The best Nespresso coffee machine for most buyers is the VertuoPlus Deluxe with Aeroccino: its wide drink range and included milk frother make it a versatile starting point. For a smaller counter, the Vertuo Pop+ offers a more compact Vertuo setup, while the CitiZ with Aeroccino3 suits espresso drinkers who prefer the Original capsule system. The main tradeoffs are capsule compatibility, machine size, and whether you want milk handled by the machine or prepared separately. Vertuo models brew larger cup sizes, while Original models focus on espresso-style drinks. Read on for the full comparison and guidance by buyer type.

Key Takeaways
- The VertuoPlus Deluxe with Aeroccino is the most balanced pick here because it pairs Vertuo’s broader drink-size range with a separate milk frother.
- The CitiZ is the only Original-line option in this lineup, making it the clearest fit for buyers who mainly want espresso and espresso-based drinks.
- Vertuo Pop+ models prioritize a smaller footprint, while the larger VertuoPlus and Vertuo machines suit buyers with more counter space.
- Vertuo Lattissima is the standout for integrated milk drinks; its built-in milk system favors one-touch convenience over simpler cleaning.
- Several entries are color, bundle, or brand variants of the same machine family, so compare the included frother and configuration rather than assuming a different name means a different brew system.

More Details on Our Top Picks
Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Coffee and Espresso Maker by Breville, Coconut White
The Vertuo Pop+ suits kitchens where counter space matters more than a large water reserve. It makes five coffee and espresso sizes, including choices for iced drinks, while its 30-second heat-up and one-touch operation keep the routine simple. Compared with the wider Vertuo Next, its 8.6-inch width is easier to fit into a tight setup; its removable side tank also offers some placement flexibility. The tradeoff is capacity: the 25-ounce tank means frequent refills if you make several drinks a day. It also accepts only Vertuo capsules, so buyers seeking Original-line espresso options should look elsewhere. Recycled plastic in the machine and recyclable capsules are useful materials-conscious details, but they do not change the pod restriction.
Pros:- Brews five coffee and espresso sizes, including options suited to iced drinks
- Compact 8.6-inch width and removable side-mounted water tank help with tight counter layouts
- One-touch operation and a 30-second heat-up simplify quick drinks
- Uses 35% recycled plastic and recyclable Vertuo capsules
Cons:- The 25-ounce water tank needs frequent refilling for multiple daily drinks
- Works only with Nespresso Vertuo capsules
Best for: Apartment dwellers and occasional coffee drinkers who want several drink sizes from a narrow, easy-to-use machine.
Not ideal for: Households that make many drinks each day or buyers who want a larger water reservoir or compatibility with Nespresso Original capsules.
- Brew sizes:5 oz, 8 oz, and 12 oz coffee; single and double espresso
- Water tank capacity:25 fl oz (0.75 L)
- Heat-up time:30 seconds
- Dimensions:14 × 8.6 × 10.4 in (D × W × H)
- Weight:3.6 kg
- Compatible capsules:Nespresso Vertuo
- Operation:Fully automatic
Our verdict“Choose the Vertuo Pop+ if you want versatile one-touch drinks in a compact footprint and can live with frequent refills and Vertuo-only pods.”
Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee and Espresso Maker by Breville, Navy Blue
The Vertuo Next is the lineup’s narrowest choice here, at just 5.5 inches wide, while still brewing six sizes from espresso to an 18-ounce coffee. Its capsule-reading system adjusts the brew to the selected Vertuo pod, so the user gets a capsule-specific result without choosing settings manually. Compared with the smaller-capacity Vertuo Pop+, the Next’s 1.1-liter tank is better suited to making drinks throughout the day. Its tall, deep profile still needs room, so the slim width can be misleading on a crowded or shallow counter. The main compromise is flexibility beyond the Vertuo system: it cannot use Original capsules. This is a practical pick for buyers who prioritize a narrow footprint and larger coffee servings over milk-drink features.
Pros:- Six drink sizes include coffee up to 18 oz and single or double espresso
- At 5.5 inches wide, it fits narrow counter gaps better than the Vertuo Lattissima
- Capsule recognition adjusts brewing to each compatible pod
- 1.1-liter tank holds more water than the Vertuo Pop+ tank
Cons:- Vertuo capsules are the only compatible pod system
- Its 16.9-inch depth and 12.4-inch height can still require substantial clearance
- No included or built-in milk frother for cappuccinos and lattes
Best for: People with a narrow counter who want both espresso and large coffee servings and prefer automatic capsule-based brewing.
Not ideal for: Buyers seeking built-in milk preparation, a shallow machine, or compatibility with Nespresso Original capsules.
