This Nespresso Vertuo plus Coffe an Espresso machine is so amazing. It comes beautifully and securely packaged and is very easy to set up straight out of the box. It came with a variety box of pods of both coffee and espresso. After cleaning as directed in the instructions I simply filled up the water container and started my first brew, the lid opens up with just a slight upward touch and the pod is easily inserted. Simply close with a downward touch and press the brew button on the top. The machine automatically senses which pod was inserted and disperses you selection accordingly. You can easily top of your cup by simply pressing the brew button again after the first one is finished. There is also a way to program just how many oz you want dispersed each time! This is a great machine and has easily become my new favorite. The only downside is that the pods are only available to purchase online.
