Not what I'd hoped for from Nespresso
To say I'm disappointed with my Breville Vertuo Plus is an understatement. The machine routinely leaked water into the cup prior to dispensing the shot. While irritating, I got used to this and just made sure the cup was placed a second or two before the flow started.
After an average of around 1 or 2 cups a day over three months, the machine stopped working. The fault guide directed me to contact service who subsequently advised me to return the machine to a third party repair service.
Nearly a month later I now have a replacement machine. ...
Purchased in October 2020 at Big W Retail Stores for $189.00.
Broke after 1 year and still broken after being repaired.
I just got my vertuo plus machine sent back from your repair centre last week and it broke again! Contacted your customer service and they said it’s only eligible for a 2nd repair not replacement. It’s ridiculous to think that I have to keep sending my machine back and I just bought a whole year worth of capsules without a machine to use!
The support agent on the phone was rude and kept interrupting me mid sentence. After reading other people’s experiences, this machine obviously has manufacturing faults.
Purchased in December 2019.

Inconvenient and hidden costs
My parents bought this machine for me for Christmas through JB HiFi as recommended by the sales staff over Nespresso Original variants. I opened it on Christmas day and used the sample capsules within the box and it made nice coffee and functioned properly. My parents were not informed that it needed special virtuo capsules as opposed to Nespresso original ones as they also bought me a small amount of the Nespresso original kind which were not of any use. I subsequently went home and tried to buy virtuo capsules during my next grocery buy but t...
Read morehey are not available through supermarkets and can only be ordered through Nespresso or Nespresso Boutiques. I drove to the nearest Nespresso Boutique (approx 20km) in order to buy some and found out when I got there that it would cost between 8 and 12 dollars for a packet of five depending on the capsule size and so would be paying about 10-11$ for 5 mug capsules. As I was not impressed with either the price or how inconvenient it was to buy the capsules for this machine I inquired at JB HiFi as to the possibly of returning it but they said this was not possible as it was not faulty and I had used it (I had used the sample capsules that came with it). I would think that the 3 main selling points of this system are price, quality and convenience. I think this system performs poorly on running costs and convenience neither of which were highlighted by the sales staff to my parents when they bought it. This demonstrates poor sales practice by sales outlets and dubious value for money by the manufacturer.Purchased in December 2020 at JB Hi-Fi Retail Stores for $299.00.

Clunky descale procedure. machine fails after descale and according to repairer attracts german cockroaches
I purchased a Nespresso Vertuo Plus Machine and also ordered capsules from a popup Nespresso shop at Westfields Kotara NSW shopping centre. The shop is no longer there.
After I performed their recommended descale procedure the machine stopped working and had a red light.
Customer service said to package the machine up and send it in.
They called and said it could not be fixed due to cockroach damage.
I had no cockroaches. They promised they would send photos.
Nothing for 2 weeks , I made two more calls. No result.

Don't buy, unreliable
1 month after purchasing the unit it failed with red lights flashing but no coffee. Collected by TNT returned to repair center, 2 weeks later a new machine was delivered as a replacement. Advice: don't throw the packaging as it will be required for return repair. Capsules are not available at supermarkets. You have to go to a Nespresso shop or on line then to the post office as Australia Post don't deliver to the house.
The Aerocc no3 is a hygiene risk it cant be put in dishwasher and opening too small for a normal sized male hand.
Stay away from the product and reduce your stress

Fantastic machine
I did my research as to which machine i wanted and which store has this. I went to the Good Guys and Harvey Norman and one Harvey Norman store was the only one who had the Delonghi Nespresso Vertuoplus red model. The machine itself looks fantastic,is quiet,easy to use and make a great coffee. However having said this, the sales staff at both Harvey and the Good Guys need to familiarize them selves with the Nespresso website and do their research because they told me that i can only buy the coffee throught the Nespresso Website because they want...
Read more you to have fresh coffee and not coffee that's been sitting on the supermarket shelves for ages. This may be so but there are 3 stores in Perth were you can buy the machines and accessories and most importantly coffee capsules for the Original and Vertuo machines. Nespresso boutique Karrinyup,Perth and Booragoon. You can find this on the Nespresso website main page under the tab "Find us" and then click Boutique and enter your postcode. The coffee range on both the website and in the stores are fantastic. I bought Vertuo capsules at Karrinyup Nespresso.The sales staff are fantastic,friendly and know there products. So many to choose from. The best decision i have ever made to buy this machine :)Purchased in August 2020 at Harvey Norman for $179.00.