- Coffee sizes:5 oz, 8 oz, 12 oz, and 18 oz
- Espresso sizes:Single and double
- Water tank capacity:1.1 L
- Dimensions:16.9 × 5.5 × 12.4 in
- Weight:4.3 kg
- Compatible capsules:Nespresso Vertuo
- Operation:Fully automatic
Our verdict“Pick the Vertuo Next if a very narrow width and six brew sizes matter more than milk automation or a compact overall depth.”
Nespresso Vertuo Lattissima Coffee and Espresso Maker by De’Longhi, White
The Vertuo Lattissima earns its place by making milk drinks part of the machine rather than an extra step. Its built-in system prepares cappuccinos, lattes, and milk foam alongside six coffee and espresso sizes, making it more convenient for daily milk-drink routines than the Vertuo Next, which has no milk system. The detachable, dishwasher-safe 16-ounce milk tank makes cleanup less involved than maintaining a fixed milk container. That convenience comes with a larger, heavier machine: at 14 pounds and 16 inches deep, it asks for more counter space than the Vertuo Pop+. It also remains tied to Vertuo capsules, and the milk features add complexity for anyone who mostly drinks black coffee. Buyers who want an included separate frother rather than integrated milk handling may prefer the VertuoPlus Deluxe bundle.
Pros:- Built-in milk system prepares cappuccinos, lattes, and milk foam
- Detachable 16-ounce milk tank is dishwasher-safe
- Offers six coffee and espresso sizes, including 18-ounce coffee
- Heats up in 30 seconds and supports one-button operation
Cons:- Bulkier and heavier than the Vertuo Pop+
- Uses only Nespresso Vertuo capsules
- Milk-system features add little value for buyers who mainly drink black coffee
Best for: Daily latte and cappuccino drinkers who want milk preparation integrated with a Vertuo capsule machine and easy-to-clean tank.
Not ideal for: Black-coffee drinkers, small-kitchen owners, or buyers who want a lighter machine or broader capsule compatibility.
- Brew sizes:5 oz, 8 oz, 12 oz, and 18 oz coffee; single and double espresso
- Milk tank capacity:16 fl oz
- Heat-up time:30 seconds
- Dimensions:16 × 7.5 × 12.4 in
- Weight:14 lb
- Compatible capsules:Nespresso Vertuo
- Warranty:2 years
Our verdict“Choose the Vertuo Lattissima if you regularly make milk drinks and want integrated preparation, provided you have counter space for its larger body.”
Nespresso VertuoPlus Deluxe Coffee and Espresso Machine with Aeroccino Milk Frother
The VertuoPlus Deluxe pairs four core brew sizes with an Aeroccino3 that can make hot or cold milk foam. That split setup suits buyers who want milk drinks sometimes but would rather keep the frother separate from the coffee machine. Compared with the Vertuo Lattissima, it has fewer brew sizes and no integrated milk tank, but the standalone frother can be used independently and avoids building milk handling into every coffee routine. Its 60-ounce reservoir is also much larger than the Vertuo Pop+ tank, reducing refill interruptions. The listed dimensions make it notably wide, so it is not the best fit for a narrow counter despite its generous capacity. It also uses Vertuo capsules exclusively, and the used-capsule container needs emptying after it holds up to 17 capsules.
Pros:- 60-ounce reservoir reduces refills compared with the Vertuo Pop+
- Aeroccino3 makes hot or cold milk foam separately from brewing
- Barcode reading sets brewing parameters for compatible capsules
- 15–20-second heat-up supports quick preparation
Cons:- Listed width of 16.7 inches makes it a poor fit for narrow counters
- Brews four listed sizes, fewer than the six-size Vertuo Next and Vertuo Lattissima
- Used-capsule container holds up to 17 capsules before emptying
Best for: Households that want a large water reservoir and occasional hot or cold milk foam from a separate included frother.
Not ideal for: Small-counter kitchens, buyers who want integrated one-button milk drinks, or anyone seeking compatibility with Original capsules.
- Brew sizes:1.35 oz, 2.7 oz, 5.0 oz, and 7.7 oz
- Water reservoir capacity:60 oz
- Heat-up time:15–20 seconds
- Included frother:Aeroccino3; hot or cold milk foam
- Dimensions:5.6 in D × 16.7 in W × 12.8 in H
- Weight:10.3 lb
- Automatic shutoff:After 9 minutes
- Coffee input:Nespresso Vertuo capsules
Our verdict“Choose the VertuoPlus Deluxe if you value a large reservoir and a separate hot-and-cold frother more than a narrow footprint or integrated milk drinks.”
