The best Nespresso coffee machines balance the drinks you want with the space, milk preparation, and capsule system you can live with. My best overall pick is the VertuoPlus Deluxe with Aeroccino, which pairs a broad Vertuo drink range with a separate frother. The Vertuo Lattissima stands out for one-touch milk drinks, while the CitiZ with Aeroccino3 suits espresso-focused households that prefer the Original capsule system. The main tradeoffs are Vertuo’s larger coffee formats versus Original’s espresso focus, and integrated milk convenience versus a simpler, separate frother. Read on for the full breakdown and help matching a machine to your daily routine.

Key Takeaways
- VertuoPlus Deluxe with Aeroccino is the strongest all-round choice here: it offers Vertuo’s range of cup sizes and a separate frother without tying milk preparation to the machine.
- Vertuo Lattissima is the clearest pick for frequent milk drinks, but its integrated milk system adds cleaning steps compared with an Aeroccino.
- CitiZ with Aeroccino3 is the only Original-system option in this lineup, making it the natural fit for espresso and lungo drinkers rather than large-mug coffee drinkers.
- The three Vertuo Pop+ variants make the most sense for buyers who value a compact machine; choosing a bundle with a frother matters more than the color or maker label.
- Several listings are near-duplicates, especially the VertuoPlus Deluxe and Vertuo Next variants, so compare included accessories and configuration rather than assuming the name alone signals a different brewing experience.

More Details on Our Top Picks
Nespresso Vertuo Lattissima Coffee and Espresso Maker by De’Longhi, White
The Vertuo Lattissima is the clearest choice here for buyers who want cappuccinos and lattes without a separate frother. Its built-in milk system and one-button operation simplify those drinks compared with the CitiZ, which relies on a separate Aeroccino3. It also brews six sizes, including 18-ounce coffee, so it handles a broader range of cup preferences than the four-size VertuoPlus Deluxe. The tradeoff is a more involved milk setup: its 16-ounce tank needs refilling and cleaning, even though it is dishwasher-safe. Like the other Vertuo machines in this lineup, it accepts Vertuo capsules only, not Original pods. I’d choose it for convenient milk recipes, but not if you mainly drink straight espresso or want the simplest machine to maintain.
Pros:- Built-in milk system makes cappuccinos and lattes with one-button operation
- Brews six sizes, including 18-ounce coffee and single or double espresso
- Detachable 16-ounce milk tank is dishwasher-safe
- Heats up in 30 seconds
Cons:- Works only with Nespresso Vertuo capsules
- Milk tank needs regular refilling and cleaning
- Larger and heavier than the CitiZ
Best for: Households that regularly make cappuccinos or lattes and want an integrated milk system with multiple coffee sizes
Not ideal for: Espresso-only drinkers, buyers who use Original capsules, or anyone who wants to avoid cleaning and refilling a milk tank
- Model:ENV300W
- Brew sizes:5, 8, 12, and 18 fl oz coffee; single and double espresso
- Milk tank capacity:16 fl oz
- Heat-up time:30 seconds
- Capsule compatibility:Nespresso Vertuo
- Dimensions:16 x 7.5 x 12.4 in
- Weight:14 lbs
- Warranty:2 years
Our verdict“Choose the Vertuo Lattissima if you want one-touch milk drinks and several cup sizes; skip it if a separate frother or espresso-only setup suits you better.”
Nespresso Vertuo Coffee and Espresso Machine by De’Longhi, Piano Black
This Vertuo machine earns its place as a straightforward everyday pick: it brews four core sizes, heats up in 15–20 seconds, and holds up to 17 used capsules before emptying. Barcode-reading brewing adjusts settings for each compatible capsule, reducing guesswork when switching between espresso and larger coffee. Compared with the VertuoPlus Deluxe, it has a smaller 54-ounce reservoir and no included Aeroccino3, but its simpler machine-only setup suits buyers who do not need milk froth. The Vertuo Lattissima offers more sizes and automatic milk drinks, though its milk system adds upkeep this model avoids. Capsule choice is limited to Vertuo, and anyone wanting lattes will need to add a separate frother.
Pros:- Brews espresso, double espresso, gran lungo, and coffee
- Barcode reading adjusts brewing settings for compatible capsules
- Fast 15–20 second heat-up
- Used-capsule container holds up to 17 capsules
Cons:- Accepts Nespresso Vertuo capsules only
- No milk frother is included
- Smaller 54-ounce reservoir than the VertuoPlus Deluxe
Best for: Daily coffee drinkers who want quick, automatic brewing in several sizes and do not need an included milk frother
Not ideal for: Buyers who want cappuccinos or lattes straight from the box, or who need Original capsule compatibility
- Model:ENV135B
- Cup sizes:1.35, 2.7, 5, and 7.7 oz
- Water reservoir:54 oz
- Used-capsule capacity:Up to 17 capsules
- Heat-up time:15–20 seconds
- Capsule compatibility:Nespresso Vertuo
- Dimensions:8.97 in D x 12.22 in W x 12.33 in H
- Weight:11 lbs
Our verdict“Pick this machine for quick, no-fuss Vertuo brewing across four sizes, but choose a frother-equipped model if milk drinks are part of your routine.”
