each capsual is a differant size so the one you used it for an 8oz mug as it is a coffee capsule also each capsule has a different intensity rating and different profiles on how they would taste or should taste and everything . they give a great description on there site and the one use used was the Decafe www.nespresso.com/us/en/order/capsules/vertuo/decaffeinato-vertuo-coffee-pods
I bought a Breville Vertuo just over a week ago. I absolutely love it. I don't drink espresso, but I make capuccinos and lattes. They always taste great and I especially like the lack of mess. I've owned a Jura and a Miss Sylvia and never was able to make a consistently good espresso with either of them. This machine is great.
He said in previous videos that he constantly has people saying he's so ugly and looks like there is something wrong with him so he decided not to have his face anymore as it just takes to much attention away from the videos! I know how weird, don't know why you'd care what random people think.
@@LifestyleLab_ lmao I was only messing 😂 😂 I honestly thought its a thing you did so you'd be different to others and known as the headless review guy which is good for advertising!
That's the same thing they said about me 🤣 but I had to explain the reason why my face was not in my videos is because they were done from my phone they were table top so my phone was in front of the item id be talking about and I couldn't have it up propped on something for fear that it would fall and break.
My son, let the pod's spin, allow the Crèma illusion.. to be believed! For it is a far better thing to discard a hermetically sealed aluminium capsule (the optimal way to lock in freshness once the coffee is harvested and processed in its country of origin preventing oxidation) ...than to face the mess factor and subsequent cleanup caused by ground espresso! Simplicity can be beautiful!
Not quite sure what the hype is after seeing this. Never knew there was a market for people who like thier coffee to only be 50% of the cup and 50% foam. Very wierd.
So the crema is supposed to be stirred after the brewing process. This will return all that flavor back into the coffee itself. This machine literally got me onto black coffee its so smooth. And their flavor range can suit everyone’s pallet. Unlike K-Cups which flavor stops at 4 or 5, nespresso goes to 12!
Nice video. I tried my first Nespresso Virtuo cup this morning and it was on par with my pour overs at home. Stopped Keurig a year ago - too bland. Bought a Virtuo machine for ~ $110 at Target, and got a $25 gift certificate on top of that.
Just so you know. Real crema does not require fresh ground coffee, just the right amount of pressure. I make excellent creamy not foamy espresso using pre ground coffee in my little plastic $60 Nanopresso. It just takes a bit of trial & error. But it is a lot of labor. And to get a double shot requires additional purchase of their barista kit. I use 40 pumps to get my best coffee. I guess it's a good upper body workout.
*I know you needed to keep the camera view low for the machine and coffee making portion. But after when you were done, just listening to you talk with your face out of frame was kind of weird, lol*
@@LifestyleLab_ *Yeah! I already checked out some of your other content, lol. I was actually interested in this machine. I've been using the Vertuo Next and it's giving me a lot of problems. Already went through 2 within a year and they both broke. But how does this one compare to the Vertuo round head? I noticed you didn't refer to this machine as the flat head, so I'm not sure if your version is entirely a different one. (There's just so many models, it's hard to keep track).*
If you want to drink espresso, go with something from the original line. OR look into the Breville Bambino / Bambino Plus to save some money over buying pods, and get better coffee quality
Hi thank you for the video. I have both traditional and vertuo machine. Somebody gave me a lot of vertuo cups now but I prefer espresso coffee. Can I drink vertuo long coffee (230ml) as espresso coffee (80ml) or is too strong and not good?
You may get a bolder coffee size flavor if you use a higher intensity capsule like the Stormio, Intenso or Odacio. Your red capsule is a Decaffeinato with an intensity of 6. Not light, but not bold either.
so I looked at a lot of brim and Breville devices and they all had leaking issues and one of them was even known for exploding. do you have any suggestions for a real at-home espresso machine that won't leak or explode and costs $200 or less?
For under $200 you aren't going to find a "real" at home espresso machine. The cheapest machine thats a step up from Nespresso is the Breville Bambino (not Bambino Plus). Under $200, Nespresso classic is definitely your best bet
@@LifestyleLab_ I just scored a nespresso evolu with the frother for just under $200. I’m going to use a reusable stainless steel pod and grind my own espresso. I looked at the bambino but al the reviews said it leaked like crazy.
I recently bought the original nespresso pods system it’s a Sage (breville) Creatista Plus Coffee Machine and love it ,I tend to go for strong coffee pods