Nespresso Vertuo Up Coffee and Espresso Maker by De’Longhi, White
The Vertuo Up is the most customization-focused option in this group, with a dedicated mode for making more concentrated coffee over ice and app controls for cup size and temperature. Its three-second start is faster than the Vertuo Pop+’s 30-second heat-up, while the 47-ounce repositionable tank gives it a far greater water reserve than that compact model. Six brew sizes cover coffee and espresso, so the iced-drink controls do not come at the expense of everyday variety. The tradeoff is reliance on Vertuo capsules and a plastic construction, with a one-year warranty listed in the product data. It also asks buyers to use the Smart App for the stated customization, unlike the simpler one-touch Vertuo Next. This fits app-comfortable drink makers more than people seeking a basic, minimal setup.
Pros:- Dedicated mode makes more concentrated coffee for iced drinks
- Starts in three seconds and offers six coffee and espresso sizes
- 47-ounce repositionable tank holds more water than the Vertuo Pop+
- Smart App allows cup-size and temperature customization
Cons:- Requires Nespresso Vertuo capsules
- Plastic construction may not suit buyers seeking a different material finish
- Listed warranty is one year
Best for: Iced-coffee drinkers who want concentrated-over-ice brewing, app-based drink adjustments, and a repositionable water tank.
Not ideal for: Buyers who avoid app controls, prefer a less plastic-forward build, or want Original capsule compatibility.
- Brew sizes:Six sizes
- Water tank capacity:47 fl oz, repositionable
- Start time:3 seconds
- Iced-drink feature:Dedicated mode for more concentrated coffee over ice
- Dimensions:15.4 × 8.7 × 10.1 in
- Weight:9 lb
- Compatible capsules:Nespresso Vertuo
- Warranty:1 year
Our verdict“Choose the Vertuo Up if iced coffee and app-based adjustments are priorities and you are comfortable with Vertuo pods and plastic construction.”
Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe Coffee Machine with Aeroccino3 Milk Frother, Matte Black Gold
The Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe pairs a space-conscious machine with an Aeroccino3 frother, making it a useful pick for buyers who want milk drinks without a separate appliance. It brews several coffee sizes as well as single and double espresso, while one-touch operation and a 30-second heat-up keep the routine simple. Compared with the Vertuo Next models, this version has a shorter listed footprint, though its 25-ounce tank means more frequent refills than their 37-ounce reservoirs. The side-mounted removable tank can suit a tight counter layout, but the plastic construction and Vertuo-only capsule compatibility limit its appeal. Choose it for compact convenience and included milk foam; skip it if a large water supply or access to other capsule systems matters more.
Pros:- Brews coffee in several sizes plus single and double espresso
- Includes an Aeroccino3 for hot or cold milk foam
- Removable side tank can make a compact counter arrangement easier
- One-touch brewing and a 30-second heat-up simplify morning use
Cons:- The 25-ounce water tank is smaller than the 37-ounce tank on the Vertuo Next models
- Works only with Nespresso Vertuo capsules
- Plastic construction may feel less substantial than buyers expect
Best for: Apartment dwellers who want an included hot-and-cold frother and a compact Vertuo setup for varied coffee and espresso drinks.
Not ideal for: Households brewing several large coffees a day, since the 25-ounce reservoir needs frequent refilling, or buyers who want capsule-system flexibility.
- Compatible capsules:Nespresso Vertuo
- Brew sizes:5, 8, 12, and 18 oz coffee; single and double espresso
- Water tank capacity:25 fl oz
- Dimensions:14 x 8.6 x 10.4 in
- Weight:10.3 lb
- Heat-up time:30 seconds
- Included components:Aeroccino3 milk frother and capsule starter set
- Color:Matte Black Gold
Our verdict“Pick this bundle if you want a compact Vertuo machine with milk frothing included and can live with a smaller reservoir.”
Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee and Espresso Maker by De’Longhi, Black
At just 5.5 inches wide, this Vertuo Next is the lineup’s space-saving choice for buyers who want multiple drink sizes but do not need milk equipment included. It handles coffee from 5 to 18 ounces as well as single and double espresso, and Centrifusion technology adjusts brewing to the capsule. Its 37-ounce tank holds more than the Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe’s 25-ounce reservoir, so refills should be less frequent even though the Next’s long, narrow profile still needs room front to back. Compared with the Creamy White Vertuo Next bundle, this black version omits the Aeroccino3, keeping the setup simpler but leaving milk foam to a separate purchase. It also uses Vertuo capsules only, so capsule choice is restricted to that system.