Nespresso CitiZ Coffee and Espresso Machine with Aeroccino3 Milk Frother
The CitiZ is the lineup’s distinct pick for buyers who prefer Nespresso Original capsules and mostly make espresso or lungo. Its 19-bar pressure system is paired with an included Aeroccino3, so hot or cold milk foam is available without the integrated tank and cleaning routine of the Vertuo Lattissima. That simpler division—machine for coffee, separate frother for milk—also makes it a better fit for people who want control over when they prepare milk drinks. The tradeoff is a narrower menu: unlike the VertuoPlus Deluxe or Vertuo Lattissima, it does not brew larger mug-size coffees. Its listed dimensions also make it worth checking counter space before buying; despite its compact positioning, it is not the smallest footprint in this group.
Pros:- Uses Nespresso Original capsules for espresso and lungo
- Includes Aeroccino3 for hot or cold milk froth
- Fully automatic operation with programmable settings
- Frother shuts off automatically when finished
Cons:- Does not brew the larger coffee sizes offered by Vertuo models
- Requires Nespresso Original capsules rather than Vertuo capsules
- Listed dimensions may take more counter space than its compact positioning suggests
Best for: Espresso and lungo drinkers who want Original-capsule compatibility plus a separate frother for occasional milk drinks
Not ideal for: People who regularly want large cups of coffee or prefer the Vertuo capsule range and barcode-based brewing
- Capsule compatibility:Nespresso Original
- Beverages:Espresso and lungo
- Pressure:19 bars
- Milk frother:Aeroccino3
- Operation:Fully automatic
- Dimensions:11.3 x 14.6 x 12.44 in (D x W x H)
- Weight:8.7 lbs
- Voltage:110 volts
Our verdict“Choose the CitiZ if espresso from Original capsules is your priority and a separate frother is enough; look elsewhere for full-size coffee options.”
Nespresso VertuoPlus Deluxe Coffee and Espresso Machine with Aeroccino Milk Frother
The VertuoPlus Deluxe balances everyday Vertuo brewing with an included Aeroccino3, making it a practical middle ground between the machine-only Vertuo and the milk-system-heavy Vertuo Lattissima. Its 60-ounce reservoir is the largest stated here, so frequent coffee makers can refill less often than with the Vertuo Up’s 47-ounce tank. Barcode reading sets brewing parameters for four sizes, while the separate frother handles hot or cold foam without a built-in milk tank. That flexibility comes with limits: it brews up to 7.7 ounces, while the Vertuo Lattissima and Vertuo Up reach 18 ounces. It also uses Vertuo capsules only, and its wide 16.7-inch listed dimension may be awkward on narrow counters.
Pros:- 60-ounce reservoir reduces refill frequency
- Includes Aeroccino3 for hot or cold milk foam
- Barcode reading sets brewing parameters automatically
- Heats up in 15–20 seconds
Cons:- Largest listed coffee size is 7.7 ounces
- Uses Nespresso Vertuo capsules only
- Listed width of 16.7 inches may not suit narrow counters
Best for: Frequent Vertuo drinkers who want a generous water reservoir and an included frother for occasional milk drinks
Not ideal for: People who need 12- or 18-ounce coffee servings, want Original capsules, or have limited counter width
- Model:VertuoPlus Deluxe ENV155BAE
- Brew sizes:1.35, 2.7, 5.0, and 7.7 oz
- Water reservoir:60 oz
- Capsule compatibility:Nespresso Vertuo
- Included frother:Aeroccino3
- Heat-up time:15–20 seconds
- Dimensions:5.6 in D x 16.7 in W x 12.8 in H
- Weight:10.3 lbs
Our verdict“Choose the VertuoPlus Deluxe for a large reservoir and separate milk frother, but favor the Lattissima or Vertuo Up if you want larger coffee servings.”
Nespresso Vertuo Up Coffee and Espresso Maker by De’Longhi, White
The Vertuo Up is the lineup’s most tailored choice for speed and iced-coffee experimentation. Its three-second start gets brewing underway faster than the 15–20-second VertuoPlus Deluxe, and Coffee Creations mode makes a more concentrated base suited to iced drinks. Six sizes, including 18-ounce coffee, also give it a broader cup range than the four-size Vertuo Coffee and VertuoPlus Deluxe. App-based cup-size and temperature customization adds flexibility, though buyers who want milk drinks built into the machine should look at the Vertuo Lattissima instead. The Up has a 47-ounce movable tank, smaller than the VertuoPlus Deluxe’s 60-ounce reservoir, and it remains tied to Vertuo capsules. Its one-year warranty is shorter than the Lattissima’s two years.
