The best Nespresso coffee machine for most buyers is the VertuoPlus Deluxe, which pairs flexible Vertuo brewing with a milk frother. The Vertuo Lattissima suits people who want milk drinks at the touch of a button, while the CitiZ with Aeroccino3 is a strong choice for those who prefer Nespresso’s Original system. The main tradeoffs are Vertuo’s range of coffee cup sizes versus Original’s espresso-focused capsules, plus the choice between a separate frother and an integrated milk system. Counter space, capsule costs, and how often you make milk drinks can change which machine makes the most sense. Read on for the full breakdown of all 15 options and the buying details that separate them.

Key Takeaways
- The lineup splits between Vertuo and Original: Vertuo models cover larger coffee servings as well as espresso-style drinks, while the CitiZ uses Original capsules and centers on espresso-based drinks.
- Milk setup shapes daily convenience: The Vertuo Lattissima has an integrated milk system, while Aeroccino bundles add a separate frother that can be stored and cleaned apart from the machine.
- VertuoPlus Deluxe is the most balanced pick: It combines Vertuo drink-size flexibility with an Aeroccino, without requiring buyers to choose the integrated milk setup of the Lattissima.
- Several listings are close variants rather than distinct brewing systems: The Pop+ and Pop+ Deluxe, Vertuo Next, and VertuoPlus appear in multiple finishes or bundles, so buyers should compare included accessories and fit rather than assume a color changes brewing.
- Compactness and versatility pull in different directions: The Pop+ models prioritize a smaller footprint, while larger or bundled machines may suit households that value broader drink options or milk preparation more than counter space.

More Details on Our Top Picks
Nespresso VertuoPlus Deluxe Coffee and Espresso Maker with Aeroccino3 Milk Frother
I’d choose the VertuoPlus Deluxe for a household that wants several coffee sizes and fewer trips to refill. Its 60 oz reservoir is the largest capacity among these five picks, while barcode reading sets the brew for each compatible capsule with minimal effort. The included Aeroccino3 also handles hot or cold milk, so this package is more ready for cappuccinos than the machine-only Vertuo by De’Longhi. Compared with the more compact Vertuo Pop+ models, the tradeoff is a larger footprint and fewer listed coffee-size options: it brews four sizes, not the Pop+ Deluxe’s larger-coffee range. Brewing is capsule-led rather than freely adjustable, and the machine works only with Vertuo capsules. I’d rank it for convenient, frequent brewing, not for small counters or hands-on control.
Pros:- 60 oz water reservoir means fewer refills than the other listed machines.
- Brews four coffee and espresso sizes with one-touch, barcode-guided operation.
- Aeroccino3 makes hot or cold milk foam without requiring a separate purchase.
- Automatic capsule ejection simplifies the brewing routine.
Cons:- Its 10.8 × 14.75 × 15.5-inch footprint is larger than the Vertuo Pop+ models.
- Uses Nespresso Vertuo capsules only.
- Capsule-led brew settings leave limited scope for manual customization.
Best for: Households that make several Vertuo drinks a day and want a generous reservoir plus a separate frother for milk drinks.
Not ideal for: Small kitchens or buyers who want to customize brew settings beyond the options encoded in Vertuo capsules.
- 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
- Operation:Fully automatic
- Wattage:1300 watts
- 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 compact size or manual brew control.”
Nespresso Vertuo Coffee and Espresso Machine by De’Longhi, Piano Black
The Vertuo by De’Longhi suits buyers who want straightforward capsule brewing without paying for a bundled milk frother. Its used-capsule container holds up to 17 capsules, which can reduce how often a busy coffee corner needs clearing. Barcode-reading Centrifusion brewing handles four drink sizes automatically, much like the VertuoPlus Deluxe, but this model has a smaller 54 oz reservoir and no Aeroccino3 in the listed package. It is also more compact in width than the VertuoPlus Deluxe, though its 11-pound weight and dimensions still call for a dedicated spot. The main compromise is a plain, machine-only setup: buyers who make lattes will need separate milk equipment, while those seeking more drink sizes can look to the Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe.
Pros:- Used-capsule storage holds up to 17 capsules before emptying.
- Barcode reading automatically adjusts brewing for compatible capsules.
- Four coffee and espresso sizes cover common single-serve needs.
- 15–20-second heat-up is the shortest stated range among these five machines.
Cons:- The listed package does not include a milk frother.
- The 54 oz reservoir is smaller than the VertuoPlus Deluxe’s 60 oz tank.
- Limited to Nespresso Vertuo capsules and capsule-defined brew settings.
Best for: Vertuo capsule users who want automatic brewing and a roomy used-capsule bin, but do not need a bundled milk frother.
Not ideal for: Latte and cappuccino drinkers looking for an included milk system, or buyers who want more than four listed brew sizes.