@2M Reviews Good afternoon, may I ask... where you purchased, or the brand of the double walled glass used in the video? It looks wider and much sturdier than most that I’ve seen online.
Great presentation! I like lattes and I have both the Kuerig and this machine. I considered getting rid of both and purchasing the Nespresso Original mostly because the pods are more available and cheaper. However, I decided to dedicate time to the Vertuoline machine before discarding it altogether. After making a "proper" latte, I found it gave me pretty much what I wanted. Also, I realized that the Original machine does not make coffee. The Vertuoline makes both coffee and espresso depending on the size of the capsule you use. My dislikes about the machine are the foam and the reduced availability of purchasing the capsules- many companies make and sell the Original line pods but for some reason, not the capsules. I hope the makers of Nespresso Vertuoline will consider opening up the capsule market so other companies can sell the capsules. I hope the makers will also find a way to program the capsules to not make "crema" when making a cup of coffee.
You can remove the foam with a spoon, though I don't see the point. In my opinion its one of the characteristics that set the Vertuoline apart from the others. It makes the coffee super creamy, specially when you top it with a nice frothed french vainilla creamer. In regards to cheaper compatible capsules, Target and other retailers sell Starbucks Vertuo compatible capsules. So far they are the only ones endorsed by Nespresso, though they don't seem to taste as good as the originals in accordance with some reviewers here in TH-cam.
Believe it or not, I bought a brand new Nespresso Vertuo at a garage sale last year. Best pod system I ever owned. I also have a Keurig because it was too expensive to brew with the Vertuo pods all the time. A month ago I bought silicone caps instead of foil to try refilling the pods without the fuss. Then I tried something else. I emptied a K-cup into the Nespresso pod. If you use a bold pod and tamp it down slightly it makes a better cup than in the Keurig. I'd like to see a video where you either refill a used pod or use one of the reusable ones now on the market for this machine. I'd recommend the silicone top though. No accidental leaking of grounds.
The texture is fine if you're into cappuccinos, but I find the taste of the foam itself is quite offputting. But you're right! Absolutely to each their own!
During World War II, American soldiers stationed in Italy felt the traditional Italian espresso was too strong for their taste and opted for a watered-down version. They wanted a drink that tasted similar to the drip coffee they had back in America, thus, the Americano.
@@onlinejfk I did not know that. Most Americans do like a little weaker coffee. Not me and my family at all. My wife is from Louisiana where most of the coffee in the world comes out of. Grown in South America shipped to New Orleans over 400 years. My family was in the Philippines during WWII.
@@LifestyleLab_ Do you have any suggestions on a real espresso machine? I was spoiled when I was young my parents were given an outstanding espresso machine from Italy. It was brass and copper. I can’t find another one. And I have not been able to get one as good.
The Evoluo has a larger water tank, and higher power heating element. Otherwise they are essentially the same apart from the obvious aesthetic differences
According to all I have read the foam on the top is supposed to be stirred back into the coffee once it has finished brewing as it contains all the oils. Secondly you also didn’t allow the cup to completely finish its brewing. Each pod uses a set amount of water to create the perfect cup. Considering you were doing a review would have made sense to use the right cup?? Especially when considering the taste of the coffee.
I just bought this and wish I had watched this first, I like really hot coffee and this is not hot enough for me. I wonder if I can add hot water to the water part before making the coffee.
@@LifestyleLab_ really thanks id picked upthe breville over the delonghi by mistake some have said breville dont get hot i like delonghi looks but heard breville frother is better im torn should i return or keep it got it this past Tuesday.

This was a very thorough review. Thanks for sharing.
The taste is also subject to the pod you are using and your own taste.

No, you can not

This is just the version we had in house! No reason to choose one over the other as they essentially all perform the same, using the same system

That's not an expresso it's way to big an expresso is 25ml, that's more like 100ml
Who ever said it was an espresso?
Do you mean ESPRESSO?? (wtf is eXpresso)
They have smaller pods for this line for espresso
They make both espresso and coffee. The bigger ones are coffee.
nice review! appreciate if you can also show a close-up and top view of the expresso, esp when you criticise its "crema"

Decent review could’ve done without all your rambling about how you don’t like there Crema..
