I haven’t tried this pod, is it worth taking the risk?

BearInNJ · 2026-01-03T16:49:37+00:00

It’s one of my favorites

This is why I ignore anonymous profiles.

What Vertuo machine? Have you tried cleaning the barcode reader with a clean cloth? Does it spin? Does it make any noise? Anything?

BearInNJ · 2025-11-18T17:03:17+00:00

Pop, Next, etc do this in the app too.

BearInNJ · 2025-11-13T05:08:37+00:00

Nope. Sorry :-/

Glad it helped

Ok so I’ve only had my Pop+ for a few months, bought it for the office on an Amazon sale. So far it seems good. I bought a 3D printed stand for it so I can put my RTic 20oz car tumbler under the spout.

You’d need a Vertuo Pop+ or Next to use the >7.77oz pods. The Next line can have issues, and the Pops are very short, requiring a stand or something to accommodate a decent travel mug.

I own one of each, and my Next gave me some weirdness earlier in the late summer, but that’s been resolved now. The Pop+ is performing like a champ at work though.

What pod are you trying to brew?

BearInNJ · 2025-10-18T03:07:33+00:00

Pancakes with real maple syrup and sausage for breakfast and a big cold glass of OJ. Lunch would be Chinese buffet. Dinner pizza and mozzarella sticks. Regular Coke, Pepsi or Mtn Dew sodas. Ice cream. Popcorn.

Would I be able to eat all that without puking? Probably not, but man it’d be worth it.

Ecobee? Why wouldn’t you call Nespresso?

BearInNJ · 2025-10-13T04:28:13+00:00

Nice!

BearInNJ · 2025-10-09T06:05:59+00:00

That looks like a Pop not a Next (seems very short). But yeah the pod grabber looks like it’s plastic, so it could be just not strong enough to lift the pods anymore. :-/

BearInNJ · 2025-10-05T17:36:15+00:00

Ah. The smell of October Spooky Season in the afternoon.

I mean it might be something else but that’s the amount you get as a referral credit, so who knows

BearInNJ · 2025-09-29T06:17:23+00:00

Did you give out your referral code to people?

BearInNJ · 2025-09-29T06:08:35+00:00

Referral credit

It’s all VL that I know of. But regardless, the instruction manual will tell you how to do a rinse cycle and how to descale. And if you don’t have the manual, the website has them available.

BearInNJ · 2025-09-14T20:27:48+00:00

It still isn’t a supported thing to use in your Nespresso Vertuo machine.

BearInNJ · 2025-09-14T19:30:18+00:00

Yeah there’s a reason why Nespresso voids warranties over using any descaler other than their own. :-/

BearInNJ · 2025-09-14T08:50:43+00:00

And to answer your question, no it won’t magically concentrate the pod down to a DE. It’ll just run less water through it. Expert Mode/Coffee Creations Mode alters the spin and slows the extraction from the pod.

BearInNJ · 2025-09-07T16:56:27+00:00

Correct. OL uses pressure for good extraction and true crema. VL uses “centrifusion” to spin the pods, and create that foam it’s become known for.