- Model:ENV135B
- Capsule compatibility:Nespresso Vertuo
- Cup sizes:1.35 oz, 2.7 oz, 5 oz, and 7.7 oz
- Water reservoir:54 oz
- Used-capsule capacity:Up to 17 capsules
- Heat-up time:15–20 seconds
- Wattage:1350 watts
- Dimensions:8.97 in D × 12.22 in W × 12.33 in H
Our verdict“Pick this De’Longhi Vertuo if a larger used-capsule bin and simple brewing matter more than a bundled frother or expanded drink-size selection.”
Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Coffee and Espresso Machine by De’Longhi, Black
For a tight counter, I’d favor the Vertuo Pop+ over the larger VertuoPlus Deluxe: it weighs 7.9 pounds and has a relatively compact 8.6-inch width. It brews five sizes, including 12 oz coffee, and adds app connectivity, a removable side tank, and an adjustable drip tray. That wider size range is useful for buyers who want a larger mug without moving up to the Vertuo Lattissima. The tradeoff is capacity: its 25.4 fl oz tank is much smaller than the VertuoPlus Deluxe’s 60 oz reservoir, so frequent drinkers will refill more often. It also heats in 30 seconds, slower than the standard Vertuo’s stated 15–20 seconds. The Pop+ is a compact, connected capsule machine, not a flexible manual-brewing system, and it requires Vertuo capsules.
Pros:- Compact 8.6-inch width and 7.9-pound weight suit space-constrained counters.
- Five drink sizes include 12 oz coffee alongside single and double espresso.
- App connectivity, descaling alert, and adjustable drip tray add useful convenience.
- Made with 35% recycled plastic.
Cons:- 25.4 fl oz water tank requires more frequent refilling than the VertuoPlus Deluxe.
- 30-second heat-up is slower than the standard Vertuo by De’Longhi.
- Vertuo capsules only; no milk frother is listed as included.
Best for: Apartment dwellers, students, or occasional coffee drinkers who want several Vertuo drink sizes and app features in a compact machine.
Not ideal for: Busy households that brew repeatedly between refills, or buyers who want a milk frother included.
- Capsule compatibility:Nespresso Vertuo
- Coffee sizes:5 oz, 8 oz, and 12 oz; single and double espresso
- Water tank:25.4 fl oz
- Heat-up time:30 seconds
- Operation:Fully automatic, one-touch
- Features:App-controlled, auto shut-off, descaling alert, adjustable drip tray
- Dimensions:14 × 8.6 × 10.4 inches (D × W × H)
- Weight:7.9 pounds
Our verdict“Choose the Vertuo Pop+ if compact size and app-linked features outweigh a small reservoir and the need for separate milk equipment.”
Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe Coffee Machine with Aeroccino3 Milk Frother, Matte Black Gold
The Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe pairs a compact Pop+ footprint with an included Aeroccino3, making it the stronger choice than the standard Vertuo Pop+ for buyers who regularly add milk. Its listed range includes 5, 8, 12, and 18 oz coffees, plus single and double espresso, so it covers larger cups than the VertuoPlus Deluxe. One-touch brewing and the removable side tank keep daily use straightforward, but the 25 fl oz reservoir is a clear compromise beside the VertuoPlus Deluxe’s 60 oz capacity. It also takes 30 seconds to heat, rather than the standard Vertuo by De’Longhi’s 15–20 seconds. I’d choose this bundle for compact, milk-based variety; buyers who rarely froth milk may prefer the less accessory-heavy Vertuo Pop+.
Pros:- Includes an Aeroccino3 for hot or cold milk foam.
- Brew options include 18 oz coffee as well as espresso sizes.
- Compact 14 × 8.6 × 10.4-inch design has a removable side tank.
- One-touch operation keeps capsule brewing simple.
Cons:- 25 fl oz tank is far smaller than the VertuoPlus Deluxe’s 60 oz reservoir.
- 30-second heat-up is slower than the standard Vertuo by De’Longhi.
- Compatible only with Nespresso Vertuo capsules.
Best for: Small-kitchen buyers who make both larger coffees and milk drinks and want a separate hot-and-cold frother included.
Not ideal for: Frequent multi-person brewing households that would find a 25 fl oz tank inconvenient, or buyers who do not need a frother.
- Model:BNV155TTN1BUC1
- Capsule compatibility:Nespresso Vertuo
- Brew sizes:5, 8, 12, and 18 oz coffees; single and double espresso
- Water tank:25 fl oz
- Heat-up time:30 seconds
- Dimensions:14 × 8.6 × 10.4 inches
- Weight:10.3 pounds
- Included components:Aeroccino3 milk frother and capsule starter set
Our verdict“Pick the Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe if you want a compact machine with broad drink sizes and a dedicated frother, and can live with frequent refills.”
