Review on Breville Nespresso Vertuo Next BNV550GRY Espresso Machine with Aeroccino in Light Grey by Billy Branch

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Good idea but poor design in several areas.

I really liked it until it started dripping. I took it apart and found that the water injector gasket that attaches the hose to the rotating group head is very thin and the material is not silicone or rubber and the paper material is no thicker than cardboard. Since the seal twists around the tube bib when brewing coffee and the material appears to be poor quality, I am returning it and not requesting a warranty repair. Since it leaks over the brew head, there are a lot of problems. What fits: 1. The bearing can rust and stop 2. The brew button circuit board can be corroded. It is only protected from external moisture.3. Water flows towards the rear of the machine when opened and then drains into a cavity in the hinge area and potentially into the electronics. By tilting the machine, the collected water flows through the floor. When enough is collected, it just flows out on its own, forming a puddle under your car. This can cause all sorts of problems. Bluetooth/Wi-Fi is a joke. So far there is no interaction with the application. The main purpose is to update the firmware and keep track of what type of coffee you are brewing.

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Everything ok
