Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee and Espresso Maker by De’Longhi, White

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast, Easy, Delicious
I love my Nespresso! I have had it for a few months now, and have had no issues. I am one of those girls that usually gets an iced coffee on her way to work every morning and this has broken that habit! I Have saved so much money since buying this machine. It is well worth the initial investment. Super easy to use, and quick! I used to have a Breville machine that took ground espresso, but it was way too much work. This is so simple and easy, just pop in a pod and boom! Delicious coffee! The machine is not very loud either, which I appreciate. MUCH better coffee/espresso than any other pod coffee machine I have owned in the past. I hesitated for a while prior to purchasing, but I wish I had just gotten it sooner!

1.0 out of 5 stars Complete disappointment
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy way to make great coffee
After I spent some time selecting my favorite Nespresso coffees, I now see this as a superior way to make and enjoy coffee. Highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing coffee machine
Love this coffee maker. Compact, works great, intelligent app, and most of all, makes delicious coffee.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nespresso Virtuo
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

5.0 out of 5 stars I love it
I love this coffee maker, the quality of the product and the fast it make the coffee

3.0 out of 5 stars Didn’t last long
I enjoyed this for a couple of months and then it began to give me problems. I am disappointed in the short life. I didn’t get to return it apparently so what a waste of money.

3.0 out of 5 stars Delicious coffee but there is a downside.
I love every single cup of coffee! Coffee for me has to have a layer of foam. Absolutely delicious!
I only drink one cup of coffee a day so l don’t use it constantly. But, after a couple weeks of using it, every time l want to make myself a coffee, the light blinks red. So freaking annoying. As you can assume: it doesn’t want to make coffee when it does that. And it gets worse and worse. The first time the machine started right after the second try. Now l sometimes have to try for 5 MINUTES to get my damn coffee. Troubleshooting says: unplug, wait and plug back in. Well, l have to do that 10 times or more. Open and close the capsule compartment multiple times, what makes me waste a cup. These capsules are not cheap.
I am not, not recommending the Verturo but l am not sure if l will buy it again when this one breaks. It seems to be a common problem as they mention it in their standard troubleshooting. I don’t always have time in the morning to spend 5 minutes to try to get a coffee. And it is frustrating. One day l will smack it l think.

4.0 out of 5 stars The best coffee you can make from a pod
Love this machine. Works great and makes a great cup of coffee or shots of espresso. Only reason I can’t give it 5 starts is that it is so noisy! I wake up early and this thing is loud enough to wake up my kids when brewing. Just keep that in mind if you plan to use this as the first person to wake up each morning.
