We have the Vertuo Evoluo and really enjoy it, as it makes great coffee. It came with a frother, which is great as well.
I think we've had ours for 6 years or so, but I can't remember. The hardest part was finding pods, without ordering them online. Bed Bath & Beyond always had them, so did Target. I now see that Wal Mart started carrying these Vertuo pods and last time I bought some, it was $10.99 for 8 pods.
