I absolutely LOVE my machine. It makes great tasting coffee. Really helped me cut down on my need to get Starbucks or Dutch Bros. However after getting this machine for Christmas last year it finally stopped working on me. I cleaned it about once a month and used it basically every day. I read the reviews that the machine breaking is a common occurrence so when it happened to me I was disappointed I was going to be stuck ordering a new one. I contacted support today and he confirmed my machine can’t be saved. I never registered by machine so I thought I was out of luck with any kind of warranty however support took care of all of that for me. I now have a brand new machine coming my way thanks to support helping me out. So although the machines longevity sucks the company by far makes it worth it!

Very easy to use. Makes a very good cup of espresso, makes good hot and cold brews. Great value for the money.

If you have any hand issues this is not the machine for you. I thought the locking mechanism would loosen up with use but that isn’t the case. Still love the coffee but I’m looking at gifting it to my daughter.

I have owned more coffee makers than I can probably name. I have (or have had) a french press, an electric percolator, a stove top percolator, moka pot, pour over, Senseo, tassimo. Keurig, mr coffee drip, HB Flex Brew, and many off brand variants of some of the previously mentioned.
I like coffee. I prefer darker and bold. But different roasts have their place. Some makers do better with some blends than others are able to do. Some of my methods are manual and others automatic. Lately, I tend more towards the automatic simply because of convenience and speed. No way I’m gonna stumble out of bed on a work day and mess with a moka pot. I want coffee and I want it immediately.
So, have owned all these I do have favorites among the one cup variety. The Senseo was my first and it changed how I felt about coffee. It really did make great coffee and the pods(?) started out reasonably priced but then became outrageously expensive (probably not by what we’ve come to accept today but back then a $1+ each was like paying $5 for gas). Honestly, the one I remember liking the best was the tassimo. Really, nice cup. Very finicky cleaning issues though. I put it up when discs became too expensive, but fortunately about about a year later our local Clearance Outlet had packages for $2 each! I was able to buy 30 or more and use it until it died.
I will say I like the Nespresso about as much. I already had the original line Nespresso. We bought the Plus version for my mother-in-law and I got to use it and liked it. I bought the Next because I thought it’s be easier to brew the 18oz and split it with my wife with less fuss. In hind sight I would have gone with the Plus. I like the motorized open and close and well the Carafe only has to choices. I tried on and don’t want to spend the money to try the other.
OTOH, I love all the sampler pack. Awsome sinlge and double espressos all the way up to the “coffee” size.
It does get expensive. To help with that I bought the silicone caps for refill. Our usual bean we buy and grind didn’t to so hot. I might have to go the final 2 clicks on the “fine” grind setting. But, Cafe Bustello is fabulous – almost a chocolate taste. I get plenty of crema. Actually, the Next makes so much crema we had to get bigger cups just to hold it. Your mileage will vary depending on your likes. I’ve only had it since Christmas so we haven’t been able to try different coffees and grinds yet. There isn’t much fuss with refilling your own pods. The most work is cutting off the old foil. I find those coffee scoops that open like tongs and have the funnel shaped top for pouring is exactly the right amount for a “coffee” size refill. Just pour it in and put the silicone cap on. No need to tamp or anything.
Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.

Okay going from 1 star to 5 seems like a stretch BUT so far the APP has changed my mind. Without the app you have to lock unlock press for 7 stand on one leg and hop!!! Not really but it seems that way.
USE THE APP … You know how you do should descale? You press the button on the app once, then follow the easy on screen process.
The APP WHO KNEW!! I LOVE MY MACHINE NOW. The following is all user unfriendly frustration without the APP.
Original Post:
Yesterday i read all the directions and I had the Nespresso virtuo prior so I am familiar with the process. (That died because it wouldn’t descale.) I bought this as a reward for myself. horrible mistake. I tried setting the cup size, followed all directions. watched videos on youtube. This machine can not make a frothy cup of coffee. I use the Nespresso pods and each rounded cup of coffee only made me made. Now today there is a small puddle under it. I GIVE UP!!

I purchased a certified, pre-owned Nespresso machine and for the week that it worked, I loved it. However it totally quit working (I tried everything) after about eight days, so I returned it. The reason I still gave it a good rating is 1) it was wonderful when it worked and 2) I was quickly and fully reimbursed for it. Note: KEEP ALL PACKAGING MATERIAL until you’re certain it’s a keeper. I think the fact that I repacked it with the exact same materials (a box within a box within a box) facilitated an easy return.

