I bought this machine a little over a year ago, was working perfectly fine, kept it clean. The other day, an entire coffee pod was poured through the bottom of the machine. Tried cleaning it and the solution went through the bottom as well. Created an mess. This was my second time getting this machine, as last one died at the 2 year mark. I don't know what do, have a lot of pods but the machines break down. Big let down with these machines. Have now went through 3 machines in about a 5 year time frame.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first Nespresso and I have to say this is the BEST coffee and machine I ever used and had. So many great flavors! I CANNOT go back to Keurig! Keurig is such crap imo now
The compact size & fun colors make the Vertuo Pop a perfect countertop or coffee station machine. However the heating element is disappointing. I can’t get a truly hot expresso or cup of regular coffee; only lukewarm.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the Nespresso Vertuo Pop and I love it. From the moment I set it up, it was clear this machine was designed with simplicity in mind. There’s virtually no learning curve, pop in a capsule, press a button, and a beautifully rich cup of coffee is ready in seconds. No fussing, no complicated settings.
What really impressed me is the capsule selection. There’s genuinely something for every mood and taste, whether you want a bold espresso or a longer, smoother brew. I love that I can switch it up depending on what I’m craving that day. It’s become a staple in our morning routine. Highly recommend!
The Vertuo Up has an attractive, slender design for countertops where space is precious. I especially appreciate opening the Nespresso Smart app to prep. the machine for cleaning and descaling. With prior machines, I'd have to re-learn the procedure every time.
Completely downhill from there. Disposing of pods creates a mess every time, with the tray assembly typically filled with residual coffee that dribbles everywhere as you make yourself to the sink. The pods themselves are wet and for those of us that enjoy the recycling process, even getting the pods into the bag creates an additional mess. This is our 4th machine since coming aboard with Nespresso and by far the worst machine thus far to work with.
I have zero interest in investing in a 5th machine just to return to another machine so I'm stuck.

I don’t often write reviews, but I was so disappointed in the new Vertuo Up. I will say that I like the design and that it warms up in just a few seconds (an improvement over the 30-second warm up of my last machine). But overall, this machine is much worse quality than any other Nespresso machine I’ve purchased. The design has the pods drop straight down into a basket but lots of water falls into that basket/tray, too, which causes mold since there is no ventilation unless you clean it daily. It also splashes a ton when pouring the coffee into your cup; not sure if that is the design of the spout or the length the coffee has to fall, but especially on my “pearl white” machine, that means I have to wipe down the machine after each use. The quality of the coffee appears to be the same as with my previous machines, but given the design issues and daily cleaning required, I am already considering replacing my Vertuo Up with another machine (after only a couple months).
