Just bought the pop yesterday and drinking my first cup now. Such an upgrade from my Keurig mini. Btw, you can make a double espresso from the larger size pods by double clicking the brew button! This is true for all Vertuo machines.

[@ChiChick312]

What would the larger size pods be, coffee?

[@KatjaNordkvist]

That’s so good to hear! And great tip, thank you so much 🙏🏼

[@ralphlee3765]

Thank you for your honest review! I'm also an iced latte person so your review was perfect for my case.

[@KatjaNordkvist]

Great! Yes, iced lattes are seriously the best 🧋🧋🧋

[@hatwoodjunior]

love the transparency in this video

[@KatjaNordkvist]

Thank you so much!

[@pinkironelsa]

great review just got mine yesterday and love it already

[@KatjaNordkvist]

Great to hear! Thank you 🙏🏼

[@ecolabeach]

enjoyed watching your video - once you started the review you were very informative without wasting time - loved that! I really appreciate the insight into pros and cons such as needing to online order (although my local Target store carries my Starbucks Blonde Roast in store, no other brand though) and I appreciated the foam comparison because, like you, that amplifies the experience for me! Thank you for the time you put into this for us! ❤

[@dannieden4596]

Nice review. I got the Vertuo Evoluo for a bday present in 2021. I was thinking about getting the Pop+ because I wanted to buy the larger capsules that can't be brewed in mine. However, I'm pretty happy with mine especially since I didn't have to pay for it.

[@KatjaNordkvist]

That’s nice! The Pop+ would probably be a good choice if you ever decide to get another machine 😄

[@cmcclure933]

Great review. I’ve ordered one for Christmas. Can’t wait to get my 30 free pods to see what I like

[@KatjaNordkvist]

So glad to hear that! I hope you like it 😄

[@MichelleFlores-kc5zx]

Very helpful review, thank you

[@Tiffany0kk]

Great review, thank you!

[@KatjaNordkvist]

Glad you liked it!

[@ItsJessieKate]

Same. I drink for the taste! Great review. Thanks!

[@KatjaNordkvist]

Yes, right? 😄 thank you so much!

[@jefferrrson1x]

your eyes are gorgeous! thanks for the review. about to buy this one tonight!

[@OntarioAndrews415]

Nice review, thanks. I have owned a few Keurig machines ...my current one is the personal one cup at a time machine, which is perfect for me. I now keep it at the office. I am thinking about getting another machine to keep at home and maybe, just maybe will go for something different (Nespresso) hence my watching your video. I've now learned a few things so thanks for that. Time will tell if/when I buy something. Cheers!

[@bluvs_tae]

I just got this today 😊

[@KatjaNordkvist]

Great! I love mine 😍

[@markjohn8472]

I love the foam, too! James Hoffman, web super-coffee guy, did a hilarious review of Nespresso’s Vertuo line. He was suspicious about the foam, so he ran the coffee through a blender and got LOTS of foam. As a result, he thinks it’s just a cheap trick, but, I love the foam the way it comes out-and don’t have to put it in a blender!

[@KatjaNordkvist]

I have to see that! 😂 no matter what the foam is just the best, it also makes the coffee look super appetizing!

[@kathyraygoza3299]

I will need to call the help line. When it works it s wonderful. tried the help on internet. The water tan is full, the machine does not rescaling as it s b free and new and I use filtered water. Trouble shooter says it could be machine error or human error this needs more explanation. When it has worked it makes wonderful tasting coffee and in my Bodum mug is beautiful to look at, I

[@user-if2zt5gk6o]

I also watched James review His point is clear the airated foam is just a gimmick and nespresso lock you in with this feature

[@richardkeller4892]

I don’t like really strong coffee, bit I buy it and hold button down until I get the amount of water I like and it will remember. The only problem is that if it resets then it resets all your pods back to normal.

[@TheElly76]

Very helpful thank you

[@nick000002]

Ours stopped working after 6 months, chip issue, nespresso swapped it over for a pre loved one just the same. Bit worried now that it wont last but ill give it a second chance 😊 Your video quality is very good.

[@KatjaNordkvist]

Oh no! That sounds really annoying 😩 I hope it lasts! Thank you so much 🫶🏼

[@IcedCoffeeLover33]

Those pods look amazing

[@maryyoung6752]

I just wanted to say ..that I came across your video review of the Vertuo Pop (I like espresso/lungo) so , the original line works for me 😊 but, the real reason I wanted to comment is that I am one of those people (like yourself) who drinks coffee for the flavor and not the caffeine … people think I’ll crazy .. so, it’s nice to hear someone saying that

[@KatjaNordkvist]

Yes! It’s nice to hear from fellow decaf people 😂

[@jvmauricio107]

subscribed! thank you for this review. I just got this 2nd hand and just waiting for it to be delivered. have you tried using 3rd party pods with this?

