[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was introduced to Nespresso at an in Amsterdam VRBO. I was the person who rotated coffee-making approaches every year because none were quite right. I went from automatic drip to French press to Keurig to pour over, and none took hold like Nespresso. I'll never switch again. I have been told I have the best cup of coffee in the family.
I bought this a fortnight ago to replace a six year old original Vertuo that gave up. I love the looks of the POP+, and it makes great coffee, even if the mechanics of the brew are a bit akward after using the Vertuo. But I would like to remark that the machine sounds as though it struggles to work: it is relatively noisy compared to the Vertuo, and the hight of the spout is much lower, precluding use of the travel mugs we used previously.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this as a gift and it arrived earlier than expect and is a great product. Love the sleek design and smaller size.
I bought this machine last week and planned to replace it with an older model of the Vertuo that I have. The reason I wanted the Pop Plus was because it brews more sizes like alto/XL, and my current Vertuo only brews four cup sizes. I have use it every day since I purchased it. So far compared to my older model this machine seems more cheaply made. I struggle with close and lock feature each time. Every time I close it down it seems like its not locked in placed and you have to fiddle with it to be sure. The plastic used here just seems cheaper while my older model had a sturdy locking system. Secondly, when I brew coffee this machine seems to produce triple the amount of foam then my other machine when brewing so your left with less coffee and more foam. I am good with an inch or so of foam but this more than half the cup. I have stir each cup to settle the foam which is annoying when I am in a rush in the mornings. Lastly and most important the machine spout is set so low you cant fix your alto (nespresso cup) or a taller cup under the spout! Why oh why if its suppose to brew even larger sizes than my other machine is the spout set to low on this machine. My other machine only brewed up to 7.7 oz and there was still plenty of room to place a large cup underneath. It is so inconvenient and annoying that I have to use two cup when it is process of brewing and then transfer the two cups it brewed into one large cup simply because the spout is set too low to fix my tall cup under it! I regret buying this machine, and having two large sizes to brew was not worth the inconvenience of the short spout and my current nespresso cups not fitting underneath.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
