This is my 2nd Keurig coffee maker of this model. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf The first worked fine for more than 2 years, and I could still get a decent cup of coffee out of it if I fiddled with it when I decided to replace it. The problem I had with my first unit was this: When attempting to brew a cup of coffee, the unit would either keep brewing until the coffee was undrinkable or it would not run long enough and the coffee produced was way too strong. I cleaned the unit as best I could but it did not help. So in the end it was just too much trouble to get a good cup of coffee out of it, so I decided to replace it with a new one, which has been working great since I unpacked it.
Thank you for posting this. I just received my Nespresso Vertuo and I enjoyed watching the video. I love my machine! Thanks again!
I have had mine for 3 months and just love it!
What a lovely video! You're so kind to take the time to go over the product. We really appreciated your review. We just purchased this machine and we pick it up on this coming Friday. So excited now that we've viewed your video. Well done! And we absolutely love your manner. So well spoken, calm and thorough. Wish I could meet you and have a cup.

I just purchased a Pixie forcreview but I love it so much I'm keeping it. Review is 30% filmed! Thanks for watching & commenting!!
I've just been given one of these as my Christmas present and found your video tutorial very helpful. Many thanks for the effort that you obviously put into it.
Thanks for taking the time to do this very handy review, operating instructions etc. I too have the same machine and absolutely love it. So easy to use, clean and very versatile, I too would recommend this coffee machine xx
Awesome! Thanks for watching!!
Thnx for taking the time to make this video.
One of my old vertuo machines has finally given up so on your recommendation i have purchased the same machine as yours from AO which is due for delivery tomorrow.
Great news! We've had ours almost a year now and it's used 2-4 times a day. No problems so far apart from needing a descale. Thanks for watching and please feel free to share your experiences in this thread.
Thank you for taking time to make such a fantastic review.
Thank you for the review! I just got mine and I love it! ☕️
This was a great review. I had the same anxiety as the other viewers. The unboxing was great. I didn’t want to miss a thing! Just what I needed to see to make my decision on what to buy. Thank you for taking the time and your thorough review. Good Day😃
might be tad late, but amazon are selling them for £69.99
Fantastic deal, get one!!
I just ordered my Nespresso and it’s exactly this model. I can’t wait to receive thank you for posting! :)
If you ever get the red ring of death call them they will pick up for free leave you with a temporary one and redeliver your fixed one. Brilliant service
I'M SO EXCITED FOR MINE THANK U FOR THIS
Great review, thank you. Just got mine today after 8 + years with my tired old Pixi. Stand back!!! This is space age in comparison! What a machine!!
I have a Pixie too. Love it!
Had mine about 12 months now and totally agree with everything in your excellent review...quality machine and quality coffee!
Great video. I ordered mine today and can’t wait to receive it. Especially now I’ve seen this. Thanks
Thanks great info I knew nothing about this type of coffee maker so info well taken on board!
After a headache of ads and robot voices this video kinda sold the machine for me. Thanks!
I will say that the customer service is excellent
Thank you for taking the time to respond to my inquiry, I purchased
the Nespresso, the same model as in your video, I've had it for about one week and I am completely satisfied with the product. I am currently experimenting with the different types of coffees and searching for a favorite. Thanks again!
You're most welcome! Enjoy your new machine:)
Thank you so much for making this video. I just got my Nespresso Vertuo Plus machine as a gift and I have no clue how to use it, I have always only used "Mr. Coffee" coffee makers, I have a lot to learn. Thanks again! Your video has me excited about my new machine.
Well I reslly hope you have as much enjoyment from yours as we have from ours!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
So typical of the English, highly thought-out, very well presented, and a pleasure to view. Nice job.
You should see our Govt.... lol the opposite.
@@richwhilecooper It's no better over here!
Should improve in 18 days assuming the Confederates don't start a second civil war...
Just the English or British?
I love unboxing videos - it’s half the fun :-) nice video!
