Nespresso Machine Tips And Tricks!

[@VioletFoxSyndicate]

After I got my nespresso Vertuo machine a month ago, I have been obsessively watching your videos! Thank you for giving me latte ideas, coffee set up ideas and these tips and tricks have been so eye opening. Thanks for your hard work, and I’m looking forward to the next vid 😁

[@_Alexmojica]

Awww thank you so much for your kind words I’m glad the videos help you!

[@nimshi8779]

Gurl same =) They have been so helpful.

[@wendyfortuna827]

Thank you for this video! I also leave my pods in the machine after each brew! Now I will be mindful of it!

[@jackpurnell1763]

Thank you for tips! Last week, my wife ordered Caffe Motta ese pod machine from Cerini Coffee, and it’s been amazing. Really appreciate your tips!👌

[@wiandakreder7356]

Can I just tell you how much I absolutely love your videos! Please never stop making these ❤ even your tiktok, I enjoy them so much!

[@_Alexmojica]

Thank you so much! I plan to always make these, motherhood has slowed them down a bit but I enjoy making them

[@leslieg764]

I always leave the used coffee pod in there😱 I just threw it away! Thank you ... this info was really helpful. 😊

[@_Alexmojica]

It’s a bad habit I’m trying to break myself 😅

[@siinfloridasi]

Great video…very helpful.

[@jenniferd5694]

Ok I just bought the deluxe plus and what you explained with the topping off saved me a lot of head spinning. I was soooo confused by the programming settings so that’s nice I can do my own custom cup every time to how I feel :)

[@ruthyan6]

My adhd put me down a rabbit hole of researching for a nespresso and I came across your video and settled on the white because it looks stunning! Your set up is great too. I’ve loved all your videos on this machine so far, and I’m so ready to finally move on from the keurig. Thanks for the insight 🤍

[@_Alexmojica]

Yay! Thank god for the rabbit hole!

[@nataliemyers3238]

I have done the same thing looking now

[@misslondonstani]

Omg!!! I was actually going crazy about my cable bc I freak out about cable management. So glad I watched this!!

[@aferro44]

My tip is that I run an espresso or lungo shot with no pod when I want hot water. As long as the machine is clean, this is an easy way to get the perfect ratio and temp of hot water for an americano. I have a creatista plus.

[@mariahynes9722]

Great tips...thanks for sharing...Loved your video

[@jonkellitrapp9871]

Thank you so much for this video. I’ll be watching more of your videos on the Nespresso Vertuo Plus.

[@yzmaronmione]

Ok. You influenced me with getting the vertuo plus in White!

[@kezzagold2507]

Great tip as I’m about to buy my second vertro coffee machine

[@zunildaobrien7542]

You great 👍 I got it 3 days a go I have not use it yet ,this is so different to any other coffee maker .. watching your videos.. I am leaning a lot with you !!!! Great job !!!!!👍👍 I did the cleaning., but not used it yet🥹

[@bebitamira3054]

I just bought one for my hubby birthday present. Crossing my fingers he likes it! I have been watching a lot of your videos! and although I would not most of the things you have ( foam maker, cups, different coffee machines, syrups, sauces etc) your content it’s very interesting. Thank you.

[@mrdablair]

Just bought a Nespresso Vertuo Plus for my GF for Yule. These tips are most helpful! So thank you 😊

[@cindimams4394]

I’m so glad I bought this machine today. I had to chuck my next, nothing but problems. I did like the design better but it’s the coffees that will brew without capsule recognition issues and I need my coffee in the morning.

[@Runitsadri514]

Running my cleaning cycle now! I’m so glad you mentioned it! I didn’t realize it should be cleaned this often and I’m definitely going to stick with it. I gotta get better at remembering to take those pods out!

[@_Alexmojica]

I still forget to take them out so you’re not alone but it helps when you do!

[@seansterling8715]

i guess Im asking the wrong place but does someone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot the login password. I would love any tips you can give me!

[@harlemjulian29]

@Sean Sterling Instablaster =)

[@seansterling8715]

@Harlem Julian thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@seansterling8715]

@Harlem Julian It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much you saved my ass !

[@natalieeanne]

Thanks! Good tips! I just got mine as a gift. I’m planning on babying it 😅

[@alliea2332]

Can you please do a video about programming the machine per pod and resetting to factory? That would be so helpful!

[@_Alexmojica]

I will put it in my video list!

[@radiojenmac]

Thanks for the video. I've had my Vertuo for about a month & love it, but always appreciate tips & tricks. I bought mine from Nespresso, and don't remember registering it, though I use the app all the time, so hopefully they know who I am! 🤷🏼‍♀️ Your explanations are really simple & you have a great presentation style. Not sure what you do "in real life," but you've certainly got a knack for speaking / presenting.

