OK, I'm torn by indecision because I wouldn't normally dream of spending this much money on a coffee machine - couldn't justify the cost. But we have just been given a bit of money to spend on ourselves. .
We went on holiday recently and had use of a Nespresso pixie machine - loved it. Went to buy one but discovered Nespresso have deals on at the moment with the Vertuo machine. I know the drawback with the Vertuo is the price of the pods and the fact that you have to buy the (expensive) nespresso pods. But is it a better machine?
FWIW drink black coffee, so does DH and our favourite bit is the crema, frothy bit on top.
