I just bought the Nespresso Vertuoline and am really disappointed with the temp. of the coffee &amp; steamed milk. (140 degrees) How hot is this coffee?

I apologize for not giving a more clear answer. I've never had coffee from a Vertuoline so I can't comment on it. But I've made close to one hundred lattes on my De'Longhi machine and have been happy with the temperature of coffee and milk with every cup. I haven't ever measured the temperature of the espresso and steamed milk made from my machine. And I don't own a thermometer to do it--or I would measure it and give you the results. But I drink several lattes each week--and sometimes each day--from Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, etc., and the temperature of the milk and espresso made by my machine seems to be the same--if not very close--to those.

Frank, my wife loves coffee and so do I. The temperature after brewing (and even after letting the coffee stand for awhile) is much too low. Hot??? ...not a chance. Like the size of this unit but the performance leave MUCH to be desired. Suggestion....look elsewhere.

I use nespresso virtuline every day and it's very hot , its hot coffee , maybe adding cold milk may bring it down some but the nespresso puts out great hot coffee .

Theodore, I'm just like you, after a great espresso with thick crema. How did it work out for you? Thanks, Don

I measured the temperature at 160 deg.F. This is the highest brew temp that can be set in the settings. With good quality espresso beans you get about a 1/8 to 1/4 in. of crema for a double shot.

I'm not sure of the actual temperature but I am very pleased with it. This Russell Hobbs model replaced a $300 Viking Coffee Maker that was horrible even though I tried to fix it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c05Ts6ob1BE

I never once had an issue with the temperature being low. If anything, I've always added a little water too cool it off. I don't care for scalding hot coffee though.

Hi Rajeev........It's definately stesming when finished. I pressed it twice the first time I used the Nespresso and, for my taste, it was almost too hot. I use the Nespresso daily and have no regrets for this purchase. Let's face it....to get "coffee house" perfection we'd need to buy a MUCH more expensive machine. I'd purchase this machine again....and have recommended it to friends who are also very happy with it. Hope this helps. Jean

Not sure my answer went through from cel phone.I dont have a working food thermometer, so I can't tell you what temperature it reaches. However, it has always seemed plenty hot, any hotter and it would kill the taste. So I've never thought to check the temp. I've found it to be a perfectly good coffee maker, pretty efficiently serving up a strong cup of hot coffee which I take black. It 's not as good as some of the jura capresso barrista complexes that do everything, but its not $1000 either.

I never took the chance to get the temperature. But it only gets the milk warm and not hot as opposed to using a steam wand. I returned this machine and got me the Gaggia classic. Can't beat fresh made coffee.

I froth the milk for 3 minutes before I brew the coffee. The milk is very hot and the coffee is very hot when it is dripping. When it's all finished the latte is actually too hot to immediately drink. We love this machine. Makes two big mugs. The only milk that it doesn't froth good is chocolate soy milk. Don't know why because it will froth regular soy milk very well.

I had a one-on-one demo yesterday of the VirtuoLine (slightly newer product - said the only difference was size/shape and larger water reservoir). The coffee was plenty hot, and i like mine hot. It was too hot to drink and for quite some time.

Ms. Maria, According to Roxygirl down below approximately 200 degrees which is what the Bunn states in their description of the unit. I personally have never tested it,(no thermometer!) but I assure you in all regards it is hotter than my old Keurig, cups are not only hotter but richer in flavor; I use pulse with all drawers if you have one. One of the main reasons I chose this unit was because of that temp and I have not been let down yet. Keep in mind though that they're are four drawers and all will affect temp. The hot water pass through & Keurig drawer are hottest because of quick pass through followed by pod & ground drawer. Now, I mostly use the grounds drawer with ultra fine ground so I am slowing down the brew process and the temp by default. So, if you were using the grind drawer and adding cream/sugar I'd have to say your temp could be less by 20-30degrees, maybe possibly more but still hotter than the Keruig or many other units. I love this machine though quirky, loud, and slightly messy at times; it tends to sputter when doing kcups but after 4 pots inc.. the Cruisinart Cadillac Unit I'll take Mr.Sputters any day of the week! Please forgive, I am a touch chatty and overly descriptive in my answers ;)&gt; ...

It doesn't seem to get too hot but we use espresso and milk. It has the handle which definitely is not hot with very hot coffee in it.

The brewed temperature is very good..The taste depends on the brand of coffee used. So far all brands have brewed well..

I was just getting up to make some coffee so I decided to take the temp with our insta-read thermometer. After brewing with the brewed coffee setting I got almost exactly 160 degrees (160.8). I am perfectly fine with this temp myself but I know that some people brew their coffee hotter in order to travel and/or just to preference. If this seems too low for you then it might be worth knowing!

No NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THE COFFEE TEMPERATURE. It is at a prper drinking temperature. If you need super hot coffee you can use the Micro wave but it is not necessary.
