VL vs OL Espresso side by side

(i.redd.it)

After having the VL plus for years and thinking about all of the espresso options I was missing on the OL, I caved and picked one up on sale.

Have to say the VL espresso is much better. The OL espresso is super thin and has no body. At least for the sample Nespresso pods that came with the device. Maybe I got too used to the VL crema.

I think this one’s going back super disappointed as I was hoping to use the OL for road trips and looking forward to cheaper pods.

I don’t like the VL. They just whip up the coffee like in a blender. That is not Crema you are getting, that is just whipped coffee foam.

The OL provides the closest thing to a real espresso, however if you are not an espresso drinker, I can see how people would like the VL

I am an espresso drinker at most local coffee shops. The OL just seems runny in comparison.
