GIRL! Tried this hack with the pumpkin spice pods & my new pop machine. Perfection. Wasn’t it as a coffee pod, which is why they were hanging around for so long. Ordered the coconut pods as well just to brew as a double shot. THANK YOU 🎉🎉🎉

[@Meaghan_grace]

I’ve been so intrigued by this machine ☕️ thanks for sharing! Also so happy for you that Nespresso sent you a machine to review 😱 so amazing!

[@jordanlemaster7442]

This makes me so happy!! So much more variety for double espresso now!!!

[@_Alexmojica]

Yes!

[@pateverhart7441]

Thank you for this. My choices with the Vertuoplus are very limited because I have to drink decaf most of the time. I tried your hack today with the Melazio decaf and its a game changer for me. Loved it. Thank you again.

[@nedrabell6339]

I’ve been needing a way to still use the coffee pods I don’t like. This is genius!

Thank you for sharing and explaining! Super helpful! Loving your hair too!

Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much for sharing,far more taste than a large cup .

[@yeseniarosa912]

Going to try this with my Vertuo Next! I also purchased all of the syrups from your recent Syrup Video and OMG I love them all. I was even able to get a hold of the 1883 Dulce de Leche, The Monin French Vanilla...I'm obsessed! Love your videos! 💋

[@yurim6833]

Gracias amiga ❤ ty for the tips and tricks 🎉. Glad you are back to posting.

[@_Alexmojica]

You are so welcome!

[@Msyinett]

This is good to know. I feel that nespresso could do a better job at marketing to clear up confusion from buyers.

[@_Alexmojica]

Oh yeah I agree

[@Ewoklynn]

Yes! I’m the same with the way with how the machine opens and closes! I just saw the pop machine on the website and though it’s soooo cute, I like the auto open/close. Thanks for this vid and tips!

[@_Alexmojica]

You’re welcome!

[@emv8583]

Thanks girl! This helped me alot. My coffee taste so much better now!

Thanks! I’ve been enjoying espresso more lately now I could use the coffee pods as espresso for my Vertuo Plus 😊

[@_Alexmojica]

Perfect!

i like your nespresso vertuo pop looks so cute

[@Mikenmissy]

thank you for all your insights..I had 3 Vertuo Next each one had major issues...I am getting the vertuo plus hopefully that will be better..yes I hate the open and close feature to me I needed 2 hands sometimes to close and lock it.. hope the plus is better....

[@SineadGrant]

I just used your trick on the vertuoline machine with the melozio pod. and it works. I always wanted to know what melozio would taste like as an americano and now I do. THANK YOU Alex. also just want to add, you are glowing btw 🙂

I did today sith hal decaff which is big cup, was suprised of the small amount come out😁 i thiught it will double the intense of taste not less water but make semsw :)

[@IcedCoffeeLover33]

that looks amazing when using the espresso shot could you brew the whole coffee with it?

[@jenimar13]

This is awesome! I'll try it with my Vertuo Plus. I'm liking double espressos more these days than the big cup of coffee and I didn't know what to do with those pods. 😊 Maybe I'll like Caramel Cookie as an espresso! ❤ Thank you.

[@_Alexmojica]

Let me know what you think!

[@jenimar13]

@Alex Mojica hi! Just made an iced salted caramel latte with Caramel Cookie as a double espresso. It worked perfectly, but I'm just not a fan of this pod 😔. I'll have to try it with Melozio, Odacio.

[@judysnell]

Great TFS 😊

Please try the limited Nespresso Starbucks Reserve remix blend pod for vertuo. It's sooo good and would love to hear your thoughts on it

[@sahilbrar9416]

Do u have a recipe for iced vanilla latte?

[@rebekahsadie]

Did you say that you can do it with the Vertuo plus?

[@spanishbarbiexo]

Those glass straws are so cute! 😍 Can you link where you got the glass straw with butterfly design?

[@_Alexmojica]

hi i have them linked on my amazon storefront. They are not butterflies though its a glass floral design

[@randicovington3496]

Great info thank you! I’m so curious, have you/could you put the water tank on the larger coffee maker to the Pop machine? Filling up the pop tank drives me nuts, so curious if it still works/fits with the bigger machines water tank.

[@_Alexmojica]

I’m sorry I gifted the machine away and can’t check that anymore

[@kristyduffy520]

I tried this, but my machine didn't do anything after I hot the button twice, it made a sound then nothing. It did the overnight update. :(

[@George-hj4xg]

well, I mean on the plus its always been press the button to stop or add more and go longer after it stops press again.

[@_Alexmojica]

True, I’m sharing to those who don’t know, and it’s nice that this machine does it for you unlike the plus

[@decentsalsa]

I bought my Nespresso vertuo pop plus a few days ago and have tried brewing different pod flavors/sizes and everything I’ve brewed tastes so BURNT and nasty. Idk what to do. It legit tastes like cigarette ashes. I’ve done everything even when mixing with my milks and things they’re just so bad. I literally want to cry bc of how much this machine/coffee is hyped up. Any suggestions on what I should do?

