[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how easy & convenient the Nespresso Up machine is. I drink hot coffee or espresso in the morning & iced coffee during the day, this little machine is ready to brew in 3 seconds & takes less than 3 minutes for either. I really like that you just press the Coffee Creations button for a less diluted, concentrated brew over ice. So simple.
The machine itself takes up very little countertop space & I like that the water tank can be moved to either side or left behind the machine. I also appreciate that it can use so many different capsule sizes & that the capsules are recyclable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought for a friend who has just started drinking coffee—-he has been enjoying every cup each day!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love this machine. It’s so quick and I love the iced coffee feature and am thrilled that I don’t have to deal with diluted coffee flavor anymore when I make iced coffee !
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Vertuo Up in Ink Black for about a month now, and overall it’s a really solid machine. It heats up quickly, the coffee tastes great, and the sideways‑brewing design actually makes it feel a bit more modern and compact on the counter.
The only downside I’ve noticed is the used‑capsule container. Because the machine brews horizontally, some water or coffee tends to drip into the container after brewing. It’s not a huge issue, but it does mean you’ll want to empty and rinse it more often than you might expect.
Aside from that small quirk, the machine has been reliable, easy to use, and a great addition to my morning routine.
I hardly ever write reviews, but this machine made me do it. I decided to buy this model because I thought the extra features, such as the appearance and the ability to adjust the temperature, were very important. But that was until I had to clean it: after each brewing cycle, there was a huge dirty puddle of coffee spilled all over the trash can. By the way, the CS is aware of this problem and admits that puddles may occur. I returned the model and settled on the Naxt, which I am very happy with. Thank you.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Vertuo Up is a superb advance over the previous models because it is fast and quiet, but most of all because the capsule insertion system is simple and quick to use. The footprint is slimmer, and the ability to rotate the water tank from left to right or in the middle allows adapting it strategically to different countertop situations. Altogether, a great values!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this coffee/espresso maker a month ago because my father had one similar and it made the best coffee that wasn't bought in a coffee store. The selections are all great. Haven't tried the iced coffee yet but my wife loves iced coffee so I'll give it a try for her. Highly recommend the machine.
