UPDATE: I went for a Keurig K-Supreme Plus instead and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever purchased! I am absolutely in love with it (and I don’t usually get so enthusiastic about things that I’ve purchased)! Delicious coffee within seconds every morning – it actually makes me look forward to morning time, and so much variety!! It probably sounds like I’m affiliated with Keurig but I’m not, and I’m not being paid for this review. I just don’t understand why Nespresso has such a following (I had tried this out because a friend told me that it’s waaay better than Keurig, and that is definitely not true).
High-level faults before getting into the fraud/scam details:
1. It is very difficult to use. I work in tech, and love tech gadgets. With this thing, it’s ridiculously difficult to figure out how to make a cup of coffee. I had to watch numerous YouTube videos. The amount of different combinations of button presses for each different function is just crazy. For example “tap the coffee button three times within 2 seconds, hold two buttons for more than 3 seconds, then tap the coffee button to confirm. Then a green light will flash three times, followed by a solid orange light…”. I can pretty much guarantee you won’t even be able to open the machine to put a pod in there without watching a YouTube video.
2. There is a VERY limited selection of coffees. While every coffee company out there makes pods for Keurig machines, Nespresso machines read a barcode on each pod, and will not do anything unless the pod is from Nespresso or Starbucks.
3. The coffee is just meh. I don’t know what all the great reviews are about.
Now for the fraud part – seriously, there’s a whole reddit thread about suing Nespresso for this:
I received my Nespresso Vertuo Plus today and was very disappointed to find out (after a lot of frustrating, time-wasting troubleshooting and researching) that the largest coffee it can make is 7.7oz, even though Nespresso says this machine can make up to 14oz coffees. However, Nespresso has discontinued the Alto/XL pods that are required to make 14oz coffees, but they still say everywhere that they can make up to 14oz. The whole reason I decided to give Nespresso a try is because they very loudly market the fact that this can make large cups of coffee (like a Keurig can), but it’s literally not possible in this machine because when it reads a barcode on each pod, it uses the amount of water that’s recommended for that pod. So, without the Alto/XL pods (which no longer exist, but you won’t see that update in any of their documentation or YouTube videos), you cannot make a coffee that’s larger than 7.7oz unless you use multiple pods, which would be stupid because the pods are already more expensive than their competitors. Nespresso even has a YouTube video that shows how to make a large cup of coffee in this machine by manually programming the amount of water to use. I tried this with one of the other pods (not Alto/XL), and even though I kept my finger on the button like they said, it still stopped at 7.7oz. They should clearly say that you can only make a maximum of 7.7oz because they no longer support the 14oz pods.
Final thoughts:
I’m originally from Europe but I’ve lived in the US for a few years. When I go into a coffee shop in the US, it’s most common to see people ordering at least 12oz or 16oz coffees. Tiny little coffees are great in Europe, but Nespresso is being really stupid for making the majority of their machines not cater for the US market, which is one of the biggest markets in the world for coffee consumption.

We have a nespresso at work which prompted me to buy one. It makes whole cups of coffee and espresso shots. The quality of the coffee is amazing. So easy to use as the machine reads the bar codes so no having to change settings just a simple lifting of the pod chamber. Looks and tastes better than overpriced coffee shops. If you order the pots directly from nespresso you can ask for pre payed envelopes to send the pods back for recycling. The prices are usually cheaper than a secondhand seller too.

Both devices are easy to use, compact and functional. I appreciate that Espresso recycles the pods – n charge when you return to UPS. Frother is good for both hot and chilled milk. I like the variety of pods that you can get directly from the company (and they come within a couple of days where we live) but I understand grocery stores now carry them also but not as big a selection. Only caveat – if the red light blinks on the frother, you’ve forgotten to put the spiral frother in the container. Thanks goodness they tell you that’s what it is, I also misread the directions on how to descale, and the woman at the 1-800 number was the most helpful person I’ve dealt with. Better than Apple help.

This machine does a beautiful job making coffee fast and easy ! When you heat up the vanilla milk it keeps the coffee hot and tastes great! I say it’s better than a keurig machine

I’m not your typical coffee drinker…not a snob about having to have a certain kind or flavor, I don’t buy coffee every day and I honestly don’t even have a coffee maker on my counter. BUT…I love a good cup of coffee and can certainly taste the difference.
I had a couple different Nespresso pods at my friend’s house a while back and it was great, but I never got my own. After doing some research, I decided to go with a Vertuo machine and ultimately with the Vertuo Plus. I like the flexibility of the water tank as it can swivel from one side to the other and the reviews all said this was a great one to get. I scored this with the frother on sale, but wasn’t sure what pods I should get. I was delightfully surprised with I found this setup came with a sampler pack of pods!!
I’ve used it a couple weeks now and it does NOT disappoint! I quickly learned which my favorite pods were thanks to the sampler pack.
I brew one cup before I head to work (and mix in my steamed/frothed milk!) and sip on it on my commute. I wasn’t sure I’d ever use the frother, but it is a game changer!! SO SO GOOD!
On weekends, I have 2-3 cups.
One concern is the cost of the pods. Today I received the pod refiller setup and a can of good espresso and tried that. That will be a separate review, but I can say that it’s really good and works great!
Buy with confidence and enjoy the deliciousness that it produces!

