Great Tasting Coffee

We've always loved our coffee. During lockdown we've been buying coffee from all over the country to try, so when we had the opportunity to try Nespresso we jumped at the chance.
We've been using the Nesresso Vertuo Plus for a couple of weeks now and we've been quite impressed!
Pros
The barcode feature is fantastic and means you get just the right amount of water for every cup.
There's a wide variety of pods for diferent mug sizes. We love the Alto sized capsules, but there isn't a huge selection available.
The machine manages to make a great cup of coffee every time. We had a Nespresso machine years ago, which would burn the coffee if you did more than 2 cups at a time. This one is perfect every time!
The coffee choices are great and we've really enjoyed working our way through them. Surprisingly, the decaf is probably our favourite, which makes no sense, but we love it!
It's small and fits in narrow spaces.
It's dead easy to use.
Cons
The barcode feature means that you can't adjust the water to your own liking. Want it a little less strong? You'll have to add more milk, or use a different pod.
Because of the different size capsules, you can't just pick up a capsule from a supermarket. It's own brand only. That does mean you'll get a great cup and no issues, but it does increase the cost slightly. We think it's worth it.
Good luck taking the lid off the water tank without either dropping the incredibly slippy tube or getting a bit annoyed at it. It's very sturdy and well made, but it could do with a slight lip for those of us without huge nails.
The machine does have a couple of quirks - sometimes gets capsules stuck in it (twice now we've opened the lide and there's an old capsule sat there). It doesn't seem to be able to detect the amount of water left either, so it will let you start a cup, even if there isn't enough water to fill your cup.
Summary
All in all, we'd definetely recommend the machine (and have done to everyone we talk to!). It's just so easy to use and more consistent than other methods. It is a little expensive per pod, but not if you like your coffee, or you're buying it from a coffee chain already.
