I was looking forward to getting the Nespresso Vertuo Next. I have had a Keurig for years, and after tasting coffee made in my sisters Nespresso (original) I was ready for the step up.
I opened the Amazon packaging, which was the usual pristine Amazon packaging (5* for that) and noticed that the Nespresso box was damaged. After taking pictures, I opened it, to realize that this was quite obviously a customer return, not a new machine. Still, I went ahead and opened it. The box of capsules that came with it was also opened and some capsules bent. I figured I could straighten those easily enough and proceeded to set up the machine. Per the instructions I ran through a cleaning cycle. Good thing, the water that came out was the shade of light coffee – very dirty with particles. I ran another cleaning cycle. still dirty. It took 5 cycles to get more or less clean water.
I should have given up at this point, but the next morning I made a cup of coffee, and it was very good.
This morning (day 3) I made 2 more cups, also good. Then it stopped working completely. Can’t make coffee (wasted one pod, and these things are not inexpensive (compared to Keurig), can’t run the clean cycle, can’t even run the empty water cycle. So it’s going back.
The other thing is that the Nespresso Vertuo Next is LOUD. I have it upstairs in my office. My wife, downstairs, asked me I was doing that was so loud. I was used to being on work calls while making a cup of coffee in my old Keurig. Would not be possible with this model of nespresso.
Also, the locking mechanism is different than what I expected. Other models have a touch pop-up lid, this has a manual lock that takes some force to close and lock. In terms of an easy to use coffee maker, this model doesn’t make the cut.
Overall, this was a very poor experience. I’m going to try again, with a different model.
Overall impressions of the experience, very poor.
Overall impression of this model, also poor. Loud (very loud), harder to operate than other Nespresso models. The coffee that I was able to make was good. It didn’t seem as hot as other machines I’ve used, and cooled quickly.
I’ll see what a Vertuo Plus is like.

Easy to use and clean. I’m pretty picky with coffee drinks – I really only like milk-heavy drinks. You can get a nice blond roast expresso for this that is delicious.
I do like to pre warm my cup with hot water before making a drink (& I warm the milk) because the machine doesn’t get too hot – just hot enough. Otherwise, I’m happy.

when the machine arrived, it was in the original box that was in poor condition, as if it had sat in the garage for years. upon removing the machine, however it looked good condition and clean. first time using, it did not work and thought I had to return it, troubleshoot it in the manual and it then worked. just hoping it doesn’t stop working. very deceiving when I bought it because I did not know I was buying a used one, so that was disappointing. However it’s working, it’s clean and decent shape so I kept it.

This is my second Nespresso DeLonghi espresso machine and I love it! First one lasted 13 years!! The easiness to operate and performance are truly amazing!
The Aeroccino is OUTSTANDING!!! If you love a frothy preparation, this is for you!

This has made my morning coffee so much better. I used to use the Nescafé instant coffee and it wasn’t hitting. I love the many flavors of pods and the look of this coffee machine fits right in with my coffee bar.

Was concerned as this was tagged as frequently returned. Took a chance and am pleasantly surprise. Easy set up. Definitely rinse more than once before brewing first time. There was a faint plastic smell in the water first rinse. None on second, I purchased some Starbucks nespresso pods in my favorite flavor. That was my test. While the temperature of the nespresso coffee is not quite as hot as my Bunn it made a great cup of coffee. This may be a problem if you add creamer as it would definitely lower the temp. Crème was added bonus of the nespresso. I’ve only had it now for under week. But will update my review if anything changes.

This is my 2nd Nespresso Vertuo Coffee machine. My first 1 lasted over 6 years. My drink is an iced latte. I have perfected my recipe and prefer my coffee over Starbucks. Pods are a little expensive at $1.10-1.50 per pod, but still way cheaper than a daily Starbucks. Also there are many YouTube videos on how to refill the pods with your own ground coffee. I have made back the money I spent on this coffee maker with 2 months of use. This machine was purchased within an hour of my first machine dying.

This is the simplest to use machine you’ll ever own, and it’s pretty reasonably priced. It’s as easy to use as a Keurig, but makes better coffee. There is no paper like in Keurig’s pods

It’s easy to use, fits on kitchen counter in style and makes an amazing coffee that tastes like coffee coffee, not coffee water!
The “crema” not cream, it makes on top is so yummy and takes the bitter away.

This machine will give you great espresso and coffee. Worth the money, easy to set up and use.
