and I never got around to swapping it out because I was selling my home. Fast forward I caught a sale on this during Black Friday. It’s already broken and needs to be replaced. Mind you I bought a frother and this am and yesterday I wasted a bunch of milk and creamer as I start my foam at the same time as the coffee. This is going back tomorrow and I won’t bother with this brand again. I’ve decided to go with the Bambino as its replacement. If I could afford the Bambino plus I’d get that instead but I can’t wait to replace this thing. Don’t waste the money buying a Nespresso machine Read more