Pros:- Three-second start time
- Coffee Creations mode makes concentrated coffee for iced drinks
- Brews six sizes, including 18-ounce coffee
- Movable water tank and app-based size and temperature customization
Cons:- 47-ounce reservoir is smaller than the VertuoPlus Deluxe’s 60-ounce tank
- Compatible with Nespresso Vertuo capsules only
- No built-in milk system or included frother is listed
- One-year manufacturer warranty is shorter than the Vertuo Lattissima’s
Best for: Iced-coffee drinkers and busy households who value a near-immediate start, larger coffee sizes, and app customization
Not ideal for: Buyers who want an integrated milk system, a larger reservoir, or compatibility with Original capsules
- Model:ENV200W
- Brew sizes:5, 8, 12, and 18 oz coffee; single and double espresso
- Start time:3 seconds
- Water tank:47 fl oz
- Capsule compatibility:Nespresso Vertuo
- Dimensions:15.4 x 8.7 x 10.1 in
- Weight:9 lbs
- Warranty:1 year manufacturer
Our verdict“Pick the Vertuo Up for fast starts, iced-coffee mode, and large servings; choose the Lattissima instead if one-touch milk drinks matter more.”
Nespresso VertuoPlus Deluxe Coffee and Espresso Maker with Aeroccino3 Milk Frother
The VertuoPlus Deluxe is the strongest fit here for buyers who want a larger reservoir and milk drinks without adding a separate frother. Its 60 oz water tank holds substantially more than the 37 oz tank on the Vertuo Next models and the 25 oz tank on the Vertuo Pop+, so it can mean fewer trips to the sink. The included Aeroccino3 also handles hot or cold milk foam, while barcode-based brewing keeps the four listed cup sizes simple to select. The tradeoff is less flexibility: brew settings are tied to Vertuo capsules, unlike a machine that lets you freely adjust extraction. Its wider footprint and plastic construction also make it less suited to tight, design-focused counters. I’d choose it over the Vertuo Next when reservoir capacity and an included frother matter more than a slimmer profile.
Pros:- Large 60 oz reservoir reduces how often it needs refilling
- Aeroccino3 froths milk hot or cold for cappuccinos and iced drinks
- Brews four listed sizes, from 1.35 oz espresso to 7.7 oz coffee
- Barcode recognition automatically sets brewing for compatible capsules
Cons:- Uses Nespresso Vertuo capsules only
- Capsule-led brew profiles offer limited manual customization
- Its 10.8 × 14.75 × 15.5-inch footprint is less compact than the Vertuo Next
Best for: Households that make several coffee or espresso drinks a day and want a generous reservoir plus hot- and cold-milk frothing.
Not ideal for: Buyers with narrow counter space or those who want to customize brew strength and settings beyond the capsule’s programmed profile.
- Capsule system:Nespresso Vertuo
- Brew sizes:1.35 oz, 2.7 oz, 5.0 oz, and 7.7 oz
- Water reservoir:60 oz
- Operation:Fully automatic
- Heat-up time:15–25 seconds
- Automatic shutoff:After 9 minutes of inactivity
- Dimensions:10.8 × 14.75 × 15.5 inches
- Included accessory:Aeroccino3 milk frother
Our verdict“Choose the VertuoPlus Deluxe if a large reservoir and included milk frother matter more than a slim machine or hands-on brew control.”
Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee and Espresso Maker by Breville, Navy Blue
The Breville Vertuo Next suits buyers who want a narrow machine but still drink larger mugs: its listed coffee sizes extend to 18 oz, beyond the VertuoPlus Deluxe’s 7.7 oz maximum. At just 5.5 inches wide, it leaves more side-to-side counter space than that model, though its 16.9-inch depth means it still needs room front to back. Capsule recognition adjusts brewing automatically, making its range of cup sizes easy to use without manual settings. The tradeoff is a smaller 1.1-liter tank than the VertuoPlus Deluxe’s 60 oz reservoir, and this version does not include a milk frother like the cream-colored Vertuo Next bundle. I’d pick this one for black coffee drinkers who value a slim footprint and large servings over an all-in-one milk setup.
