Nespresso Vertuo Plus by Breville - My review

- Thanks for watching my video.
I received the machine as I was part of the Amazon Vine program. The Nespresso is made by several makers but the unit I have is clearly marked "made by Breville."
This 13 minute clip is my review of the Nespresso Vertuo Plus coffee machine. This machine allows you to become your own "professional" barista and finally be able to prepare the type of quality drinks you normally spend $4 - $6 or more at your local coffee house.
*UPDATE REGARDING PROGRAMMING* It is a simple process as depends on the Nespresso coffee capsule you will use, as there are different sizes. So, the machine recognizes the amount of water based on the capsule. Should you require more water you simply hold down the green (on) button to obtain your desired water level or strength of coffee.
Great video Mr. Thomas. But I must mentioned that the small capsules are for "Espresso"and the large capsules are for Cappuccino, Latte, Americano etc. That's why you had the overflow. You did put a Espresso cup with a big capsule. The capsules have "bar codes" in order for the machine to know how much water to pour. Happy New Year.
Johnny thanks for watching video. Yes, the video was produced during the early release of the machine and I learned the distinctions about the capsules and put a disclaimer.
Very helpful!!!
Thanks for posting this. I’m wondering what milk you use to froth with.
For the regular latte I used 2%. However, for the egg nogg latte I used premium egg nogg (thicker) and the results were outstanding.
EXXXXXXXXXPRESSSSO. or SPRESSSSO. lol this guy
You are a gentleman,, I gave you a bad comment and you gave me a thank-you. Bonus points to you and not so good for me. I should know better, usually I practice the motto, “If you can’t say anything nice, then don’t say anything at all’’. No excuses for me, I apologize and will remove my negative comment.
I told my wife I wanted to get one, and she told me that I already have two coffee making products and this would be my third. So, she was giving me a hard time and then there was the costs involved. I currently use a Keurig, and somebody said that these machines make a way better cup of coffee than the machine I have does. My wife does not drink coffee so it is a luxury only I enjoy.
So trying to find a video of the machine I found your site and the rest is history. The issues I have is that...
I already own two coffee makers and recently paid a lot for the Keurig. The cost of the machine you are demonstrating is more expensive than what I own and also the pods are way more costly. I get 100 of mine at Costco for about $45.00 making it about $0.45 per serving. I drink about two to three a day. I could buy one, and probably will end up doing so, but I’ll get a little Hell for it.
I appreciate your video, I was just in a mood when I watched it because it’s priced way more than I want to pay in the long run. You only live once, so I will spring for it...we all have our vices....some people can live with Folger’s Coffee, but it’s not for me. I like great beans, my favorite are from the Big Island, and I have visited the
Coffee Makers there and Kona Coffee is my favorite. In Italy, they had excellent Espresso...they have it down like an form of Art.
Thanks...
Dave
David - again, thanks for your comments. They are critical because it allows viewers to read various perspectives. Like you I own/use several machines. I have noticed the prices have come down as once in awhile I have seen "daily specials." For me, the machine is a great alternative in making quality beverages.
This is amazing thank you soooo much I just got this for Xmas. Can you do a video on how to program it please? Thank you
It’s not “by Breville” Breville did not design or have anything to do with the machine. The reason their name is on it, is because Breville distributes the vertuo machine to stores. If you go to a Nespresso boutique you will not find the Breville name on the machine, same goes for Delonghi. Just wanted to mention that, because a lot of people think they designed it. Only nespresso designed and implemented the centrifusion technology.
2JoneH - First of all thanks for watching video. Also, your comments are deeply appreciated. I know Nespresso markets the machine, however I did not purchase from one of their retail outlets. I received the item as part of the Amazon Vine program and they clearly indicated ...."made by Breville." Perhaps, they made a mistake? Here is their description ......"Nespresso VertuoPlus Deluxe Coffee and Espresso Machine Bundle with Aeroccino Milk Frother by Breville"
Tysm for sharing this info. I'm dog sitting at my nephew's house and they have one of these machines and I had no clue how to use it, but I am enjoying a nice latte right now, thanks to you! 👍🏻👍🏻2 thumbs up!
Fuck that machine $ 4.00 - $ 6.00 a day on coffee. $ 180 a month
Thank you for posting this! It was very helpful!
Is there a similar machine that allows you to use bigger capsules for cappuccino? Thanks
Hi Gerard - thanks for watching video. This machine has specific capsules and depending on what you are brewing they may be deeper but the diameter is the same. To your question, I don't know about other machines but I am sure one must be on the market. One more point, as for "bigger" capsules you can also manually add another cycle to produce more product. Hope this makes sense.
