Looking for a machine that can make coffee and espresso shots? Nespresso Vertuo might be just the right fit. Nespresso Vertuo makes regular coffee and real espresso shots, at a touch of a button.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Nespresso Vertuo is the only capsule system on the market that can do coffee and real espresso shots. While other machines like Keurig K-Cafe have a shot option, they don\u2019t make real espresso. Instead, they make strong, concentrated brewed coffee.<\/p>\n

Nespresso delivers real espresso shots that are rich, smooth, and have a layer of crema on top.<\/p>\n

How does Nespresso Vertuo work<\/p>\n

What makes Vertuo machines unique is the Barcode Reading Technology<\/strong>. The machine automatically recognizes the inserted capsule and adjusts the brewing parameters to extract coffee at its best.<\/p>\n

Switching between coffee and espresso is effortless. Insert your favorite coffee or espresso pod, press the Brew button, and let the machine work its magic.<\/p>\n

First, the basics for all Nespresso Vertuo Models<\/p>\n

Nespresso Vertuo machines are made of plastic and have stainless steel details. They are beautifully designed and will look good in any kitchen.<\/p>\n

All models work with Vertuo capsules and use the barcode reading technology.<\/p>\n

They all have 5 basic cups sizes: 1.35 oz for espresso; 2.7 oz for a double espresso; 5 oz, 8 oz, and 14 oz for brewed coffee.<\/p>\n

You can also set the preferred volumes for capsules. <\/strong>The programming is specific for each capsule type: espresso, double espresso, Gran Lungo, Mug, and Alto. You can set the volume from 0.3 or 0.7 ounces (depending on the model) and up to 17 ounces.<\/p>\n

The water tank is removable so it\u2019s easy to fill and clean.<\/p>\n

These machines have storage for used capsules. Capsule ejection is automatic \u2013 when you unlock the lid, the capsule you used will slide into the bin.<\/p>\n

To help save energy, the auto-off feature will activate when you don\u2019t use the machine.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

NESPRESSO VERTUO PLUS $149.00 \u2013 $179.00<\/strong>Best for:<\/strong> Budget-minded coffee lovers, or if you care about getting specific color<\/p>\n

The Vertuo Plus is 8.7 inches wide and 12.8 inches tall. This model has 5 basic cup options and allows you to program volume from 0.3 ounces to 17 ounces. Vertuo Plus has an adjustable water tank position to fit countertop space. The water tank has 40 ounce capacity.<\/p>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

NESPRESSO VERTUO PLUS DELUXE $179.00<\/strong>If you need a bigger water tank, there\u2019s also a deluxe version. Nespresso Vertuo Plus Deluxe has all the same options as Vertuo Plus, but it comes with 60 ounce water tank.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

NESPRESSO VERTUO NEXT $159.00<\/strong>Best for:<\/strong> If you want most options, this is for you.<\/p>\n

Vertuo Next is the smallest model from the Vertuo Collection. Its size and the fact that you can pair it with your smartphone make this model really popular.<\/p>\n

Vertuo Next is 12.4 inches high and only 5.5 inches wide. It\u2019s made from 54% recycled plastic. The removable water tank has 37 ounces capacity. The capsule bin holds up to 10 capsules.<\/p>\n

Vertuo Next has 5 basic cup sizes, and can also do an 18 oz carafe. You can also program cup volume for each capsule from 0.7 ounces to 17 ounces. The auto-off activates after 2 minutes. Nespresso Vertuo Next retails for $159.00 ($209.00 with frother) and it\u2019s available in 4 colors. There are also premium and deluxe versions with chrome details.<\/p>\n

How well does it work?<\/p>\n

Both brewed coffee and espresso from this machine taste good. Espresso shots are smooth, rich, and have crema. It\u2019s not as good as the shot from a semi-automatic machine like Breville, but it\u2019s still very tasty and makes wonderful lattes and iced coffee.<\/p>\n

Nespresso Vertuo needs only 15 \u2013 25 seconds to heat up, so you will have your espresso shot ready in no time. Brewing coffee will take longer. It needs about 1 minute and 45 seconds to make an 8 oz cup of coffee, from start to finish.<\/p>\n

Capsule machines have a weak spot and that\u2019s durability. Since they are mostly made of plastic, these appliances are not a lifetime investment.<\/p>\n

Some units can last for years and you won\u2019t have any problems with them. But sometimes, you can get a unit that will start leaking after just a few months, or you won\u2019t be able to brew until you reset the unit, etc. That\u2019s why you can see so many 5 star and 1 star ratings at the same time for the same machine.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s absolutely the same with Keurig machines and Ninja coffee makers which use ground coffee. They simply don\u2019t invest a lot in quality and it\u2019s something I think it\u2019s worth mentioning.<\/p>\n

Of course, Nespresso Customer Service will assist you if you experience any issues with your brewer. All Nespresso Vertuo machines also include a 1-year warranty.<\/p>\n

Nespresso Vertuo Pods<\/p>\n

Nespresso Vertuo works exclusively with Vertuo capsules. The barcode on each capsule adjusts the water flow, temperature, and infusion time to make the perfect coffee every time.<\/p>\n

