Great coffee, but very unreliable machine

I got my first machine back in October 2021 and man, the coffee is SO MUCH better than keurig, I was SO EXCITED; HOWEVER, after 2 months, the machine stopped reading pods and after endless troubleshooting and wasted pods, Nespresso sent me a replacement machine, AWESOME. I've now had this new machine for a few months now, and about a month ago it started being finicky again. It won't read pods for days and then all of a sudden, it will. I take all the proper care of the machine and all, but when I just want a cup of coffee, it gives me a hard no. Lots more trouble shooting and wasted pods. Still won't work. You've been warned.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I'm on my second Next. The first one was replaced for free but now this new one has quit after 5 months. They don't seem to read the capsules after a time. I've wasted at least a sleeve of coffee trying to make it work. The coffee is great, but no longer worth the expense and frustration.

I used to love this machine! But after a year & a half it stopped working. I spent over an hour video chatting with an employee and clean it weekly. However, something is wrong with the sensors and it takes me forever to try to get a single cup of coffee. Honestly it makes me so mad every morning that it doesn’t work it’s not worth the hassle. I’d prefer a drip coffee machine at this point since at least that would work.

In less than 9 months we went through 2 machines. They just stopped working. Don't bother with this machine. It's the worst!

Thank you for your review, Brett. We share in your frustration regarding your experience with your Vertuo Next machine. We certainly want your Nespresso experience to be special and exactly to your satisfaction. Please allow us to provide some user tips that may help. When turning on your machine, allow your machine to warm up. The light will begin to pulse slowly for about 30 seconds, indicating the “warm-up” phase. Once the light is steady the machine is ready for use. Insert your Nespresso capsule, and ensure the lever is fully locked. The lever must go past the lock symbol and there should be a slight click sound when fully locked. For best maintenance for your Vertuo Next, we recommend to always eject the used capsule after every use, run the Clean Cycle once a week to eliminate coffee grounds build up within the brew unit, and descale your machine every three months. All removable spare parts, including the water tank, should be washed by hand at least once a week. The Vertuo Next comes with a one-year warranty and a lifetime of troubleshooting support through Nespresso. Please feel free to visit Nespresso.com/help for comprehensive maintenance and troubleshooting guides or speak with a Coffee Specialist through our live chat feature. You may also call our toll-free phone number, 800-562-1465 where we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Thank you.
I really want to love this machine, but it gets harder everyday. We are on our second machine now in just under a year. Nespresso replaced the first one after about six months because we kept getting errors that would not reset. Turns out you can't use the Starbucks Nespresso pods (that say Nespresso all over the box) because it will reset the sensors and just stop reading pods. On our second machine signed up for automatic delivery of Nespresso coffee. We still get random errors after two cups almost daily. They usually reset themselves after a few hours or if I unplug the machine, but at this point it's more trouble than it's worth. Our second delivery of pods was so badly damaged the machine couldn't read them, but Nespresso did send out replacements right away free of charge . Love the coffee, but at this point not worth the expense of the machine, the pods or my time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the look of this machine, but that's just an extra perk, the coffee is the real star. It's so good and easy to make. I'm a big nespresso fan!
I bought this machine and almost immediately had problems. It would stop working at least twice a week, and I wound up returning it within a month because it just completely stopped functioning. The machine wouldn't pull water from the tank and would constantly have problems. This machine also is noisy and very clunky. Would it pull a nice shot of espresso? Absolutely. But the amount of work I would go through fixing this machine was not worth it (especially for the price). I am probably going to buy the Vertuo Plus in hopes of a better experience! The Next just seems to have too many mechanical issues.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