Pros:- Narrow 5.5-inch width helps preserve counter space
- Brews coffee in sizes up to 18 oz, plus single and double espresso
- Automatically adjusts brewing to each Vertuo capsule
- Partially recycled materials are used in its construction
Cons:- Works only with Nespresso Vertuo capsules
- The 1.1-liter tank is smaller than the VertuoPlus Deluxe reservoir
- No milk frother is included, unlike the creamy-white Vertuo Next bundle
Best for: Coffee drinkers with limited counter width who want the option of an 18 oz serving as well as espresso.
Not ideal for: Buyers who regularly prepare milk-based drinks or want fewer refills than the smaller tank allows.
- Brand and model:Breville Nespresso Vertuo Next
- Color:Navy blue
- Capsule system:Nespresso Vertuo
- Brew sizes:5, 8, 12, and 18 oz coffee; single and double espresso
- Water capacity:1.1 liters
- Wattage:1500 watts
- Dimensions:16.9 × 5.5 × 12.4 inches
- Weight:4.3 kg
Our verdict“Pick this Vertuo Next for a slim machine and large coffee servings, but choose the Aeroccino-equipped bundle if milk drinks are part of your routine.”
Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee Machine with Aeroccino3 Milk Frother, Creamy White
This Vertuo Next bundle pairs the same narrow 5.5-inch machine format as the navy Breville model with an Aeroccino3, making it the more complete choice for buyers who want milk drinks without giving up counter width. The listed range includes coffee up to 18 oz and both single and double espresso, a broader large-cup option than the VertuoPlus Deluxe’s maximum listed 7.7 oz. Its 37 oz tank, however, is much smaller than the Deluxe’s 60 oz, so frequent coffee drinkers may refill more often. The machine is also primarily plastic, and its capsule system limits choices to Vertuo pods. Compared with the navy Vertuo Next, this package adds the frother but carries less appeal for buyers who only drink black coffee and would rather keep the setup simple.
Pros:- Slim 5.5-inch width saves counter space
- Includes Aeroccino3 for hot or cold milk foam
- Offers coffee sizes up to 18 oz plus single and double espresso
- Includes a Vertuo pod starter set
Cons:- 37 oz tank requires more frequent refilling than the VertuoPlus Deluxe’s 60 oz tank
- Compatible only with Nespresso Vertuo capsules
- Primarily plastic construction may not suit buyers seeking a more substantial material
Best for: Small-kitchen households that want large coffee servings and espresso, along with an included frother for occasional milk drinks.
Not ideal for: High-volume coffee drinkers who want a large reservoir, or buyers who do not need a frother and prefer a simpler machine bundle.
- Brand and model:Nespresso Vertuo Next, BNV570CRM1BUC1
- Color:Creamy white
- Capsule system:Nespresso Vertuo
- Brew sizes:5, 8, 12, and 18 oz coffee; single and double espresso
- Water tank:37 fl oz
- Dimensions:16.9 × 5.5 × 12.4 inches
- Weight:8.8 lb
- Included components:Aeroccino3 milk frother and Vertuo pod starter set
Our verdict“Choose this bundle if you want the narrow Vertuo Next format with a frother, and accept a smaller tank than the VertuoPlus Deluxe.”
Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee and Espresso Maker by De’Longhi, Black
The De’Longhi Vertuo Next in black is a straightforward option for buyers who want the narrow Next platform without paying for—or storing—a separate milk frother. It makes coffee in sizes up to 18 oz, along with single and double espresso, while capsule-reading Centrifusion adjusts the brew automatically. That larger-cup range gives it an advantage over the VertuoPlus Deluxe for mug-sized coffee, but the Deluxe is better equipped for households that want a larger reservoir and included Aeroccino. This Next has a 37 oz removable tank and a removable drip tray, which helps with cleaning and cup clearance, but frequent users may find the capacity limiting. Vertuo-only compatibility also narrows capsule choice. I’d favor it over the frother bundle for black-coffee routines where the simpler configuration is the point.
Pros:- Brews coffee up to 18 oz as well as single and double espresso
- Narrow 5.5-inch width fits tighter counter layouts
- Centrifusion reads each capsule and adjusts brewing automatically
- Removable water tank and drip tray simplify filling and cleaning
Cons:- Uses Nespresso Vertuo pods exclusively
- 37 fl oz tank is smaller than the VertuoPlus Deluxe’s 60 oz reservoir
- No milk frother is included, unlike the creamy-white Vertuo Next bundle
Best for: Black coffee and espresso drinkers who want a slim, removable-tank machine and do not need milk frothing.
Not ideal for: Buyers who make milk-based drinks often or want a larger water capacity for several back-to-back servings.