Pros:- Slim 5.5-inch width fits narrow counter spaces
- Brews six coffee and espresso sizes, including 18-ounce coffee
- 37-ounce removable tank reduces refill frequency versus the Pop+ Deluxe
- Automatically adjusts brewing to each Vertuo capsule
Cons:- No milk frother is included, unlike the bundled Creamy White Vertuo Next
- Vertuo-only capsule compatibility limits capsule selection
- Its narrow but deep footprint still requires front-to-back counter space
Best for: Counter-space-conscious coffee drinkers who want a slim machine, a 37-ounce tank, and both espresso and larger coffees without an included frother.
Not ideal for: Buyers who regularly make cappuccinos or lattes and want milk frothing in the box, or anyone seeking compatibility beyond Vertuo capsules.
- Compatible capsules:Nespresso Vertuo
- Brew sizes:5, 8, 12, and 18 oz coffee; single and double espresso
- Technology:Centrifusion
- Water capacity:37 fl oz
- Dimensions:16.9 × 5.5 × 12.4 in (D × W × H)
- Weight:8.8 lb
- Wattage:1500 W
- Features:Auto shut-off, removable drip tray, removable tank
Our verdict“Choose this model if a narrow profile and larger reservoir matter more to you than having a frother included.”
Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee Machine with Aeroccino3 Milk Frother, Creamy White
This Vertuo Next bundle makes the most sense for buyers who like the Next’s slim shape but want milk foam ready from day one. Its Aeroccino3 froths hot or cold milk, while the machine covers coffee sizes up to 18 ounces along with single and double espresso. The 37-ounce tank is a practical step up from the Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe’s 25-ounce reservoir, helping reduce refill stops during regular use. Compared with the black Vertuo Next, this package adds the frother without changing the narrow 5.5-inch width. The tradeoff is a longer, deeper body than the Pop+ Deluxe and the same Vertuo-only capsule system. Its partly recycled materials may appeal to waste-conscious buyers, but the product data does not specify the recycled share.
Pros:- Includes an Aeroccino3 for hot and cold milk foam
- 37-ounce tank holds more than the Pop+ Deluxe reservoir
- Slim 5.5-inch width leaves more side-to-side counter space
- Brews several coffee sizes plus single and double espresso
Cons:- Long 16.9-inch depth can be awkward on shallow counters
- Compatible only with Nespresso Vertuo capsules
- The machine and frother require more counter space together than the machine alone
Best for: Buyers who want a narrow Vertuo Next with an included frother for occasional cappuccinos, lattes, and cold milk foam.
Not ideal for: People with very shallow counters or anyone who prefers a broad choice of capsule brands and systems.
- Compatible pods:Nespresso Vertuo
- Coffee sizes:5, 8, 12, and 18 oz
- Espresso sizes:Single and double
- Water tank capacity:37 fl oz
- Dimensions:16.9 x 5.5 x 12.4 in
- Weight:8.8 lb
- Included components:Aeroccino3 milk frother and starter set
- Color:Creamy White
Our verdict“Choose this bundle over the plain Vertuo Next if milk drinks are part of your routine and you have room for its long footprint.”
Nespresso Vertuo Coffee and Espresso Machine by De’Longhi, Piano Black
The Piano Black Vertuo stands apart from the Next models with its 54-ounce reservoir and used-capsule container that holds up to 17 capsules. Those capacities make it a stronger fit for shared kitchens or repeat brewing, with less frequent water refilling and capsule emptying than the Vertuo Next’s 37-ounce tank. Barcode-reading Centrifusion technology sets brewing for each capsule, and the listed heat-up time of 15–20 seconds is shorter than the Pop+ Deluxe’s 30 seconds. It brews four listed cup sizes, from espresso through 7.7-ounce coffee, so it does not offer the Next models’ 12- and 18-ounce servings. This machine-only configuration also lacks an included frother, making it less suited to milk-drink routines unless you already own one.
Pros:- 54-ounce reservoir is larger than the Vertuo Next’s 37-ounce tank
- Used-capsule storage holds up to 17 capsules
- Barcode reading adjusts brewing settings to each compatible capsule
- Listed heat-up time is 15–20 seconds
Cons:- Largest listed coffee serving is 7.7 ounces, below the Next models’ 18-ounce option
- No milk frother is specified as included
- Vertuo capsules are the only listed capsule compatibility
Best for: Shared kitchens and frequent Vertuo drinkers who prioritize a large water reservoir and generous used-capsule storage.
Not ideal for: People who want 12- or 18-ounce coffee servings, an included milk frother, or a narrow machine for a tight counter.
- Compatible capsules:Nespresso Vertuo
- Cup sizes:1.35, 2.7, 5, and 7.7 oz
- Water reservoir capacity:54 oz
- Used-capsule capacity:Up to 17 capsules
- Heat-up time:15–20 seconds
- Dimensions:8.97 in D × 12.22 in W × 12.33 in H
- Weight:11 lb
- Auto shut-off:After 9 minutes of inactivity
Our verdict“Pick this Vertuo if you brew often and value a large tank and capsule bin more than oversized coffees or an included frother.”
Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee and Espresso Maker by De’Longhi, Creamy White and Gold
The Creamy White and Gold Vertuo Next combines the family’s slim 5.5-inch profile with an included milk frother and a capsule starter set. It makes coffee in several sizes, including 18 ounces, plus single and double espresso; capsule recognition adjusts brewing automatically, reducing setup decisions for a one-touch routine. Compared with the black Vertuo Next, this bundle adds a frother, while matching the 37-ounce tank and narrow width of the Creamy White model with Aeroccino3. Its distinguishing appeal is the white-and-gold finish, not a larger reservoir or broader brewing range. The plastic body and Vertuo-only compatibility are meaningful limits, and the long 16.9-inch depth can be harder to place than the compact Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe. The provided details also do not name the included frother model.
Pros:- Distinctive Creamy White and Gold finish
- Includes a milk frother and starter capsule set
- Slim 5.5-inch width and 37-ounce water tank
- Capsule recognition adjusts brewing for coffee and espresso sizes
Cons:- Plastic construction may not suit buyers seeking a more substantial finish
- Compatible only with Nespresso Vertuo capsules
- Long 16.9-inch depth can limit placement on shallow counters
Best for: Style-conscious buyers who want a slim Vertuo Next, a range of coffee and espresso sizes, and a frother in the package.
Not ideal for: Buyers seeking metal construction, compatibility with multiple capsule systems, or a shorter machine for a shallow counter.
- Model number:ENV120WG
- Compatible capsules:Nespresso Vertuo
- Brew sizes:5, 8, 12, and 18 oz coffee; single and double espresso
- Brewing technology:Centrifusion
- Water tank capacity:37 fl oz
- Dimensions:16.9 x 5.5 x 12.4 in (D x W x H)
- Weight:8.8 lb
- Included components:Coffee and espresso maker, starter capsule set, milk frother
- Color:Creamy white and gold
Our verdict“Choose this bundle if its finish and included frother appeal to you, and its long footprint and plastic build fit your kitchen.”
Nespresso CitiZ Espresso Machine with Aeroccino3 Milk Frother
I’d choose the CitiZ with Aeroccino3 for a buyer who prefers short espresso drinks and wants milk froth without adding a separate appliance. Its Original capsule system brews espresso and lungo with one-touch controls, while the included frother handles hot milk and hot or cold foam. Compared with the Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe, the CitiZ offers fewer drink sizes and does not make larger cups of coffee, but its Original format makes it a more focused fit for espresso-first routines. The tradeoff is a single-serve workflow: it cannot brew a pot, and capsule choice is limited to Nespresso Original. Its footprint is compact relative to many machines, though the stated 14.6-inch width still calls for a check of available counter space.
Pros:- One-touch espresso and lungo brewing keeps daily preparation simple
- Aeroccino3 makes hot milk and hot or cold milk froth
- Original capsule format suits buyers focused on espresso-style drinks
- Compact design compared with larger machines
Cons:- Limited to Nespresso Original capsules
- Does not brew larger coffee sizes or multiple servings at once
- The stated 14.6-inch width may be a constraint on narrow counters
Best for: Espresso drinkers who want a simple Original-capsule machine and an included frother for cappuccinos or iced milk drinks.
Not ideal for: Households that mainly want full-size mugs of coffee or need to brew several servings at once; this machine makes only espresso and lungo, one serving at a time.
- Capsule compatibility:Nespresso Original
- Pressure:19 bars
- Brew sizes:Espresso: 1.35 oz; lungo: 3.7 oz
- Included accessory:Aeroccino3 milk frother
- Dimensions:11.3 x 14.6 x 12.44 in (D x W x H)
- Weight:8.7 lb
- Wattage:1710 W
- Voltage:110 V
Our verdict“Pick the CitiZ if espresso and milk drinks matter more than broad cup-size choice or batch brewing.”
Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe Coffee and Espresso Maker by De’Longhi, Black
The Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe brings a wider range of drink sizes to a compact machine: it brews five sizes, including espresso, coffee and Alto, with one-touch operation. I’d favor it over the CitiZ for someone who alternates between small espresso servings and larger coffee cups, since the CitiZ is limited to espresso and lungo. The side-accessible 37.2-ounce tank can make refilling easier when the machine sits in a tight spot, and automatic capsule ejection reduces handling after brewing. Its 30-second heat-up is quick, though not as fast as the 15–20-second claim for the Vertuo with Aeroccino3. The main compromise is the Vertuo-only capsule system; heavy users may also refill the tank often, and this version does not include a frother.