Nespresso Vertuo Lattissima Coffee and Espresso Maker by De’Longhi, White
If cappuccinos and lattes are part of the daily routine, the Vertuo Lattissima offers the most integrated milk setup in this group. Its built-in system prepares milk drinks at the touch of a button, while the detachable 16 fl oz tank can go in the dishwasher. That is more convenient than using the separate Aeroccino3 bundled with the VertuoPlus Deluxe or Pop+ Deluxe, though those machines keep the frother separate from the brewer. The Lattissima also lists six drink sizes, including 18 oz coffee, and heats in 30 seconds. Its 14-pound weight and 16-inch depth make it less suited to cramped counters than the Vertuo Pop+ models. Buyers who mostly drink black coffee may be better served by the standard Vertuo, which avoids the built-in milk system.
Pros:- Built-in milk system prepares cappuccinos and lattes with one-button operation.
- Detachable 16 fl oz milk tank is dishwasher-safe.
- Six listed sizes range from single espresso to 18 oz coffee.
- 30-second heat-up supports a quick start to brewing.
Cons:- At 16 inches deep and 14 pounds, it is less compact than either Vertuo Pop+.
- Milk tank capacity is limited to 16 fl oz.
- Works exclusively with Nespresso Vertuo capsules.
Best for: Latte and cappuccino drinkers who want one-button milk drinks and a removable, dishwasher-safe milk tank.
Not ideal for: Black-coffee drinkers, very small kitchens, or buyers who prefer a simple machine without an integrated milk system.
- Model:ENV300W
- Capsule compatibility:Nespresso Vertuo
- 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
- Features:One-button operation, built-in milk frother, Bluetooth, automatic shut-off
- Dimensions:16 × 7.5 × 12.4 inches
- Weight:14 pounds
Our verdict“Choose the Vertuo Lattissima if automated lattes and cappuccinos are worth the larger machine and dedicated milk-system upkeep.”
Nespresso CitiZ Coffee and Espresso Machine with Aeroccino3 Milk Frother
I’d choose the CitiZ with Aeroccino3 when espresso-based drinks matter more than large mugs of coffee. It uses Nespresso Original capsules and makes espresso or lungo, while the included frother handles hot or cold milk with one touch. That gives it a clearer milk-drink advantage over the Vertuo Next models here, which brew a wider range of cup sizes but don’t have a confirmed frother in the listed package. The tradeoff is capsule choice: this machine is built for Original capsules, not Vertuo pods. Its compact footprint suits a smaller counter, though the supplied dimensions are about 14.6 inches wide, so I wouldn’t assume it is exceptionally narrow. Choose it for straightforward cappuccino-style drinks; skip it if you want full-size coffee options.
Pros:- Makes both espresso and lungo with Nespresso Original capsules.
- Includes a one-touch Aeroccino3 for hot or cold milk froth.
- Compact design compared with machines built around larger coffee servings.
- Frother shuts off automatically when finished.
Cons:- Limited to Nespresso Original capsules and their espresso- and lungo-focused format.
- Does not offer the large coffee sizes available from Vertuo Next models.
- Listed dimensions show a 14.6-inch width, which may take more counter space than the compact description suggests.
Best for: Espresso drinkers in smaller kitchens who want a simple included frother for hot or cold milk drinks.
Not ideal for: Buyers who want large cups of coffee or access to Nespresso Vertuo capsules rather than Original capsules.
- Capsule system:Nespresso Original
- Beverage options:Espresso and lungo
- Pressure:19 bars
- Milk frother:Aeroccino3; hot or cold froth
- Operation:Fully automatic
- Dimensions:11.3 × 14.6 × 12.44 inches (D × W × H)
- Weight:8.7 pounds
Our verdict“Pick the CitiZ if you want Original-line espresso and a ready-to-use milk frother, but choose a Vertuo Next for larger coffee servings.”
Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee and Espresso Maker by De’Longhi, Creamy White and Gold
The Vertuo Next in Creamy White and Gold is a good fit when one machine needs to cover espresso through a substantial 18-ounce coffee. Its barcode-reading Centrifusion system adjusts brewing to the Vertuo capsule, so there’s little manual setup between cup styles. Compared with the black Vertuo Next listed here, it offers the same core size range and narrow 5.5-inch width; the meaningful distinction is the finish and package details, including a starter capsule set. A 37-ounce tank keeps the footprint slim, but it also means refills will be part of regular use. This is a Vertuo-only machine, not a ground-coffee brewer, and the product data does not clearly confirm a milk frother. I’d choose it for varied black coffee and espresso, not for built-in milk preparation.
Pros:- Brews six listed options, from single and double espresso to 18-ounce coffee.
- Recognizes Vertuo capsules and adjusts brewing automatically.
- At 5.5 inches wide, fits counters with limited width.
