Nespresso GCA1-US-BK-NE VertuoLine Coffee and Espresso Maker, Black

This is really a great all-purpose machine. I usually drink coffee but on occasion would like an espresso. I had one of their espresso machines and didn't get much use out of it. I am finding this machine to be a joy to use. The process is very refined and even sounds high tech, which of course it is. Open the lid, slip a capsule in, close and turn and push the button. That's it. In a matter a few minutes you get espresso or coffee with a HUGE crema foam on top. Use a clear glass cup and you can see the swirls of different bands below the crema. Very impressive. Warm up is a matter of seconds before you can use it. Touch the button to turn it on and by the time you insert the capsule and turn the lever, you are just about ready. The capsules eject into a storage bin on the right side which holds a lot of them. The water tank while it looks small, actually holds a lot of water. This is a rugged machine that gives you options of regular sized coffee or espresso. Now, you don't get a huge selection, but your taste will certainly find the right one. It comes with a nicely packaged assortment of all the options, with a listing of where the coffee is from, intensity, etc. Nice compact and convenient. Yes, the coffee/espresso pods are only available from Nespresso and are pricey. But not as pricey as your local coffee house. I used Keurig coffees as well and enjoy these as a special treat. I was intrigued with all those TV commercials and I am glad I got it. You would be as well if you decide to go ahead. You can always sample the coffee at one of their stores if you are close by to one.

Total dud. Very disappointed. Water will not flow through the system at all, right out of the box, after following first time use instructions. Same thing happened with my friends Nespresso machine. Dud. This is disappointing as the coffee is incredible if the darn thing would work!

I can't be any happier with this purchase. Expensive but worth the price. Easy to use. The flavor and texture of the coffee is just like going to a coffee house and paying $5.00. I definitely recommend this brand and model coffee machine to anyone who wants a great cup of coffee!

Love my new Nespresso. So glad I waited for this one. Makes a perfect cup of coffe, although a little strong, with crema. I've also enjoyed cappucinos. Fyi you don't need a frother. You can easily make froth and steamed milk at home with no additional tools. I've only used it for a week now but so far so good!

The coffee maker is wonderful. There was an issue with what was included in the box. The online product description and the box state the coffee maker comes with a "Tasting Box" of 12 capsules so you can try some of the coffee and espresso available for this machine. When I open up the box and took out the machine, there was NO "Tasting Box". Since the box was not taped shut, it was obviously taken out by someone along the way. A real shame to be expecting it to come with some samples to try and not get them.

Don't buy refurbished espresso makers! I'm returning this product today. Out of the box, I plugged it in, added water to the reservoir, and attempted to start a cleaning cycle per instructions. It blinked twice, went back to a solid light, and no water ever flowed.

The machine is loud. Think two lice if you live in a small apt or house with someone who will be asleep when you make coffee...you'll give them a wake up call for sure! The quality of the coffee is great and I like that they use the the European method to reduce the caffeine in decaf coffee.

Great little machine. Makes a great espresso. Love the taste of the Nespresso coffees. Would highly recommend it to anyone who likes a great...not a good but great cup of coffee. Only down side I would say is the pods are a bit pricey and there are no other brands that fit this machine.

Excelente cafetera, el café es muy rico y la cafetera es la más práctica de la línea Vertuo ya que tiene dispensador de cápsulas y es la más estética de todas.

Soy amante del buen café, es una excelente cafetera y te tomarás una excelente taza de café y sobre todo, hay una extensa variedad de sabores y cafés de todo el mundo.

No dispensa nada de agua. Intenté pasar por el proceso de limpieza, pero no pasa nada. Intenté simplemente ejecutarlo con un par de pods, y todavía nada. Intenté esperar 15 minutos, como sugieren las instrucciones, e intenté abrir y cerrar la tapa para ver si se reiniciaba. Actualizar: Después de 3 restablecimientos de fábrica, finalmente comenzó a funcionar

Tenía la cafetera clásica de Nespresso e hice el cambio por la diferencia en tamaño de las tazas que regularmente hacia. Al principio me costó acostumbrarme más al momento ya tengo mis líneas de café favoritas identificadas. La máquina es súper fácil de usar e identifica el tamaño de taza en automático, es bastante bonita aunque eso sí comparada con una cafetera clásica Nespresso es muy grande.

Lllego perfecto, con todo lo que se había ofrecido, muy buen producto para los amantes del café
