Great taste, bas design

No doubt the machine makes a great tasting hot cup of coffee, BUT, that isball it does well. They capsule basin is a mess. It collects water, needing to be cleaned daily. My biggest complaint is when I brew a flavored coffee which I only like iced, the next cup of regular coffee tastes like the flavored. I do not like hot flavored coffee at all. It takes 2 full brews of regular capsules to rid the taste of the flavored. I am returning.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchase this machine because I sent my pop+ with my son to college and thought I'd treat myself to an upgrade! So far I am really happy with it. Coffee comes out perfect every time. Does leave a lot more liquid in the catch container, but I usually clear mine out after every brew so it doesn't really bother me. The blue color is really pretty too!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loving the new upgrade. I had an older version. I love that it's hot and cold drink super easy to use I love it and the color is very classy I got the cream
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a difference this is from my old Nespresso coffee maker. Love the connectivity and app features.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love Nespresso machines as they make a perfect froth on coffees and the milk frother is the best because it can be hot or iced.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded from the Vertuo pop to the virtuous Up. I really like the size difference as I tend to brew larger travel mug sized coffees. This machine fits my travel mugs perfectly. I also love the ice coffee setting
Spits out old stagnant coffee from the last run into your new cup to start the brew cycle. 3 replacements had the exact same problem. Either that’s how it’s supposed to work (gross) or the majority of these machines are defective. Either way don’t bother

Hi! We're sorry for the experience you've had with our machines and we would like to assist. Please reach out to us at 1-800-562-1465 and we'll be happy to help troubleshoot.
After our previous machine broke after 5 years, I decided to purchase this model four months ago.
The Pros: The ease of cleaning/descaling the machine through the app The over ice feature The quality of the brew The ability to personalize temp, size, etc in the app
The Cons: The catch basin for used pods is smaller The water basin is smaller It is loud (the machine itself and inserting the pod) There are many pieces to clean
***The MOST SIGNIFICANT CON The amount of liquid that falls into the drip tray/used pod area is excessive. It spills nearly every time we recycle the pods. Additionally, if we don’t empty and clean the tray daily, mold grows quickly in the summer heat. We went on vacation and left in a hurry, forgetting to clean the tray that day. When we returned after 6 days, there were maggots crawling in the tray.
I have been a loyal and loving Nespresso consumer for over 10 years. This is our third machine and the first I have been extremely disappointed in. The required frequency of cleaning in order to maintain basic health and safety standards is overwhelming and detracts from the efficiency of a pod based machine. Before purchasing, I read other reviews about the water in the drip tray/used pod basin, but thought maybe those machines were lemons based on the overall positive average rating. I should have trusted those customers. If I could do it over, I would purchase a different machine.
