Coffee stays in Trash

I returned it within 2 weeks of purchase. You will need to constantly clean the machine as it releases liquid after each use. If you have the other machines, you just need to worry about dumping the "trash" once it's full. Not with the new version. Not only does it hold the "trash" it holds onto liquid as well. Doing 2 pods of coffee, you can expect a shot of liquid in the "trash" that you will throw out. I actually started pouring in an espresso shot glass to prove a point, and it was when I made the final decision to return it. I couldn't fathom the amount of coffee that was being dumped in the "trash" with the used pods.
Had it now for 2 months, and it's the worst I've ever had in 22 years. I have more coffee in the used cap container than in the cup. I clean that thing every day because it is leaving such a mess.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’ve only had it for three weeks but so far we like this machine better than our previous machine. It’s much quieter than our previous machine and heats up almost instantaneously. The capsule being loaded like the original machine is much easier to close. The larger reservoir is a nice bonus.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my 3rd week of owning Nespresso Vertuo Up and I can’t imagine day without it. Love the quality of coffee and espresso. Every coffee lover must have this machine.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had a knock off naspresso for years. After having a cup made from a real one I decided it was worth the splurge. I’ve tried many different methods over the years and this is by far the best.
Poor design holds mold and coffee and only storage for a few pods. Returning immediately
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this to break our expensive coffee habit, and it’s paid for itself faster than we expected. We use it every day and it’s officially claimed the title of most-used appliance in our kitchen 😂 Perfect espresso every time! 👌🏻Best investment we’ve made in a long time.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this machine for about a week now and was a bit worried that there would be a problem with the drip tray that the pods fall into - I saw many people on Reddit complaining that the water build up was simply too much. Thankfully, I have not run into this problem! The water levels were minimal and very manageable, and I really enjoy all the other aspects of this machine. While I do wish the materials were of a higher quality than plastic, the machine works great and makes great coffee.
