Is this the unit only, or does it come with the startup sampler of espresso capsules?

It comes with sampler capsules. Can't remember how many but I think it was about 10 of them.

Typically it doesn't contain these accessories. Usually it comes with filter adapters for 3 or 6 cups of espresso. Other accessories mentioned in the question are as a rule sold separately.

No. This machine only uses the iperEspresso capsules. There are other machines that can use either the capsules or ground coffee.

Can I use my bricks or does it only grind? Also, this is my first Espresso machine, I know almost nothing about them. Does it come with a good manual? Based on some reviews I read I feel I need to hold a doctorate to operate one. Tell me it aint so.

No. I suspect one reason Nespresso released this machine is they lost a patent on their standard pods. The Vertuoline being a brand new machine, I'd expect Nespresso to be the sole supplier for some time. Despite that, the Vertuoline is a very nice coffeemaker, and makes a great cup of coffee.

Definitely not, Jana. It only runs the Rivo-size capsules. They are all espresso types, and it's only designed to pump espresso type shots. The best you can do is a Caffe Americano, which is espresso+water.

This machine takes coffee pods only. You can make your own coffee pods or buy senseo pods which work great.

There's a metal insert that you use in the espresso part of the machine. There's a one shot one and a two shot one so you can control how much espresso you make. There are no filters to buy. There's actually nothing extra to buy except the ingredients you'll need to make a coffee drink.

Also, don't buy from this amazon dealer if you do want some capsules. This dealer charges more than twice what you'll pay if you go directly to the Nespresso club.

Hi, This model goes fine with the Phillips Senseo type HD 7854.. It is a entry level espresso maker.The good thing is that you can use the coffee you want and it results in a cheaper experience, by far..

Pretty quick, c. 1 minute. I get it started just before I start running the espresso machine, never have to wait much.

This product is two pieces. The outside section is considered the pod and the small insert ( basket/filter) is where your coffee of your choice is placed. Everything to start using your own coffee is included.

The nespresso comes with a small sampler pack. I don't remember how many, but I want to say 6-8

The machine does not use capsules, you must grind the coffee separately before putting into machine.

It does ... and you'll definitely need it. I owned a total of 3 units. The first 2 were replaced under warranty after major delays at the appliance repair company and/or Krups themselves. When I finally got the 2nd replacement, I sold it on eBay.If you want to really have a cup of coffee when you want it, forget this unit. Krups customer service was terrible. I replaced my unit with a Deloghi Magnifica XS. It was well worth the difference in cost. I've had the Delonghi now for 16 months without a single problem. In fact, I'm just enjoying my first cup of coffee today!!