Pros:- Five brew sizes cover espresso through larger coffee servings
- Side-accessible, removable 37.2 oz water tank suits tighter placements
- One-touch brewing and automatic capsule ejection simplify routine use
- Compact body weighs 7.9 lb
Cons:- Works only with Nespresso Vertuo capsules
- Does not include a milk frother
- The 37.2 oz tank may need frequent refilling with heavy use
Best for: Apartment dwellers or coffee drinkers with limited counter space who want both espresso-sized drinks and larger Vertuo cups.
Not ideal for: Buyers who want an included milk frother, use Original capsules, or make frequent large-volume drinks without refilling.
- Capsule compatibility:Nespresso Vertuo
- Brew sizes:Five sizes, including espresso, coffee and Alto
- Water tank:37.2 fl oz, side-accessible
- Heat-up time:About 30 seconds
- Dimensions:8.6 x 14 x 10.4 in (D x W x H)
- Weight:7.9 lb
- Wattage:1500 W
- Included components:Machine and welcome pack of Vertuo capsules
Our verdict“Choose this Pop+ Deluxe if compact placement and multiple Vertuo cup sizes matter more than a built-in frothing accessory.”
Nespresso Vertuo Coffee and Espresso Maker with Aeroccino Milk Frother, Chrome
For someone who wants coffee, espresso and milk froth from one setup, this Vertuo bundle is a more versatile pick than the CitiZ: Vertuo capsules support multiple cup sizes, and the included Aeroccino3 makes hot or cold froth. Its barcode-guided brewing adjusts the settings for each capsule, so buyers can change drink styles without manually tuning a recipe. The stated 15–20-second heat-up also makes it a quick option for short morning routines. Compared with the Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe, this model has a larger 40-ounce reservoir and includes a frother, but it takes a different shape and offers no stated side-access tank. The tradeoff is limited customization: capsule barcodes govern the brew, and the machine accepts only Vertuo capsules. The listing’s capacity data is inconsistent, so I would verify the reservoir information before purchase.
Pros:- Brews several coffee and espresso sizes with one-touch operation
- Barcode recognition adjusts brewing parameters for each capsule
- Aeroccino3 makes hot or cold milk froth
- Listed heat-up time is 15–20 seconds
Cons:- Limited to Nespresso Vertuo capsules
- Barcode-led brewing offers limited manual customization
- The product information gives inconsistent reservoir-capacity details
Best for: Vertuo users who want several coffee sizes, barcode-guided brewing and an included frother in one machine.
Not ideal for: Buyers who prefer to set brew parameters themselves, need Original capsule compatibility, or require fully consistent reservoir specifications.
- Capsule compatibility:Nespresso Vertuo
- Brew sizes:1.35 oz, 2.7 oz, 5.0 oz, 7.7 oz and one additional unspecified size
- Water reservoir:40 oz stated in the description; capacity data is inconsistent
- Heat-up time:15–20 seconds
- Included accessory:Aeroccino3 milk frother
- Dimensions:11.91 x 11.93 x 8.32 in (D x W x H)
- Weight:4.9 kg
- Wattage:1350 W
Our verdict“Choose this Vertuo bundle for automatic variety and milk froth, but check the reservoir details if capacity is a deciding factor.”
Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Coffee and Espresso Machine by De’Longhi, Black
This standard Vertuo Pop+ is the straightforward choice for buyers who want several drink sizes and a compact body without prioritizing a large reservoir or included frother. It makes five sizes, from single and double espresso to 12-ounce coffee, and its one-touch brewing, 30-second heat-up and adjustable drip tray keep the routine simple. Compared with the Pop+ Deluxe, this model has a smaller 25.4-ounce tank, so frequent coffee drinkers should expect more refilling; the Deluxe lists 37.2 ounces and side access. In return, the Pop+ adds app connectivity, a descaling alert and a body made with 35% recycled plastic. It remains tied to Vertuo capsules, and its 120-volt specification may not suit every region. I’d skip it if a frother or fewer refills are priorities.
Pros:- Five sizes include single and double espresso and coffee up to 12 oz
- Compact design with removable side water tank and adjustable drip tray
- One-touch brewing, app connectivity and descaling alert
- Made with 35% recycled plastic
Cons:- The 25.4 fl oz tank is smaller than the Pop+ Deluxe’s listed 37.2 fl oz tank
- Requires Nespresso Vertuo capsules
- Does not include a milk frother, and 120 V may limit regional compatibility
Best for: Space-conscious Vertuo buyers who want espresso through 12-ounce coffee, app features and a removable side tank.