The machine is really nice but the pod holder comes off frequently and
sometimes takes several attempts to put it back in place……My daughter is unable
to accomplish this task….not fun. Update-This company has the most amazing customer service! They are professional, lightening fast and beyond accommodating. They sent a custom return box to me within 3, I packed up the unit and sent it back. They email you every step of the way, box sent, unit received, tech is working on it, unit cannot be repaired, new one arrived 3 days later!! New unit is perfect!!

I put off buying an espresso machine until my granddaughter got one. This is easier than making coffee. I loved it came with the frother. The pods are very good , easy to clean. Looks great on the counter, size is easily accommodated , performance is outstanding. Taste is wonderful. Great variety of flavor pods. Use it everyday.

A few months with the Nespresso Vertuo Plus and I must say, it has been an absolute game-changer in my daily coffee routine. This review aims to highlight the exceptional features that make this coffee machine worthy of a five-star rating.
Indulgent Experience: The Nespresso Vertuo Plus delivers an indulgent coffee experience that surpasses my expectations. The aroma, flavor, and rich crema of each cup are simply delightful. It’s like having a café-quality beverage right in the comfort of my own home. The quality and consistency of the coffee it produces make it a luxurious treat every morning.
Favorite Feature: I particularly enjoy using the double espresso option for my Americanos. The intense flavor and perfect balance of strength elevate my morning coffee to a whole new level. The ability to customize the size and intensity of each cup is a fantastic feature that caters to individual preferences.
Recyclable Cups: One aspect that I truly appreciate about Nespresso is their commitment to sustainability. The Vertuo Plus utilizes recyclable coffee capsules, allowing me to enjoy my coffee guilt-free. Knowing that I can enjoy my favorite beverages while minimizing my environmental impact is a significant bonus.
Daily Use and Easy Cleaning: I use the Nespresso Vertuo Plus every day without fail, and it continues to impress me. Its user-friendly design and straightforward operation make it a breeze to incorporate into my morning routine. Additionally, the machine is incredibly easy to clean, saving me time and effort.
Premium Price, but Worth It: It’s true that the Nespresso Vertuo Plus coffee capsules come at a higher price point compared to regular coffee. However, considering the indulgent experience, convenience, and exceptional quality it delivers, I believe it is worth the investment. After all, treating yourself to a premium coffee experience that replicates your favorite café drinks is truly priceless.
The Nespresso Vertuo Plus is an outstanding coffee machine that provides an indulgent and delightful coffee experience. From the convenience of the double espresso option to the recyclable cups and easy cleaning, this machine has exceeded my expectations. While the coffee capsules may come at a premium price, the overall experience and quality make it well worth the investment. If you’re seeking a top-notch coffee experience at home, the Nespresso Vertuo Plus is the perfect choice. Treat yourself—you deserve it!

As soon as I opened it and set it up there was a red ring, wouldn’t open, and wouldn’t factory reset. Amazon said call Nespresso, Nespresso said call Amazon. Ridiculous. Amazon has a new machine on the way, I will change this review if that one actually works.
UPDATE:
The new machine is in and the coffee is fantastic. Caffeinated, flavorful, frothy. It looks so creamery and smells so good coming out of the machine. I will be riding the Nespresso train and retiring my Kurieg. This machine is like a barista in your house.
They sent me only the machine to replace a broken machine & frother combo so I can’t give 5 stars because I’m still down a frother but that has nothing to do with the machine itself.

The Nespresso VertuoPlus Deluxe has completely transformed my coffee experience at home. From the sleek design to the delicious coffee it produces, I couldn’t be happier with this machine.
The convenience of the VertuoPlus is unmatched – it heats up quickly and brews a perfect cup of coffee or espresso with just the touch of a button. The range of coffee options is impressive, and I love being able to choose from different roasts and flavors to suit my mood.
The quality of the coffee is exceptional – rich, flavorful, and with a perfect crema every time. Plus, the Aeroccino milk frother creates creamy foam for lattes and cappuccinos that rival those from my favorite coffee shops.
Cleanup is a breeze thanks to the removable water tank and used capsule container. The machine’s compact size also fits perfectly in my kitchen without taking up too much space.
Overall, the Nespresso VertuoPlus Deluxe has exceeded my expectations in every way. If you’re a coffee lover looking for a convenient and high-quality brewing experience at home, look no further – this machine is a game-changer! Highly recommend.