- Brand:De’Longhi
- Capsule system:Nespresso Vertuo
- Brew sizes:5, 8, 12, and 18 oz coffee; single and double espresso
- Water tank:37 fl oz
- Wattage:1500 W
- Technology:Centrifusion
- Dimensions:16.9 × 5.5 × 12.4 inches
- Features:Auto shutoff; removable drip tray and water tank
Our verdict“Choose this model for a slim, no-frother setup and large cups; pick the VertuoPlus Deluxe if reservoir capacity and milk drinks matter more.”
Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Coffee and Espresso Maker by Breville, Coconut White
The Vertuo Pop+ is the most compact, quick-start choice in this group for buyers who make smaller servings or want coffee over ice. It offers five brew sizes, including iced options, and heats in about 30 seconds; its adjustable drip tray can also accommodate different cup heights. The 25 fl oz side-mounted tank is removable and accessible, but it holds far less than the 37 oz tanks on the Vertuo Next models and the 60 oz VertuoPlus Deluxe reservoir. That makes this a better fit for a one- or two-person routine than repeated brewing for a household. Compared with the Vertuo Next, the Pop+ is less suited to 18 oz servings, but its stated brew range reaches 12 oz and it adds an iced-drink focus. It remains limited to Vertuo capsules.
Pros:- Five brew sizes include options for coffee over ice
- 30-second heat-up and one-touch operation support quick brewing
- Removable side-mounted tank is easy to access
- Machine contains 35% recycled plastic
Cons:- 25 fl oz tank needs more frequent refilling than the Vertuo Next or VertuoPlus Deluxe
- Compatible only with Nespresso Vertuo pods
- Coffee sizes top out at 12 oz, below the Vertuo Next’s 18 oz option
Best for: One- or two-person households with limited counter space who want quick single servings, including coffee served over ice.
Not ideal for: Families or frequent coffee drinkers who need larger servings, an 18 oz brew option, or a tank that needs fewer refills.
- Brand and model:Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ by Breville
- Color:Coconut white
- Capsule system:Nespresso Vertuo
- Brew sizes:5 sizes, including 5, 8, and 12 oz coffee; single and double espresso
- Water tank:25 fl oz (0.75 liters)
- Heat-up time:30 seconds
- Dimensions:14 × 8.6 × 10.4 inches
- Recycled plastic content:35%
Our verdict“Choose the Vertuo Pop+ for a compact, quick machine with iced-drink options, but look to a Vertuo Next for larger mugs or a larger tank.”
Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Coffee and Espresso Machine by De’Longhi, Black
The Vertuo Pop+ makes the most sense when counter space and simple operation matter more than a large water reservoir. It brews five sizes, from espresso to 12-ounce coffee, and its 30-second heat-up and one-touch controls keep the morning routine short. The removable side tank helps the machine fit into tighter spaces, while app connectivity adds a layer of control absent from the Vertuo Next.
The tradeoff is capacity: its 25.4-ounce tank needs refilling more often than the larger reservoir on the Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe listed here. It also works only with Vertuo capsules, so it is not a fit for buyers who want standard ground coffee or broader capsule choice. I’d pick this version over the frother bundle when compact, straightforward brewing matters more than milk drinks.
Pros:- Brews five sizes, including single and double espresso and coffee up to 12 ounces
- Compact footprint with a removable side water tank
- Heats in 30 seconds and uses one-touch operation
- App connectivity, auto shut-off, and descaling alert
Cons:- The 25.4-ounce tank may require frequent refills with multiple daily drinks
- Accepts Nespresso Vertuo capsules only
- 120-volt specification may not suit electrical systems in some regions
Best for: Apartment dwellers or solo coffee drinkers who want espresso and regular coffee from a compact, one-touch Vertuo machine.
Not ideal for: Households making several drinks back-to-back, or buyers who want included milk frothing or capsule-system flexibility.
- Coffee sizes:5 sizes: 5, 8, and 12 oz coffee; single and double espresso
- Water tank capacity:25.4 fl oz
- Heat-up time:30 seconds
- Dimensions:14 × 8.6 × 10.4 in (D × W × H)
- Weight:7.9 lb
- Operation:Fully automatic, one-touch
- Capsule system:Nespresso Vertuo
- Features:App-controlled, auto shut-off, descaling alert, adjustable drip tray
Our verdict“Choose this Pop+ if you want a compact, connected Vertuo machine and do not need a larger tank or bundled frother.”
Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe Coffee Machine with Aeroccino3 Milk Frother, Matte Black Gold
This Pop+ Deluxe is the clearest choice in this group for someone who wants milk drinks without piecing together separate equipment. Its Aeroccino3 frother handles hot or cold milk foam, while the machine offers espresso through 18-ounce coffee sizes with one-touch brewing. That larger listed coffee option gives it more range than the standard Vertuo Pop+, and the included starter capsules make it easier to get going.
