[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this machine. The time from inserting a Vertuo capsule to finished coffee is amazingly fast. The Pearl White is beautiful. Highly recommend.
I just got this machine and I’m obsessed. Not only is it quieter than my other machine but I love the capsule open feature. I got the white and it’s such a sleek and classy machine. The app allows you to set the volume and pick the temperature, I love that.
We bought the new Nespresso Vertuo Up because of the easy-to-use design of its lever. On my first cup of espresso I noticed that the coffee is noticeably hotter than that of my Next machine. Great! Also, two cool new features: The machine has a “warming cup” feature that “brews” water into an empty cup to warm it up. Also, the Nespresso Smart app has a feature that allows me to brew the coffee at hotter or cooler temperatures.
When I saw there was a new machine out, that I could customize my coffee from my phone, I was excited to get it ordered. When I received it And got it all set up what a surprise. First, it’s much noisier than my current unit! Second, after brewing three coffee pods I removed the catch basin and to my surprise there was approximately 1/4 cup fluid in the catch basin. Guess that’s why they designed it to have its own fluid storage under the used pod holder. I currently have a Vertuo plus deluxe and have been very happy with it. Much quieter and NO water in the used pod container. Sooo, back in the box and off to UPS to ship it back for a refund. Guess things don’t always improve with a new model as I feel this is a downgrade. Save your money and buy one of the tried and tested units.
Definitely a level UP! I loved having the privilege to use this dream machine! Compared to my Pop+, you will also not want to turn back. So easy, I loved the connectivity for many reasons, however, the temperature selection was a game changer in app. The machine can read the capsule pod and brew as the collection advised or customize in app and change the temp. The "creations button" was great for cold brew iced or making espresso an addition to your blended beverage or cold brew of choice. It's so easy and fun to spell around with (aka- "make personalized recipes", for the normies). The reveal glasses were neat to see the different layers and foam while it brewed. Wild gadget, that's for sure.