Not ideal for: Heavy coffee drinkers who want a larger reservoir, buyers who need a milk frother in the box, or people in regions where 120 V is incompatible.
- Capsule compatibility:Nespresso Vertuo
- Coffee sizes:Five sizes: 5, 8 and 12 oz coffee, single espresso and double espresso
- Water tank:25.4 fl oz
- Heat-up time:30 seconds
- Dimensions:14 x 8.6 x 10.4 in (D x W x H)
- Weight:7.9 lb
- Voltage:120 V
- Special features:App connectivity, auto shut-off, descaling alert and adjustable drip tray
Our verdict“Pick this Pop+ for a compact, app-connected Vertuo machine if you can live with a smaller tank and separate milk frother.”
Nespresso VertuoPlus Deluxe Coffee and Espresso Maker with Aeroccino3 Milk Frother
The VertuoPlus Deluxe suits households that make several drinks between refills. Its 60-ounce reservoir is substantially larger than the 25.4-ounce tank on the Vertuo Pop+, while barcode-based brewing and automatic capsule ejection keep preparation largely hands-off. Four listed brew sizes cover espresso through a 7.7-ounce coffee, and the included Aeroccino3 adds hot or cold milk froth. Compared with the Vertuo with Aeroccino3, this model gives up the additional unspecified brew size but offers a clearly stated 60-ounce tank. The tradeoffs are its larger footprint and Vertuo-only compatibility; barcode-led settings also limit manual control over each cup. At 15–25 seconds, its listed heat-up is quick, though the Pop+ Deluxe’s compact body may suit tighter counters better.
Pros:- 60 oz reservoir reduces refill frequency compared with the Pop+ models
- Barcode-based brewing adjusts settings for compatible capsules
- Aeroccino3 makes hot or cold milk froth
- Automatic capsule ejection and nine-minute shutoff support easy daily use
Cons:- Works only with Nespresso Vertuo capsules
- Barcode-based settings limit brew customization
- Larger dimensions and 10.1 lb weight make it less suited to tight counters
Best for: Households that make multiple Vertuo drinks daily and want fewer water refills plus an included milk frother.
Not ideal for: Small-kitchen buyers, Original-capsule users, or coffee drinkers who want manual control over brewing settings.
- Capsule compatibility:Nespresso Vertuo
- Brew sizes:1.35 oz, 2.7 oz, 5.0 oz and 7.7 oz
- Water reservoir:60 oz
- Heat-up time:15–25 seconds
- Included accessory:Aeroccino3 milk frother
- Dimensions:10.8 x 14.75 x 15.5 in
- Weight:10.1 lb
- Automatic shutoff:After 9 minutes of inactivity
Our verdict“Choose the VertuoPlus Deluxe if reservoir capacity and included milk frothing outweigh compact size and manual brew control.”
How We Picked
I ranked these machines by how well they address distinct buying priorities: drink range, espresso focus, milk-drink convenience, counter footprint, day-to-day usability, and maintenance demands. Capsule system mattered heavily because Vertuo and Original machines are not interchangeable; a machine’s cup-size range only helps if it matches the drinks a buyer actually makes.
The order favors machines with a clear advantage for a broad set of households, then options that make more sense for a narrower need such as integrated milk preparation or a compact footprint. Bundle contents and configuration also shaped the ranking, since an included frother can change the value of a setup. Models that mainly differ by finish or bundled accessories are treated as variations, not as wholly different brewing platforms.
Factors to Consider When Choosing Best Nespresso Coffee Machines
Before choosing a model, decide which capsule system and daily routine you want; those choices matter more than a finish or accessory bundle. These factors can help narrow the field before comparing individual machines.
Choose the Capsule System Before the Machine
Vertuo and Original use different capsule formats, so picking a machine also commits you to a capsule ecosystem. Vertuo is the better match if you want a range of cup sizes as well as espresso, while Original is geared toward espresso and shorter drinks. Do not assume a model from one line can brew capsules from the other. Think about what you order or make most often, not just the largest drink the machine can produce. If espresso is your daily drink, the CitiZ may fit better than a larger Vertuo model. If multiple people in the household want different cup sizes, a Vertuo machine may be more flexible.
Match Milk Preparation to Your Cleanup Tolerance
A built-in milk system can make repeated milk drinks simpler to prepare, but it adds parts and cleaning steps to the daily routine. A separate Aeroccino keeps milk preparation apart from brewing and can be a better fit for households that only make occasional lattes or cappuccinos. Bundles vary, so check exactly which frother is included rather than relying on the machine name alone. Consider how often you will rinse and clean milk-contact components, not only how convenient the first drink seems. Buyers who mostly drink black coffee may be better served by a simpler machine. If several milk drinks are made each day, integrated preparation may justify the extra upkeep.
