Disappointed

I just bought this machine after my Vertuo Next stopped working and I decided to forgo sending it back in to most likely never get repaired. I purchase this machine due to its smaller size and ability to make larger sizes of coffee than my old Next. This machine is a disappointment in quality. It does not have the same quality aesthetic as my chrome Next, it has plastic parts where my Next had metal and it is so loud when making coffee! My husband said it sounds like a lawn trimmer. Despite this, the coffee it brewed was good and hot. However, I am going to return this machine due to its overall aesthetic and part concerns so that I can buy either a more basic model and forgo the larger size pod capability :( or splurge on the Latissima. My concern with the Latissma is that I can see it has the same locking mechanism as the Next which was always difficult to shut, it has plastic vs metal parts that I saw in the online video, and people say the milk froth isn’t hot enough. Also, I’m concerned these newer models are not going to last if they have cheapened their manufacturing like so many companies have done post COVID due to supply chain issues, inflation, freight and labor cost increases. It’s an unfortunate time we live in right now.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Sounds like a Harley Davidson when it brews and coffee leaks out of the bottom. Returning.

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to learn that your Vertuo Pop+ machine is not functioning to your satisfaction. We can only imagine how disappointing it is when you’re not able to brew your favorite Nespresso blends, and we apologize for any inconvenience. It is normal for all Nespresso machines to make some noise during operation. Please keep in mind the following factors that may be contributing to the noise: • New machines with brand new pumps will produce less noise over time. • If operating without water in the tank, the pump will be louder. • A capsule in the capsule chamber will dampen the noise of the pump. • The machine should be stable, with four rubber feet on the bottom. If any rubber feet are missing, it may cause an abnormal vibration. • The ideal surface for the machine should be solid and flat such as hard wood or a granite countertop. Should you require additional assistance, we are pleased to offer a lifetime of troubleshooting 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, via the toll-free number 800-562-1465. Your machine comes with a one-year warranty. We offer repair & replacement options via our Assistance Service Program.
Received as a gift from my daughter so I am forced to use it. I still have my Mocha Master which makes super-hot, enjoyable coffee. The Nespresso only makes slightly hot cup coffee which forces me to drink the coffee quickly before it cools off. No chance to enjoy the coffee. My wife adds milk so she must microwave the coffee to get it hot. I did write a review but never heard back. What is the temperature of the coffee coming out of the Nespresso supposed to be?
