works great and makes great coffee, until it works!! frequent software and hardware issues reported, i have had two of these both similar issues including not detecting the pod, not brewing, different blinking-colored lights (blue light green, etc.) it seems this design has a lifetime of 1-2 years max until it breaks down and not be able to brew coffee.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I previously owned the VertuoPlus until it gave out after 2 years. I thought getting the Vertuo Next was going to be the next step up. Wrong. It's a significant downgrade from the VirtuoPlus. Some of the inconveniences this model has compared to the Plus include: 1) The space between cup shelf and the nozzle is smaller, so now my larger mugs won't fit. Taking the holder off and putting the cup on the counter isn't a help, as the coffee nozzle is too close to the machine and drips it down the side of the larger mug 2) The water tank is significantly smaller 3) Machine feels cheap and rickety, and always feels like its one lid close away from falling apart. 4) The pods drop into a much smaller holder 5) The holder of the empty pods is disgusting. It is virtually impossible to dump it out without getting coffee grounds or black liquid everywhere. Whoever designed it clearly never tried emptying it before putting it on the market. Overall this model looks sleek, but is a significant step backward for a company we have loved for years. We have heard very similar complaints from 2 other friends who also purchased this model.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m so happy with my Nespresso!! I usually have to drink sweet coffee and now I don’t I just needed a smoother better tasting coffee with the right h20!! I’m hooked on the variety of flavors and the Limited Kona Coffee
I was gifted this from my husband Feb 2021. It was constantly plagued by the orange blinking light and water coming out of the bottom of the machine. Seems to be a very common issue with this line of machines. I cleaned the unit weekly and after descaling (what an arduous process!) one time, I had more issues. I spent 10 or so hours troubleshooting and disassembling the machine (it was out of warranty) to see if there were any obvious signs of fault. The overflow had backed up. I cleaned it out and still orange blinky button. The machine could go through a cleaning cycle but not read a pod to brew.
Stay far away from this particular line. Also, the entire bottom inside the machine was caked in coffee grounds and coffee residue from where it had been leaking. Definitely not safe!!!

Despite your warranty status, we offer a lifetime of comprehensive troubleshooting. Machine experts are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 800-562-1465.
We’ve had three that all stopped working after about three months. Great up until that point! But soooooo unreliable and short-lived. Choose a different model.
