I have been using another brand of single cup coffee machine for a long time, but after having a cup of coffee made by a Nespresso VertuoLine I was convinced to make an upgrade. Hands down, the quality of the coffee and the brewing method produces a great tasting cup of coffee with the natural crema on top. The per cup cost of Nespresso is higher than most of the other brands, but it is worth the extra money in my opinion.
