hey guys welcome to planning with crystal so today's video is gonna be an unboxing of the
nespresso virtuo next which is the new virtual machine that nespresso have released i've just
purchased this as an upgrade from my usual virtual machine which is just this um nespresso
virtual plus machine and i will be doing a comparison between the two machines in a separate
video so if you want to see that definitely subscribe and stick around to see that video
so i'm gonna unbox this today i'm also gonna show you how to pair this up via bluetooth to your
phone to do updates and stuff and then i'm gonna run an update before i start using the machine
just to make sure um there's no updates required and stuff so straight away i can see with this
machine the box is made out of what appears to be like a recycled cardboard and it seems that
with this edition of the virtual machines they've started really thinking a little bit more about
the sort of sustainability and um things around their machines and the things that they are
selling so they've always done as far as i know they've always done the recycling of the capsules
and but now it's saying that the machine has been made of 54 recycled plastic it shuts off after
two minutes which is much faster than the other virtual machine switch off time and yeah it just
goes into a little bit of detail here about how much of the materials are recycled and whatnot so
this 100 recyclable i assume we can just recycle the whole box anyway if you're still with me at
this point let's get everything out the box i'm going to show you everything that came in
here and then like i said we'll do the bluetooth pairing as well and we'll make a drink of course
because i will need a coffee by the end of this so that easy to open we just flip those two down
and lift up the lid and then it just pulls down like this very much like when i unboxed um
the nespresso creators to pro which i've done a video on if you want to see that
so we've got the instruction manual as you would expect there is the little cup tray
here of course is the machine it's also gone for the gray version and this you can just
put in place at different levels depending on what kind of cup size you're going to be
dispensing this is a little water tank here at the back
gotta say ever so slightly confused they normally come with some capsules to try
and for some reason there isn't any in this box so i'm not sure what's happened there
and i've been through the box definitely none of them there very strange when i said the nespresso
virtuo next machine was missing two items these are the two items i actually emailed nespresso and
within a couple of hours of sending the email somebody called me and then within 24 hours
these showed up on the doorstep and these are the two items i was missing so in terms of customer
service i absolutely cannot fault them they have made it right and very quickly so all this is it's
um just a little booklet that sort of introduces you to virtuo into nespresso gives you various
offers you can take advantage of on your first orders and things like that and it tells you
about all of the different coffee options that they currently have in um in virtuosize and just
as some other bits and pieces about recycling and stuff so if you are new to espresso it's
nice to have that in the package and then you can have a look at it all and then this is the box
of capsules now let's get this open i can show you okay which what is in this particular pack
now even though i have been drinking nespresso coffee for seven years and since virtuo came out i
also drink the original lime i love to get this in my box because it just sort of refreshes my memory
as to which coffees i particularly like and they always tend to be bringing out new ones and things
so there's always a chance there's some in here you haven't tried or haven't tried for a while
so i just like the selection i wish they sold a bit of a selection box that you could try lots of
different ones a few times because sometimes you don't want to buy a box of 10 to find actually i
don't like that one so yeah so there's like a range of sizes and stuff in here as well
so these are the smaller ones so in here we get the diavalito i believe it is and that is a
strength 11 espresso we also get an altissio which is another espresso strength number nine we get
voltesso another espresso strange number four then we are into our um barista creations
so this is bianca legro and this is an 80 mil coffee and it's designed to be drank with milk
then this one is fortado and this one is strength number eight grand longo 150mls of coffee then
you get double espresso chiro which is strength number six and it's one of the double espressos
80 ml sized coffees this one this one is bianco photo 40 bianco forte it's another bristol
creations and it is a 230 ml size but again designed to be drink drank with milk so it
would make a great latte or something that has a lot of milk in then we've got stormio and stormio
is one of the coffee mug size 230 mil coffees inner strength number eight
melozio 230 mils one of my favorite from the range in fact strength number six coffee mug