The compact body still has a 25-ounce water tank, so frequent brewing means regular refills; the larger Vertuo model with Aeroccino has a 40-ounce reservoir. This bundle also remains locked to Vertuo capsules. I’d choose it for easy cappuccino-style drinks in a small kitchen, but skip it if you mainly drink black coffee or want fewer parts to clean.
Pros:- Aeroccino3 makes hot or cold milk foam for a wider range of drinks
- Offers coffee sizes up to 18 ounces plus single and double espresso

- Vertuo capsules are the only compatible capsule type
- The frother adds another component to store and clean
Best for: New capsule-machine owners who want espresso, larger coffees, and hot or cold milk foam in a compact setup.
Not ideal for: Black-coffee drinkers who will rarely use a frother, or busy households that would benefit from a larger water reservoir.

- Heat-up time:30 seconds
- Dimensions:14 × 8.6 × 10.4 in

Our verdict“Pick this bundle if you want an easy path to milk-based drinks and can live with a relatively small reservoir.”
Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe Coffee and Espresso Maker by De’Longhi, Black
This Pop+ Deluxe stands out from the standard Vertuo Pop+ for one practical reason: its listed 37.2-ounce tank is substantially larger than the standard model’s 25.4-ounce capacity. That can reduce refill interruptions for people who make several drinks a day, while the compact footprint, one-touch brewing, and automatic capsule ejection preserve the Pop+ line’s easy routine. Capsule recognition tailors brewing to the Vertuo pod, and automatic updates provide a connected feature the basic Pop+ also offers through app connectivity.
Unlike the Pop+ Deluxe with Aeroccino3, this version does not include a milk frother, so milk-drink fans need separate equipment. Its capsule choice is limited to Vertuo, and the specs call operation semi-automatic despite the one-touch description. I’d favor it for frequent black-coffee brewing in a small space, not for buyers seeking an all-in-one latte setup.
Pros:- 37.2-ounce tank holds more than the standard Vertuo Pop+ tank
- Brews five sizes, from espresso to larger coffee servings
- Automatic capsule ejection simplifies used-pod handling
- Compact body uses 35% recycled plastic in its finish
Cons:- No milk frother is included
- Compatible only with Nespresso Vertuo capsules
- Listed as semi-automatic, which conflicts with the one-touch description
Best for: People who make multiple daily coffees and want a compact Pop+ machine with more reservoir capacity than the standard version.
Not ideal for: Buyers who want an included milk frother, or those seeking capsules beyond the Nespresso Vertuo system.
- Brew sizes:Five sizes, from espresso to Alto
- Water tank capacity:37.2 fl oz
- Dimensions:8.6 × 14 × 10.4 in
- Weight:7.9 lb
- Wattage:1500 W
- Voltage:120 V
- Operation mode:Listed as semi-automatic
- Capsule system:Nespresso Vertuo
- Included components:Welcome pack of Vertuo capsules
Our verdict“Choose this Pop+ Deluxe over the standard Pop+ if you want a larger tank without adding a bundled frother.”
Nespresso Vertuo Coffee and Espresso Maker with Aeroccino Milk Frother, Chrome
The original Vertuo with Aeroccino3 is a better fit than the Pop+ models for households that value fewer water refills and want milk frothing included. Its 40-ounce reservoir leads the listed Pop+ options, and the Aeroccino3 makes hot or cold foam without requiring a separate purchase. Barcode-guided brewing adjusts the process to each Vertuo capsule, while automatic capsule ejection keeps used pods out of the brew area.
Its size menu is more limited on paper than the Vertuo Next, which lists coffee servings up to 18 ounces; this model’s listed options run from 1.35 to 7.7 ounces. It also uses Vertuo capsules only, like the Pop+ machines, and the chrome finish may not suit every kitchen. I’d select it for espresso, smaller coffees, and milk drinks rather than oversized mugs.
Pros:- 40-ounce reservoir reduces refill frequency compared with the Pop+ models listed
- Aeroccino3 froths hot or cold milk
- Barcode-guided brewing adjusts to Vertuo capsules
- Automatic capsule ejection and energy-saving shutoff
Cons:- Listed brew sizes stop at 7.7 ounces, below the 18-ounce option listed for Vertuo Next
- Uses Nespresso Vertuo capsules only
- Larger reservoir and included frother make it less suited to buyers seeking a minimal setup
Best for: Couples or small households who want a larger reservoir and included milk frothing for espresso and modest coffee servings.
Not ideal for: People who regularly brew large mugs, want a compact Pop+-style footprint, or need capsule compatibility beyond Vertuo.
- Brew sizes:1.35, 2.7, 5.0, and 7.7 oz
- Water reservoir capacity:40 oz
- Operation:Fully automatic
- Capsule system:Nespresso Vertuo
- Wattage:1350 W
- Voltage:120 V
- Dimensions:11.91 × 11.93 × 8.32 in
- Included components:Espresso maker and Aeroccino3 milk frother
Our verdict“Choose this Vertuo if a larger tank and included frother matter more than brewing the largest coffee servings.”
Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee and Espresso Maker by De’Longhi, Creamy White and Gold
The Vertuo Next earns its place for buyers who want more size options than the Pop+ machines list, including 18-ounce coffee alongside single and double espresso. Its capsule recognition adjusts brewing to the pod, so a larger serving does not require manual settings. At just 5.5 inches wide, it also takes up less counter width than the listed dimensions of the Pop+ models, making it appealing where lateral space is limited.
The narrow profile comes with a longer 16.9-inch depth, so check the counter layout rather than judging fit by width alone. Its 37-ounce tank is larger than the standard Pop+ tank but smaller than the 40-ounce Vertuo with Aeroccino3. This listing does not clearly include a milk frother, unlike that bundle, and the machine accepts Vertuo capsules only. I’d pick it for large coffees and narrow counters, not for built-in milk-drink convenience.
Pros:- Offers coffee sizes up to 18 ounces plus single and double espresso
- 5.5-inch width suits narrow counter spaces
- Recognizes Vertuo capsules and adjusts brewing automatically
- Includes a starter capsule set
Cons:- The 16.9-inch depth can be difficult to fit on shallow counters
- No milk frother is clearly listed as included
- Compatible only with Nespresso Vertuo capsules
Best for: Coffee drinkers who want servings up to 18 ounces and have limited counter width but enough depth for a narrow machine.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need a shallow machine, want an included milk frother, or prefer using ground coffee or other capsule systems.
- Coffee sizes:5, 8, 12, and 18 oz
- Espresso options:Single and double
- Water capacity:37 fl oz
- Dimensions:16.9 × 5.5 × 12.4 in
- Weight:8.8 lb
- Power:1260 W
- Operation:Fully automatic
- Capsule system:Nespresso Vertuo
- Included components:Coffee maker and starter capsule set
Our verdict“Choose the Vertuo Next if large coffee servings and a narrow footprint matter more than shallow depth or included milk frothing.”
How We Picked
I ranked these machines around the decisions that affect everyday use: capsule system and drink formats, ease of operation, milk-drink workflow, counter footprint, and maintenance demands. I gave more weight to options that fit a wider range of routines without adding unnecessary steps, while recognizing that an espresso specialist can be a better match than a more versatile machine for the right household.
The ranking also separates machines that share a platform but differ in bundle or design. A frother can add useful flexibility, but it does not change the brewing system; integrated milk preparation can save steps yet asks for more attention after use. Since several entries are closely related versions, I treat their core brewing capabilities as similar and distinguish them by the practical buyer benefit of their included accessories and format.
Factors to Consider When Choosing Best Nespresso Coffee Machines
Before choosing a model, decide how you actually drink coffee and what kind of daily routine you want. A machine that makes more drink styles is not automatically the better fit if you mainly brew espresso or dislike cleaning milk equipment. These factors help separate genuine convenience from features that may go unused.
Choose the capsule system around your usual cup
The biggest choice is between Vertuo and Original, not between the finishes on machines using the same system. Vertuo is the better match if you regularly want larger cups as well as espresso-sized drinks, while Original is centered on espresso and lungo formats. Think about the cup you reach for on ordinary mornings, not the occasional recipe you might make. A common mistake is choosing by machine appearance and only later discovering that the system does not fit the preferred drink size. Capsule availability and the range of compatible options can also affect convenience, so check what you can readily buy where you live. In this lineup, the CitiZ is the Original choice; the other machines use Vertuo capsules.
Decide how much milk preparation you want
Milk convenience comes in two broad forms here: a separate Aeroccino frother or the Vertuo Lattissima’s integrated milk setup. A separate frother keeps coffee brewing and milk preparation apart, which can suit households that only make milk drinks occasionally. An integrated system may reduce hands-on steps for frequent cappuccinos and lattes, but milk-contact parts need prompt, regular cleaning. If you mostly drink black coffee, paying attention to a milk bundle can mean storing equipment you rarely use. Before buying, consider where the frother will sit and whether you want to rinse milk components after each session. Convenience depends as much on cleanup habits as on the number of buttons.
Match machine size to your counter and cabinet space
Measure the space where the machine will live, including room to open the lid, remove the water tank, and place a mug under the outlet. Compact options such as the Vertuo Pop+ can suit tighter counters, but a smaller body may mean more frequent attention to water or used capsules depending on household use. Larger machines and bundles can take up more room once a separate frother is included. Check the machine’s height against cabinets rather than relying on a front-view product photo. Also think about whether you will leave the machine out or put it away between uses. A machine that fits only when everything is moved around can make a quick coffee routine feel less convenient.
