I've had Nespresso machines for over 5 years and have never been disappointed. The great thing about the Vertuo Plus Deluxe bundle is that it is a streamlined no-frills model. The color of the coffeemaker is very elegant and I appreciate the ease of self-cleaning (three pushes of the coffee making button without a pod). My only (small) wish list item is that the water reservoir lid is not the easiest to open and could be redesigned to improve that. Otherwise, it is a great coffeemaker and I'm glad to have it!