I’m so excited! I just bought this yesterday. Can’t wait till morning to make my first cup ❤️☕️
I would have not been able to wait 😒 😐
Thanks for the great video. I do not read directions ever. I always watch videos because I am a visual learner. LOL! I now know how to use my machine perfectly.
Thanks! Expect a rundown of the Vertuoline Pixie soon!
Really enjoyed watching this video and found it to be very informative and well presented. It’s helped me make my decision to buy this machine.
Thanks for watching!
Amazing review, thank you! Cheers from Los Angeles!
Just got one of these for my birthday yesterday and I agree the opening and closing of the lid is awesome. Hopefully in the next few days I'll calm down and drink responsibly , totally buzzing trying all the coffee's out 😂😂😂
I still have not after 2.1 years. Even bought a Pixie to compliment it!!
I just purchased my First Nespresso Vertuo Next machine with the Aeroccino 3 frother & I'm stoked after watching your video! I feel you presentation was exceptional & accurate!
Additionally, your accent created the perfect stage for a most informative presentation...I felt I was back in my university days!
Thank you for your efforts in making this highly useful presentation!
My daughter & I are coffee snobs...this machine is TRICK!

Thanks for your kind words! May you & your daughter have many excellent coffees!
Thank you so much, this was incredibly helpful!!
Awesomeness ❣️ I’m obsessed with mine ❤️
Just decided to get one of these after living in an Airbnb with a classic machine. So easy, quick and tasty. Been through every conceivable means of making coffee and convenience is the overriding issue with most methods. Bean to cup machines are too much faff on a daily basis, stove tops require constant cleaning, filter machines just make vaguely coffee flavoured gloop, I’d rather have a good instant than filtered. Pods are a good blend of good tasting coffee and convenience, combine it with a french press for when you have visitors and you are good to go.
I thought mine was leaking today. Turns out the mug was cracked. I am sipping my morning Intenso as I read the comments!
Great Company. Great Coffee
Finally ,a real good machine video. Most video makers must think seeing how 'cool' they can act adds something to the video. You offer a lot more substance, which is why I subscribed. Thanks, will most likely buy the Vertuo plus as soon as I can find the best deal. Hope you're making something out of this.
Thanks a lot. The machine is nearly 3 years old now but the views at least keep me in coffee lol!
@@richwhilecooper Now I understand there is a Veturo Plus and a Veturo Plus Deluxe model, can you tell me all of the differences??? Thanks.
As far as I can tell there are none.
@@richwhilecooper Of course there are differences, size, etc.
I cpuldn't find any images other than the same machine. Can you share a link?
I totally agree! I am LOVING my Nespresso Vertuo Plus. The coffees and cappuccinos are delicious! The options are numerous, and very easy to accomplish. I did opt for the Breville milk frother, only because of the volume it produces, and I was told it made hotter milk as it does have a temp control. Enjoy!!
Thank you for this very useful video because I just bought nespresso.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting! I am shortly going to be making another video looking at coffee temperatures on this machine. I've almost finished my data-collection so just have the filming to do now!
Love this. Cannot wait to buy mine
I received my kit this morning, i am really loving it.
Great news!!
@@richwhilecooper can't believe i got the vertuo plus machine and milk frother and loads of free coffee pods for just £89, in black friday sale. I have been wanting one for so long now. This machine is hands down the best i've ever had, it puts tassimo to shame.
Wow crema like a pint of Guinness!!!
My neighbours think i'm a drunk.
Just got this as a birthday gift from my Brother for when I move into my first house, I am so excited to give this machine a go
Enjoy!!
Check out my recent video on cleaning the Plus... I've found that the standard cleaning cycle does not remove all the coffee residue which, over a long period of time, can build up and cause problems. Had my machine almost 3 years now and still love it!.
Really great video. Thankyou for sharing. I have just bought my machine and am now looking forward to having my first coffee. 🙂
Just having my first Christmas drink. A lungo with Bailey's instead of milk. Wham. Happy holidays lol!!
even though you told us it wasn't going to overflow I still got tense >_>
I can eyeball the milk to within 1 ml now. Expert Level!
