This is the easiest way to get coffee in the morning when you want a cup ASAP with no fuss. No more coffee filters to wash, spent grains to get rid of, no coffee pot to wash. What a pleasure. No it is not the same as my pour over but it is fast, convenient, fun and there is a tasty variety of coffee to choose from. I order pods from the Nespresso app and it is delivered to my door within 2 days. Coffee temp is just warm, not steaming. The pods make a variety of cup sizes ranging from expresso shot size to a carafe size, and the machine reads the pod to automatically adjust water volume accordingly.
I like that the spent pods are recyclable and you get a postage prepaid, sealable recycle bag free everytime you order coffee from Nespresso. Just drop the full bag at a UPS store. Nespresso also sells a slim, hard case container made to hold the bag so it will look tidy. Its like a small, sleek trashcan for the spent pods. Costs 20 something dollars.
I have mine bedside at the moment so getting coffee while warmly in bed is a nice option with the smaller machine footprint. It is a little loud but not ridiculously so. Just keep the water tank full and every morning pop a capsule in, wait about 15 seconds for the light to stop blinking then press the button and you will have a cup of coffee in just a moment.

The machine is constantly breaking down. We have had it ~ a month and have spent half the brewing time trying to make it brew. When it does brew, the result is quite good. But the hassle makes it not worth the excess effort.

I had my original Nespresso from the Nespresso site since 04/2018. It finally stopped working so I bought this one and it worked all of 5 weeks, then it went out. Tried all the fixes but it was just dead. Had to return to Amazon and they were great, as usual. Found out later if you don’t pay the $ 250.00 price tag, the bars and inner workings just aren’t strong enough to make the expresso which is the only thing I drink. So in this case, you get what you pay for. The one made by Breville at the higher price is also good. Buyer beware on this one.

By far the easiest way to make espresso. The “crema” feature is neat and does improve the flavor a bit. There are a couple drawbacks:
1) You can only use capsules from Nespresso. There’s a barcode on each capsule that tells the machine how to brew it. You can buy third-party tools that let you make your own capsules, but you risk damaging the machine if it leaks.
2) Very limited decaf options. I really wish they had a double decaf espresso. Also, more than one flavor of decaf would be nice. I only make espressos in my machine.
3) Most importantly — YOU NEED TO CLEAN IT WEEKLY. There’s a cleaning cycle that uses a whole tank of hot water, and you need to run it at least once a week. I wasn’t doing that, and I almost ruining my machine within six months.

UPDATED: This model develops significant sludge at the bottom of the used pod receptacle that drips out of the used pods. My old virtuo machine didn’t have this problem, there was a fast spin cycle at the end of every brew that pulled all the water out of the pods. This machine dribbles out water at the end never really spin dries the pods. ALSO the water tank does NOT rotate. I recently tried moving the virtuo next to a smaller space and I realized that there is no way to rotate the water tank.
I called amazon who sent me to the nespresso warranty department and they say that having a cup of sludge at the bottom of the used pod container is normal so there is nothing to fix. They claim that the rotating water tank on the amazon page is a mistake on amazon’s part so they will not do anything about that either. I was pretty unsatisfied with the outcome, it was a very “buyer beware” experience.
OLD REVIEW:
This model does exactly the same thing as the previous model.
It takes less counter width but more counter depth.
The previous model was easier to close but I suppose this one is a little more idiot proof.
Get whichever one is cheaper when you are ready to buy.
The big thing about owning a virtuoline is the pods. They can cost over a dollar each and you can only get the stuff from nespresso (offered on amazon), we probably go through 750 pods a year making the cost of pods much higher than the cost of the machine. This makes it a lot more costly to operate than a keurig but it makes amuch better cup than keurig (which will takes like dirty dishwater after you get used to this).
