Always find coffee in recycling bin
on September 24, 2021

After I had this about 2 weeks the machine started dumping coffee into the recycling bin. I called the help desk and he told me to clean the pot. He told me to stick a toothpick or paperclip end in the place where the pod goes to clear out any coffee residue. Neither one of them fit in the hole. He then told me to run very hot water through the machine by pressing the brew button 3 times. After I completed that I tried to brew the coffee. The first cup came out ok but the second cup only filled up 1/2 way and emptied into the pod recycling bin. Thtis continues to be a problem. My daughter has machine and it has never done this. This makes a great cup of coffee when it goes in the cup.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Have had to replace this machine twice now! Constantly malfunctions and is incredibly difficult to troubleshoot. Very frustrating when you're about to leave for work and try to make a cup of coffee and it simply won't. Buy a different machine!

Got as a gift. Only reason I didn’t toss after a month. Now, 4 months later, the machine doesn’t work.

I love the coffee! The coffee machine works, but it’s very loud. I have a different Nespresso coffee maker and I love it more because it’s not anywhere close to as loud as this one. I have this new one at work, and I need to make sure my coworker isn’t on the phone so I can make a cup of coffee.

Thank you for your review, Mo14. You can reduce the sound made from your Vertuo Next machine by running the weekly cleaning cycle, or by placing a small mat between the machine and your countertop.

Got my first next as a 2020 Xmas gift, and my wife and myself loved it. That continued for 5 moths until May when it broke down (flashing white cup light that was unresponsive when pressed). Customer service was great and very helpful in troubleshooting. They determined that it likely got stuck during a firmware upgrade and needed to be replaced and exchanged it for a new Next unit. Got the new unit and the 12 capsule flavor assortment (nice bonus). I didn't pair the unit with Wi-Fi so it couldn't get bricked by a firmware upgrade like my last one. This worked well for 4 months. Now I have a solid white cup button that is unresponsive. Chatted twice with customer service (who were great) and they determined that again, the machine would need to be exchanged. I asked if they could switch me to a Vertuo plus, and they readily agreed, and upgraded to a Vertuo Plus Deluxe, and they added a sample set as well. Overall, I'm done with the Next and have moved on to the Plus Deluxe. I'm disappointed that it didn't work out, but no big loss because I didn't plan on getting the carafe for the Next, so no loss on my part. It is disappointing that the machines would not last long enough to have to be descaled (I use soft filter water, so it is recommended ~ every 6 months), and it has to be a loss for Nespresso, but I'm off to the next machine. Still can use the same capsules, so I'm not upset, but it is pretty hard to rattle me.
First and foremost, the coffee is absolutely wonderful. I purchased the Vertuo Next back in June, 2021 and fell in love immediately. That being said, fast-forward to September, 2021 and the orange blinking light comes on when I attempt to brew my usual morning coffee. I tried the descaling mode, the cleaning mode, and spoke with a rep from Nespresso, who guided me through the troubleshooting process. It was determined that the machine would need to be replaced. I am currently awaiting my replacement machine in the mail. I will keep an optimistic outlook on the next machine, but I am a little concerned as to how long the next machine will last based upon these other reviews. I hope that if this happens again, I will be able to trade it out for a different series. Don't hesitate to buy a Nespresso machine! Just be careful with the Vertuo Next series and perhaps opt in for a different Nespresso series machine instead. Absolutely love Nespresso regardless! Great customer support too.
