[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had an original capsule Pixie Nespresso machine that we liked to take when we travel . I was looking for a Vertuo machine that would replace this that would mean that we only had to purchase the Vertuo capsules and not the original. This seemed like the same size. Although it is close to the same size, it is a bit bigger and it seems to be louder and heavier than the original. We just returned from a trip with it and it did not handle my Altissio capsules well and I had to use two just to get a decent amount of coffee in my cup. I'll give it another try, but so far not impressed with the machine's operation.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi, thank you for your review. We understand that the Vertuo Pop Plus does not meet your expectations as the Pixie did. We’d like to note that they are different technologies and uses different brewing methods. While the Pixie uses a pressure method to brew, the Vertuo Pop Plus uses a rotation brew method, reading a barcode to dispense the coffee/espresso. If the Espresso (1.35 ounce) pour for the Vertuo Pop Plus is too short, you may program your machine to brew the capsule at a larger pour, or brew two capsules to get your desired pour, or you can brew one capsule twice (known as a top off). We recommend running a priming cycle through your machine once a week to assist with keeping the taste, texture, body, and aroma in each brew. We also recommend descaling your machine every three months or 300 capsules, whichever comes first. If you need assistance with your Vertuo Pop Plus, please do not hesitate to contact us through our toll-free number, 800-562-1465. Each machine comes with at least a one-year warranty and lifetime troubleshooting assistance. Thanks!
