The coffeebutton on my Vertuo Next blinks orange and I cannot start my machine

The unique locking mechanism on the Vertuo Next secures that the capsule stays in place. During the brewing process the capsule can spin up to 4000 rpm.

Therefore it is imperative to always make sure that the handle is fully locked before starting a brew. If this is not done the button will blink orange 2 x and the machine cannot be started. As you see on the picture you need to move the handle passed the lock icon to secure this.

If you have bought your machine in May 2021 and forward there is a slight modification on the lock mechanism.

When you turn the handle to the left to lock it should stop right on top of the lock icon and cannot be moved further.

If this does not help, we recommend you to check our machine assistance page here.
