So it is a single serve machine (make sure you get a Vertuo if you want full cups of coffee), and yes it uses pods. So it's like a Keurig, but that's where the similarities end. The Keurig makes a decent cup of coffee for the price, the K-Cups can be had for 40 cents a pop, give or take. Again, the coffee is decent. But my old Keurig was not getting as hot any more, and the pump was getting weak. It had a good long life, so no complaints there. I kept reading about Nespresso, and found it interesting. So I took the plunge. Yes the pods are more expensive, but I knew that going in.....
The machine is very simplistic, a water tank, an empty pod collection tank and an on/off button. You can simply put in a pod of the desired beverage, hit the start button and that's all. The pods are created for different beverages, and sizes. I am a coffee drinker so the 7.7 oz pods work for me, but I like a little more coffee in my mug. So, for the certain pod size, one can customize it to brew a little more than that 7.7 oz size, and it will remember the customization the next time you use that size pod. It's in the instruction manual. So there is some customization there. They also make a 14 oz Alto pod too. Will be trying that once my pod shipment comes. It doesn't have a clock on it or a tocuhscreen and all of that. It's simple and looks good in the kitchen, and smaller than the Keurig, so less space taken. I will add though, I cannot fit any of my standard travel mugs under the unit, so I cannot directly brew into them, so one drawback. Other machine designs from DeLonghi or Breville may allow for them, check the specs before ordering if that is a big deal for you.
The coffee. It's really good. I preheat a little half and half and then brew the coffee. It does have what they like to refer to as a "crema" head on the brewed coffee. It does add a little extra to the experience. It is a fuller flavor than a Keurig. Don't let the whole crema, finished coffee color fool you, it's got some body and full flavor. It doesn't look like a normal black cup of coffee. Again, it is good coffee. Some have mentioned it is not as hot as a Keurig, or traditional drip maker. I agree, but it's not warm or cold or anything. I'm not one to want to wait a long time for my coffee to cool down. It is a very hot, drinkable temperature. I'll try an instant read thermometer on it. But if you want scalding hot coffee that you need to dump a ton of milk in it too cool down, then this won't be for you. Oh yeah, and it's good coffee. ;)
Time will tell if I grow to love this, I'm still in the honeymoon phase. And I'll try some different pods and see how they all go. I need a machine for work too now!
***Update. Maybe I was unlucky or what but ordering pods from Nespresso direct is slow as....I ordered on 12-3 and got a shipping notice that product has shipped. Now it won’t arrive until 12-23. That’s not efficient. They person I spoke to the other day said my order was going to deliver on 12-16....they need to get their act together. I’ll report back if the next shipment does better or worse.

Happy birthday to me!
I ordered this for my birthday. I finally received it a couple of days ago and was planning on waiting a week before I wrote a review. However. It didn't take long to figure out how to use it and I have to say the resulting coffee is DELICIOUS.I have had a regular coffee percolator, 3 Keurigs, an old Corelle ceramic percolator with steel basket, and finally a Ninja Coffee Bar. I did not like the way coffee made with the Keurig tasted plus you were stuck with either weak coffee or using two pods. One size does NOT fit all. Then we got the do-it-yourself pod refills but by then I was done with the Keurig. Not to mention the mess made with refilling the pods.The Corelle made GREAT coffee but when you only drink one or two mugs a day you wind up having to reheat in the microwave. Then it doesn't taste the same as fresh brewed.When I got the Coffee Bar I thought my problems were solved. It's a WONderful coffee maker allowing you to fresh brew one cup, or a mug, or a travel mug, or half a pot, or a full pot. It also allows you to make faux lattes and has a whip on the side for frothing hot milk. Oh and you can brew up iced coffee as well. But it just wasn't what I wanted as far as flavor. I tried several types of coffee. And here I need to add a disclaimer ... I only drink decaf. And before someone jumps in and says that's my problem ... the lattes I get at Starbucks have PLENTY of flavor. But making them at home with Starbucks decaf just wasn't the same.Enter the Nespresso.Oh and I also picked up the lovely glass topped drawer to hold the vertuo pods. That arrived days before the machine thanks to weather in SLC. Anyway I was concerned the machine wouldn't fit under my cabinets once it was on top because of the measurements given in the description. Well the height measurement, just so you know, is done with the top part fully opened. It fits just fine.So on to the first cup (and yes, I did order a three pack of the decaf offerings). I had read in other reviews that it doesn't produce a very hot cup of coffee. So I made sure to turn the machine on and leave it on for 9 minutes (that's the automatic shut off timer) and then brewed my first cup. Tepid. After I dumped in a bunch of cream. Off to the microwave.Second time I ran it for 18 minutes and used the aeroccino. Um. Not a good idea to use the spring attachment on the whip and the top max line for milk. It REALLY whips up the froth. Since I turned off the aeroccino too soon THAT cup wasn't hot enough. Back to the microwave.This morning I used the Intenso pod and I knew it only brewed 40 ml but I still was "Where's the rest of the coffee???" once it stopped brewing. OK OK ... whip the milk. This time I took out the spring and filled to the max line (use whole milk ... mmmmm). Not much froth on top but HOT milk and HOT coffee. No need for the microwave. and may I just say -- DEEElicious!Sorry Ninja. You are destined for the pantry to only come out when company is here.Do I recommend this machine? Absolutely. Yes the coffee is expensive but I only drink one or two mugs a day. I am, however, going to have to beg Nespresso to make an Alto pod in the decaf. Other than that, this baby gets 5 stars across the board.