- Includes a starter capsule set.
Cons:- Works with Nespresso Vertuo capsules rather than standard ground coffee or Original capsules.
- The 37-ounce water tank may require frequent refilling for multiple large cups.
- Milk-frother inclusion is unclear in the supplied product information.
Best for: Households that want both espresso and larger single-serve coffee from a narrow machine and are comfortable using Vertuo capsules.
Not ideal for: Buyers who want ground-coffee compatibility, a confirmed included milk frother, or fewer water-tank refills.
- Capsule system:Nespresso Vertuo
- Coffee sizes:5, 8, 12, and 18 ounces
- Espresso options:Single and double
- Water capacity:37 fl oz
- Technology:Centrifusion capsule recognition and brewing adjustment
- Dimensions:16.9 × 5.5 × 12.4 inches
- Weight:8.8 pounds
- Included:Coffee maker and starter capsule set
Our verdict“Choose this Vertuo Next for wide cup-size choice in a slim format, but pick the CitiZ with Aeroccino3 if milk drinks are a priority.”
Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee and Espresso Maker by De’Longhi, Black
If counter width is the main constraint, the black Vertuo Next offers the same slim 5.5-inch profile and broad drink range as the Creamy White and Gold version. It prepares four coffee sizes plus single and double espresso, with Centrifusion brewing adjusting to each Vertuo capsule. That makes it more versatile for mug drinkers than the CitiZ, which focuses on espresso and lungo, while the VertuoPlus Deluxe adds an Aeroccino3 and a larger 60-ounce reservoir. The Next’s 37-ounce tank keeps its body narrow but gives up some refill convenience. It also locks you into Vertuo pods, so it is not a flexible choice for people who already use Original capsules or ground coffee. Pick this model for compact width and varied cup sizes, not for milk drinks straight from the box.
Pros:- Offers four coffee sizes plus single and double espresso.
- Automatically adjusts brewing to each Vertuo capsule.
- Slim 5.5-inch width helps preserve counter space.
- Removable water tank and drip tray simplify routine handling.
Cons:- Compatible exclusively with Nespresso Vertuo pods.
- The 37-ounce reservoir is smaller than the VertuoPlus Deluxe’s 60-ounce capacity.
- No milk frother is listed as included.
Best for: Apartment dwellers or coffee drinkers with narrow counters who want both espresso and full-size Vertuo coffee.
Not ideal for: People who want an included frother, a larger reservoir, or compatibility with Original capsules or ground coffee.
- Capsule system:Nespresso Vertuo
- Brew sizes:5, 8, 12, and 18 ounces; single and double espresso
- Technology:Centrifusion
- Water tank capacity:37 fl oz
- Dimensions:16.9 × 5.5 × 12.4 inches (D × W × H)
- Weight:8.8 pounds
- Power:1500 W
- Features:Auto shut-off; removable tank and drip tray
Our verdict“Choose the black Vertuo Next for a narrow footprint and varied Vertuo drinks, or the VertuoPlus Deluxe if you want a frother and a larger tank.”
Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe Coffee and Espresso Maker by De’Longhi, Black
The Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe makes the strongest case for buyers who want iced coffee as part of their regular rotation. It brews five sizes with one-touch controls, heats up in about 30 seconds, and ejects used capsules automatically, reducing the steps after each drink. Its side-accessible tank is a practical distinction from the Vertuo Next models: placement may be easier when the machine sits close to a wall or another appliance. The tradeoff is that it does not offer the Next’s listed 18-ounce serving, and its semi-automatic button operation is not a route to manual brewing. Like the other Vertuo machines here, it depends on Vertuo capsules. I’d choose it over the black Next for iced drinks and easy capsule handling, but not if the largest coffee size is your priority.
Pros:- Brews five sizes, including iced coffee.
- Automatic capsule ejection cuts down on post-brew handling.
- Side-accessible 37.2-ounce tank can suit tighter counter layouts.
- Heats up in about 30 seconds.
Cons:- Uses Nespresso Vertuo capsules rather than Original capsules or ground coffee.
- Does not list the Vertuo Next’s 18-ounce coffee size.
- No milk frother is included in the supplied package details.
Best for: Vertuo users who make iced coffee, want quick one-touch brewing, and value simple capsule disposal in a compact kitchen.
Not ideal for: People who need an 18-ounce coffee option, want ground-coffee flexibility, or prefer an included milk frother.
- Capsule system:Nespresso Vertuo
- Brew sizes:Five sizes, including iced coffee
- Water tank capacity:37.2 fl oz
- Heat-up time:About 30 seconds
- Operation:Semi-automatic, button controls
- Dimensions:8.6 × 14 × 10.4 inches
- Weight:7.9 pounds
- Included:Welcome pack of Vertuo capsules
Our verdict“Pick the Pop+ Deluxe for iced drinks and easy capsule disposal, but choose a Vertuo Next if you want an 18-ounce coffee option.”
