I am a long time Nespresso owner and loved it so much that I bought a smaller one to use at work. Big mistake. There are some design issues that are a problem. First: the latch is extremely difficult to use requiring quite a bit of force to press it down and secure it. Second: the cup shelf is small and does not fit a regular sized coffee cup, in fact they slide right off. Simple solution would be to remove the shelf and put the cup on the table top. Wrong. The bottom of the unit has a small rim that does not allow you to put the cup right next to the machine, causing it to sometimes dispense coffee onto the counter and not directly into the cup. Third: when closing the lid you many times get the red light of death, which means you have to unplug it and start again. Save yourself headaches and opt for a larger one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had the Vertuo next for a few months and have enjoyed it so much that I recently purchased one for my father as a birthday present. This machine is a really convenient size and easy to use. The coffee definitely tastes better when you frequently run the water cycle but other than that it's so easy to maintain.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We decided to move away from Kruig and purchased a new Vertuo Next. We love it!! I like the carafe and larger size offerings.
Bought this machine 3 months ago. Makes great coffee. Does need to be cleaned regularly which is no problem.
The low star rating is due to the extremely difficulty to open and close latch. Been trying ti figure out why my thumb is sore and bruised. It’s from injury due to this machine. The machine should not require so much force to to make 2-3 cups of coffee per day.

This one is awful. Fails after a few months. Been thru multiple units. Not sure why they still sell it. It doesnt work half the time and when it finally does it leaks coffee all over the place from the bottom. Running the weekly rinse cycle and descaling regularly doesnt prevent it from malfunctioning. I stayed on top of it after the first one failed but it still had the same problems. AVOID!