@@richwhilecooper lol
Have been wondering which coffee maker to purchase, and thought I’d research this one as I’ve narrowed down the choices. Thanks to your very clear, thorough analysis ( great work to come back 6 months later! ) Rich & wife 😀 ...I am going to order one with a frothier too.
Question now is, do I wait until January in the hope that they will be in the Sales? Humn, I actually don’t think that I can wait that long...these Guinness- like coffees look too good to be waiting. I will see what my neighbours think when they see me drinking them at 8am! Ha ha. Thanks Rich for a very well put together video.
Thanks for watching and your kind comments! Enjoy your new machine. We enjoy ours daily!!
oh how i know that feeling that the mug is too small haha oh i was actually sweating a little in my hands when i watched that first coffee cup being made.
He is correct their customer service is outstanding!!!!
unboxing is gorgeous
Thank you and great review.
Thanks for wstching and commenting!
I have the same machine but made by Krupps and its excellent. I also had an issue with leakage and the customer service was 1st class and I was lent a machine whilst mine was repaired!
That must be the longest unboxing I have ever witnessed.
wakeywarrior 😂
lol
I skipped it lol
Your IQ and common-sense vastly outranks many other commentators!
Thanks for watching!
Packaging is supposed to make you feel Rich$$$$. Yeah. It is overwhelming
Thanks for this. Added to my next shopping list ☺️👍
Black Friday beckons! Thanks for watching & commenting!
@@richwhilecooper thanks for the content!! 😍
Great no nonsense review! I hope you are getting free coffee for this vid, I’ve just placed an order for a vertuo plus based on this review...
I have paid for this machine 20 x with yt earnings! No free coffe as yet :( thanks for watching & commenting! Enjoy ykur new machine. Top tip. When cleaning I get in with an old toothbrush to dislodge dried on coffee. And I run the cycle at least twice.
They are on sale at the moment....just ordered mine!!,thanks for the review
OMG that was a close spill over!
A 'mug' size is a bit too much for these mugs. 6/10 times you get overspill.
Lol love your review. Love the pint of Guinness joke. Exactly what I thought when I saw you make that one.
I just bought the white VertuoPlus and took advantage of the Spring offers where I got an aeroccino, 50 capsules and 1st and 6th month of a coffee subscription, free. Love it. Got a Tassimo (My Way 2) too but there is no comparison, for they are two very different machines; the Nespresso coffee is far superior, in my opinion.
I bet it looks stunning in white!
@@richwhilecooper goes great with my kitchen decor. I like yours, too; the chrome details look really nice.
I love your kitchen and backsplash sir!
Thanks but if you saw the rest of it you'd see in needs a refresh lol!
Nice review Rich! I got the exact same combination of machine and milk-frother for Christmas (total surprise) along with 100 free pods! We do have a Dolce Gusto pod machine which is great for the creamier coffees, but the Nespresso with the frother is a great combination, and with the different sizes of pods for the Vertuo, you can create some really nice cappuccino's and latte's etc. Aslo, the recycling of the pods is a bonus as I was starting to feel guilty about the Dolce Gusto pods, which are plastic.
What site did you purchase from and how do you get the 100 free pods?
I bought it from the Nespresso site and it just happened to be the offer they were running at the time.
@@richwhilecooper Okay 👌 thank you 😊
@@smartinez8831 the Nespresso site was doing this deal over Black Friday period,but I think they do it occasionally at other times. You could sign up to their newsletter!
@@andycorbett207 I think 🤔 I will actually do that, thank you! 😊
Great video, thank you, I have just got mine today. For the initial cleaning procedure, you say put at least 2 litres of water in the reservoir but how much of this is used? I only have a 1/2 litre jug to collect the cleaning water, can I pause the cleaning cycle while I empty the jug and then resume?