[@SandraSallin]

I'm a new vertuo plus person. I never drank coffee. Bought it for when my kids when they visit. BUT, i'm now hooked. Love my Vanilla latte. Actually I bought a bunch of flavors. Thanks or all your helpful advice. Took the Pod out and I'll clean it today. Granted I only make one cup a day.

[@skystar6853]

I actually knew nothing about this and I own an machine for a year lol thank you

[@maryboechler]

Love the video. Learned alot! 😊

[@lissetsanchez5316]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video! I just purchased the Nespresso Vertuo Plus! I can't wait to get it. I am a planner so I have been binge watching these type of videos to better understand the machine. ☕️☺️

[@christie2700]

I just got mine, thanks for the tip with stopping the machine once you get the certain amount of coffee you want.

[@_Alexmojica]

You’re welcome! Hope you’re enjoying your machine!

[@Colburnn]

@@_Alexmojica Yes, this is very helpful. I love the flavours on the mug size but it is way too much coffee for me.

[@mariastillustrator8370]

[@miabobia8439]

So helpful! And that cord coil trick.. game changer!

New subscriber ❤ Love all your coffee chat 💬 Buying the same nespresso machine. THANK YOU 🙏🏼

[@Constantlyevolvingagain]

This was great! I just got 1 and literally was freaking out as the coffee over flowed lol did not even think to hit the button

[@warrenmacinn5252]

Morning, I've purchased the ALTO large capsules for Vertuo plus machine.. The light on top turns Red and the machine won't brew the coffee 😢.. I've wasted a couple already.. any thoughts?. Do I have to reprogram the machine for the large size capsule

[@_Alexmojica]

Altos don’t work on the plus

[@angela-wj9qt]

Thanks so much for the tips! I have had my VertuoPlus for a few weeks now and had no idea about registering my machine. Soon as I finish watching your video I'm going to register it right away!

[@_Alexmojica]

Awesome! It comes in handy!

[@345Mayhem]

I took your advice and I called the Nespresso customer service because my NEXT machine was acting up when I was trying to clean it. I ended up getting the VertuoPlus in White ! Thanks so much for giving me the courage to call. I am super excited to get creamy dense creama instead of it looking burnt! Thanks again!

[@_Alexmojica]

Oh that makes me so happy!

[@nancyc3552]

So you had to pay the difference for the machines?

[@_Alexmojica]

No i didn’t pay anything

[@molivar5]

That’s so helpful! Do you have to pay to ship back the old one?

[@kimberleypowell7905]

Thank you for this video! I just got my first Nespresso machine last week so still learning the ins and outs. I’ve been leaving my capsules in the machine so I will definitely start emptying them out. ☕️ also, I ordered the Oggi cups and I am in love with them..I ordered another set today lol! They are great!! Keep the recommendations coming!

[@_Alexmojica]

Yay I’m glad they are helpful! 🥰

[@Jules-bee90]

Just receive my machine for Christmas, I was so nervous to open it but now after watching your videos . I open the box and the coffee samples are ready to use and I used 2/12 . I definitely enjoy the taste

[@_Alexmojica]

Awesome!

[@amandalorraine6107]

I never knew about cleaning it weekly!!! Im gonna start doing that now, I’ve had mine for a year in a half :(

[@_Alexmojica]

Never too late to start!

[@bobbiechun9244]

Thanks for explaining why disposing of the pods right away is important! I find Vertuo makes bitter coffee, and I wonder if that is the reason. I ran clean cycles and hopefully this will improve the taste of the coffee.

[@christaanngeier]

Is there a way to brew espresso with a regular coffee pod? I've heard you can by tapping the button twice (on my vertuo machine) but it didnt work. Is there a way?

[@_Alexmojica]

The vertuo machine doesn’t have that function unfortunately, but you can stop a brew early if you press the button when you’ve had enough

[@UnboxingswithMary]

I just purchased a verturo and I find your videos very informative. I am opening it today and trying a cup to see how it goes, I have always been a keurig girl.

[@_Alexmojica]

Awesome have fun with it! I have tons of Instagram reels with more recipes too! @_alexmojica

[@AshleyMarie1]

This is so helpful 😱 now that I have my Vertuo I barely use the original too! It was my first love but the bigger pods are so much easier. I haven’t descaled my Vertuo as yet so I would be very interested in that video!!!! I figured out how to stop the coffee by accident because my cup was too small and about to overflow everywhere 🤣

[@_Alexmojica]

Descaling video coming soon! And haha I’m glad you figured it out before the coffee spilled!

