The Nespresso VertuoPlus Deluxe with Aeroccino3 is my best overall pick for its broad drink range and separate milk frother, while the CitiZ with Aeroccino3 suits buyers who prefer Original capsules and espresso-focused brewing. For a compact setup, the Vertuo Pop+ models offer a smaller footprint, though their water capacity and capsule system may be less flexible for some households. The biggest choice is between Vertuo’s larger coffee formats and Original’s espresso-led range, followed by whether you want milk handled by a separate frother or an integrated system. This roundup compares 15 machines by their strengths, tradeoffs, and likely fit. Read on for the full breakdown and help choosing the right one for your kitchen.

Key Takeaways
- VertuoPlus Deluxe with Aeroccino3 earns the overall lead for buyers who want multiple coffee sizes and a separate milk frother in one bundle.
- The CitiZ with Aeroccino3 stands apart as the only Original system in this lineup, making it the espresso-first choice for shoppers who value that capsule family.
- Vertuo Pop+ models prioritize a compact footprint; the included Aeroccino3 on select bundles adds milk drinks without changing the machine’s core format.
- The Vertuo Lattissima integrates milk preparation, which can reduce separate steps but adds a milk system to clean and maintain.
- Several picks are color or bundle variants of the same machine families, so the meaningful comparison is often capsule system, milk setup, and footprint rather than the finish.

More Details on Our Top Picks
Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Coffee and Espresso Maker by Breville, Coconut White
The Vertuo Pop+ by Breville earns my compact pick by pairing a small footprint with five drink sizes, from espresso to 12-ounce coffee. Its side-mounted removable tank makes refilling easier when counter space is tight, though its 25-ounce capacity can mean more trips to the sink than the VertuoPlus Deluxe’s 60-ounce reservoir. A 30-second heat-up and one-touch, barcode-reading brew system suit quick mornings without asking you to adjust settings. It also offers iced options and uses 35% recycled plastic. The tradeoff is capsule choice: this machine takes Vertuo pods only, so Original-line options like those used by the CitiZ are out. I’d choose it for a small kitchen where size and drink variety matter more than a large water supply.
Pros:- Compact body with an accessible side-mounted removable tank
- Five coffee and espresso sizes, including iced options
- One-touch brewing with a 30-second heat-up
- Machine contains 35% recycled plastic; capsules can be recycled through Nespresso’s program
Cons:- 25-ounce tank needs frequent refilling in regular use
- Works only with Nespresso Vertuo pods
Best for: Apartment dwellers who want several coffee sizes from a compact machine and can refill a smaller tank regularly
Not ideal for: Households that brew many cups between refills or want access to Nespresso Original capsules
- Machine type:Fully automatic espresso machine
- Model:Vertuo Pop+ by Breville
- Brew sizes:Five sizes, including 5, 8, and 12 oz coffee, plus single and double espresso
- Water tank:25 fl oz (0.75 liters), removable
- Heat-up time:30 seconds
- Dimensions:14 × 8.6 × 10.4 in (D × W × H)
- Compatible capsules:Nespresso Vertuo
- Recycled plastic:35%
Our verdict“Choose the Vertuo Pop+ if counter space is limited and its smaller tank and Vertuo-only pods fit your routine.”
Nespresso VertuoPlus Deluxe Coffee and Espresso Maker with Aeroccino3 Milk Frother
For buyers who want milk drinks without a separate frother purchase, the VertuoPlus Deluxe with Aeroccino3 is my pick. Its included frother handles hot or cold milk, while the machine reads each capsule’s barcode to set the brew automatically. That makes it more convenient for varied coffee and espresso than the CitiZ, which is limited to espresso and lungo. The 60-ounce reservoir also holds more than twice as much as the Vertuo Pop+, so it suits a busier counter with fewer refill breaks. The tradeoff is control: capsule size determines the brew, leaving little room to customize it. Its larger 10.8 × 14.75 × 15.5-inch body also takes up more room than the Pop+. I’d rank it for milk-drink convenience and capacity, rather than compactness or brew flexibility.
Pros:- Aeroccino3 froths hot or cold milk
- Large 60-ounce water reservoir reduces refill frequency
- Barcode reading sets brewing to the capsule automatically
- Brews four coffee and espresso sizes
Cons:- Capsule size governs brew settings, limiting customization
- Larger footprint than compact picks such as the Vertuo Pop+
- Requires Nespresso Vertuo capsules
Best for: Couples or small households who make milk-based drinks and want a large reservoir with minimal setup
Not ideal for: Buyers with limited counter space or anyone who wants to fine-tune brew settings
- Machine type:Fully automatic espresso machine
- Capsule compatibility:Nespresso Vertuo
- Brew sizes:1.35, 2.7, 5.0, and 7.7 oz
- Water reservoir:60 oz
- Heat-up time:15–25 seconds
- Automatic shutoff:After 9 minutes of inactivity
- Dimensions:10.8 × 14.75 × 15.5 in
- Included accessory:Aeroccino3 milk frother
Our verdict“Pick the VertuoPlus Deluxe if a built-in milk-drink setup and fewer tank refills matter more than compact size or manual control.”
