Easy Open & Close
on March 22, 2026
Posted by: Tired New Mama
from Morgantown, WV
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I replaced my previous Vertuo machine with this new Vertuo Up. It has made a world of difference. With a newborn I needed something easy to open and shut one handed and this was just the fix I needed!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Disappointed
on March 21, 2026
Posted by: Kat
It’s cute and makes a good cup of coffee. However, the technical design is terrible. Coffee leaks into the pod tank after the pod is released with every cup of coffee. It makes a mess and is not sanitary - mildew grows quickly in the tray. Stay away from this if you want a clean machine and counter.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your review, Kat. While a small amount of water may leak into the drip tray, or capsule container, we ask that you call if this seems excessive. We look forward to hearing from you at 800.562.1465.

Two Machines, Same Defect
on March 21, 2026
Posted by: Greg
from New York, NY
I purchased a Nespresso Vertuo Up expecting a product that consistently works. Instead, I’ve now been through two separate units with the identical issue: water leaves the tank but dumps into the interior of the machine rather than out of the front spout. No coffee is produced. The lever locks fully, the pod is seated correctly, and there are no error lights — the machine simply fails to do the one thing it’s designed to do.
After troubleshooting the first unit extensively — priming attempts, reseating the water tank, verifying the lock mechanism — I returned it and received a replacement. The second unit has the exact same issue out of the box. Two machines with the same failure points to a design or manufacturing issue, not user error. I had multiple other people try both machines and no one could fix it.
For a machine at this price point, this is unacceptable. I’m disappointed that Nespresso launched a new product with what appears to be an unresolved water routing problem, and I’d encourage anyone considering the Vertuo Up to wait until these issues are addressed. I’ve been a Nespresso customer in the past and genuinely want to continue being one, but I can’t recommend this machine in its current state.

Functionally disastrous, aesthetically pleasing
on March 18, 2026
Posted by: David in NJ
from NJ
Aesthetics aside, this machine is awful. It brews horizontally so it's extremely susceptible to residue remaining in the machine and baking in unless you're diligent about flushing it with water after each brew. Its discharge mechanism is also terrible -- after each brew, a lot of coffee residue and water is sent into a plastic container that somehow doesn't actually contain these substances. Every time I pull it out, theres water and coffee on my countertop. What a design disaster, and what a huge step back for the Nespresso brand. Cannot believe, after years of refining designs, this is where we're at. Completely regret this purchase.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your review, David. It is normal to have some residual water collect in the capsule basket. We recommend emptying the capsule basket regularly to prevent overflow. If you have additional concerns or wish to speak further with a machine expert, please call us at 1-800-562-1465. We're available 24/7.

Great new product!
on March 16, 2026
Posted by: allanjohn
from San Jose, CA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this about a month ago. My old machine had problems due to non use so we opted for a new one. I love the design, so cute. It works great and I love the features, such as changing the temp and quantity. The only downside is that the trash basket can get a little wet with coffee. Other than that we love it!

Better than what you’d go out for
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: pblanco4
from Chelmsford, MA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’ve had our Vertuo Up for about 3 weeks and couldn’t be happier. The area we live in has multiple choices, the usual chains and smaller places but they need to be open when you’d like a good coffee or espresso. Now all we need to do is go to the kitchen, pick the beverage we want and it’s ready in a couple of minutes and the quality is as good or better than the places we used to go. We would very highly recommend Nespresso machines and coffees.