[@ramfan1385]

Thank you for your videos. I am new to the nespresso machine. Your videos are so helpful

I still can’t believe maison malli’s machine broke 🤦🏽‍♂️! I’ve been taking care of my new v-next as my first one broke after 1 week of usage. Thank you for the tips though !

[@BuddysDadd]

Also, any tips on getting vertuo capsules cheaper? 😂

[@_Alexmojica]

You’re welcome! I’m still trying to figure that out but it seems like the pods are never on sale lol

[@Hannahfarrior]

@@BuddysDadd go on Amazon and look for aluminum stickers to go on them. I saved all my capsules and all you have to do is refill them and get the stickers to back on top. You can do any flavors you want. I actually got the cafe bustle I espresso from target to use on them and it works perfect. I’ll try to find a link

[@BuddysDadd]

@@Hannahfarrior Thank you for the advice! Can you link the items? I’ve heard of that but I have never actually considered it due to never finding a solid product. I’d greatly appreciate it. Have an amazing day!

Hi, very informative. But, I’d like. To know why my machine is brewing very little & I have to push the button 5 or 6 times. Is there a control size?

[@slhemp3556]

I have the original line, but I plan to purchase a vertuo machine soon. And even though I don’t have a vertuo machine, I did learn that you can stop the coffee and start it again by pressing the button. How neat is that? Now I’m wondering if you can do this with the original machine (citiz). Please make a video showing tips and tricks for the original line. Thank you for sharing this wonderful and organized information.

@@_Alexmojica thank you!!

[@lexeddy1363]

I have noticed that when I brew my double espresso after it’s done it will almost do a like second brew… i can press the button and more espresso comes out. Is that what makes it a double?

[@IcedCoffeeLover33]

Did you know that the nespresso vertuo plus can do a cup size programming

[@sarahjoyce769]

Really good videos!! Is there a video on how to program so there’s more water per cup (diluted). My husband is looking for a weaker cup of joe! If so can you link? I couldn’t find….thanks!

[@_Alexmojica]

If you program it, then that means you will also be drinking diluted coffee because it will do it for all the same size pods you program it to. I would instead long press the button shortly after it’s done to add more water to the brew. Hope that makes sense

[@lovindatJoan]

Wow I definitely learned and would love to see a video on programming it to 5 oz instead.

[@_Alexmojica]

I’ll put it on my video list! 🤗

[@Aracnomother]

Their website doesn’t have my machine to register and I am soooo confused. But now I’m at a time where they aren’t available to contact so I’m like 😒. Does the drip tray height have anything to do with the amount of water?

[@_Alexmojica]

The drip tray is depending on the height of your cup

[@cccereal]

Is there an option to run an empty shot of water between shots to clean the needles in VL ? Eg OL we can press the espresso/lungo button for extra water or clean in between shots. I just got a Vertuo plus but I can’t find any info for this option.

[@_Alexmojica]

You can Tun a clean cycle. With machine off press the top button three times until it lights up orange. The machine will run a clean cycle a few secs later. It will run for five minutes but you can also just stop it when ever you want by pressing top buttton once

Hello, I would like to know how to set my machine to make difference size coffee. Thank you! I have the same machine as you.

[@_Alexmojica]

You can’t set it, it will brew the designated amounts depending on what pod you put in it. You can change the factory setting but then it will do that brew for all the same size pods you do it for. I personally don’t recommend that. If you want to do it though I would follow manual instructions because I’m not sure how

[@deborahdrago744]

How do you just rinse with water between descaling?

I'm thinking of buying a vertuo line machine. I wanted to buy the next but after seeing your other video I'm not really sure if it's a good choice..

[@thomasshelby1262]

What if you start the machine after stopping it for the top off but you don't stop it manually? Will it drain out the whole water tank? Or will it be reprogrammed to fill another 80ml of water (assuming you're using a double expresso pod in there)

[@_Alexmojica]

Reprogramming is a whole different setting/sequence of button pressing so I know for a fact it won’t be reprogrammed. Just guessing here, since the machine knows what pod it has, it might just stop when it has to depending on the pod you insert. I doubt I’ll ever forget to stop it and I really don’t want to test it just for that so hopefully that helps in knowing that at least it won’t be reprogrammed

[@thomasshelby1262]

@@_Alexmojica I actually tested it out of curiosity lol, yes it recognizes the pod via the barcode scanning system, even though it's empty. So, if it's an 80ml pod, it will dispense 80ml of plain hot water and stops itself.