[@KatjaNordkvist]

Thank you so much! As far as I know, third party pods for the Vertuo machines don’t exist yet unfortunately 🤔

[@erikamarais9110]

Thanks you for the very informative video. I had an ordinary Nespresso machine for 8 years. But it stopped working correctly..leaking all over etc. So I bought a Vertuo Pop for me two days ago. The coffee from my new Vertuo Pop is very good. I have one concern however, after watching a Nespresso video on descaling the Vertuo Pop I am very confused/scared Thats looks like a very complex procedure. If I have watched that video earlier, I seriously wouldn't have bought the machine Can you recommend a good video to explain descaling for a Vertuo Pop machine?

[@KatjaNordkvist]

I unfortunately don’t know any good videos! Maybe I’ll make one 😅 But yes it’s a weird procedure and they probably should’ve just added a descaling button like on the original machines

[@jhoelzler]

Nice. Coffee is good ☕

[@KatjaNordkvist]

It is 😍

[@thuongtrang6474]

Hello! Thanks for your review. I changed my mind after watching your review because I need a machine can work for the majority of type of pods on the market. Can I ask if I can use other pods in the Nepresso Vertuo Next model? Not the POP one I mean. Thanks!!

[@KatjaNordkvist]

Pop and Next are only compatible with the Vertuo pods so I think you should go with one of the Original machines instead, sounds like it’ll suit you better 😄

[@hernaniCH]

Do you leave the used pod in the machine? (When you don't plan on making another shot)

[@littlebanshee]

Maybe I’m misunderstanding but I’ve seen the usual Nespresso pods (the newer different shaped version) ones in grocery stores where I live. There’s not a huge selection but it’s nice there is other places to get them other than the original company website (especially since the grocery store has sales at times).

[@elenamariagi]

I just bought one now in Norway on Black Friday for 799 nok ❤

[@KatjaNordkvist]

Great, I hope you’re satisfied with it 😄

[@nicoled985]

I drink coffee for the taste and comfort as well so I get it! :)

[@KatjaNordkvist]

Good to know that it’s not just me 😂

[@relaxationandsleep759]

If you press the button again it will keep dispensing to give you more expresso and press again to stop it anytime. Also double press to get creation mode.

[@MrKlawUK]

these can connect to the app, but I was surprised you can’t do anything with it? I was hoping at least to be able to start a descaling. doing it manually is a really weird combination of open/close/button/open/close/button/button that I have to read the manual every time as I forget

[@KatjaNordkvist]

Yes, it’s completely useless. Or I read that it can help you keep track of how many pods you have left if you connect the machine to the Nespresso app on your phone. But I really don’t see how that would be helpful at all 😅 So it’s basically a useless feature as far as I know

[@lucasroder9459]

Does the Maschine go out by itself or do I have to de-plug it after Use?

[@KatjaNordkvist]

It goes out by itself 😊

[@lucasroder9459]

​@@KatjaNordkvist Thank you 😂🙃

[@jessieblackburn7266]

Your voice reminds me of Amanda Bynes so much

[@KatjaNordkvist]

Not sure if this is good or bad 😅

[@princyyohannan5701]

Does pods come inside nespresso vertuo pop + box ?? Or buy separately i guess !

[@ChiChick312]

if you buy from Nepresso you will get a welcome box of coffees to sample. Besides that, yes you purchase separately

[@lm7439]

You can buy a kit to refill the pods and seal them again totally a money saver cuz the pods can get pricey add any coffee you like

[@jenimar13]

This machine has an expert mode setting vs. the other vertuo machines. It's the only thing that is new imo. It's like a newer version of the Next.

[@TinaTsui]

How to use the mode？

[@unwindwithsarah]

My next has that function!

[@MsCbaird]

is yours the white?! Or is it a cream colour? It's gorg

[@KatjaNordkvist]

The color is just called White on Nespresso’s (danish) site but it’s definitely not optic white! It has more of a creamy color I’d say

[@TinaTsui]

One con that didn’t get mentioned is the noise. It is noticeably much much louder and you can hear the pod rattling inside. :(

[@KatjaNordkvist]

Ah yes! It actually is pretty loud which I imagine can be a problem if you need to get up early and other people in your household are still asleep. But I don’t think I’ve ever heard the pod rattling inside, I don’t think that’s supposed to happen?

[@kanwaln6623]

Kan man bruge alle slags kapsler til den første maskine?

[@KatjaNordkvist]

Ja, den grå maskine virker fint med de kapsler fra andres brands, som man kan købe i forskellige supermarkeder 👍🏼

[@kanwaln6623]

Nej mener den anden som beige farve?

[@mattcam200577]

I wonder if third party manufacturers will ever be able to produce these pods. I hope so, it’s the only reason I haven’t pulled the trigger as of yet

[@crsh2007]

Amazon has reusable pods 😊

[@KatjaNordkvist]

I also hope they will at some point!

[@mattcam200577]

@@KatjaNordkvist well I unexpectedly got one from Santa on Xmas morning and I’m over the moon :-) thank you for your review.

[@robbie5131]

im torn whick color to get white or the gray one?

[@KatjaNordkvist]

I’ll always say go with the white one! 😁

[@robbie5131]

thank you i will get the white one. anyways do you know what is the difference of the POP and the POP+?