You can choose between 27 flavors, along with limited-edition delicious varieties when they\u2019re launched.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You will easily find a cup style and size to match your coffee preference. Each capsule offers different flavor notes and strengths.<\/p>\n

Besides classic espresso and coffee, there are also flavored capsules with fun flavors like tropical coconut iced coffee, chocolate fudge, caramel cookie, or vanilla custard pie.<\/p>\n

Vertuo capsules are more expensive than other capsule types \u2013\u00a0 $0.85 for espresso,\u00a0 and $1.10 for coffee. But, it\u2019s still cheaper than a daily trip to the coffee shop. If you strategically order them during special offers, you can bring the per-cup price down.<\/p>\n

You can buy Nespresso Vertuo capsules at Nespresso Boutique near you, online at Nespresso. com and on Amazon.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re worried about the environmental impact of your single-use coffee maker, Nespresso makes it easy to recycle the pods. All Vertuo capsules are recyclable and the company offers a free capsule recycling program.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nespresso Vertuo reusable pods:<\/strong> Nespresso doesn\u2019t make reusable Vertuo pods. There are some reusable pods available on Amazon but they don\u2019t work well as they should. There are foil lids that you can use to reuse used Vertuo pods. This option works much better.<\/p>\n

But honestly, if you want to get the most out of this machine, buy it only if you don\u2019t mind spending a buck for a cup of coffee. This machine should really be used with its own pods.<\/p>\n

Can Nespresso Vertuo use original pods:<\/strong> Vertuo pods and regular Nespresso pods are very different in shape and size. Nespresso Vertuo doesn\u2019t work with regular Nespresso Original Line pods.<\/p>\n

Maintenace and Support<\/p>\n

Vertuo coffee makers include a limited one-year warranty for normal home use. Customer service help is available 7 days a week at 877-964-6299.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s recommended to clean the external parts or the brewer regularly using a wet cloth and rinsing it once a week to keep it in a good shape. All models have a descale alert feature and will let you know when it needs to be descaled.<\/p>\n

Frequently Asked Questions<\/p>\n

Nespresso Vertuo by Breville or by DeLonghi<\/strong>Most Nespresso machines in the USA are made by Breville or by DeLonghi. The same model can have the label Nespresso, Breville, or DeLonghi, but it\u2019s basically the same machine. Manufacturers use licensed Nespresso technology and specific model will have all the same features, no matter which company made it.<\/p>\n

Only Vertuo Plus has a small difference in cosmetics. Vertuo Plus by DeLonghi has a flat head compared to Vertuo Plus by Breville. But all features are the same.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, it comes down to which brand you like more Breville or DeLonghi.<\/p>\n

Nespresso Vertuo vs Original<\/strong>Nespresso Original line machine is for espresso lovers who want to keep things simple. Original Nespresso machines make only espresso shots.<\/p>\n

Original Line includes 29 espresso capsules, each with different aroma and flavor notes. The capsules are cheaper than Vertuo capsules \u2013 $0.70 for regular espresso capsules, and $0.75 for barista style capsules.<\/p>\n

The main advantage of Nespresso Vertuo is the fact that it can make espresso and brewed coffee. It\u2019s a good choice for those who want an all-in-one solution.<\/p>\n

Nespresso Vertuo vs K Cafe<\/strong>The main difference between Nespresso Vertuo and Keurig K Cafe is the fact that Vertuo makes real espresso. K Cafe also has the shot option, but this option makes very strong concentrated coffee not espresso. This is because Keurig doesn\u2019t use pressure to extract the coffee like Nespresso.<\/p>\n

Also, the Aeroccino frother makes better froth than K Cafe. Generally, Nespresso makes better tasting drinks with rich aroma and flavor notes.<\/p>\n

K Cafe offers three cup sizes and has a Shot button, while with Vertuoline you can brew anywhere from 0.7 ounces to 17 ounces.<\/p>\n

And, let\u2019s not forget the fact that you can recycle Nespresso pods. Keurig K cups are made from plastic, and most of the pods are not recyclable.<\/p>\n

But, Keurig is cheaper to use. Nespresso Vertuo coffee capsule costs $1.10, and one k cup costs between $0.40 \u2013 $0.70.<\/p>\n

You can also easily use your own coffee in Keurig K-Cafe since it works with a reusable k cup filter.<\/p>\n

Can you use regular Nespresso pods in Vertuo<\/strong>No. The Vertuo system works only with Vertuo capsules, and it\u2019s not compatible with regular Nespresso pods.<\/p>\n

Nespresso Vertuo reusable pods:<\/strong>Nespresso doesn\u2019t make reusable Vertuo pods. There are some reusable pods available on Amazon but they don\u2019t work as they should. There are foil lids that you can use to reuse used Vertuo pods. This option works much better.<\/p>\n

Can Nespresso Vertuo make hot water<\/strong>Unfortunately, Nespresso Vertuo machines don\u2019t have an option to only dispense hot water.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/p>\n

Nespresso Vertuoline is so easy to use and gives so many options. With this machine, you can make anything from a single espresso shot, 14 ounce cup of coffee, to flavored iced cafe-style drinks.<\/p>\n

The capsules are not cheap. But if you would rather enjoy one delicious cup with crema, than two or three mediocre cups, you will like the Vertuo machine. This machine will really transform you into a super talented barista.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
