[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Vertuo Up to replace an original Vertuo Breville machine which gave me good service until recently when it grew very loud and started leaking. The Vertuo Up provides a couple of major improvements to the old machine. 1) It brews coffee at a much higher temperature. This was a weakness with the old machine, as I like my coffee hot. With the old machine I had to pre-heat the coffee cups to compensate. 2) The Vertuo UP accepts the larger pods that can brew 12 and 18 oz coffee 3) The mechanism that punctures and loads the pods is easier to use 4) The new machine can connect to my WiFi to allow control from my IPhone. With the Nespresso app I can control brewing temperature and brewed cup volume. It is also useful for maintenance procedures and getting coffee recipes.
The machine has a compact footprint on the counter and easily fits under the kitchen cabinets, even when the pod loader is fully extended up.
Before making my decision to purchase I visited my local Nespresso Boutique where I was able to compare it to other models and try the machine out before buying. It was a great experience and sealed the deal. I have no purchase regrets.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgraded my old Nespresso. Love the color and sleek design, plus the ability to customize the temp. It was well worth the upgrade!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received as a gift. Love the sleek size that makes a variety of coffee sizes. Coffee is delicious, I’m hooked!
This will be my 3rd Nespresso Vertuo machine. In general, I have found the Vertuo Up to be adequate. I appreciate the very quick warm-up time and slim profile of the unit. That being said, overall, the machine has a cheap feel to it. It's pretty much entirely plastic and just has a sort of flimsy/cheap feel to it compared to previous machines that had stylish chrome accents. My second complaint is that the "smart features" are very underwhelming. First, you'll need a separate app "Nespresso Smart" to connect your machine. Once connected, you will be presented with a very limited number of "smart" features. Given the emphasis on connectivity for this particular machine, I was expecting a bit more in terms of smart features. Perhaps this will improve over time. Overall, I would say I prefer my original Evoluo.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I treated myself for my birthday and I am so happy I did. The 3 second warm up is fantastic for those I'm running late mornings. It is not the quietest machine but not bad either. The coffee is smooth as always, the ability to adjust the temp and pour size is also great I look forward to what other features might come with the wifi enablment.