[@MichaelaCizkovaCZ]

I will appreciate when nesspreso start to srote on box the coffe contenst as its vary very much :) i mean 45 mg coffe up to 200 mg is a lot

[@hodges194]

I will play with my next machine after it’s cleaning process to do an update. Thank you

[@_Alexmojica]

Good luck!

[@hodges194]

@@_Alexmojica update: it did work😊😊 thank you❤️

[@serviettedetable]

Oh so thats the way to have a decafeinated double !

[@dwtbb00]

I have the vertuo next machine. And I’ve tried doing this hack, but it seems like the coffee comes out watery. It doesn’t come out as rich and dark as yours. Mine comes out on a light brown color, As if the first brew came out, and the second brew was more water than coffee if that makes sense. Also, my machine doesn’t update as it should. The last time I had to update the machine, I literally had it plugged in for close to a week, and it finally upgraded. But at the same time I am one of those people that never leaves things plugged in so that’s my bad.

[@mjp207]

Hi can you reuse the pod if you use it as espresso ? can I get more than one double espresso out of pod

[@_Alexmojica]

No I wouldn’t recommend as the second time would brew too watery

[@juan193]

what is the difference vs vertuo pop with no (+) or the vertuo pop deluxe?

[@_Alexmojica]

The size of the machine I think, not sure

[@jessica4561]

love your videos!! i had a question though - does a yeti/travel coffee mug fit under the vertuo pop? i have the vertuo plus and i’m thinking about switching over to the smaller size bc i have limited counter space now.. but i’m concerned about the height for filling my yeti in the morning. please let me know! thank you❤️

[@_Alexmojica]

Unfortunately I don’t have the machine anymore and I don’t remember but if you look through the comments I think I answered this from someone else’s question

[@lisaXlunatic91]

Do you get the coconut notes in the caramel pod? The old one had notes of coconut which made it so yummy! I was told by someone else that this one doesn't. :(

[@_Alexmojica]

I never really tasted coconut in the old ones

[@jailsonmsjunior]

Great video as always! I am Jai, from cafedojai! 😊

[@_Alexmojica]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@cxxxk3084]

how's the crema with the pop? when i changed from next to plus i noticed that the plus produces way better crema than the next

[@_Alexmojica]

I’m not a fan of crema on vertuo to begin with so I always either ignore it or remove it but I feel like it’s the same

[@jonkellitrapp9871]

Alex, if I want my Melozio weaker would I press the button twice? Just got my Nespresso Vertuo Plus today. Thank u so much for ur videos! 💖💕

[@_Alexmojica]

You can’t change the weakness

[@beehumble768]

Thanks for tips! Does it work on vertuo original model ?

[@_Alexmojica]

I don’t own that model but it doesn’t hurt to try what I did to my plus and see if it works the same

[@gfgg16]

This is awesome!!! Also why do we have the same last name?🤔 lol

[@sahilbrar9416]

I own the vertuo deluxe flat head, is it the same quality brew as the vertuo plus or is the plus better, would you know?

[@_Alexmojica]

I don’t own that one so in wouldn’t be able to compare

[@pricillaalvarenga8473]

Which model do you recommend? I was thinking about getting the pop+

[@_Alexmojica]

If you like large amounts of coffee then go with the pop. It can brew nespresso alto pods and the vertuo plus doesn’t. If you don’t care to try those then I’d go with the plus

[@meesie00]

Do you prefer the Nespresso Plus or Next? I’m looking at the Plus Target has in white or the Next in white. So people say the next is more bitter and not as hot. Just wondering if you experienced this as well. Thank you!!

[@_Alexmojica]

The plus! The next had so many issues

[@joannbryant3685]

Where do u get your coffee spoons

[@_Alexmojica]

Some are from Anthropologie and the gold ones from Amazon

[@JessRavary]

Can the water tank on the Vertuo Pop+ move or can it only be in that 1 position? Thanks!

[@_Alexmojica]

It doesn’t move ☹️

[@elizabethsawai8737]

Hello how are you ? I would like recommendations I’m looking to purchase an Nespresso coffee machine. This is my first time buying from this company and I’m very nervous I don’t know which one is best for me. I love cold coffee my goal is to make my favorite drinks I usually buy from Starbucks and save money. Which machine you recommend to buy for first time buyers? So many reviews online and I’m skeptical to make a wrong purchase. I love your channel and it makes me more excited to own an Nespresso.

[@_Alexmojica]

Hi please watch my video titled which machine should I buy. Essentially you need to decide wether you want an original line machine or a vertuo machine. Once you decide on that, it gets easier with choosing models from either line. I prefer vertuo plus machine from vertuo line and citiz from original line is great to start. But watch that video first

[@ilovetraveltheworld5631]

Hey Alex, I Just bought Vertuo pop, same as yours, is it can work using reuse pod? Which is the Best reuseable pod?

[@_Alexmojica]

Im not a fan of the reusable pods so I wouldn’t know what to suggest I’m sorry

[@DJ-tz4wl]

So, are you saying there is no special trick, besides stopping it early, when brewing a double on the Vertuo Plus using a coffee pod??