size then we have got columbia which is one of the master origins it's 230 ml strength number five
there is a decaf in here and this is decaffeinato again mug size 230 ml strength number six
finally we have got alto dolce now alto dolce is one of the largest capsules that they make it
is a strength number four they do two um in this size they do the alto dolce which is strength
four and the alto intenso which is strength seven so this is 414 mils i don't even have a cup big
enough to dispense this in i generally dispense it into a cup and then the rest into like a milk jug
and just top up my coffee as i'm going so it's not generally one that i um repurchase because
i just think it's too big the taste is nice but the coffee is just crazy size
for me personally some people might absolutely love it and but that's everything that comes in
the little selection box that is as of may 2020 and they tend to keep the kits similar for a
while anyway i should also mention your little capsule holder is this thing at the side that's
what it looks like and so it this bit comes out i think to clean yeah it slides out like
that so that you can give it a clean and just slide this back in like that and then you just
to pull it out it's got a little lip here on the top you just put your finger in and pull it down
like that anyway let's try out the connectivity with the mobile phone okay so this is me trying to
connect to bluetooth via my mobile phone it was a completely not a nightmare i must have tried this
16 different times i know because i counted it and it didn't seem to matter what i did it just
would not pair at all so i actually ended up going grabbing an ipad that was nearby me and just using
that to see how that would work okay so we're going to start by launching the nespresso app
on your device and clicking this little machine icon up there this will then take you to the next
page i'm going to show you which you will use for the pairing okay so i'm going to try the bluetooth
pairing now the reason why i'm using this rather old disheveled ipad is because it is not playing
well with my phone so i'm going to try it with the app on the ipad so make sure your machine is open
make sure you press and hold the button on the top plug in the machine click pair with this machine
so it never did this when i tried to do this on my phone it would not do anything it just kept saying
it couldn't find it i need to switch my bluetooth on and it oh my gosh yes it is let's try again
so when you press it it should go white if the bluetooth is working in the machine
and it is going white so hopefully it will find it i'm gonna try and
actually put it inside it and see if that helps oh found it you have no idea hurrah how difficult
this was so it lights a pair let's pair oh my gosh so if this doesn't work for you it's not you it is
absolutely your device because for some reason and bear in mind i'm using an iphone 11 pro one of the
latest phones out there it would not connect no matter what i did anyway now it's connected so
then we click continue and it's connecting it to the wi-fi network hopefully it also says of course
to make sure that you have oh gosh we've got some wi-fi password in standby okay so now i'm showing
you a picture the connection was eventually successful after many attempts i'm not really
sure why this process is so difficult and this is then a picture that you can see in your account
and it just tells you that the wi-fi status is connected and then after all that there wasn't
actually any updates to do but once you click onto your machine you can then see all these different
little bits of information so let's finally after all that let's start a coffee because i feel
like i need one after that demo so i'm gonna put a cup obviously on the cup rest always a
good idea when you're preparing coffee and i think i'm gonna have a melozio which is this one
probably one of my favorites so you pop it in like that with the dome facing down
and then you just push this down and slide it there to the left until it's locked in place
press the button once and it dispenses your coffee
so
and then to release the capsule you just turn it back to unlock lift it up
and it just slides down that little slide and into the capsule container
and here is the coffee now it's been made looks good
tastes good as well it's got a nice temperature to it too and at the moment they're actually
doing a promotion where if you buy the machine and the machine resells at 150 pounds you get
50 odd pounds worth of coffee for free it's just like a promotion that they are running so you get
all of these included for free there's ten in each box there's alticio double espresso skuro arangio
colombio colombia saristomio furtado melozio which is one i just made bianco forte which
must be good with milk hazelino which is the hazelnut flavored one and decaffeinato
all different sizes and in my next video where i compare this machine with the other nespresso
virtual machine then i will go into a bit more detail about the different cup sizes and
a little bit more information about that so definitely hit that subscribe button and let
me know what other nespresso videos you'd like to see thank you so much for watching bye guys