Nespresso VertuoPlus Deluxe Coffee and Espresso Machine with Aeroccino Milk Frother
Among these five picks, the VertuoPlus Deluxe with Aeroccino3 is the most complete choice for households that want coffee, espresso, and milk drinks without adding a separate frother. The machine reads Vertuo capsule barcodes to set brewing parameters, while the 60-ounce reservoir holds substantially more water than the 37-ounce tanks on both Vertuo Next models and the Pop+ Deluxe. Its 15–20-second heat-up is also quick for a machine with this broader setup. The tradeoffs are capsule exclusivity and a used-capsule bin that holds up to 17 capsules before it needs emptying. Compared with the CitiZ, it serves larger Vertuo coffee sizes and includes a frother, but it cannot use Original capsules. I’d favor it for mixed coffee-and-milk routines rather than buyers focused only on compactness.
Pros:- Includes an Aeroccino3 for hot or cold milk foam.
- 60-ounce reservoir exceeds the capacity of the other Vertuo models in this batch.
- Barcode reading sets brewing parameters for compatible capsules.
- Heats up in 15–20 seconds.
Cons:- Uses Nespresso Vertuo capsules and cannot brew Original capsules or ground coffee.
- Used-capsule capacity is limited to 17 before emptying.
- Its 16.7-inch listed width takes more counter space than the 5.5-inch-wide Vertuo Next models.
Best for: Households that alternate between Vertuo coffee, espresso, and hot or cold milk drinks and want to refill the reservoir less often.
Not ideal for: Buyers with limited counter space, Original-capsule users, or anyone who wants to avoid emptying a used-capsule bin.
- Capsule system:Nespresso Vertuo
- Brew sizes:1.35, 2.7, 5.0, and 7.7 ounces
- Water reservoir capacity:60 oz
- Milk frother:Aeroccino3; hot or cold milk foam
- Heat-up time:15–20 seconds
- Automatic shutoff:After 9 minutes
- Dimensions:5.6 × 16.7 × 12.8 inches (D × W × H)
- Weight:10.3 pounds
Our verdict“Choose the VertuoPlus Deluxe if you want an included Aeroccino3 and a larger reservoir, but select a Vertuo Next for a narrower machine.”
Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee Machine with Aeroccino3 Milk Frother, Creamy White
The Vertuo Next with Aeroccino3 combines a narrow footprint with a separate frother, making it a good fit for someone who wants both long coffees and milk-based drinks without choosing the wider Vertuo Up. At 5.5 inches wide, it is the slimmest option here, while its 5-to-18-ounce coffee sizes and single or double espresso cover more cup sizes than the older Vertuo with Aeroccino3. The included frother handles hot or cold milk foam, adding flexibility without building a milk system into the machine. The tradeoffs are its Vertuo-only capsule compatibility and plastic construction; the Aeroccino also takes up counter space of its own. I’d choose it for narrow counters, but skip it if you want a self-contained setup or less plastic.
Pros:- Slim 5.5-inch width saves counter space
- Brews 5-to-18-ounce coffees as well as single and double espresso
- Included Aeroccino3 makes hot or cold milk foam
- Vertuo capsules can be recycled through Nespresso’s program
Cons:- Works only with Nespresso Vertuo capsules
- Plastic construction may not suit buyers seeking a more premium-feeling body
- Separate frother requires additional counter space
Best for: People with narrow counters who want several coffee sizes and a separate hot-and-cold milk frother.
Not ideal for: Buyers seeking Original-line capsule compatibility, a metal-bodied machine, or an integrated milk system.
- Model:BNV570CRM1BUC1
- Operation:Fully automatic
- Capsule compatibility: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 in
- Included:Aeroccino3 milk frother and Vertuo pod starter set
- Material and color:Plastic; creamy white
Our verdict“Choose this bundle if you want a very narrow Vertuo machine with a dedicated frother and can accommodate both appliances.”
Nespresso Vertuo Up Coffee and Espresso Maker by De’Longhi, White
The Vertuo Up is the most customization-focused machine in this group: it starts in three seconds, offers six drink sizes, and has a Coffee Creations mode for concentrated coffee intended for iced drinks. That mode gives it a clearer cold-coffee use case than the Vertuo Next models, which offer broad cup sizes but no stated dedicated concentration setting. Its movable 47-ounce tank also gives buyers more placement flexibility than the 25-ounce Vertuo Pop+, with fewer refill interruptions. App-based cup-size and temperature adjustments add control, though they may matter little to someone who just wants one-touch brewing. Like the other Vertuo models here, it accepts only Vertuo capsules, and its plastic body is not a premium-material upgrade. I’d pick it for varied iced drinks, not for a minimal, app-free setup.
