Perfect Cup of coffee
5/5
My Nespresso Vertuo Next arrived quickly and was extremely easy to setup. It included a sample box of 12 pods, 2 manuals - 1 was a quick start basic guide and the other manual goes into more detail about the different programmes and maintenance procedures. To kick off, just a post transit cleaning programme to run, took about 5 mins and then you’re good to go.
There are 5 different pre-programmed drink sizes (depending on the pod) to suits every taste including Espresso, Double Espresso, Grand Lungo, Mug and Alto (I like using the Alto for my Nespresso Travel mug too, fits perfectly when I add a splash of cream). An issue I had with my older Nespresso machine is that it’s great for an espresso but on larger sizes, it’s too weak, with the new Nespresso Vertuo pods, even the bigger sizes are lovely and strong, no flavour is lost. The option to add extra flow or stop the flow early if you require more or less coffee is very useful too.
The machine produces a great depth of flavour and there’s a varied selection of pods to choose from. It's really worth reading up on all the different varieties available on the Nespresso website and trying a different selection of them.
It also connects to Bluetooth so your machines software can receive updates automatically.
You cannot regulate the temperature of the coffee, which for me is a shame as I like mine hotter than normal. But that being said, it is set to what Nespresso advise is the perfect temperature for the perfect cup of coffee and Nespresso have got it pretty spot on with this one. The Vertuo Pods are more expensive than the original Nespresso pods but in my opinion it is worth it.
