2 leaking machines in less than 30 days

3 days after purchasing the Vertuo Next, it began leaking a substantial amount of water from the top of the machine. We returned it to the department store where it was purchased and received a replacement machine in the same model/color. The new machine performed well for 8 days before it began leaking from the top as well. We've been using our old Keurig until we're able to speak with Nespresso customer service for another replacement machine. We're going to give Nespresso one more chance before walking away from the brand. The coffee quality is incredible but our overall experience with the Vertuo Next has been a big disappointment so far.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi MdHilly. Thank you for you review. We are dismayed to learn the Vertuo Next does not meet your expectations. We recommend running a priming cycle weekly through your machine 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, 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!
I had an original retro style Virtuo machine and that this was (is) a trooper—the friend I gave it to after my “upgrade” has a better machine than me. I got this this “upgrade” as a gift from my gift list for more options, cup sizes and the smaller footprint. Well, I cannot, after a few months recommend it. It is flimsy, sometimes starts, sometimes not, leaks and that’s not good with a beautiful new white countertop. The coffee it makes is cold and making something just to microwave it is terrible. I only use this periodically now and have switched back to my old Mr Coffee machine and regular grounds. We will figure out later if a different machine makes sense or maybe continue with Mr Coffee and let guests use this one since periodic use is all it can handle. I bought the pour over carafe kit but have not been able to purchase more variety than the one pour over capsule. The second type is always out of stock. Pretty disappointing overall.

We've had this coffee maker since May 2021, and sometimes, it just won't start, then suddenly it will. It also leaks a small amount of icky brown stuff from somewhere under the machine. Another reason we bought it was because of the advertised cups to brew 14oz for our travel mugs, and they've been discontinued for quite some time. I really don't want to brew two 7.77 oz pods; one for the expense, and because you never know if it will actually brew!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Doesn’t live up to Nespresso Quality

I bought this in November after receiving our first Vertuo machine as a gift and falling in love with the coffee (we have one of the original Nespresso machines that has been a workhorse for us, too). I really like the form factor of the machine and it fits great in my office. Unfortunately, after only a few capsules, we realized this is nothing like our previous machines and experiences. The biggest frustration is how the coffee drips back into the drip tray. If you don’t clean it every 4-5 capsules, you end up with a moldy mess. The other issue is the number of times you have to reset it to keep the consistency with the coffee pour. We’ve had our original machine for over 10 years and have never had to contact support. Our other Vertuo machine is running like a champ. The Vertuo Next is one to avoid.
Note: After these issues, Nespresso customer service is sending us a new machine. Given the reviews I’ve read, though, I’m not overly optimistic.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This thing is great when it works...but it works less than 50% of the time. Then you eject a perfectly good pod into the waste basket. White, solid light shows up, hit the button, and then....nothing. It's incredibly frustrating. You can unplug it for a bit then plug it back in and it will work for a cup or two. But then the same thing happens. Such a shame because it's really good when it works.

Received my first machine as a Christmas present and it quit working after 2 weeks of very light usage. Attempted to troubleshoot with customer service and ended up getting a replacement. The replacement machine came and worked for another 2 weeks and I ran into the same problem as before (water leaking under the machine and unable to reset the machine). It's extremely disappointing because I absolutely love the aesthetics of the limited edition of this model and overall size so it's very unfortunate. However, I have to agree with everyone else that the Nespresso customer service is exceptional - very patient and understanding. My replacement machine is a different model so hopefully 3rd time's the charm!
