Lets get the good out of the way. The latest machine has been great at making coffee. Compared to my previous preference French Press. The bad is first it took over 3 machines to get to that point, and now even the good machine is failing.
So let's back up, attempt #1 - I bought a refurbished machine at first, the price was excellent. Unfortunately the water tank leaked all over my counter the first moment I filled it up. Never got to even try it. and since it was refurbished I had to buy my own pods so was stuck with the option to throw away all the pods or try another. I foolishly went with the.... #2 - After returning the first I decided to try a new machine. Opted for the Vertuo Next (same as first). This worked for 3 months and honestly in hindsight the coffee wasn't that special, more comparable to French Press It also leaked into the spent pod bin a bit (not as much as what follows). This slowly started to not-recognizing the pods anymore. I was able to limp it along with frequent cleanings, almost daily but that is a waste of energy and time, something the machine was supposed to resolve. #3 - After contacting support, and RMA'd the machine, the next machine seemed to send too much coffee into the overflow pod bin. Coffee was flat, and it eventually just sent all the caffee to the overflow when 'brewing' getting all on the counter top. This was less than 3 weeks after receiving. #4 - This started out great out of the box. The coffee was immediately so many times better than anything before it, exceeding most coffee shops. This is how it should have been from the get go. I took care of it, only filtered water, weekly rinse cycles if not more, descaling at least every 3 mo before prompting from the machine.... No issues for about a year. Then the same problem as #2. It just stopped recognizing pods. It rinses, cleans, descales, motor moves, but will not recognize pods. There is no manual override on these either which is if you could may get around some of the issues. And by an override, I mean a way to force a brew parameters even when the barcode is not recognized.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought my machine about 8 months ago. I love, love, love my machine. I do not understand some of these poor reviews. I have great coffee every morning, and whenever I want a cup.

Lasted less than a year

When it works it’s great. However it’s wasn’t even a year and I had to send it in for repair. 4 months later it broke again. So we bought the pop. It’s starting with the same no. Sense. These machines have great coffee. BUT they are not built to last and the warranty is GARBAGE. We are now considering switching to a ninja. 4 Nespresso machines later. ( within 3 years ) RIDICULOUS do better

Don’t buy the Vertuo Next model!
on October 24, 2023
Posted by: Coffeegalri
I’ve had this Nespresso next machine for less than two years and it really has been temperamental out if the box. Today it started throwing error messages and flashing the message it needed to be cleaned, despite the fact it was descaled last week and is cleaned regularly. I treat the machine well and only use filtered water and clean it regularly. This model was purchased for my home office and is a bust! I would not recommend purchasing it. For reference, I’ve had a Vertuo Evoluo model that’s run without issue for four years and makes better tasting coffee than the Next model that broke.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this machine! It’s my second one after having my first for about 3 years. It lasts awhile if you keep up with descaling.
