Second chance
We still wanted to get rid of the Senseo. We had an espresso machine but it broke. And for a while we had bought a Senseo. That temporarily became 2 years,! At a certain point I was fed up and wanted another espresso but I couldn't decide which one, that was not the reason that we have been using a Senseo for 2 years now. I saw an offer from Nespresso and by googling I came across Coolblue and a vertuo machine was offered here. But also the same as second chance. I was hesitant but according to the description only the original box was broken, but otherwise it was like new and complete. So bargain! When he came in we saw that the description was correct and even complete with a sample set of coffee cups and there was still a safety tab from the factory. No dents and scratches! Then why was he sent back?
First time use
My husband tried it out for the first time, but at first no water came through. He poked a hole in the cup and started spinning, but no coffee in the cup. We almost gave up when my husband took the water jug off one more time and clicked on it again. After this tried and it did! We wondered if the previous owners tried it but the same happened to them?
Experience
Coffee heats up quickly, then you choose a cup and cup and the machine makes the coffee for you with 1 press of the button. No settings, nothing, always the right coffee. Very nice and feels very luxurious.
Crema layer is delicious and always creamy.
Cups are still expensive. Hopefully it will be cheaper in the future.