There's time to quickly empty during the cycle if you're reasonably quick.
I have had my machine now for 4 or 5 years, it used everyday without problem. The only complaint I have is that Nespresso coffee pods are expensive.
I tend to drink more esspresso & doubles and fewer mug sized (apart from mornings). It keeps the cost down. I may by an original machine for comparison!
Try a company. Intelligent blends. I use them. Get great pods for a better price than local grocery store and they ship to the door.
Excellent video!
Fantastic presentation, you covered all bases and gave an honest opinion. You should consider signing up to do voice over work👍👌
Yes thanks lol. I love my VertuoPlus and will willingly shill on it on social media!! 2 years (nearly) and still making my life better with tasty coffee.I'm sure there is huge demand for my nasal monotone midlands accent but I think it would be highly niche!!
Love!
I purchased this exact machine today! I cannot wait to open it. Thank you for your insightful review, would you recommend the milk frother? Do you use it? Cheers!
Yes and yes. The frother makes the machine far more versatile as it enables you to make a bigger variety of drinks.
Love the music 😊
hi just got mine can't wait for xmas to open it please where did you get the capsule rotunda from its lovely great video thanks keep them up thanks clive in nottingham.
Thanks for the kind comments, Clive. The rotunda was an Amazon purchase. I just searched nespresso vertuo pod storage. Lots of options mostly pretty cheap.
I always thought nespresso were only espresso makers, but they sell coffee pods too? that’s great!
Coffee is easily as good or better than what you get at Starbucks or Neros.
Great, I need to get one ASAP!
Holy Cow, so much packaging. But a great machine. the coffee looks great. maybe my next purchase. I have owned a Swiss Turmix Gran Maestro for many years. Descale once a year, so far I haven't had to do anything else
Owned ours 2.5 years. Still great. Havd a Pixie too. Love 'em both!
It's so beautiful . . .
thanks lovely vid helped a lot
Thanks for watching! So glad you found it useful. I've a few other Nespresso related videos and will be posting one on the small Pixie machine soon (which is our travelling machine for holidays).
Well presentation thanks
Hi thank you for the video. I have both traditional and vertuo machine. Somebody gave me a lot of vertuo cups now but I prefer espresso coffee. Can I drink vertuo long coffee (230ml) as espresso coffee (80ml) or is too strong and not good?
I don't know ... you can stop the water mid-brew. Would be an expensive espresso though.
Great video
Did your Nespresso mahine and frother come with all those coffee pods as a special offer? If not, were the coffee pods an add-on to your machine order?
They were a promotional offer on the Nespresso website. I think the whole lot including the machines and pods was about £200.
Great video! It’s probably a daft question, but which capsules are best for making milky coffees with the aeroccino? Would it be the espresso ones or can you use any (and adjust the amount of milk accordingly)?
Any really but I mainly use double and single espressos. Occasionslly lungo.
@@richwhilecooper thank you!
In terms of amount of coffee, i dont drink enough that would fill up a full pint cup, I drink it so that it fills up a normal tea cup. Will this machine be able to distinguish between the two or would it always overfill excessively? Thanks for the great review btw!
It detects how much water to use based on the pod size. The Alto pods make nearly a pint but the single and double espressos use a LOT less water. Also, you can cut off the water if you want or even run a bit more through the same pod to suit your needs. For me, the 'mug' sizes are great for black coffee (I dont buy the huge pods now). Lungo is a good size being inbdtween mug and double espresso. I tend to use double espressos as a base for latte/cappuccino etc. I have a Pixie machine that uses the originaline pods which I increasingly use for short coffees. With the frother, it's very versatile. I spend too much money on coffee though lol
How do you use the Starbucks Nespresso pods? They are much smaller than the regular Nespresso Pods.
They are the original line size, not for this machine. Those pods are a different design and don't work with this machine, sadly.
Hi thanks fir the review. I find that my aerchino burns the milk and is a pain to clean, so you also have this problem?
