Nespresso Vertuo Next Deluxe by Breville with Aeroccino Milk Frother, Dark Chrome

I like the Nespresso Vertuo Next Limited Edition Bundle as a machine. It's not too noisy, the size is perfect, and the design looks really beautiful in the kitchen without taking up too much space. The performance is very good, it makes a great crema, and overall it's easy to use. My main issue is more about the coffee itself. I'm becoming less of a fan of Nespresso because you're basically forced to buy only Nespresso capsules. Sometimes Starbucks makes Nespresso-compatible vertuo capsules, but other than that, you always have to buy Nespresso, and the cost for each capsule adds up quickly. The coffee is also quite strong, and I can't drink more than two cups a day without getting a headache. With bean-to-cup machines, I can enjoy two to three cups a day easily. So overall, the machine is great, but the Nespresso coffee and pricing could definitely be improved.

I want to give it 2.5 stars. Half the time it's great and I love the flexibility of different style coffees. Although I have nothing but machine issues since purchasing in2021. My last machine lasted over 10 years without a single fault. I won't be buying another one.
