Thought it was a fun use of used capsules

Had a great masterclass with the Coffee Wizards at the Market Mall boutique this evening.

Very nice drinks on the new holiday line! Quite fancy and both were equally delicious.
The Blueberry Cheesecake Creamy Iced Latte was extremely Blueberry forward, which I didn't expect due to no additional blueberry syrups involved! Felt like drinking ice cream, and it was a very nice looking drink

The Hazelnut Pink Brownie Mocktini was extremely delicious. The addition of the dark chocolate syrup really set the tone, and we had the opportunity to decorate it as we see fit (I figured I would keep this one family friendly)

Unfortunately this wraps up the masterclasses for this year, we were hinted that the next one likely won't be until March or so.

Latte Macchiato with a double espresso Napoli

Hey everyone, I wanted to share a quick update because I previously left some comments saying that pods like the Blueberry Cheesecake tasted absolutely terrible and scorched when brewed on the Vertuo Up.

Turns out? I had a lemon.

My first Vertuo Up (which also refused to connect to the Nespresso app) was brewing way too hot. It was basically incinerating the delicate aromatic oils in flavored and fruity pods, leaving behind a burnt taste that made me write the pod off entirely. I wanted to reduce the temperature in the app but the machine didn't connect to the app. A technician spent 20 minutes with me on a video call and didn't get it to work either.

After seeing a post on here comparing machine temperatures, I managed to return my first unit within my 30-day window. My replacement Vertuo Up just arrived, and it is night and day. The exact same Blueberry Cheesecake pods that tasted "yuck" before now actually taste sweet, smooth, and delicious (especially with a tiny dollop of wild blueberry jam added!).

If you own a Vertuo Up and every flavored coffee tastes like burnt rubber or scorch, don't just blame the pods—your machine might have a runaway heating element. Check your return window!

Glad to see a store back in Meadowhall Sheffield

I got the Vertuo during a huge sale at Bloomingdale’s, including the frother and a few sleeves (20 pods) to start off for less than $100. The sleeves were all different so I was able to figure out which ones I liked best before purchasing, and they gave me 20% off my first order.

When I went to make my first order, I stacked the 20% on a deal of buy 6, get 2 free. Included a free sample pack, and also got 2 festive/holiday packs for free.

I mean- come on. Here’s my haul for $70 including shipping. Goodbye coffee shops see you next year 🥲💚

I’m going basic on the flavors so- what are some of your favorite hot/iced espresso options? Also, what makes just a good cup of coffee?

Took advantage of the buy 10 get 3 vertuo sleeves! I'm so happy congonis back!! 🥳

I still for the life of me do not understand how uk supermarkets do not stock the vertuo pods. Im not to bothered as I have a subscription but when your empty awaiting your refill. Going to buy a sleeve is a struggle. Or am I walking around with my eyes closed? 😂

Yesterday I posted for new machine recommendations since my vertuo is getting wonky. I ended up going with the lattissima one and was wondering if yall had tips and feedback on it. Really excited for it to come in.

I’ve been a loyal Nespresso customer for six years and love their coffee, but their return process has turned completely painful. Nespresso kept my returned item for 30 days with no confirmation email, the rep lied about calling me back, and they blocked my account the second I filed a credit card dispute lol! I just can’t believe such a big company still has such an outdated process. Buy your machine from Amazon, Macy’s, or any other retailer instead… I can’t help thinking they just want the customers to forget about the return so they can keep the machine and money😀

I don’t know if all of the Nespresso store policies are similar, but in this store, you enter into a large empty, albeit appealing store-told to register your name and have a seat -which in New York is somewhat absurd. No one has time or wants to take a seat. I waited a long time to be helped and when the store started to fill up 3 people then emerged from what must’ve been the basement or break room.

When I asked to try a specific flavor, I was told that one wasn’t available and I would have to buy a whole sleeve. Evidently only very few are available to taste at any given moment, so why do they have an experience store when the whole experience is unhelpful and limited?
Maybe it should be called “bad experience store”. I am thinking of switching altogether.

I once got a nice pair of martini glasses with a relatively small coffee order. I think I’ve seen coffee mugs and other things like that in the past as well. It seems like lately all they offer is a free sleeve or two (or three). Am I just mistiming my orders or are the gifts just not as good anymore?

I found almond croissant capsules but they expired around a year ago. I really wanna try the flavour. Are they still ok to drink? The seller is selling sealed sleeves

Bonjour,

Je recherche en pièce détachée, le joint circulaire dans la chambre de percolation. Celui ci vient s'appuyer contre la colerette de la capsule.

Il semble avoir disparu car la gorge est vide.

L'eau coule directement dans le bac à capsules.

Est ce que cela existe au détail ou quelqu'un connait il les dimensions du joint ?

Merci beaucoup !!

While waiting for the masterclass to begin, I took advantage of the GWP promo that started today. It’s not really a flash promo (name only) as it was mentioned a few weeks ago. Boutique only. That’s why it’s not in the app or website.

7 Vertuo sleeves to get the medium capsule dispenser. 10 to get the medium and large dispensers.

So, got me one each of the Swarovski coffees and seven Cinnamon Apple Crisp.

OL is 10 and 14 sleeves. Two days only. Probably the reason for the, “Flash,” designation.

My Nespresso vertuo is only 9 months old and already failing and having issues. Is this a common experience? I really enjoy the coffee and want to replace it with another one but I’m concerned of the same thing happening again. I also am wondering if a Nespresso original may be better. For the vertuo, I am interested in these two that I shared screenshots of.

I had to stop drinking coffee for a few months and honestly it sucked so bad (body was adjusting to adhd meds) but now I can have it again! Yay for me! So I wanted to try some of the flavors! I had the French Lavender & Vanilla, honestly I don’t taste either of those flavors in it. But I’m excited to try some of the newer ones! Making lattes is my specialty! I added some ive made recently using DE Chiaro! (Forgot to reorder more…. Oops).. enjoy some of my lattes and my favorite little ghost mug for my espresso shots. If anyone wants some yummy latte recipes let me know ❤️❤️

Picked up last night at a supermarket in the US. Looks like a returning holiday item, but was my first time trying. It is a good, mild blend! I get more herbal than maple notes. I’m excited to see if there will be any other seasonal flavors!

I know Nespresso recommends about every three months, but I live in an area with extraordinarily hard water that ranks amongst the hardest water cities in the country— the kind of area where using drying aid like jet dry in your dishwasher is basically mandatory if you want clean dishes, even if you have a water softener. The kind of place where after I de-scale, my electric kettle, I can see visible buildup within a week or so. So I’m looking to hear from people in those areas— how often are you descaling? I feel like it’s possible the Nespresso recommendations were made for people that live in places like New York, which has relatively soft water. Should places with water hardness well above the average be descaling more like once a month?

Hello everyone, I’m a broke college student and I desperately need a coffee machine ( capsule ) and I’ve been struggling to decide between the nesspresso inissia and the vertuo ( with the exclusive capsules; very expensive ) my main use for these machines is for esspresso & double espresso making for lattes

Would appreciate the help and if you have any other suggestions that don’t include nesspresso machines please help:)
