Nespresso earns largely positive reviews for delivering fast, consistent, crema-topped espresso and coffee with broad pod variety, stylish machines, and an effective capsule recycling program, so yes—it works. Reviews also flag drawbacks: noticeable brew noise, coffee that cools quickly, occasional machine jams or failures, limited third‑party/Vertuo pod compatibility, and mixed opinions on taste versus café espresso.

I love my Nespresso! The seasonal and unique flavors keep things fresh with variety and I love that. It makes me look forward to my coffee every morning as a little ritual. If i had to complain, it would of course, be about price. I wish capsules were more affordable but they do run promotions often.

This machine is convenient if you want quick coffee without the hassle of grinding beans or complicated machines. Super easy to use with the one button and the addition of the creama on top makes this model stand out. That said, the pods are expensive and with this machine you’re locked into the specific Vertuo pods. It can also be a bit noisy when brewing. However the pros definitely outweigh the cons and I love that I can push one button to get a quick coffee on my way out the door to work.

I love this variety of dark roasts from Nespresso! Overall they had an intense coffee flavor with each having unique notes. I liked the Palermo Kazaar (spice notes) and the Ispirazione Napoli ( fruit notes) the most. Each time there was a perfect layer of crema at the top. I used the lungo (4 oz) preparation for all and was satisfied with the strength. Definitely will be getting more and trying more varieties.

Absolutely love this Nespresso machine! It makes rich, flavorful coffee in minutes, and the milk frother creates perfectly creamy foam for lattes and cappuccinos. It’s easy to use, easy to clean, and looks beautiful on the countertop. Great quality and definitely worth the investment.

I love my little Nespresso machine! It makes delicious coffee that’s good enough for homemade that I don’t feel like I’m missing much if I dont make it to the coffee shop. I like that you can set the volume based on the cup or mug of your choice. It’s nice to be able to pretty much set it and forget it.

Amazing taste of these pods. We also got glass cups after purchasing several sleeves of capsules and what a treat to have the espresso and coffee in such stylish gifts! We love our nespresso, just wish the capsules were reusable or could make multiple coffees from one pod?

I purchased my first Nespresso machine last year and never looked back. The machine is easy to use and has a sleek design. The prices of the pods are expensive but the quality is there. I wish they sold it in my local stores.

Taste great. Shipping is fast and convenient. Love that they recycle their capsules. Hoping to upgrade to the Breville Nespresso soon!

Love my Nespresso so much - legit a staple in my day! It is the perfect latte experience at home. Sooo easy to brew a frothy yummy coffee before work each morning. The only downside if that it is an expensive machine so you can't let the calcium from your water build up in it - you must clean it often! Also the pods can be pricey when buying often, but not too bad when Im working full time lol!

I’ve dabbled in using a keurig, moka pot and even a manual espresso machine, but it can be hard to make the effort to use when I want to make more than a double shot of coffee which is all the time. The Vertuo Pop is a great machine and is small enough to not make too much of a dent in my very limited counter space in that area. The Sunny Almond Vanilla flavor is crazy good.

Overall most of the flavors I’ve tried from Nespresso were rich and nuanced. I really enjoyed the Reviving Origins from Colombia. The machine I got also is quite stylish.

We recently got the Nespresso Vertuo Plus and we’ve been really surprised at the quality of coffee and espresso this little machine provides. We are owners of a Breville espresso machine and I have a Keurig at work. This machine is my favorite for quick and easy coffees. Pros: Quick Brew, Water Tank, No Clean-Up, Sleek Style/Color Choices, Amazing Taste/Quality/Selection, Small Footprint, Great Hassle-Free Recycling Program Cons: Pricey Coffee Pods, Louder Brew

Nespresso makes a good product, and I keep the machine and bring it out and set up when i have guests who enjoy the convenience. But personally, I don’t use it. I can’t get past the amount of waste the pods create, and for what it is, I think it’s overpriced. What really puts me off is the marketing. The huge celebrity endorsements and the in-mall boutique stores trying to create some luxury experience around making coffee. It just feels unnecessary and out of touch. I’d rather they focus on offering a great product at a fair price, without all the theatrics.

I have to say, I have had only positive experiences of enjoying the delicious espresso you can make with a nespresso machine! I only wish the pods were cheaper. But it is amazing how quick you have a delicious creamy coffee

Nespresso is such a must have in my life. If I have to budget crunch, I’ll cut out so many other expenses before my nespresso. I go to bed thinking about how great it will be to make my coffee in the morning. But also they always bring it with the limited flavors. I love trying something new. And sometimes they become my absolute favorite.

My Nespresso machine is approaching 10 years old, and it still works great. My biggest complaint is how loud it is, though perhaps they have fixed this issue with newer models. I also appreciate that it's fairly easy to clean.

I’ve been drinking nespresso everyday for the past ten years. Ten years ago, it was extremely difficult to find a good straight espresso in the US. While it may have gotten somewhat easier, my nespresso machine keeps me from going out for coffee.

This definitely makes a high quality cup of coffee, and it is about the same price as a Keurig. I guess it is just based on your preference as to the types of coffee that are offered. I was gifted a Nespresso Virtuo, and so far it works great. I wish there were more coffee pods available, but they have a decent variety still, and the coffee maker looks modern, and still fits with the rest of the kitchen.


I am obsessed with my Nespresso machine. I love how easy it is to use the espresso/coffee pods and it's fun to try all the exciting flavors and new releases. The drinks come out with so much crema it's amazing. Having the milk frother makes a difference too. I literally use my machine everyday. I can't live without it. Yes, the pods are pricy, but I wait for discounts for extra savings if I can!
