Overall great machine, but with a few flaws.

I've had my Pop Plus for almost a year, and overall I really like it. Of course, it makes a great cup of coffee, and it makes it fast. Other than that, here are some pros and cons:
Pros
1. It has a small footprint compared to other Vertuo models, and the unique shape allows it to fit comfortably into a corner, if needed.
2. It heats up faster than older Vertuo models
3. The water tank is easy to remove and clean
4. It's quieter than older Vertuo models (although still vibrates quite a lot)
5. The pod catch bin is easy to remove and clean

Cons
1. I got the gold and black color, and the gold finish is simply a cellophane film. How did I discover this? Well, I put the mug tray in some water one night to soak off dried coffee, and when I went to wash it the next morning, the gold colored film *sloughed off* leaving the steel beneath exposed. This feels really cheap and below the standard I expect for Nespresso machines.
2. Why, oh why, is the column below the spout CONVEX?? Who did this? It should be a concave curve to accommodate the shape of most mugs, or at the very least be flat. With the column rounding outward, it means you can't use mugs with any sort of inward curve at the mouth or you risk the stream of coffee not making it in, and pouring all over your countertop, instead.
3. This machine DOES accommodate XL capsules, but it has a tough time ejecting the pods when you open the chamber afterward. I've had almost every XL pod get stuck and need to be removed by hand vs sliding down into the catch bin.

Disappointed

I bought this machine last week and planned to replace it with an older model of the Vertuo that I have. The reason I wanted the Pop Plus was because it brews more sizes like alto/XL, and my current Vertuo only brews four cup sizes. I have use it every day since I purchased it. So far compared to my older model this machine seems more cheaply made. I struggle with close and lock feature each time. Every time I close it down it seems like its not locked in placed and you have to fiddle with it to be sure. The plastic used here just seems cheaper while my older model had a sturdy locking system. Secondly, when I brew coffee this machine seems to produce triple the amount of foam then my other machine when brewing so your left with less coffee and more foam. I am good with an inch or so of foam but this more than half the cup. I have stir each cup to settle the foam which is annoying when I am in a rush in the mornings. Lastly and most important the machine spout is set so low you cant fix your alto (nespresso cup) or a taller cup under the spout! Why oh why if its suppose to brew even larger sizes than my other machine is the spout set to low on this machine. My other machine only brewed up to 7.7 oz and there was still plenty of room to place a large cup underneath. It is so inconvenient and annoying that I have to use two cup when it is process of brewing and then transfer the two cups it brewed into one large cup simply because the spout is set too low to fix my tall cup under it! I regret buying this machine, and having two large sizes to brew was not worth the inconvenience of the short spout and my current nespresso cups not fitting underneath.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

footprint is too large

the water tank on the side is a deal break for me, it doubles foot print and prevents this machine from being the space saver it claims to be. I really want a vertuo machine, but may have to go with the orginal capsules

The VertuoPlus is more comparable in size, measuring W 8.7 in, H 12.7 in, and D 12.8 in, while the Vertuo Next may be slightly larger than expected, with dimensions of W 5.5 in, H 12.4 in, and D 16.8 in.

I would recommend this to a friend!

Disappointing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unfortunately, it wasn’t what I expected. A little too clunky/clumsy for my taste, so I purchased another Vertuo Plus as a gift which is much better.
