The Nespresso VertuoLine

As a blogger, I am often asked to try out new products, new experiences. It’s one of the best things about my job, but it’s a also a bit overwhelming at times.

I get asked to take a look at a LOT of things.

Sometimes, it pains me to say no. It really does. And it’s not because I don’t want to try out a new wine or spice, but honestly – there just aren’t enough hours in the day.

But when Nespresso asked me to check out their new Nespresso VertuoLine machine and coffees, something in me just could NOT say no. You see, I had heard about these machines and coffees, how incredible they were, how sophisticated, how rich and expressive they were. Could that all really be true in a home coffee brewer?

Could THIS single serve brewer really outshine the plethora of others on the market?

In a word, You bet. Okay, that was two words, but still. This machine is something else.

Right out of the box, I was impressed. My brewer is chrome in color, and a sexy little number sitting there on my counter. It fits in perfectly in my stainless steel kitchen, and adds versus detracts from the look I am going for.

Sharp.

It was also a breeze to set up – a quick run of water to clean it out, and within minutes, we had brewed our first couple cups of coffee. I started with Hazelino, because the flavor of hazelnut has always won me over. If Hazelino wasn’t impressive, I wasn’t moving forward.

It was beyond impressive.

The froth! I know I should have expected it – I mean, it shows up right there on the box – but I couldn’t believe that little machine could muster such a result.

Incredible.

Now I need to invite every coffee lover I know up to the house to experience this powerhouse, this brew house, this electronic barista. I do fear, however, that someone will try to steal her, and that, my friends, would not bode well.

We are team, Big V and I. I’m not sure what Nespresso did to create such a wonder, but I am thrilled I was lucky enough to experience it for myself.

I think you will love it, too.

Oh, and great news! From November 28 thru January 31, you’ll get $100 Club Credit with machine purchase of $199 or more. That’s great news! That’s coffee, folks! Click through here to see more!

The VertuoLine bundle also comes with our Aeroccino+.

Just pour in some cold, fresh milk and press the button. Very compact and quiet, the Aeroccino+ quickly produces an exceptional quality milk froth, which you can enjoy in many different coffee recipes.

When using the specific hot milk whisk, it can also be used to simply heat milk for a silky Caffé Latte.