No, i make sure it's thoroughly clean after each use. It's easy to accidentally leave milk stuck on the bottom and the burned-on problem is harder to clean. I don't have any issues now.
Hello‼️I have just discovered this video,it’s very complete, so thank you very much for doing it.My question is, where can I get tall cup, and the capsule stand?
The capsule stand was from amazon - search for 'Nespresso Vertuo Pod Storage'. There is a wide selection. The mugs were purchased from a branch of Wilkinsons in the UK. We've had them a long time and it just happens they are the right size for a vertuo mug-size. They work well for lattes with a single or double shot.
Thank you 🙏
Does the size of the pod/capsule determine the size of the drink? I prefer smaller cups of coffee a bit bigger than a macchiato!
The essprsdos are smaller than the doublrs and lungos and mugs are bigger so yes l.
Avoid the haters man, the video was good :)
Cheers Cio!!

"haters"
Eastern European wankeroonie detected.
I've been looking into buying one and was wondering if the coffee is really hot or on the colder side of hot? I've had machines in the past which didn't produce overly hot coffee (cough Tassimo cough)
I made another video on coffee temperature. Many pods sampled.
I've just purchased my machine I've noticed coffee still left in the pods after use and how many cups of coffee do you get with one pod
One. The second cup would be like dishwater.
Does anyone know why my cup don’t fill all the way just like half cup sometimes less than half.
Which pod are you using?
To each their own, but I tried one of these (as in , purchased one) and the coffee was very sub-par to both pour-over for large brews and an actual espresso machine for espressos/latte etc. The "crema" is not crema at all, it's just foam from the spinning action. It's only value proposition to me was convenience. I already have a Keurig and old-school nespresso for the times I don't want to fire up my double boiler espresso machine or pull out the V60 pour over gear. The final nail in the coffin was the crazy pod cost and lock-in. I even tried refills with my premium beans I grind myself, it was better but not cost effective.
It's not expensive at all. Not to me anyway. I guess their are cheaper alternatives if you are on a budget. I like the convenience and consistency and the lack of mess.
Does it work with the old capsules (non-vertuo capsules) as well?
No ):
I have had many machines and they don't seem to keep my coffee warm. Is the coffee nice and hot
I address this is another video...
ua-cam.com/video/DgEGe0THU-s/v-deo.html
Do you use the frother with heavy cream? How annoying is the frother to clean with frequent use?
No I don't use cream often ... sometimes i put cream in milk to make it denser. I clean after every use with hot water and a dish-sponge. I lways remove the rubber seal from the lid too .The frother attachment with a brush. Takes about a minute and 30 seconds
Can I ask if the sound is quite when it makes a coffee ? I have a delonghi coffee machine and feel I would like to invest in a nicer new machine. But that cannot be made at night ? Can this be made at night if people are asleep ?
It's not silent. But I wouldn't day it's loud. Noisier than a kettle. Quieter than a blender.
I could be mistaken but; you can use different brand pods in the Pixie, different sizes,etc. BUT you can only use the Nespresso Veturo pods in the Verturo Plus, is that correct???
Yes, that's right.
@@richwhilecooper Thanks.
I've got a manual espresso maker but it's too many steps for me to deal with right now and I've not been able to get my coffee on for so long. I was already looking at this machine but this review has definitely sold me on it! Just undecided on the Aericcino but they have a deal on their website as a bundle with the Vertuo Plus.
How would you be able to use it with the tall glass coffee you made that almost overflowed? Or for that size capsule, would you just not use milk with it?
I usually use single or double espresssos or lungos with milk. But sometimes I just use a bigger mug.
Can you stop brewing coffee that amount you want to? Imam using 7.77 pods coffee.
I love the machine we just got, along with the milk froth or, but it doesn’t look like your machine exactly, which is strange because this video is only a few months old and we just got the machine for Christmas. Everything is the same except the top is rounded and black plastic. Everything else is exactly the same, though. Can’t believe how good the taste is, and it must be because the heating element gets so hot, so it releases the oil’s from the coffee. Also, I did not realize until today that the spins, which is part of the frothing process, etc.
