    This is my 2nd Keurig coffee maker of this model. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf The first worked fine for more than 2 years, and I could still get a decent cup of coffee out of it if I fiddled with it when I decided to replace it. The problem I had with my first unit was this: When attempting to brew a cup of coffee, the unit would either keep brewing until the coffee was undrinkable or it would not run long enough and the coffee produced was way too strong. I cleaned the unit as best I could but it did not help. So in the end it was just too much trouble to get a good cup of coffee out of it, so I decided to replace it with a new one, which has been working great since I unpacked it.

So excited now that we've viewed your video. Well done! And we absolutely love your manner. So well spoken, calm and thorough. Wish I could meet you and have a cup.

    Just decided to get one of these after living in an Airbnb with a classic machine. So easy, quick and tasty. Been through every conceivable means of making coffee and convenience is the overriding issue with most methods. Bean to cup machines are too much faff on a daily basis, stove tops require constant cleaning, filter machines just make vaguely coffee flavoured gloop, I’d rather have a good instant than filtered. Pods are a good blend of good tasting coffee and convenience, combine it with a french press for when you have visitors and you are good to go.

    In terms of amount of coffee, i dont drink enough that would fill up a full pint cup, I drink it so that it fills up a normal tea cup. Will this machine be able to distinguish between the two or would it always overfill excessively? Thanks for the great review btw!

    • @richwhilecooper

      It detects how much water to use based on the pod size. The Alto pods make nearly a pint but the single and double espressos use a LOT less water. Also, you can cut off the water if you want or even run a bit more through the same pod to suit your needs. For me, the 'mug' sizes are great for black coffee (I dont buy the huge pods now). Lungo is a good size being inbdtween mug and double espresso. I tend to use double espressos as a base for latte/cappuccino etc. I have a Pixie machine that uses the originaline pods which I increasingly use for short coffees. With the frother, it's very versatile. I spend too much money on coffee though lol

    Thanks for the video, a doubt, this delonghi vertuo plus env 155 has the 5 sizes of coffee? I don't know if it accepts the barcode of the double 80ml espresso. The 40ml espresso, the 80ml double espresso, the 150ml long and the 230ml long one throw you well? Is that on the web it only puts 3 sizes and I have doubts.

    May sound like a daft question. I have a dolce gusto piccolo it is actually quite good but hoping for something better. I never had a nespresso machine before, I take it I can't use this machine to make cappuccinos because it is an espresso machine? Also does it take any capsules with the name nespresso on them or do they have to specifically say nespresso vertuo plus?

    • @richwhilecooper
      @richwhilecooper  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ideally you couple it with milk frother so you can make different drinks with milk. The pods go from Ristretto to Lungo. I have just today bought some compatible pods from Waitrose to try. If I want a full size coffee I use my Vertuo plus which also makes espresso- doubles, lungo, mug and Alto sizes. I use an Aeroccino 3 frother. Some machines from Nespresso combine milk automatically. I have no experience with those though. Yet!

    I've got a manual espresso maker but it's too many steps for me to deal with right now and I've not been able to get my coffee on for so long. I was already looking at this machine but this review has definitely sold me on it! Just undecided on the Aericcino but they have a deal on their website as a bundle with the Vertuo Plus.
    How would you be able to use it with the tall glass coffee you made that almost overflowed? Or for that size capsule, would you just not use milk with it?

      I don't think this machine has chocolate pods. Lattes are made by topping up an espresso with hot frothed milk made with the Aeroccino frother. I'd say about 50% of all the coffees we make are lattes. Typically we useca single or double shot in a tall glass mug topped off with milk.

      Mug sized which I think is 230 ml. Fair advice I just replaced this machine with another vertuo plus (in red) as the old one had developed an intermittent fault. It's technically in warranty but I will be making a teardown video but I'm sure the issue relates to limescale buildup over 3 years. I recommend descaling more frequently say every 2- 3 months. My new machine was £99 with 100 capsules less £50 I sold the free Aeroccino 3 for on ebay. So £49 for a brand new one. It's quieter and I realise the old one is on the way out. I started having problems after I let it get really dirty so I could make a cleaning video. Hubris.

      The capsule stand was from amazon - search for 'Nespresso Vertuo Pod Storage'. There is a wide selection. The mugs were purchased from a branch of Wilkinsons in the UK. We've had them a long time and it just happens they are the right size for a vertuo mug-size. They work well for lattes with a single or double shot.

      @richwhilecooper  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      In short, ours is almost exactly18 months old today with no issues whatsoever. 3rd descale this morning. In long, I clean it thoroughly about every 3rd cleaning cycle and get an old toothbrush in to clear deposits of dried on coffee
      The only issue I could see is if you have a used capsule reservoir that is over-full and your next capsule cannot fully exit (or it sticks due to the machine not being cleaned properly). This would result in the motor acting against a lot of resistance that could damage the mechanism especially if it happens repeatedly. I have seen (some not all) people posting pics of their 'leaking' machines and they are filthy on the outside so one can only speculate on the crud build-up inside!! I dare say living in a hard-water area or an area with poor water-quality would see higher failure rates. I'm shocked at some areas of the world where tap water would be illegal in the uk. We live in a soft water area so we're lucky in that respect. I think water quality is a factor.

Everything is the same except the top is rounded and black plastic. Everything else is exactly the same, though. Can’t believe how good the taste is, and it must be because the heating element gets so hot, so it releases the oil’s from the coffee.