[@_Alexmojica]

That’s all I got

[@diannarockymore8130]

Where did u get the straws?

[@_Alexmojica]

They are linked on my Amazon storefront

[@Faithlovewax]

I’m looking into getting the pop. What are your thoughts on it?

[@_Alexmojica]

Watch the video I think you’ll get an idea of it’s functionality by watching 😉

[@patriciapattty]

Does it work with a ristretto pod? I like it, but 25ml is like a punch in my face LOL if we could brew 80ml it would be perfect!

[@_Alexmojica]

Then it would be too watery the amount of grounds is not enough to do that

[@RM-zu3em]

Would they then have less caffeine do you think?

[@_Alexmojica]

Yes

[@mr.martin2857]

What happens if you put a carafe pod in the pop+ will it still brew it? I mean I can just bring it to the edge of my counter and hold the carafe while it pours. If you tell me the machine won't read it at all then I guess I would go with a Next that I would update...

[@_Alexmojica]

Unfortunately I got rid of vertuo al together so I can’t answer that

[@mr.martin2857]

@@_Alexmojica oh! Thanks for getting back to me nonetheless. What do you have now?

[@susandoran9107]

Does brewing it as a double expresso with the Vertuo Plus taste the same as brewing a double expresso with the Pop machine?

To me it does, difference in roast but the body was the same

[@susandoran9107]

@@_Alexmojica TY!

[@prosperoborrrggine5177]

How do i program my next only to make all doubles? Anyone?

[@_Alexmojica]

You have to go to your manual and look for reprogramming. You’ll need to reprogram each pod to double.

[@JAWA961]

my nespresso vertuo will not do this? wish it would work

[@_Alexmojica]

I mentioned in the video what I do for vertuo plus. But it will not pair to the phone like the other machines so everything will be manual for vertuo plus

[@JAWA961]

i will watch again and pay more attention. Thanks! might of needed a coffee before watching yesterday

[@Satine_Moisant]

DANG!! I was looking for a Vertuo Pop on Amazon, couldn't find it. I read all the bad reviews on the Next...the Plus seemed to be a lot better. I couldn't find the Pop, so I ordered a Creatista Plus. :( Gaaah!! I have a LOT of neurological (ALS) hand issues. so maybe not for me sadly. Nespresso is releasing the Vertuo Creatista on April 17th. It's a Vertuo Next with a Creatista steam wand in all stainless steel for $749. Pass on that. too expensive to have potential 'Next' problems in s single combo unit.

[@_Alexmojica]

As long as you’re aware that creatista plus doesn’t take any of the capsules I showed in the video

[@Satine_Moisant]

@@_Alexmojica Yes, I had one years ago - sold it off and immediately regretted it. I missed it a lot. Lol

[@_Alexmojica]

After pairing it with your phone ?

[@KKL00-86]

@@_Alexmojica Yeah I went on the app and paired and updated everything and it still only will brew with the 1 press. If I press 2 times fast, it will make the “whirring” sound of the pod spinning and will act like it’s going to brew and then will stop 😭

[@jennifercarmona8545]

I paired it with my phone and all I get is the turquoise light that blinks a couple times. It makes me think it’ll brew the double shot then the little coffee mug turns red then back to white. And no coffee is brewed at all 🥴 I’ll keep trying. Maybe mine is the 24hour thing to update. We’ll see

[@_Alexmojica]

someone said it will do the update overnight so maybe it hasn't fully updated yet after pairing. I would call nespresso for more support

My only confusion is why not buy the cheaper double expresso pods in the first place, rather than waste a full cup pod 😂😂

[@Em22214]

@@LesSwanton it might just be a convenience thing, like whatever you’ve got on hand at that point. Idk like for me I use double espresso only but have a bunch of coffee size samples I don’t normally use but now I could.

[@_Alexmojica]

(*espresso) vertuo line doesn’t have much espresso variety. Some will buy coffee pods and not like them at all. Then try this way to shorten the brew for a double espresso and find they taste better. It’s not a “waste” at that point if you find yourself have a better cup of coffee at that point.

[@sipntools]

🩵

[@wendellcone8080]

After some setup issues, It works on my Vertuo Next, even displaying the turquoise flashing light while brewing. I had to remove/reinstall the Nespresso app and reset the machine to get it to pair and add wifi. Then double tapping on the start button did the trick. Thanks I did not have to wait for overnight update, it worked immediately.

[@h.cft.]

Hello, somehow it does not work at my vertuo next😭. The app is somehow also strange. I do not know what I'm doing wrong

[@joolsca]

Can you fit a Vertuo alto (glass) mug under the pop+ if you remove the cupholder? I'm assuming it won't fit unless you do but not being able to fit a big (tall) mug under there is a dealbreaker for me... thanks

[@_Alexmojica]

I don’t own that glass to try, how long in inches is it?

It works! OMG I just tried it with my Vertuo Next!! 🫶
