Nespresso Vertuo Next Automatic Pod coffee machine for Americano, Decaf, Espresso by Krups in Grey

I did a bit of research before buying my machine. I chose this one because of the price and size. I purchased Nespresso Diavolitto pods to make espresso either on its own, over ice and milk in a tall glass or in steamed milk (I use a milk steamer) for latte's in a big mug and Flat whites in a small mug. I also purchased Stormio pods for a longer 'Americano' style coffee that I just add a bit of cold milk to. The machine itself is sleek and compact. It is EXTREMELY easy to set up and use. You can connect it to your phone so you know what is best for your device and when it needs cleaning. The variety of pods is huge but this machine can only be used with Nespresso Virtuo pods, not Nespresso original or any other brand. Each pod is about 70p on the Nespresso app, but you have to spend a minimum of around £50. I got mine in sets of 30 off Amazon for £28. Nespresso is currently working with Change Please which is an amazing brand/cause (Google it!) The coffee itself is absolutely delicious once you find the one that's works for you. It's worth remembering that most of the espresso pods are single shots (that's how it seems to me anyway) so if you're used to coffee shop coffee, it may taste weak in comparison if you don't buy a level 9 or above, or use 2 pods. I'm an ex barista and I'm really impressed with this little machine. Buy one!

Using Nespresso XN910N40 Vertuo couldn't be easier. Just fill the water tank, put capsule in, close, press the button and you can enjoy perfectly brewed coffee in no time! I must say I do get red flashing alert from time to time, especially when I put the pod in and realise the machine isn't plugged in. Normally would plug it in, open it a bit just so the pod doesn't slide into the container, close back again and press the brewing button. That normally solves the problem. Other than that, perfection. It looks great too.

Love the machine, makes the coffee quickly, can be quite loud tho and the pods are quite expensive

Great value coffee machine.

0 stars if I could. Unusable and not working after 3 months. Have had this line of coffee maker for years and replaced it in August due to moving to a new country. After 3 months, machine will not brew and will not enter descaling mode. Holding the button does nothing and customer service is no help since it was not purchased from Nespresso. It’s useless!!! Complete waste of money. Only purchase directly from Nespresso

I've tried other pod coffee makers in the past but was always disappointed in the tiny amount of coffee and lack of froth (crema). This machine (uniquely) reads a bar code on the pod and dispenses whatever volume of coffee it specifies. So, FINALLY, a full mug of heavily milk-frothed, delicious coffee. (Tip: Put the milk in first before putting the mug in place - you get loads of delicious crema on top).

Great coffee but to me comes at a price as this is my 3rd machine and I won’t be buying another when it dies too. Get very little help when you call they just go through the motions of descaling and cleaning which I was doing anyway… cafetière for me next time less to go wrong!

I love this, makes a great amount of different coffee recipes dependant on what flavour and size pods you chose. It’s super quick and does the best crema. I add frothed milk from my separate milk frother. It’s so quick and easy to use. Also love the look, very expensive looking. Only negative is that buying the pods, you can get them online but so far no one has been making any other compatible pods like they do with the other Nespresso machines (not this one which is the vertuo range! If you go for a normal Nespresso you can buy compatible pods in lots of supermarkets and online including different brand coffee flavours. Hopefully it won’t be long til other companies get onto creating compatible ones! But all in all I love it and totally recommend, I’ve saved a fortune by not getting a coffee shop daily morning coffee… bonus!
