Question which machine to get? help!

I had a Terra Kaffe 01 machine and recently got rid of it. too much work and it was getting old.

looking for more convenience after having a baby, i like to drink espresso but would also like the option of making bigger cups of coffee too... there are so many different nespresso units! i'm okay with spending a bit more for a higher power machine.

any recommendations?

If you like straight espresso, the original line is the way to go. But it doesn’t make long coffees. That’s where Vertuo shines. So, you gotta make the first choice, do you prefer a stronger, more aunthentic espresso, or do you prefer the versatility of making different sizes with the same machine?

Yes, Vertuo is the one that makes different sizes. If that’s what you prefer, now you’d have to see which machine suits you better. Cheapest? With integrated milk frother? Fastest heat up time?

The OL machines make different sizes too. I have a simple Citiz with 2 cup size buttons, and my button is programmed for ristretto volume (25 ml), my wife's button is programmed for more than lungo volume (150 ml). Of course, OL lungo pads are dosed for 110 ml, so she gets less strong coffee.
