Why we picked it
01
Five cup sizes, one button
Centrifusion technology reads the barcode on each Vertuo pod and adjusts brew time, water volume, and rotation speed automatically. You get espresso, double, gran lugo, mug, or alto coffee without guessing.
02
Milk froth without a steam wand
The included Aeroccino frother whips hot or cold milk foam in about 60 seconds, hands-off. It's the easiest way to pull together a cappuccino or iced latte before the coffee finishes brewing.
03
Fast heat-up, auto shut-off
Heats in 15-20 seconds from cold and powers down after nine minutes of inactivity. The 60-oz tank moves and slides three ways, which helps in tight counter setups under cabinets.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pod system | Vertuo only | Vertuo only | Original only | K-Cup |
| Cup sizes | 5 sizes | 5 sizes | 8 sizes | 4 sizes |
| Water tank | 60 oz | 37 oz | 50 oz | 60 oz |

| Heat-up time | 15-20 seconds | 20-30 seconds | 3 seconds | About 1 minute |
| In short | Our pick — Hits the middle ground: a bigger 60 oz tank and sturdier build than the compact Vertuo Next, without paying double for the Creatista's steam wand, and with better crema than the K-Cup budget pick. | Slimmer footprint and lower price, but the build feels lighter and the tank is smaller. | Adds a real steam wand and stainless build for latte art, at roughly double the price. | Cheaper and uses widely available K-Cups, but coffee quality is noticeably thinner. |

Common questions
- Can it use regular Nespresso Original pods?
- No. Vertuo machines only accept Vertuo pods, which are larger and barcoded. If you already have a stash of Original capsules or want third-party pod variety, look at a Nespresso Original-line machine instead.
- How does it compare to the Vertuo Next?
- The Next is slimmer, lighter, and slightly cheaper, but the VertuoPlus has a larger water tank and a motorized lid that feels more substantial day to day. Brew quality is essentially identical.
- Does it make true espresso?
- It brews a 1.35 oz espresso pod with crema, but it uses centrifugal extraction at lower pressure than a traditional pump machine. Serious espresso drinkers chasing barista-level shots will be happier with a Breville Bambino or similar.
- Who should skip this machine?
- Anyone who wants to grind fresh beans, control extraction variables, or avoid the ongoing cost and waste of pods. Vertuo pods run roughly $1-$1.50 each and aren't widely available outside Nespresso's own channels.
