Easy to use and great tasting…

As someone who enjoys drinking coffee but has only ever had lower end machines it was exciting to upgrade to a Nespresso as obviously the brand has a great reputation.
Upon arrival the Vertuo was very easy to set up, take it out the box, plug it in and attach and fill the tank. Personally I fill the tank with bottled water as this avoids any potential limescale build up if you live in a hard water area. Overall this is by far the simplest coffee machine I've used (in a good way!) as it’s literally a single button press. The machine reads the barcode on each coffee capsule and adjusts the settings automatically. This does mean that you should make sure you have the right size cup underneath! As if you put a small espresso cup and it’s a lungo capsule then it’ll overflow so worth noting.
Taste and variety wise the machine is great, yes as noted by others you can’t get any third party capsules so the min price you’ll be paying is around 50-60p a capsule which is very reasonable in my opinion. There’s a good variety online though it’s a shame there aren’t any hot chocolate capsules for those with a sweeter tooth. I like that they include a pod recycling service and ordering new capsules is very quick and painless.
The machine is also much quieter than others I’ve used which is a bonus. Overall I would give it a 9/10. The two areas of improvement I’d like to see are a revised drip tray that allows various size mugs (you have to remove it to use the machine with standard size coffee mugs) and an introduction of hot choc pods (though I understand that it’s primarily a coffee machine).
If you want an easy, affordable way to make great tasting coffees then look no further!
