The Nespresso Barista Box contains everything you need to make coffee shop quality barista-style drinks in moments in your very own home.
The kit contained a white Vertuo Pop machine, which is small and compact in design but still delivers on quality drinks. An Aeroccino3 is also included, which creates the silkiest creamy milk froth for your coffee, together with two sleeves of coffee pods (Melozio and Chiaro), two gorgeous glass mugs and spoons, and I was pleasantly surprised to find an additional selection box of twelve pods to try out different creations.
The coffee machine itself is quite loud when in use, and took some getting used to on an early morning - think of a washing machine on a spin cycle in the next room. Although it wasn't disturbingly loud, it was a lot louder than anticipated.
In terms of making a coffee, the machine is unbelievably quick; fill the reservoir with water, insert a pod, and place your mug below. The machine heats up in 30 seconds, and reads the unique barcode on the pod to produce the perfect brew, you don't have to guess or select any options for temperatures of amounts of water, the machine does it all for you. Perfect for those bleary-eyed mornings!
The Aeroccino3 is just as simple to use - fill up to the line with your chosen milk, put the lid on and press the button to get perfectly hot or cold frothy milk every time.
I question the Bluetooth functionality, as so far it has not changed my coffee making experience with this machine. The instructions are heavily geared up to using the app and enhancing Bluetooth connectivity, however other than finding instruction manuals specifically for my device and short "how to" videos I find that this function offers no real purpose. Perhaps if it were to keep a record of which pods/brews had been made, with some interactive way of reviewing each drink and recommending similar or new brews/flavours then the app and Bluetooth connectivity may be more meaningful and tailored for individual users.
Overall, a powerful compact machine that easily delivers coffee sop barista style drinks at home. An absolute delight to have, and highly recommended.