Nespresso Vertuo Lattissima Coffee and Espresso Maker by De’Longhi, White
The Vertuo Lattissima suits people who want the milk system built into the machine, with one-button cappuccino and latte preparation alongside six coffee and espresso sizes. Its detachable, dishwasher-safe 16-ounce milk tank makes cleanup more straightforward than managing a separate Aeroccino3, as included with the VertuoPlus Deluxe. That convenience takes up a taller, deeper footprint: at 16 inches deep and 12.4 inches high, it is less suited to a cramped counter than the Vertuo Pop+. It heats up in 30 seconds and works only with Vertuo capsules, so it doesn’t serve buyers who prefer Original pods such as those used by the CitiZ. The milk tank is also modest in capacity, which may call for refills during a run of drinks. I’d choose it for frequent latte drinkers who value integrated preparation over a smaller machine.
Pros:- Built-in system prepares cappuccinos and lattes
- Detachable milk tank is dishwasher-safe
- Six coffee and espresso sizes
- 30-second heat-up and one-button operation
Cons:- 16-ounce milk tank may need refilling during repeated drinks
- Deeper and taller than the Vertuo Pop+
- Compatible only with Nespresso Vertuo capsules
Best for: Latte and cappuccino drinkers who want an integrated milk system and dishwasher-safe milk tank
Not ideal for: Small-kitchen buyers or households that make many milk drinks before they want to refill the 16-ounce tank
- Model:Vertuo Lattissima, ENV300W
- Brew sizes:5, 8, 12, and 18 fl oz coffee; single and double espresso
- Milk tank:16 fl oz, detachable and dishwasher-safe
- 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 one-touch milk drinks and easy tank cleanup justify its larger footprint.”
Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe Coffee Machine with Aeroccino3 Milk Frother, Matte Black Gold
This Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe keeps the compact Pop+ format and adds an Aeroccino3, making it the bundle I’d pick for buyers who want both coffee and milk foam without adding a separate machine later. The frother handles hot or cold milk, while one-touch brewing serves coffee sizes up to 18 ounces as well as espresso. Compared with the Vertuo Lattissima, it relies on a separate frother rather than an integrated milk system, so preparing a latte involves an extra step. Its 25-ounce side tank and 30-second heat-up help keep the setup simple, but the tank is much smaller than the VertuoPlus Deluxe’s 60 ounces. The capsule starter set offers a starting selection, not ongoing flexibility: this model uses Vertuo pods only. I’d favor it when footprint and included frothing gear matter more than reservoir capacity.
Pros:- Compact machine includes an Aeroccino3 for hot or cold froth
- Brew options include coffee up to 18 oz and single or double espresso
- Removable side tank and one-touch operation
- Capsule starter set is included
Cons:- 25-ounce tank is small beside the VertuoPlus Deluxe’s 60-ounce reservoir
- Separate frother adds a step compared with the Vertuo Lattissima
- Uses Nespresso Vertuo capsules only
Best for: Buyers with limited counter space who want a compact Vertuo machine and a separate hot-and-cold frother in the box
Not ideal for: Frequent multi-cup households that want a large reservoir or latte drinkers who prefer integrated milk preparation
- Model:BNV155TTN1BUC1
- Brew sizes:5, 8, 12, and 18 oz coffee; single and double espresso
- Water tank:25 fl oz, removable
- Heat-up time:30 seconds
- Dimensions:14 × 8.6 × 10.4 in
- Compatible capsules:Nespresso Vertuo
- Included components:Aeroccino3 milk frother and capsule starter set
- Color:Matte Black Gold
Our verdict“Pick this Pop+ bundle if you want a compact machine with a separate milk frother included and can live with frequent refills.”
Nespresso CitiZ Coffee and Espresso Machine with Aeroccino3 Milk Frother
The CitiZ with Aeroccino3 is the lineup’s fit for buyers who want classic espresso and lungo from Nespresso Original capsules. Its 19-bar pressure system and programmable operation focus on those shorter drinks, while the included frother adds hot or cold milk for cappuccinos and other milk-based espresso drinks. That narrower range sets it apart from the Vertuo Pop+, which handles larger coffee servings up to 12 ounces, and the Vertuo Lattissima, which prepares several coffee sizes with an integrated milk system. The CitiZ is a better match when capsule format and espresso are the priority. Its tradeoff is exactly that focus: it doesn’t offer the larger Vertuo coffee sizes, and Original capsules are required. I’d choose it for an espresso-centered routine, but skip it if you want a full mug from one capsule.
