Nespresso Deluxe Coffee & Espresso Maker

The Vertuo Next Deluxe Dark Chrome by Breville edition is by far a the most disappointing upgrade from the VertuoPlus Deluxe Silver by Breville edition that I just gave away ever. This machine feels and looks and feels like a cheap replacement compared to the other machines I have purchased over the years. The VertuoPlus Deluxe was an amazing machine, a gorgeous design, a large water capacity you could adjust to the right or left depending on where you are displaying it in the kitchen. The Vertuo Next has a ridiculously small water capacity, if you make to 2 to 3 large coffees you must refill the machine and because the designed with the dispenser it in the back of the machine it is hard to access if you have it flush with your kitchen counter. The overall depth of the Vertuo Next and is way too long now, overall, it is an extremely poor design. The nicest feature on the VertuoPlus Deluxe is the one touch electronic opener, it was a great upgrade from the Origional Vertuo Chrome. The new Vertuo Next you must force it right or left to open or close it and it is exceedingly difficult to operate it, you must hold the unit down which mean putting your fingerprints on the chrome to hold the machine down to open or close it. In fact, my wife is having trouble opening or closing it at all, so it is very frustrating for her. The new pod dispenser on the Vertuo Next is also horrible, when you open the top of the machine it dispenses the old pod into the pod trash container and unlike all the other machines, when it dispenses the pod excess coffee also drips into the pod trash container. I did not realize that until I went to empty the pod trash container and coffee spilled all over the place. Lastly the Vertuo Next is the loudest machine ever, and that really is disappointing and when it is making the coffee the froth the machine generates starts breaking down before the coffee even completes preparing. I decided to upgrade and purchased this machine because of the new Carafe Pour-Over that I was so looking forward to it. Unfortunately, this is my second day of ownership, and I have not even tried the Carafe yet but with all the functional and quality issues with the new Vertuo Next, I am not sure what to do. I gave my VertuoPlus Deluxe Silver by Breville to my sister-in-law because she loves coffee but now, I feel like I have an inferior cheaply made product that I would never in a million years though Nespresso would ever create. The Nespresso coffee is superior to anything out there besides going to a barista and the brand has always been first class, I feel like I might need to reconsider my position.
