Wow. Constant problems. Making a cup of coffee has never been such a pain. Every morning for two weeks I've looked at this machine and asked "Are you going to make coffee this morning?" Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. New capsules, two cups over the course of an hour and constant error messages. It was a gift, which makes it even worse. The latch on my previous coffeemaker broke, but guess what I've gone back too? Yes, holding the top down for three minutes while it brews. I used to have a Nespresso (older model) that worked fine but I gave a way when I moved. This one is awful.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve tried a number of coffee machines in my life and to my dismay, the coffee tasted either too weak or bitter-until now. When I purchased the Nespresso Vertuo coffee maker, I tried a variety of different flavors and they all tasted wonderful! I’m going to recommend this superb machine to friends.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a month ago and I am so happy that I did! Easy to use and brews a “barista in a cafe” quality cup of coffee and shot of espresso. I’m so glad I made the switch to nespresso!
Ive had to buy three (3) machines. The first two did not descale correctly despite my neurotic attention to the kinda detailed you tube videos, buying the pricey de-scaler pouches, and scrupulous detail to keeping the machine clean--the light was always funky on top, signaling a problem.
Although it's an iffy machine, it does (when working properly) make decent coffee with horrendously pricey capsules, and has a smallish foot print on my small counter. I used store-bought water, with NO additives, as my tap in this county is considered "hard"; I do not wanna destroy this small machine with lousy water. Despite careful daily attention to detail, it still required my purchasing three machines, which I am not happy about. The"traditional" decanter-style machines better engineered for longevity. Perhaps you will have better luck.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
