I guess I should preface this with the fact I am a Nespresso fan. I love coffee and I have tried a number of different brands machines over the years but I always come back to Nepsresso, not only for the quality of the coffee but the ease and convenience of this capsule machines. The Pop is compact, good looking and looks good on my kitchen side. The coffee tastes good and there is a decent variety to suit everyone's taste. The recycling scheme is easy and makes me feel a bit better about how much single use stuff I am using. I believe the old capsules have even been used to make bicycles. The biggest negative of the Vertuo range is your ability to get hold of capsules, this has to be Nespresso direct, either online or via their dwindling high street stores. The only negative I can find on this vertuo pop is the size of the gap for your cup. A massive selling point of the vertuo range is being able to have a larger mug of coffee, but a lot of my favourite morning coffee cups are not going to fit under this machine. So if space is limited then this machine is great, but you may have to brew your coffee into one cup and then transfer to your actual mug if you need to, especially if you are using steamed milk. Overall I am happy with my purchase and would recommend to any coffee lover.
Just a note my first one was faulty and I had to get a replacement sent out. This process was very frustrating to say the least.