[@flyersforcup18]

What colour is the machine ? White or cream?

[@KatjaNordkvist]

It’s white 😅

[@neiahr213]

Can the machine dispense hot water only? I’m a tea drinker

[@KatjaNordkvist]

I don’t think so, because the machine needs the pods to know how much water it has to dispense 😊

[@yitingz3528]

I guess you can use a used empty pod

[@johannehovington1165]

Bonjour ,pouvez vous faire une vidéo traduction en français ,pour le nettoyage de de la machine Vertuo pop ,se serait bien apprécié svp.

[@bleeknee28]

Is this the verturo pop+

[@KatjaNordkvist]

This is just the Vertuo Pop! The Pop+ has a bigger water tank (750 ml instead of 600 ml), bigger pod storage and can brew larger sized cups of coffee 😄

[@MsCellobass]

That the same thing with Lavazza machines. You can only make espresso with just their pods.

[@thereseamyng]

Which country is this machine made in?

[@stegenaszilvia258]

Swiss

[@thereseamyng]

@@stegenaszilvia258 thx 🙏🏻

[@TinaTsui]

Should be China for the machine. The pods are Swiss as always.

[@thereseamyng]

@@TinaTsui Oh. Thx 🙏🏻 for the clarification.

[@thereseamyng]

@@TinaTsui Yes. I got the reply as well from Nespresso. They state that their machines are from Swiss, China & Malaysia.

[@christophergrimaldo6450]

VertuoPlus Deluxe or Pop+ Deluxe?

[@KatjaNordkvist]

I’m pretty sure this is just called the Vertuo Pop in Denmark but I can see that there are other versions in other countries 🤔

[@elizabethdiblasio7825]

You explain it very well.... Thank you! I am enjoying a delicious cup! ❤👃🖕

[@lbjohnston21684]

I drink my coffee for the taste and not caffiene as well. I prefer decaf.

[@KatjaNordkvist]

Cool! It feels a lot better without the caffeine 😅

[@dccorallo]

Coffee does not get hot enough. I can chug a cup down right away without burning my mouth at all.

[@KatjaNordkvist]

Well, I mostly have iced lattes so I haven’t noticed this, but my husband sometimes used our Vertuo Pop and he has never mentioned that as a problem. I think it’s great that you can drink it right away and don’t have to wait for it to cool off 😊

[@dccorallo]

I’ve learned that if you run it a few times it gets hotter. I do like the machine but I use my Keurig for my travel mug as I have a long drive to work. Need that hot coffee here in the northeast

[@ericmundsinger6]

The pop takes capsules not pods. Pods are for the first generation coffee maker.

[@eltripone1234]

you have beautiful eyes. great review

[@KatjaNordkvist]

Thank you so much!

[@ZoesMediaStudios]

What she doesn't tell you is the nespresso pods cost more than the machine

[@KatjaNordkvist]

I actually mention that the Vertuo is only compatible with Nespresso’s own pods, and not third party pods like the original Nespresso machines are. And I also mention that Nespresso’s own pods are more expensive than third party pods, so just to be fair, I have covered that the pods are expensive 😊

[@ZoesMediaStudios]

@@KatjaNordkvist nespresso machines are some of the biggest scams going Intact the entire home making coffee industry is bad, some of these baristas advertised by celebs are shocking Not just you, but many youtubers that do reviews of products never tell the truth

[@Leon-pm6lr]

If you buy coffee pods for 40$ a month from nespresso. The starting price of the machine is not relevant.

[@KatjaNordkvist]

Well, they make a lot of different Vertuo machines and the prices vary greatly. So if someone has decided that they want one despite the cost of the pods I’d argue that the price of the machine is relevant ☺️

[@DrMohammedRahman]

​@@KatjaNordkvist- it's only relevant if the consumer hardly uses the machine or is short-sighted.

[@SpitFireFrenzy]

I love the long rant about how unbiased her opinion is and how there would be "no reason" for her to make a review that's not completely honest. Meanwhile there's a commission link in the video description that she makes money from if you use it to purchase a vertuo 🤦‍♂️

[@kauigirl808]

Lots of youtubers includes links of what's included in the video and earns money. Nobody works for free. Nobody is forced to buy. But if you do decide to purchase, as a thank you for her time to make the video, she has a right to collect incentives. Please don't think everything should be free.

[@mattcam200577]

That’s just advertising, as long as he review is honest then its the consumers choice to buy. It’s normal for KZbin

[@MacBjorn]

That's not a conflict of interest. You don't understand.

[@KatjaNordkvist]

It is unbiased. Nobody paid me to do this review and I’d never do a paid review and call it “a review” because that wouldn’t be a true review, that would just be advertisement and I wouldn’t be able to say what I actually mean. I’m a member of a platform where I can generate these links but I earn absolutely nothing from that link as long as nobody buys a machine 😊 It just increases my chance of earning something from my video and commission links are completely normal for content creators to use on any platform. If I hated the product I’d never include a commission link 😅

[@KatjaNordkvist]

Thank you so much for this comment! It means a lot 🙏🏼

230ml is not enough
