Nespresso VertuoPOP Dark Gray Coffee and Espresso Maker by Breville

This was my replacement for my expensive Nespresso machine I bought last year that died shortly after setting it up. So far this mini has managed to work better than my expensive Nespresso machine and Keurig machine combined. With myself with 2 teenagers and a college student in the house we are always using both Nespresso and Keurig machines.

I bought this as a gift for my in-laws and they love it! Downside is that there is less variety of the coffee pods and they have to order straight from Nespresso which is quite pricey but they do not mind since they have been able to up their game with coffee since getting the machine. I have been a Nespresso consumer for some years now and these new machines really do give you a really high quality cup of coffee, can't wait until more companies are able to sell pods that can be used for this type of machine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the machine! Fast water warming, same outcome as the big virtuo machines at a fraction of their price! Cool, space efficient design.

I absolutely love this espresso machine. It delivers the quality and flavor of a traditional espresso machine but so much more ease. The onnnnnnly downside is that the pods are much more expensive than other machines but the quality is better so you get what you pay for 🤷🏾‍♀️

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The versatility this machine offers is great but it is quite a bit louder than our previous vertuo machine and it seems to dilute the coffee down a bit more so the bold nespresso flavor we're used to isn't quite there. Also the machine is more cheaply manufactured which can be felt in the flimsy water reservoir and floating tray (now made of plastic).

I am on my third Nespresso machine, the latest being a Pop. Just tossed that one in the trash this morning, after it stopped working and made a huge mess on my counter by leaking coffee all over. These machines do not last. I love the coffee but these machines are not durable. I clean it regularly, despite the cleaning cycle being complicated to engage. I get that with a small compact machine, there is no room for a "cleaning cycle" button. However, the instructions require watching the video each and every time. It's a ridiculous sequence of turning the handle and pressing the button in multiple presses. I am thinking of going back to a manually operated espresso machine.

I have had many different Nespresso coffee makers thru the years ,but not sure about UP. the 1st UP machine i purchased did not work out of the box had to return it. i just received my new UP machine . It feels and looks very cheapy . The drawer where the used pods go makes a mess ,not sure why the used pods are swimming in coffee water and i have been trying to set up the Bluetooth connection but i cannot get it to link -come on Nespresso you can do better

I bought this machine a little over a year ago, was working perfectly fine, kept it clean. The other day, an entire coffee pod was poured through the bottom of the machine. Tried cleaning it and the solution went through the bottom as well. Created an mess. This was my second time getting this machine, as last one died at the 2 year mark. I don't know what do, have a lot of pods but the machines break down. Big let down with these machines. Have now went through 3 machines in about a 5 year time frame.

If you want a cute decoration, but something that doesnt work-- this machine is for you. I should have followed my intuition when I first it-- the opening mechanism seemed very cheap and not smooth at all, but I loved the yellow color they offered. I bought my vertuo pop+ last april, but did not start using it until August in college-- after about 6 months of use, the opening mechanism got very stiff. Now, 2 months later I have to forcefully open and close it with 2 hands its so stiff. Once closed it blinks red each time so I have to open and close it about 2-3 times to adjust with each brew before it will work. Like I predicted, the opening mechanism is very cheap and honestly just poorly designed. I have performed all the suggested maintenance in my instructions within the intervals stated, and it still makes coffee that is warm, not hot with huge amounts of foam. My family has a VertuoPlus deluxe and that has held up for years-- get this instead. I started the process to claim a warranty for my machine, but unfortunately I was 20 days too late -- Sad because its basically useless now after 10 months. Unfortunately its a beautiful machine and would be perfect for my small apartment, but not if it doesn't work...

They sent me the wrong one, the one that I was waiting on was like cappuccino machine. It had a froth or this one here that came to me did not I had to get up and go ride around and find me one I never could so I just came home and went to Amazon and ordered one so much easier.