Measure the Counter and the Clearance
Machine footprint is only part of the space question: allow room to open the head, load a capsule, and remove the water tank or spent-capsule container. Compact models such as the Pop+ can suit a crowded counter, but a smaller body may mean less convenience when handling components. Taller cabinets can also limit access even when a machine’s base fits easily. Measure the intended spot with nearby cupboards and outlets in mind. Check whether the machine can sit near a sink for filling and cleaning without blocking other prep space. A modest footprint is most useful when the machine remains easy to operate.
Think About Drink Size and Your Usual Mug
A machine’s listed drink options do not automatically make every mug or recipe convenient. Compare the cup sizes you actually drink with your regular cups, and check whether the machine’s design leaves enough clearance beneath the outlet. Large mugs may require repositioning or a different setup, so a compact machine is not always the easiest fit for a tall travel cup. Espresso drinkers should prioritize short pours and their preferred capsule system over a broad menu they may rarely use. Households with varied routines may value more drink-size choices. The best match is the one that handles your usual serving without extra steps.
Separate Real Model Differences From Finish and Bundle Changes
This lineup includes multiple Vertuo Next and Pop+ versions in different finishes, plus configurations bundled with frothers. A new color or included accessory can matter to your kitchen and routine, but it does not necessarily mean the brewing experience changes. Compare the exact machine family, included items, and milk setup before treating two listings as separate alternatives. This prevents choosing a model based on its name while missing a bundle difference. It also helps avoid paying attention to cosmetic distinctions when capsule compatibility is the bigger decision. If two variants serve the same way, prioritize the configuration that fits your counter and drink habits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the same capsules in the CitiZ and Vertuo machines?
No. The CitiZ uses the Original capsule system, while the Vertuo models use Vertuo capsules, and the formats are not interchangeable. Choose based on the drinks and capsule range you want before comparing colors or included accessories. If you already own capsules, match the new machine to that system. A switch may mean replacing your capsule stock and changing which machine options are available to you.
Is the Vertuo Lattissima a better choice than a machine with an Aeroccino?
It is a better fit if you want milk drinks prepared through an integrated system with fewer separate preparation steps. An Aeroccino setup keeps milk preparation separate and can suit buyers who make milk drinks less often or prefer a simpler brewing machine. The tradeoff is cleaning: a built-in milk path brings additional components that need care. Consider your weekly drink routine, not just the convenience of making one latte. For mostly black coffee, the integrated milk setup may add complexity without enough benefit.
Should I choose a Vertuo Pop+ or a VertuoPlus if counter space is limited?
The Pop+ is the more natural place to start when the available counter area is tight, but measure the full operating space rather than just the base. You need room to open the machine and access its removable parts. A VertuoPlus may be a better fit if you have more room and prefer its particular layout or bundle. Check cabinet clearance, tank access, and where you will place used capsules before deciding. A compact footprint is only an advantage if the machine remains easy to use in its assigned spot.
Do the Vertuo Next versions in this roundup brew differently from one another?
The listed Vertuo Next options belong to the same machine family, so finish and bundle details are key distinctions in this roundup. Some versions include an Aeroccino3, while others are presented as the machine alone. Confirm the exact contents of the configuration you are considering rather than assuming every listing includes a frother. Color can help the machine suit your kitchen, but it does not change capsule-system compatibility. Compare accessories and your milk-drink needs before choosing between these variants.
Is a milk frother worth choosing if I mostly drink coffee black?
Probably not unless you expect to make milk drinks regularly or want the option for guests. An included frother can take up storage or counter space and still needs rinsing after use. If your routine is mostly black coffee or espresso, focus first on capsule system, drink size, and machine footprint. A frother bundle makes more sense when it replaces a separate purchase you would otherwise make. Think about actual weekly use rather than treating an extra accessory as an automatic benefit.
Conclusion
For the best overall balance, I recommend the VertuoPlus Deluxe with Aeroccino because it combines varied Vertuo drink sizes with a separate frother. The best value-style fit is a Vertuo Pop+ configuration when compact size matters more than a larger machine’s layout; compare included accessories before choosing a bundle. For a premium milk-drink routine, the Vertuo Lattissima is the clearest pick, provided you are comfortable with extra milk-system care. Beginners who want a versatile machine and a straightforward separate frother should start with the VertuoPlus Deluxe, while espresso-focused buyers should choose the CitiZ and accept the Original capsule system. If counter space is the defining constraint, choose a Pop+; if you want larger Vertuo drinks, prioritize a Vertuo model and confirm that your mugs fit the serving setup.