Loving the machine
Really sleek easy to use and clean. Machine doesn't take much space and easy to clean and maintain. The coffee is also very frothy and tasty.
Like the way I don't need to dismantle the whole machine to fill water and adding capsule in a touch of a button

Works really well!
Upgraded from a previous nespresso machine. This one works really well and makes strong flavoured coffee. Capsules are much larger than previous machine and takes up more bench space as there is now an external water tank. Water tank can be positioned on the bench at different angles depending on the space you have. Overall, pretty happy!

Wish I'd kept my old machine
The main issue with this machine is after 5 months of very gentle use, it is leaking everywhere. If you search Nespresso social media pages you will find numerous complaints about these leaking machines after only a few months. Nespresso's after sales service has been abysmal with repairs of new machines taking up to 6 weeks. The coffee quality is okay. But I preferred my old Nespresso machine. The Vertuo experience has turned into a major hassle as now I have no machine and no return date from Nespresso. Buy one with caution, do a search on its issues before purchase, leakage is a very common issue.

Cheap and easy- Breville Nespresso
The easiest coffee machine that makes coffee like the coffee shops. It is very easy to maintain and clean. Plus, Nespresso have a program where they recycle the used pods! There are a huge number of pod options that allow you to truly personalise your coffee experience

Love this machine. Great coffee
I bought this for my husband for Christmas. He was sceptical as he loves the coffee from our local cafe. Anyway, we are both hooked. We are saving heaps of money and the coffee is delicious. We are loving the Nespresso Double Expresso pods. Kids love making the coffee for us, which is an added bonus. Make sure you purchase or get the milk frother. It froths almond milk a treat!

Good coffee fast
Switched from a smaller machine to this as we love mugs of coffee. The range is great and you get decent size mugs out of most capsules - love the 'auto-scan' option. The only noticed bug is that sometimes the capsule gets stuck in the holder if you don't remove it straight after use. Good machine!

Love this machine.
I used to have the Umilk Nespresso machine but wanted mug sized coffees. You can just add milk in the mug before expressing coffee and the coffee still has a nice cream frothy layer. I did buy a separate frother though and use it as well.

Love it!
I normally drink long black coffee and this machine makes it very creamy with quality of coffee from the Nespresso capsules. I bought this coffee machine for my work where we are 10 people drinking coffee every morning, we love the fact that it is so easy to make many cups of coffee continuously without making any mess, very easy to clean. It comes with the milk frother by Nespresso which warms the milk and makes it creamy for a nice latte or cappuccino as well.

Machine is ok, coffee is average
I received this as a gift when I purchased lighting from interiors online. Nespresso says that the machine reads the code and is able to make a perfect cup of coffee. I have tried all the samples that came with the machine. The coffee is bitter and tastes very average. Does make a good iced coffee. Disappointed that I had to change from an inissia to this in the hope of getting a perfect cup of coffee every morning.

Love this machine!
This makes an great coffee! I was a fan of milk coffees before this machine so was a little reserved about getting this. But went with it after being recommended by a friend. It’s amazing! I love the quality of coffee through the pods, it leaves a nice cream. Added to the fact that Nespresso customer service is AMAZING! Order coffee is so easy. You can save favourites. And it comes QUICK. Like the next day if you order early enough.
I got the Nespresso glass coffee cups with a special, and I’m glad I did. It keeps coffee nice a hot.

Makes also very large cups of good coffee.
Bought the machine because we wanted a large cup of strong coffee first thing in the morning.
Largest size 415 ml = Alto pods. Good for using in thermos to commute with or savour at home.
Had to find larger cups, because with milk contents increases to 500ml or more. Crema is about 1-2 cm on top, without milk.
550 ml cup works best for Alto.
Good strong coffee, good machine. Water tank is good size and easily accessible and filled.
Fast cup of good strong coffee. Very happy!

Great compact and smart coffee machine
Great machine that is small, easy to clean and clever (froths the milk as the coffee enters the cup). Uses Nespresso pods that are fully recyclable. The machine knows how much water to add to the cup by reading the barcode on the pod. Machine was afforded for the quality too.
Questions & Answers
Smith Dasked
Why cant i reset to factory settings? I have a steady red light, turn it off and follow procedure but it always reverts to the steady red light. Of course its out of warranty.
2 answers
The red light means it's circuits could be fried. They told me to send it in anyway even out if warranty. They said cockroaches caused the problem. I bought a simpler less expensive one from ALDI works fine and coffee better and less expensive. The Nespresso machine is too cumbersome and convoluted in this age.
Thanks so much, I agree about the cumbersome bit

Just descaled machine using nespresso descaling and followed u-tube instruction. The half red and half green light comes back on?