I actually don’t drink coffee, my wife does. We bought this because it was supposed to be easy to use. We were at an Airbnb that had one (a different machine), and it made great coffee for her for a week.
Then we bought this thing, thinking we’d have the same experience. Nope. At first, the coffee came out too strong – it was basically making espresso, which is fine, but you’re supposed to be able to make regular coffee as well. My wife heard that by pressing the button on top you could get different brew modes, and after experimenting found one she liked.
Today I had to unplug it, and lost her settings. So I pulled out the manual, and I could not find a single paragraph talking about how to change the settings. I’ve pored over it and there’s nothing there, not a single word about setting it to different strengths.
And the manual itself is a nightmare. It’s in 9 languages: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese(?), Chinese, some other version of Chinese(Cantonese?), Korean, Taiwanese(?), and Hebrew(?). If you’re not reading it in English (where the words are big and bold), then you will find every step you need to clean it, descale it, etc. is written in a tiny footnote font. It’s a big ugly mess that makes you turn multiple pages to go through a procedure (see sample photo). It’s also printed on the thinnest paper I could imagine – any thinner and it would rip apart when you turned a page.
Why did I have to unplug it (as I mentioned earlier)? Because I was trying to descale it, following the manual’s instructions to a “T” and it wasn’t working. I thought perhaps it had gotten into a bad state, so thought I’d do an unplug/plug reset. But that didn’t help. Then I found a Nespresso video, that basically had the same instructions but I’d follow exactly and it didn’t work. Then I found a video someone else made, and what worked from her didn’t work for me, but I did see how it started blinking red after a certain step (where mine wasn’t at that step). Then through trial and error, I learned I needed to add an extra button push, which put it in a mode where the next button push did what the manual and videos said it was going to.
This is how bad the manual is: Descaling step 5 is “Press and hold the button for 7 seconds”. If it had said “Press and hold the button for 7 seconds until the light starts blinking red”, I would have known this was the step that wasn’t working. (In reality, what worked was holding the button for 7 seconds (button stays white), then pressing and holding the button again, until it turned black, and keep holding it until it finally started blinking red. At that point, following the manual’s instructions led to a proper descaling.
My wife said figuring out how to change the strength was a similar experience – there are different but very similar models out there that require different steps. But that’s our next step. When we find the secret code we should write it down in the manual…except I don’t think the manual’s pages would hold up to a pen or pencil’s touch.
We’ll figure it out.

I just received my Nespresso and was excited to try out a pod to see what flavors I would order in the future. I noticed the $10 off next purchase expired on 12.31.2023 so I checked the pods and the box shows they expired 16 months ago.

I gave it five stars because I’m hoping to love it. I haven’t used it yet. It just came yesterday, but it arrived without an instruction booklet. It may be simple to use. I will have to figure it out.

I recently welcomed the Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee and Espresso Machine into my kitchen, and it has truly revolutionized my coffee routine. This sleek and innovative machine delivers a premium coffee experience that combines convenience with exceptional taste.
The versatility of the Vertuo Next is a game-changer. With the ability to brew both coffee and espresso, it caters to a variety of preferences, making it suitable for households with diverse coffee enthusiasts. The intuitive design allows for effortless customization, ensuring that each cup meets individual taste preferences.
One of the standout features is the Centrifusion technology. This unique brewing method, exclusive to Nespresso, uses centrifugal force to extract the full flavor and aroma from each coffee capsule. The result is a rich and indulgent crema that adds a luxurious touch to every cup. The consistency in flavor and crema across different blends is a testament to the precision of the brewing process.
The convenience of the Vertuo Next extends to its capsule system. The machine reads the barcode on each capsule, automatically adjusting the brewing parameters to optimize the extraction process. This hands-free operation not only simplifies the brewing experience but also ensures a consistently excellent cup of coffee or espresso every time.
The sleek and compact design of the Vertuo Next is a welcome addition to my kitchen countertop. It doesn’t just deliver great coffee; it does so with style. The modern aesthetic, coupled with thoughtful design elements like a movable water tank and adjustable cup support, makes it a practical and visually appealing appliance.
The water heating time is impressively quick. Within seconds, the Vertuo Next is ready to brew, saving valuable time during busy mornings. The energy-saving features, such as the automatic turn-off function after a period of inactivity, contribute to its efficiency and eco-friendly design.
Cleaning and maintenance are straightforward, thanks to the removable components and the descaling alert. The user-friendly interface guides you through the process, ensuring that the machine remains in top-notch condition for prolonged use.
In conclusion, the Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee and Espresso Machine has exceeded my expectations in terms of versatility, flavor, convenience, design, and efficiency. If you’re seeking a premium coffee experience with the convenience of capsule brewing, the Vertuo Next is a fantastic choice. Elevate your coffee rituals with this sophisticated machine that combines style and substance. Highly recommended!
