Review on ☕ Nespresso Vertuo Next Classic Black: Premium Coffee and Espresso Machine by Breville by Jasmine Camagay

Revainrating 2 out of 5

1st cup not hot enough, leaking water, programming issues

This was my first Nespresso purchase. I bought this for my wife as a birthday present, she was quickly disillusioned. Return of the goods in a few days. We encountered the following problems: With each brew, water seeped into the funnel and from the bottom of the machine. It must have been a bad block. The result is water all over the counter after each use. - Obtained about 1 correct brew in 3 attempts. Almost immediately, yellow and orange began flashing. Then the correct amount of water for the capsule used will not be brewed. Finally frozen. - Since there is a button/indicator for everything, you have to spend a lot of time deciphering the different flashing colors. Some colors are not included in the documentation. That way you have no idea why it's not working. - I restarted the device, but that didn't help. However, you can get a device that works well, so I have listed the following assuming your device will work well. Pros: - The coffee had a good crema and taste (if prepared correctly) - The smaller size is good for small jobs - The cup platform is very stable and can be adjusted to 3 different heights. - Returning to Revain was very easy. Cons: - Coffees that are wider than cups won't fit on the cup platform. It is required that the bottom of the cup is narrower. - No "water only" brewing option for tea lovers. (The only way to brew water is to empty the used pod and make it look like you're brewing a cup of coffee.) - The first cup of coffee was never very hot, so we started with an empty one Pad to use to make coffee. Brew one cup so the next cup is hot enough. Otherwise, adding milk/cream to your coffee will make it too cold to enjoy. The size of the water tank is much smaller than other models. It becomes more of a problem when you have to spend the first boil to get it hot enough. Not all possible combinations of flashing error codes are documented in the manual. A Google search also leads to conflicting explanations/conjectures from users as it is not clearly documented. Thus, it is obvious that these errors can occur frequently. - Connected to Bluetooth but could not proceed to the next step related to connecting to Wi-Fi. I have a very strong mesh WiFi router with excellent signal but it still can't connect. I even tried reducing the signal to 2.4Hz but still couldn't connect. - Turns off after 2 minutes, making it difficult to set up if you encounter problems. Even a 5 minute time frame would do better.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Unsure