@@fredthomasiii4576 thank you Fred appreciate your help
Thank u so much for this video 🙏🏽
How do you turn it on?
Samantha - once you plug it in, it will be operable. when you are ready to brew - open the lid and simply place the cannister in the slot, close the lid and press the green button (circled). Hope this helps.
"A little bit of overflow" hides second cup
Those cuban expresso cups are awesome!
Eduardo thanks for watching video and of course for leaving comment. Heading back to Cuba in a couple of days.
You didn't mention the machine cleaning process before making your first cup of coffee.
Thanks for watching video. That's a great idea so you might want to title your video with the "cleaning process" as since the unit has been on the market......different tips have evolved and that is why it is great to have people like you leave comments as it offers more perspective. Good luck.
Great video. My machine is coming tomorrow, so thank you for making my set up easy.
Thanks for watching video Peachy. Let us know how your unit works
Great video Sir! I just ordered one from Amazon for the office and this video was very helpful.
Bryan thanks for watching my video. You will love the machine as it is an affordable option to allow you to make quality beverages.
big pod for bigggg cup! little pod for little cup
Sorry but this is a bad review for first use you could’ve run the clean cycle first to flush out anything in the water line like your descaling the machine then you proceed to regular operation or brew . And the cup you used is small thats why it overflows remember there’s like 4 sizes of pods for this model. Just helping out 😊
Ballard02 - Thanks for watching the video. My apology that the review did not measure up to your standards but your comments and perspective is appreciated as it gives viewers information on how others view it.
Fred Thomas III TV Channel hi fred thank you for your open mind and positive response , as we all know we all strive for perfection through correct and precise information . I love your video over all 👍🏻
ballards02 hi he mentioned he already used it prior to showing us- so he probably cleaned it.
Several incorrect statements were made in the video concerning the machine. Verify the statements before buying if one/more features are "must haves" for you.
Grady thanks for watching video and for your comments.
No, you don't program your machine....you just use the right capsule for the right cup. You used a mug sized capsule in an espresso cup.
I love mine! I am experimenting with different flavors... im aware theres a couple settings i can put to use but im unsure how to do them!
Preslar - thanks for watching the video. Yes, over time I had to work on various settings, etc. It is a very versatile machine so I am happy that I can produce quality beverages, instead of just basic coffee.
I've just bought one..thanks for showing how to get more water into the cup after the first brewed action.I find the coffee smooth compared to the standard original capsule.People say it's more bitter but i cannot taste bitterness it just tastes nice and smooth with flavour though i had a bit of milk in mine.The unit is very slick in action (smooth) my only downside is with the 400ml size capsule there is only two strengths which is a shame but i GUESS you can use more water in the 200ml capsule to get the 400ml cup size.
If you like bigger don't mind weaker just top it up with hot water. Works wonder for me
How do u turn the dam thing off just unplug it lol
Just did mine but it's not that hot
Good point Carlos. The heat is hot but not blistering which is why sometimes I will place my brewed beverage in the microwave to get that extra degree of heat.
Got my machine for Christmas 2017. Best coffee. Really liked everything about how this makes coffee, until......it started pouring 75% of the cup. Descaled, cleaned endlessly, blew pod after pod. Customer service tried to help. Maker started to fail and none of the coffee was drinkable. Machine might be too complex for it's own good. Not very sturdy machine.
We used it daily 2-3 times. Taking it back to Bed, Bath and Beyond for an exchange. I would not buy this particular Nespresso machine again.
Thanks for viewing the video and for your comments. Indeed, if this machine does not fit your needs return and get another brand or something you have confidence in providing the quality you are seeking. Best of luck.
BBB won't help as the machine I have was discontinued by BBB. They did offer me to buy the more expensive machine. Bed Bath and Beyond has lost their minds.
Great video! The bar codes under the capsules tell the machine how much water to add to each drink. I'm afraid that you had too small of a cup for the first brew. I noticed that you had a small cup for a capsule that was meant to be 7.7 oz caps and that particular cup is meant for the 1.35oz capsules. Besides that, great video and I'm sure by now you've figured out that is states on the sides of the capsule packaging what size cup you should expect to get from each of the individual caps. Keep up the excellent videos!!!
Thanks Gene for watching video and mentioning capsule, which I forgot about once I started to demo. LOL. Anyway, great catch and your feedback is appreciated.
Good video, I’m getting one today, thank you.
