[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this so I can have a better cup of coffee in our travel trailer. This is a perfect size for our needs of course it makes a great cup!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this machine a couple weeks ago to replace my old espresso machine and it is so much more convenient when making my morning coffee before work!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Makes great espresso and is much more convenient than hand packing your espresso! Saves lots of time making coffee in the mornings.
"Upgraded" from the VirtuoPlus machine thinking this was the latest and greatest, and it just doesn't work nearly as well.
Initially I thought the coffee didn't quite taste as good, but maybe that was in my head.
The bigger problem is how fast(~2 months) it gets dirty and gets a gross burnt/ashy taste, and the cleaning cycle and cleaning liquid just can't seem to get it clean.
It's now been about 7 months and it has completely stopped working. There are only 2 of us using it on the house, avg 2 coffees each (4 total) per day. We can usually get it to work for one coffee between each cleaning cycle at this point.
We have done the full chemical cleaning with the Nespresso brand cleaner 3 times(every 2 months) and leading up to having to run it between every pod, we would run the "quick" clean probably twice a month on average.
The VirtuoPlus we had for 2 years before getting this "upgrade" and we did the quick clean maybe once every 2 months and the chemical clean every 6 months without having any issues.
The carafe size was an interesting idea, but ultimately we only used it maybe 3 times when we first got it, and decided the single cup quality was just so much better that we didn't want to keep doing the carafe.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi. Thank you for your review. We are dismayed to learn the Vertuo Next does not meet your expectations. To ensure optimal use from your machine, we recommend running a priming cycle through your machine once a week to assist with keeping the taste, texture, body and aroma in each brew. We also recommend descaling your machine every three months or 300 capsules, whichever comes first. If you need assistance with your Vertuo Next Machine, please do not hesitate to contact us through our toll-free number, 800-562-1465. Each machine comes with at least a one-year warranty and lifetime troubleshooting assistance Thanks!
Save your money on this product, buy Vertuo Plus instead! I was gifted this machine and had to get it replaced twice within 2 years. I was using Vertuo Plus prior to Vertuo Next, and I absolutely loved it for 4 years! I switched it back to a new Vertuo Plus as I couldn't deal with this machine anymore.
Pros: Great Color Options, Slim/Compact Design Cons: Non-automatic open/close button (super stiff too), Malfunctioning too often