Pros:- Dedicated Coffee Creations mode makes concentrated coffee for iced drinks
- Six sizes span single espresso through 18-ounce coffee
- Three-second start reduces the wait before brewing
- Movable 47-ounce tank allows more flexible placement
Cons:- Accepts only Nespresso Vertuo capsules
- App customization may add little for buyers who want straightforward brewing
- Plastic construction lacks the feel of a metal-bodied appliance
Best for: Iced-coffee drinkers who want concentrated brewing, several drink sizes, and app-based adjustments.
Not ideal for: Buyers who prefer simple one-button operation without app features or need compatibility beyond Vertuo capsules.
- Model:ENV200W
- Operation:Fully automatic
- Capsule compatibility:Nespresso Vertuo
- Brew sizes:5, 8, 12, and 18 oz coffee; single and double espresso
- Water tank:47 fl oz, movable
- Start time:3 seconds
- Dimensions:15.4 × 8.7 × 10.1 in
- Power:940 W; 120 V
- Warranty and color:1-year manufacturer warranty; white
Our verdict“Choose the Vertuo Up if iced-drink customization and a larger movable tank matter more than app-free simplicity.”
Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Coffee and Espresso Maker by Breville, Coconut White
The Vertuo Pop+ is the smaller-capacity choice for buyers who want a compact everyday machine rather than the larger cups and tank of the Vertuo Next or Vertuo Up. It brews five sizes up to 12 ounces, including espresso options and drinks suited to serving over ice, and its 30-second heat-up and one-touch controls keep the routine straightforward. The removable side-mounted tank is accessible, but at 25 ounces it holds much less than the Up’s 47-ounce reservoir, so frequent brewers should expect more refills. Its 35% recycled-plastic content is a useful material distinction, though the machine remains plastic and Vertuo-only. Compared with the Next, it gives up 18-ounce coffee capacity in exchange for a more compact format. I’d choose it for smaller servings and limited space, not large-mug drinkers.
Pros:- Compact format suits smaller counters
- Brews five sizes, including espresso and coffee up to 12 ounces
- 30-second heat-up and one-touch operation keep use simple
- Machine includes 35% recycled plastic
Cons:- 25-ounce tank needs more frequent refilling than the Vertuo Up’s 47-ounce tank
- Does not brew the 18-ounce coffee size offered by Vertuo Next and Vertuo Up
- Works only with Nespresso Vertuo pods
Best for: Apartment dwellers and occasional coffee drinkers who want a compact Vertuo machine for espresso, smaller coffees, and iced drinks.
Not ideal for: People who regularly brew 18-ounce servings or want a larger water tank to reduce refills.
- Model:Vertuo Pop+ by Breville
- Operation:Fully automatic
- Capsule compatibility:Nespresso Vertuo pods
- Brew sizes:5 sizes, including 5, 8, and 12 oz coffee; single and double espresso
- Water tank:25 fl oz, removable and side-mounted
- Heat-up time:30 seconds
- Dimensions:14 × 8.6 × 10.4 in
- Recycled plastic content:35%
- Color:Coconut white
Our verdict“Pick the Vertuo Pop+ if compact size and smaller drinks matter more than a large tank or 18-ounce coffee.”
Nespresso Vertuo Coffee and Espresso Maker with Aeroccino Milk Frother, Chrome
This Vertuo with Aeroccino3 suits buyers who want an uncomplicated coffee-and-frother bundle, rather than the larger drink range offered by the Vertuo Next with Aeroccino3. Its listed sizes run from 1.35-ounce espresso to 7.7-ounce coffee, so it covers shorter servings but not the 12- or 18-ounce mugs available from newer options such as the Vertuo Up. Barcode-guided brewing selects settings for each capsule, and automatic capsule ejection limits handling after a drink. The 40-ounce reservoir is larger than the Pop+ tank, while the included Aeroccino makes hot or cold foam without requiring a separate purchase. Its main compromise is that it is limited to Vertuo capsules and the specified cup sizes; the plastic body also keeps the chrome finish from meaning a metal build.
Pros:- Aeroccino3 froths milk hot or cold
- 40-ounce reservoir is larger than the Vertuo Pop+ tank
- Barcode-guided brewing sets the cycle for each capsule
- Automatically ejects used capsules
Cons:- Largest listed coffee size is 7.7 ounces
- Compatible only with Nespresso Vertuo capsules
- Plastic construction despite the chrome finish
Best for: Buyers who mostly drink espresso and medium-size coffee and want a separate frother included.
Not ideal for: Large-mug drinkers who want 12- or 18-ounce brews, or buyers looking for capsule flexibility or a metal body.
