I recently purchased the Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee and Espresso Machine, and it has completely elevated my coffee experience. From the delicious taste to the sleek design and fast brew time, this machine is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to enjoy premium coffee at home. If you’re on the fence about getting a Nespresso machine, I can confidently say it’s worth every penny.Taste – Café-Quality Coffee at HomeThe most important part of any coffee machine is the taste it delivers, and the Vertuo Next absolutely excels in this department. The Nespresso Vertuo pods produce coffee with a rich aroma, bold flavor, and a luxurious crema that rivals any café.

There’s something for every mood and occasion, from a strong espresso shot to a light breakfast blend. Plus, the machine’s centrifusion technology ensures a balanced extraction every time.Ease of Cleaning – Quick and Hassle-FreeCleaning the Vertuo Next is incredibly simple. After brewing, the used capsules are automatically ejected into the container, which holds multiple pods before needing to be emptied. The drip tray is also adjustable and removable, making it easy to clean up any spills.The machine has a descaling alert that lets me know when it’s time for a deep clean, and the process itself is straightforward using the Nespresso descaling kit. In just a few minutes, the machine is sparkling clean and ready to go.Build Quality – Sleek and DurableThe build quality of the Vertuo Next is impressive. It has a modern and minimalist design that looks beautiful on my kitchen counter. Despite its stylish appearance, it feels sturdy and well-made.

It’s evident that the machine is built to last, making it a smart long-term investment.Size – Compact and Space-SavingOne of the things I love most about the Vertuo Next is its compact size. At just 5.5 inches wide, it doesn’t take up much space, making it ideal for small kitchens, apartments, or office spaces. Despite its small footprint, it still brews both coffee and espresso, offering the versatility of a larger machine without the bulk.Brew Time – Fast and ConvenientIf you’re someone who values a quick cup of coffee, the Vertuo Next won’t disappoint. It has an impressive brew time, typically producing a fresh cup of coffee in about 90 seconds. The machine heats up in just 30 seconds, so I don’t have to wait long for my morning caffeine fix.I also love the one-touch operation. Simply pop in a pod, press the button, and the machine reads the pod’s barcode to adjust the brew time and settings automatically. It’s a hassle-free experience that makes every cup perfect.Brew Speed – Efficient and ReliableNot only is the brew time quick, but the brew speed remains consistent.

So, we got this for my son for Christmas and after watching it brew a few cups and tasting the coffee, I'm thinking, "Umm, I want one of these!" The way these machines brew the coffee (and don't ask me to explain it cause I'm not a coffee pro) makes you feel like you're getting a brew from your favorite coffee shop, but you're at home in your pajamas. Nice! He's had it sense Christmas (so that's 6 months now) and it's working perfectly still. My sister-in-law has one of these also and having tried it at their house when we were visiting is the reason why my son wanted one for Christmas.It's compact in size, not very loud, and brews a next level cup of coffee. Definitely a step up from having a Keurig.One downside is the cups are a little pricey in my opinion, but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for.

I was very happy to receive this replacement This one was packaged like a new item should be. It did take me several hours to resolve the situation by phone but I’m pleased with the end result. I’m disappointed with Amazon for previously sending me an obviously used and unpackaged dirty coffee machine and am irritated that I had to experience the trouble of driving 2 hours to the nearest carrier to return it. The NEW replacement meets my expectations. Fairly simple to operate . This one actually included coffee and espresso samples, the navy color is elegant.

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.

So far so good.Slight problem with software updates not working.Same problem with my previous Nespresso machine so this could be a problem with my environment or the hardware in general.Espresso is good.The color is perfect (paid a little bit more for the blue).
