Even Better Now! in my review

Well, the new version is even better than the original. The 304 stainless is still beautifully machined, but is now just a tad lighter for better spinning, and there are one or two design changes, which make for a stronger cup with even more crema, and the crema seems sweeter to my taste.You should experiment with coffee brands, grinds, amounts and how hard you tamp. I use the 8oz. Capmesso with an 8oz. glass, and run it till the crema (very thick) gets to about 5 oz. That makes for a dopio, a little over a 2 oz. (double) espresso. To stop the Vertuo just tap the button. Once you settle on what you want you can set the machine to stop with that particular bar code automatically. If you change your mind you can do a factory reset, but my instructions were mistaken (maybe Nespresso fixed this): Mine says "Leave it in the locked position, then…” and means "Leave it in the unlocked position, then…”Have fun and enjoy—it’s a lot easier than an espresso machine and a lot cheaper than a $1.05+ aluminum capsule.

Pros
  • No need to compromise on the taste of your coffee
Cons
  • It may not fit all cup holders
