The Nespresso Vertuo machine is very easy to operate. Coffee or espresso can be hot and ready in a minute with little more than the push of a button. The milk frother makes perfect hot, frothy milk for coffee drinks or even hot chocolate and is easy to clean. I love that Nespresso recycles their capsules with an easy mail-in bag. The only drawback is that this machine only takes the special Nespresso pods, so you don't have the option of brand variety. There are a few pods in the Nespresso variety pack that I like, but I really wish I could purchase cheaper pods or pods from coffee brands that I really love.
