I love this thing. I do however wish there was more explanation between the vertuo and original for those of us who are really new. I wish since I wanted more of a espresso option but all the video said to get the vertuo so I did. Not realizing the pods for the original were cheaper, can get from third party options also for cheaper also. And it is all espresso. The vertuo is a mixture of coffee and espresso but more options being coffee and only few being espresso. But I do still love it. Just definitely need to do more research into these.