- Model:BNV250CRO1BUC1
- Operation:Fully automatic
- Capsule compatibility:Nespresso Vertuo
- Brew sizes:1.35, 2.7, 5.0, and 7.7 oz
- Water reservoir:40 oz
- Included:Aeroccino3 milk frother
- Dimensions:11.91 × 11.93 × 8.32 in
- Power:1350 W; 120 V
- Material and finish:Plastic; chrome
Our verdict“Choose this bundle for simple espresso and medium-coffee brewing with a frother, but choose a Vertuo Next or Up for larger cups.”
Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee and Espresso Maker by Breville, Navy Blue
The Vertuo Next by Breville makes the most sense for households that want one machine to cover long coffees and espresso without adding a separate frother. Its range reaches 18-ounce coffee, a size the Vertuo Pop+ cannot brew, while still offering single and double espresso. Centrifusion technology reads each capsule and adjusts the brewing process, so there is less manual setup between different drinks. Its 5.5-inch width is unusually narrow, although the tall, deep shape still needs room front to back; the Vertuo Pop+ may fit better where overall counter space is tight. This navy version does not include the Aeroccino3 supplied with the creamy-white Next bundle, so milk-drink fans need another solution. It also uses Vertuo capsules exclusively and has a plastic build.
Pros:- Brews coffee up to 18 ounces plus single and double espresso
- 5.5-inch width fits narrow counter spaces
- Centrifusion adjusts brewing to each capsule
- Removable water tank and capsule starter set are included
Cons:- Works exclusively with Nespresso Vertuo capsules
- No milk frother is included, unlike the creamy-white Vertuo Next bundle
- Tall, deep dimensions still require room behind and above the machine
Best for: Households that want espresso through 18-ounce coffee in a narrow machine and do not need an included milk frother.
Not ideal for: Buyers who want milk foam in the box, a metal-bodied machine, or capsules outside the Vertuo system.
- Model:Nespresso Vertuo Next by Breville
- Operation:Fully automatic
- Capsule compatibility:Nespresso Vertuo
- Brew sizes:5, 8, 12, and 18 oz coffee; single and double espresso
- Water capacity:1.1 liters
- Dimensions:16.9 × 5.5 × 12.4 in
- Weight:4.3 kg
- Power:1500 W; 120 V
- Color:Navy blue
Our verdict“Choose this Vertuo Next for broad cup-size coverage in a narrow machine if you do not need a bundled milk frother.”
How We Picked
I compared these machines around the decisions that affect everyday ownership: capsule system and drink range, milk preparation, ease of use, counter footprint, and maintenance. Vertuo models received credit for serving a wider range of cup sizes, while the Original-system CitiZ stands out for buyers whose routine is centered on espresso and espresso-based drinks. Milk options were judged by convenience and flexibility, not by assuming an integrated system is right for everyone.
The ranking favors machines with a clear use case and a useful balance of capability and effort. I place the VertuoPlus Deluxe with Aeroccino near the top for its broad appeal; the Lattissima ranks higher for hands-off milk drinks, and the CitiZ is a distinct alternative for espresso-focused homes. Compact Pop+ models earn consideration for limited counter space, while multiple finishes and similar bundles rank by the practical differences they offer, not by color alone. I also weigh ownership tradeoffs such as cleaning parts, capsule-system commitment, and whether a bundled frother will actually be used.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Best Nespresso Coffee Machines
Before choosing among these machines, I’d start with how you drink coffee on an ordinary day, not with the longest feature list. Capsule system, serving size, milk routine, and available counter space determine whether a machine feels convenient after the novelty wears off. These broader checks can also help avoid paying for a setup that does not match your habits.
Choose the capsule system around your usual drink
The biggest decision is Vertuo versus Original, because the systems use different capsules and are not interchangeable. Vertuo is the better fit if you want both espresso-style servings and larger cups from one machine. Original makes more sense if your routine focuses on espresso and espresso-based drinks. Think about what you already buy or can readily source before committing, since changing systems later means changing capsules too. A common mistake is choosing by machine appearance and only afterward discovering that the capsule format does not suit the drinks you make most.
Match milk convenience to how often you use it
An integrated milk system can simplify frequent cappuccino or latte preparation, but it also brings additional parts and cleaning steps. A separate Aeroccino keeps milk preparation apart from brewing, which can be useful if some household members drink black coffee or if you want to put the frother away between uses. If you only add milk occasionally, a bundled frother may take up space without earning its place on the counter. Before choosing, be realistic about whether you want to rinse and maintain milk-contact components after each use. Paying for a more elaborate milk setup makes the most sense when it removes a task you perform regularly.
Think about cup size and the number of daily servings
Machine labels can make drink-size flexibility sound universally valuable, but your household may use only one or two settings. If you mostly make a small espresso, a model selected for large-cup range may not improve your routine. For shared kitchens, check whether the available brewing options suit the different serving habits in the household. Also consider how often you brew back-to-back drinks, since a machine that fits one person’s morning ritual may feel less convenient when several people use it. Pick for the servings you actually make, rather than treating the widest range as an automatic advantage.