I am glad that you are enjoying your new machine! Nespresso machines are made under license by a variety of manufacturers. Mine is made by Magimix, and it's possible yours is made by another manufacturer, hence the cosmetic differences. I have checked the temperatures of a number of pods and there is significant variation... I will be publishing my results soon! In the meantime, have fun trying all the different pods on offer!!
Rich While-Cooper, Really? I’m surprised that a manufacturer would have other manufactures manufacturing the same machine, but in different formats. How did you find that out? Quite interesting, as I have never heard of a company having the same model looking different in various countries.
I just watched this I already know more than my wife about the machine
Thanks for watching! You can mansplain it to her (then run away) lol.
does it work with other coffee brand because in mine it only works on there coffee which is really sad
I do not know, never tried.
Hi there, I watched your review and was just wondering how much did you pay for the whole set ? I waited until after Christmas to purchase it like you mentioned and they didn’t do the offer of the pods like you received. Please let me know. Thank you and great review.
I'm not exactly sure but I think we paid slightly over £200 for the whole lot. It was a very good price.
I'm a Dolce gusto fan for many years now but I'm thinking of getting me one how loud it is when in use?
It's not really noisy at all. The Vertuo Next IS quite noisy which you can hear in the other video I made that partially fearures this machine. It's by no means silent but the noise is not unpleasant.
Silent, I have it and love it.
Can you buy latte pods or chocolate pods for this machine?
I don't think this machine has chocolate pods. Lattes are made by topping up an espresso with hot frothed milk made with the Aeroccino frother. I'd say about 50% of all the coffees we make are lattes. Typically we useca single or double shot in a tall glass mug topped off with milk.
A nice interesting video, I have just got that machine. My I ask where the capsule holder is from?
Just searched Amazon for nespresso verto pod holders. All sorts came up for all budgets.
Thanks for watching. Making another soon about pod coffee temperatures... just waiting for my electronic thermoprobe to arrive.
Thanks for the video, a doubt, this delonghi vertuo plus env 155 has the 5 sizes of coffee? I don't know if it accepts the barcode of the double 80ml espresso. The 40ml espresso, the 80ml double espresso, the 150ml long and the 230ml long one throw you well? Is that on the web it only puts 3 sizes and I have doubts.
Mine makes single & double espresso, lungo, mug and alto, 5 sizes. I don't use alto anymore. Mostly double espresso or lungo, some mug and single espresso. I have a pixie too, originaline pods in that one.
@@richwhilecooper Thank you very much for the clarification, so I ask for the delonghi, if you make the espresso it will throw you 40ml (1'35oz) and if you make double espresso it will throw you 80ml (2.7oz) Right? Thanks for answering.
Yes. It reads a barcode on the under-edge of each pod to know the temperature and amount of water. Some pods brew hotter.
May sound like a daft question. I have a dolce gusto piccolo it is actually quite good but hoping for something better. I never had a nespresso machine before, I take it I can't use this machine to make cappuccinos because it is an espresso machine? Also does it take any capsules with the name nespresso on them or do they have to specifically say nespresso vertuo plus?
Ideally you couple it with milk frother so you can make different drinks with milk. The pods go from Ristretto to Lungo. I have just today bought some compatible pods from Waitrose to try. If I want a full size coffee I use my Vertuo plus which also makes espresso- doubles, lungo, mug and Alto sizes. I use an Aeroccino 3 frother. Some machines from Nespresso combine milk automatically. I have no experience with those though. Yet!
Has anyone had problems with a brand new nespresso machine turn on with a blinking red light? I’ve tried the cleaning process and descaling but nothing is working. It’s right out of the box too!
Not heard of that one. Sounds like a faulty machine.
Lovely video. Where did you get your coffee pod racks from? Thank you
Amazon! Just searched for Nespresso Vertuo cspsule rack!
