Just tried it out for the first time and after my third brew.. it brewed inside of the machine leaked everywhere inside, coffee grounds everywhere… not a single ounce of coffee made it to the cup… they need to redesign this so the pod goes horizontal not vertical you lose so much coffee
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine makes the perfect cup of coffee! I really didn’t need a new machine, but it looked too pretty to pass up and I wanted to try the creations mode. It’s wonderful. Worth it!
I bought the Up to replace my third Next machine, as I can't seem to keep a Next working for more than a year. I also keep a Pop on hand as a backup because, as much as I love my Nespresso, the machines don't seem to last very long. I am a strict iced coffee drinker, and I use a large cup. I usually remove the cup holder, and everything works fine. With this unit, removing the bottom cup holder pulls out the entire capsule container, so it isn't a good option. The other problem is that coffee leaks into the capsule container when you brew, creating a bit of a mess when you empty it. One last thing I will mention is that the top of the machine is more of a champagne gold color.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] love the machine... it's well designed and much slimmer than anticipated. the new app works well and I love being able to control the temp and size of the pour. The tank holds a good amount of water and the pod holder holds a good amount of empty pods. it also heats up extremely quickly. my only complaint is the inside drip tray does collect liquid for some reason. not sure if that is a defect or it's supposed to but it's a lot more than any other Nespresso machine I've owned and it forces you to check it often and empty it so it doesn't over flow
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the look of this machine as much as Nespresso coffees! The small footprint and clean design is perfect.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've had this for a few weeks, it's a great little machine and has a nice small footprint. Does the same job as our Breville Vertuo machine but easier to clean and quicker to startup.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] bought this to my previous vertuo which passed it's time. As promised, it is quick & quicker to make hot coffee has a nice sleek look