Measure the counter and the space around the machine
Measure the intended spot before ordering, including room to open the capsule head, fill the water tank, and remove used capsules. A compact body can be a better daily fit than a more feature-rich machine if it leaves little usable counter space. Bundled frothers need their own accessible spot, while an integrated milk setup may add cleaning needs even if it avoids a separate appliance. Check the machine’s shape and access points, not just its headline footprint. This is especially useful in small kitchens, where reaching behind a machine to refill it can turn a minor chore into a repeated annoyance.
Compare bundles by what you will use
Several machines in this lineup appear in different finishes or with different frother bundles, so compare the included equipment rather than treating every listing as a new brewing option. A frother is useful only if you plan to prepare milk drinks, and a matching finish does not change capsule compatibility. Look closely at the exact model name and included accessories when choosing between similar Pop+, Vertuo Next, or VertuoPlus listings. Buyers can overvalue a bundle because it appears to offer more, even when the extra appliance will rarely leave the cupboard. For a simpler routine, the machine that best fits your habits can be a better choice than the fullest package.
Account for cleaning and capsule ownership
Capsule brewing keeps preparation simple, but it does not remove routine care. You still need to empty used capsules, refill water, and follow the maker’s cleaning and descaling guidance; milk equipment adds its own cleanup. Consider where used capsules will go and whether you have a practical way to collect or recycle them in your area. A machine that is easy to operate but awkward to clean may become less appealing with frequent use. Review the care steps and capsule-sourcing options before purchase so convenience stays part of the experience after the first few cups.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose a Vertuo machine or the CitiZ?
I’d choose based on capsule system and drink habits, not the machine’s finish. Vertuo models in this roundup offer multiple serving sizes, including larger coffee servings alongside espresso-style drinks. The CitiZ uses Original capsules and is a better match for an espresso-centered routine. The capsule formats are different, so capsules for one system cannot be used in the other. If you already have a supply of one format, staying with that system may be the simplest choice.
Is an integrated milk machine worth choosing over an Aeroccino bundle?
An integrated milk system is most useful when you regularly make milk drinks and want fewer separate steps at preparation time. It also means more milk-contact parts to clean and maintain. An Aeroccino is separate from the coffee machine, so it offers more flexibility for households where not everyone uses milk or where milk drinks are occasional. Think about cleanup as part of the daily routine, not only the convenience of pressing a button. If you rarely make lattes or cappuccinos, a milk-focused setup may add work rather than save it.
Are the different colors of the same Nespresso model mechanically different?
A finish by itself does not indicate a different capsule system or brewing purpose. In this roundup, several Vertuo Pop+, Vertuo Next, and VertuoPlus listings appear in different colors, while some bundles also vary by whether a frother is included. Compare the full listing name and accessory details before deciding. Do not assume a color variant includes the same equipment as another listing with a similar model name. If the machine and bundle match, choose the finish that best fits your kitchen rather than expecting a different coffee experience.
What should I check before buying a compact Pop+ for a small kitchen?
Measure the space where the machine will sit and leave room to open it, refill the water tank, and remove used capsules. Then check where a separate frother would go if you are considering a Pop+ bundle with one. Compact dimensions help, but they do not solve awkward access if the machine is pushed under a shelf or into a tight corner. Think about whether your usual drinks fit the Vertuo system’s serving options. A compact machine is a good fit when it saves space without forcing daily workarounds.
How can I tell whether a frother bundle is worth choosing?
Start by counting how often you expect to make milk drinks, rather than treating an included frother as a bonus by default. If lattes or cappuccinos are part of your regular routine, a bundle can keep the equipment together and ready to use. If you mostly drink black coffee or espresso, the frother may occupy storage space and add a cleaning task. Check whether the listing includes the frother you expect, since similarly named machines in this roundup vary by bundle. A bundle is most useful when its extra appliance matches a habit you already have.
Conclusion
For the broadest fit, I recommend the VertuoPlus Deluxe with Aeroccino as best overall: it pairs Vertuo drink-size range with a separate frother. Buyers seeking the best value should compare the standard Vertuo and Pop+ listings against their needs, choosing a compact or simpler setup instead of paying for a milk bundle they will not use. For a premium milk-drink routine, the Vertuo Lattissima is the strongest match, while the CitiZ with Aeroccino3 is best for espresso-focused beginners who want an Original-system machine and a separate frother. The Pop+ is my pick for specific needs such as a smaller counter footprint; choose it when space matters more than a larger or more elaborate setup. Before ordering, confirm the capsule system and included accessories so the machine fits both your drink habits and your kitchen.