Treat near-duplicate names as bundle comparisons
This roundup includes multiple versions of the VertuoPlus Deluxe, Vertuo Next, and Vertuo Pop+, including listings from different makers and packages with or without a frother. Similar names do not automatically mean a meaningful difference in the coffee they brew. Compare the exact included accessories, finish, and stated configuration before choosing between listings. Do not pay extra attention to a color or bundle if it does not solve a need you have. A frother is useful only if milk drinks are part of your routine, while a matching finish may matter if the machine stays on display. This approach helps prevent buying a duplicate setup when the core machine already suits you.
Budget for ongoing capsule and cleaning habits
The machine is only one part of the routine: capsules are recurring supplies, and milk systems add another cleaning task. Before settling on a model, check which capsules it accepts and whether the drink sizes you want are available in that system. If you make several cups each day, used-capsule storage and how often you want to empty it may matter more than a decorative feature. Regular descaling and basic cleaning help keep a machine ready for use, so favor a setup you will maintain consistently. Buyers sometimes focus on the initial bundle and overlook the recurring effort of restocking capsules or rinsing milk parts. A simpler machine can be the better long-term fit when ease of upkeep matters more than added drink options.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose Vertuo or Original if I drink both espresso and regular coffee?
Choose based on which drink you make most often. Vertuo is the broader fit in this lineup if you want larger coffee servings alongside espresso-sized drinks, while the Original CitiZ is better suited to espresso and lungo routines. If you drink a large mug every morning and espresso only now and then, Vertuo is the more natural match. If espresso is your daily preference and large coffees are rare, the CitiZ may suit you better. Neither system makes the other machine’s capsules interchangeable, so that choice also shapes the capsules you will need to buy.
Is the Vertuo Lattissima a better choice than a machine with an Aeroccino?
It depends on whether you value fewer preparation steps or simpler separate components. The Vertuo Lattissima is aimed at people who make milk drinks often and want milk preparation built into the machine workflow. A model paired with an Aeroccino keeps frothing separate, which can be more flexible if some people in the household drink black coffee or only make lattes occasionally. Integrated milk equipment also means regular cleaning of milk-contact parts, while a separate frother still needs rinsing and storage. Pick the setup that matches how often you make milk drinks and how much cleanup you are willing to do.
Are different Vertuo Next listings different machines or just different bundles?
The Vertuo Next entries in this roundup share the same broad machine family, while the listing details vary by maker, finish, and whether an Aeroccino3 frother is included. Those differences can change what arrives in the box, but they do not by themselves indicate a different capsule system. Read the full listing to confirm the included accessories and configuration before ordering. If you already own a compatible frother, a machine-only package may avoid duplicating equipment. If you do not, a bundle can make milk drinks possible without a separate search for accessories.
Which type of Nespresso machine is least demanding for someone new to capsule coffee?
A straightforward machine with the drink formats you actually use is usually the easiest start; extra features can add more upkeep without improving a simple black-coffee routine. If you want larger cups, a basic Vertuo model keeps the choice within one system, while espresso-focused drinkers can look to the CitiZ. Beginners interested in lattes should decide whether integrated milk preparation or a separate frother feels easier to clean and store. Before buying, check that the machine’s controls and capsule format suit the household rather than assuming the most feature-rich option is easiest. A simple fit with your routine matters more than a long feature list.
When is a compact Vertuo Pop+ a better choice than a larger Vertuo model?
A Vertuo Pop+ can make more sense when counter space is limited or you want a smaller machine for a secondary kitchen, office, or occasional-use setup. A larger model may be more convenient if you want a different layout or prefer the feel of a more substantial appliance. Compare the footprint with the space needed for a frother, since a bundle can reduce the space saved by choosing a compact brewer. Also think about how often you brew and how frequently you are comfortable refilling or emptying components. The right pick is the one that fits both your counter and your actual coffee volume.
Conclusion
For most households that want a flexible Vertuo setup, I recommend the VertuoPlus Deluxe with Aeroccino as the best overall choice. For best value, choose the Vertuo Pop+ configuration that matches your needs, adding an Aeroccino bundle only if you regularly make milk drinks. The Vertuo Lattissima is my best premium-style pick for frequent latte and cappuccino drinkers who welcome integrated milk preparation and its added cleaning. Beginners should choose a simple machine from the system that matches their usual cup: Vertuo for larger coffees, or the CitiZ for espresso and lungo. For a compact kitchen, look to the Pop+; for broader cup-size flexibility with a separate frother, favor a VertuoPlus Deluxe bundle. The best choice is the one that fits your drink habits, available counter space, and tolerance for cleanup.
