I have a Nespresso virtuo as I like black coffee and like a variety. Currently love their pumpkin spice and their gingerbread ones. Zero fat and calories too ! Have a been to cup but its in a cupboard and never used as I prefer Nespresso taste (and quite frankly ease of use for this lazy bear)

Nespresso actually has two main lines of coffee pods. One is the original line with smaller capsules that are best for making espresso based drinks. The other is the Vertuo line with larger capsules that apparently work better for making other types of coffee drinks, but I'm not familiar with this line..
Just to echo above , with the Vertuo machine you can only buy Nespresso pods direct . Whereas with the other Nespresso machines there are many choices available including a range of Starbucks pods which are actually licenced by Nespresso and sold in supermarkets. Saw a lot of Italian ones in TK Maxx yesterday and have bulk bought off Amazon too . I have a Krups Nespresso , love it !

Just adding about the vertuo pods. They have all sizes, they cover espresso, double and various larger sizes like mug and bigger. They have a lot more of the smaller ones now than they did when I first got it, so it allows everyone to use it. regardless of what type they want. DH uses the mug ones and adds a splash of milk, i use the espressos and heat up a cup of milk and add the pod direct on top from the machine. They are great.. really nice.
I actually ordered 100 pods this morning as they have an offer atm where you pay for 80. They will last us ages as I don't have coffee everyday and DH has the tassimo ones too which are much cheaper. x

I love our Krups Dolce Gusto Genio S Plus. Very easy to use.
My favourite pods are Flat White. ☕️

For those who say their Tassimo coffee wasn’t hit enough, I have a Tassimo MyWay and you can set the temperature to three levels. The hottest is perfect.

Another vote for Nespresso Vertuo. We bought it to replace the tassimo as I found the coffee a bit bitter and the pods with milk always seemed too sweet. We have the milk frother too and combined with instant Cadbury hot choc powder it makes a lovely hot choc. DH likes his coffee at scalding temperatures and he could never get the Tassimo ones hot enough
Their iced coffee range is lovely and we bought some gingerbread, coconut and vanilla syrups for mixing it up a bit when we want. Their customer service over the last 18 months has been outstanding. We are also pleased we can book a recycling collection when we have deliveries as well. |

Snap!.I bought one for dh as am xmas present last year and even our son who is an ice king usually uses it sometimes. The aldi pods are great. I add a bit of boiling water to my cups as I like stuff very hot. Does the job quick and easy and doesnt take up a lot of space.
