My husband gifted me a Vertuo Plus with the aeroccino for Christmas and I found your channel Christmas night after everyone left. I’m excited to learn lots of yummy tips from you!
Grinding your own beans is life changer. I make a fresh pot of coffee first thing in the morning and grind beans. Then use my Nespresso for my other cups in the day. Make sure you get a good container that pushes out all the air so the beans stay fresh.
Just some thoughts. Lol. The electric kettle is awesome because you know the exact temperature. I started enjoying coffee beans by making pour overs. Temperature really made a difference. I then went to espresso/latte with a Hamilton beach espresso machine and Hamilton beach grinder. I thought that was good and we were doing something!! Lol. I then bought a Breville Barista Pro. I realize now I didn’t know good espresso/latte!!! Good coffee beans and a good machine and grinder is life changing!! Lol. The way you love coffee the sky is the limit. Get a good scale because I can see you are going to keep going in this hobby. I measure my beans everyday. I measure my pour over still when I make one. You can tell the difference. Good luck and I hope you enjoy the journey!!
I went with the stove top and don’t regret it one bit! It has a thermometer built in and it works just fine. I have the acaia scale and absolutely love it. The breville grinder pro has been wonderful. I believe when you say you can taste the difference when you measure everything versus not so I’m keeping the scale 💯
You are right about the Next… I don’t understand why they keep selling it. I can’t wait to get my essenza mini and start trying new espresso’s! I love many of the accessories you shown and have a lot of them in my Amazon wishlist! Now I think I need glass straws, simple luxuries!Thanks for sharing!
Love all the cute coffee accessories 💛 I’ve never heard anything so true than the vertuo next machine is meh 😑 I had already bought mine when i discovered your channel and then it broke within 6 months 😭 vertuo plus lives in my kitchen now! :)
Hi Alex. I have purchased many of the items you shared. I agree with your assessment its honest and spot on. BTW your Monin discount code works great I placed my order and got it really quick. I am still learning my biggest challenge is that I love strong flavors in my coffees BUT don't like to high sugar content. I tried reducing the amount then I have no flavor. 🙄
Very nice video Alex. Although I have not had any problems with my Vertuo Next I wish I had purchased the Plus. The only complaint that I have on the Next is that it is difficult to open and close. I think that I am over Nespresso coffee anyway. Initially, I was obsessed with Nespresso because I wanted a delicious cup of coffee every time. Although each cup of coffee is good I feel that I still have not tasted MY perfect cup of coffee. Day to day I simply like a good cup of coffee (great flavor that I can taste) with half and half, little to no sugar. I too will explore other options and may go back to my old fashion drip coffee machine if need be.
I recently bought a Nespresso machine from the original line and obsessed. Can you show some lungo recipes. I don’t quit know what to do with my lungo samples and don’t want to waste them!! Love your channel!! It’s been so helpful and entertaining ♥️
I just saw this! A lungo is just espresso that’s been extracted for a longer time. I treat it as espresso so I still use it for lattes. It’s also great with a little bit of creamer for a small cup.
I'm kinda new to ur channel, but because of u I got convinced to buy an nespresso coffee maker😁 I'm still looking for a combination of coffee and syrup that I would like.. thanks for ur videos very helpful.
I would mugs coffee syup and milk frother hand Ice maker Espresso poured cup mat for coffee Bar Spoons More nespresso vertuo pods!!! Espresso machine barista
Since you’re the coffee pro and I’m just beginning... maybe you can recommend me a good flavorful type of hot coffee. I drink Starbucks medium roast unsweetened cold brew. I splash either almond milk or nut pod original into it. I love how it tastes. What do you recommend would be just like that in a hot form? It’s getting cold out and I want something hot vs cold, but don’t know what to have. Pls help!
So sorry I’m getting to this late but I have two acrylic containers I have them linked on my Amazon under coffee stuff. The vertuo one is in the size 12x13
I have the next and it leaks and they won’t send you a new machine. They will only ship it away for repairs and then no coffee for 2 weeks. So appalled especially with how much I spend on pods. I’m just dealing with the leaking because I don’t want to lose it for 2 weeks.
Ask for a loaner while they fix or replace your machine. I had a problem with my vertuo plus and they did this. I ended up with a new machine and two sleeves of coffee!
Take an espresso shot for every time I say “super cute” 🤪

Yay so exciting!
I appreciated this as an overall gift giving ideas video! Especially “teddy” because he makes everything cozy! 🐻💕
Teddy is a cozy must
I bought my Nespresso Vertuo because of you!!! Now I’m subscribed and officially loveee your channel ♥️

I totally agree with you on the Next, mine broke too. Love all the ideas for gifts. 🥰
Thank you Debbie!
Great ideas..found something for my secret Santa gift and myself 🙂!!
Yay glad you found something 🤗🙌🏼

Thank you for the suggestion! I’ll have to gather a list of things like this for when I’m ready 🥰

@@_Alexmojica built in thermometer is key! That’s awesome!

They do need to stop selling it! I think you’ll enjoy the straws
Awe you and my son share the same birthday!!
Awww
Hope you will share your new coffee adventures with us.
I will ☺️
I love your videos so much. I'm going to purchase everything listed.
Thank you 🥺

I wish they stopped selling it!
Hi Alex, finally got my nespresso vertuo plus on black Friday and I love it 😍 also got the little bottles for my syrup, so cute 😍 I'm obsessed.
Yay! They are so cute!

I use stevia in my coffee and when I bake. It’s awesome especially since I’m low sugar and try to be low carb
I always just use sugar free alternative milks to counteract the sugar content

Aww yay! Check out my instagram for everyday coffee recipe inspiration! Congrats on your new machine
I love the chiaro pod as Cappuccino with some monin caramel syrup 😍 but that's more of a mild variant, if you like that 😊
@@gwenifyer I will give it a try for sure. 😊 thanks.
Taking notes, to sent to family 😂😂😂😂
Love this! 😂🥰
I would mugs coffee syup and milk frother hand
Ice maker
Espresso poured cup
mat for coffee Bar
Spoons
More nespresso vertuo pods!!!
Espresso machine barista
Nice ideas!
Deja vu 🤨🧐🤔 I thought I hit rewind at some point 🥲😂😅
Ahhhh. Crap!! My hubby got me the next for Christmas and I’ve already used it so probably can’t exchange!! I’m scared now 🥺🥺🥺
You have a year warranty and even then if it’s 30 days or less most stores will take it back.
@@_Alexmojica I think I’m going to try and exchange for the plus!! We’ll see if I can!

Please refer to my favorites pods videos I think those will help
How do you store your pods? I have both machines and want to minimize the clutter.
So sorry I’m getting to this late but I have two acrylic containers I have them linked on my Amazon under coffee stuff. The vertuo one is in the size 12x13
👍

What is my birthday too❤️❤️March 20
Cool!

Meeeeee🥰
I’m so sad!!! I purchased the Vertuo Next!!!! If it happens to me do I email them saying what happened to my machine? I’m so sad.
You can just call their customer service number on their site! Hopefully you got a good one though
I should have never watched this video 😩😅
😆 hehe