Thank you for the demonstration l just got mine
Great. Thanks for watching video and leaving comment. Enjoy your Nespresso!!!!
Not a fan of the foam.
Thanks Thom for watching and of course for leaving your comment.
Great review. Got one for Christmas today and can’t wait to break it out after watching this!
Thanks Matt for leaving comment. I know you'll love your machine.
You had the wrong attachment in the milk heater. For a latte.
Hi Jarry - thanks for your input.
😀
Great video Fred, I enjoyed watching it and was very informative. You have a good style of presentation that does not come across as too flash or arrogant and easy to watch/listen to. My girlfriend is a big time lover of coffee and after a bit of indecision I have decided to finally buy her a coffee machine as a Christmas present, just don't tell her lol. I used to work for Cafe Nero as a Barista so was always telling my girlfriend about how coffee machines should not be the pod types. Anyway after watching your review and reading a bunch of information I can see that pod machines have come along a lot since I used to sell endless coffees. I have decided therefore to buy this machine from Nespresso even though I imagine I will still end up making endless coffees, at least my girlfriend will do some of the work too now that she will soon have a new toy to play with.
Your video is so nice thank you so much :)
Thanks for this video. Have you experienced any leaks?
Hi Jeff - thanks for watching the video. Machine is working A-OK, no leaks
Thanks, Fred. I bought the same machine and have been on the lookout for trouble, but so far no leaks and I love the thing!
Does the frothier also heat the milk?
Hi Taylormarie - great question. Yes, it does......which is a nice feature. There is an on/off button on the frothier.
Thank god I found your video every helpful
Aurora thanks for watching video. Glad it was able to help you.
Worse review ever you needed to filter it through....
JDeva - thanks for watching. I tried, sorry the video didn't measure up to your standards but I appreciate you leaving comment.
great video and very good info thanks
eccs presso is soooo great.... espresso. eSpresso
Thank you for taking time and posting very helpful
Nice video! Just bought mine today and trying to learn how to use it!
Welcome to the club dbrown. Give yourself some time. It offers many features that take time to learn but it is a great machine.
Can you use the original line of capsules for the vertuo plus machine
Thanks for watching video and leaving question. Yes, the vertuo plus capsules are specific. Also, there is a way you can reuse the capsules and insert your own blend.
شكرا،، thank you ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you Mr Cosby!
Great video, very informative. Keep it up!! :)
Nice review very helpful!
FRED! That's whats up!
thanks fred
Wow thank you sir!
Thankyou for your help!:)
How would you rate the quality and taste of the coffee? I really hate the Keurig machines because their coffee tastes weak and watery to me. I like my coffee on the bold side. 😒
Hello Ella - first of all thanks for watching video and leaving comment. Regarding your question you adjust the strength based on which pod you use. There are 3 sizes, so obviously the larger pod will hold more (stronger) coffee. One other tip....you can keep purchasing pods as you use them but I purchase my own espresso as if you are careful you can refill and reuse the pod.
Thanks man for this video.
Appreciate you taking time to watch and to leave your comment.
Awesome review. Am I the only one who loves this mans voice. Disney should hire him for voice overs. Your voice is awesome sir !!!
I just purchased this yesterday but I have a question. I mentioned to the seller doing the demo that I just started drinking coffee a few years ago. Told he that’s all I drink but I wonder what is express lol seriously I’m curious is this coffee or not and does this machine that I didn’t open yet make regular coffee ?
Lol Lauren. Yes this will elevate your coffee experience while giving you the tools to experiment like the pros.
Hey thanks for the great review that's awesome and to the above poster If you go on nesspresso website and look at the capsules they have different size castles for different size fortunes and they have all kinds of varieties within those capsules and different flavors and they do have coffee ones that will give you that nice rich Creamy head on the coffee that adds to the flavor I don't own one yet but I plan to get 1 because I want that nice rich coffee experience and that's what you're gonna get from this whether you make espresso or read regular coffee capsule night still gives you an experience unlike any other coffee as in this preso uses the 1% coffee out there sourced of highest quality coffee from I think Switzerland or Italy I forget what the customer service rep told me when I called to ask questions you can get the Capsules directly from their website or a nespresso Boutique store and you can search for them on their website
It's espresso....not expresso. A true barista would kill you.
Gary thanks for your comment and bringing this issue to our attention.
Probably why he has a Nespresso Machine. Dang baristas.
Yikes. Not the best review of all time.
Did you say eXpresso? Like a 5 year old?
HEAT THE CUP!! Always heat the cup!!
Great Idea!