Pros:- Makes espresso and lungo with Nespresso Original capsules
- Aeroccino3 froths hot or cold milk
- Programmable operation and automatic shutoff
- Compact design compared with larger coffee-and-milk systems
Cons:- Does not brew the larger coffee sizes available from Vertuo models
- Requires Nespresso Original capsules
- Milk frother is separate from the coffee machine
Best for: Espresso and lungo drinkers who prefer Nespresso Original capsules and want a separate milk frother
Not ideal for: Buyers who want large cups of coffee or prefer the Vertuo capsule system and its broader serving sizes
- Model:CitiZ
- Capsule compatibility:Nespresso Original
- Beverages:Espresso and lungo
- Pressure:19 bars
- Wattage:1710 watts
- Voltage:110 volts
- Dimensions:11.3 × 14.6 × 12.44 in (D × W × H)
- Included accessory:Aeroccino3 milk frother
Our verdict“Choose the CitiZ if your priority is Original-line espresso and lungo with milk frothing available as a separate step.”
Nespresso VertuoPlus Deluxe Coffee and Espresso Machine with Aeroccino Milk Frother
The VertuoPlus Deluxe pairs four brew sizes with an Aeroccino3 frother, so it suits households that switch between espresso, a longer coffee, and milk drinks. Its barcode-reading system sets the brew parameters for each compatible capsule, while the 60 oz reservoir means fewer refills than the 40 oz tank on the Vertuo Coffee and Espresso Maker with Aeroccino. It also heats in 15–20 seconds, making a quick cup easy. The tradeoff is the Vertuo capsule system: it does not take standard ground coffee or Original-style capsules. Its 17-capsule used pod capacity also means regular emptying. Choose this bundle for the larger reservoir and included frother; skip it if you want a narrower machine or more capsule flexibility.
Pros:- Brews four sizes, from espresso to 7.7 oz coffee
- 60 oz reservoir reduces refill frequency versus the Vertuo model with Aeroccino
- Aeroccino3 makes hot or cold milk foam
- Heats up in 15–20 seconds
Cons:- Accepts Nespresso Vertuo capsules only
- Used capsule container holds up to 17 capsules before emptying
Best for: Households that make several cup sizes and milk drinks and want fewer water-tank refills
Not ideal for: Buyers seeking standard ground coffee or Original-line capsule compatibility
- Model:VertuoPlus Deluxe (ENV155BAE)
- Brew sizes:1.35, 2.7, 5.0, and 7.7 oz
- Water reservoir:60 oz
- Included components:VertuoPlus Deluxe machine and Aeroccino3 milk frother
- Dimensions:5.6 × 16.7 × 12.8 in
- Weight:10.3 lb
- Heat-up time:15–20 seconds
- Capsule system:Nespresso Vertuo capsules
Our verdict“Pick the VertuoPlus Deluxe if you want a large water reservoir and an included frother for varied coffee and milk drinks.”
Nespresso Vertuo Coffee and Espresso Maker with Aeroccino Milk Frother, Chrome
This Vertuo bundle keeps the routine simple: insert a capsule, choose a cup, and let barcode-guided brewing set the parameters. It covers the same four listed sizes as the VertuoPlus Deluxe, and the included Aeroccino3 adds hot or cold milk foam without requiring a separate appliance. Automatic capsule ejection also helps keep the brew cycle tidy. Its 40 oz reservoir is smaller than the VertuoPlus Deluxe’s 60 oz tank, so frequent coffee drinkers will refill it more often. The Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe offers an additional listed size and a side-accessible tank, making it a better fit for buyers prioritizing those details. This model makes more sense for someone who values straightforward coffee and espresso options and accepts Vertuo-only capsules.
Pros:- Four listed brew sizes cover espresso through 7.7 oz coffee
- Aeroccino3 froths hot or cold milk
- Automatically ejects used capsules
- Adjustable cup support accommodates different cups
Cons:- 40 oz reservoir is smaller than the VertuoPlus Deluxe’s 60 oz tank
- Works with Nespresso Vertuo capsules only
Best for: New capsule-machine buyers who want straightforward coffee, espresso, and milk foam from one bundle
Not ideal for: Frequent multi-cup households that would benefit from the VertuoPlus Deluxe’s larger 60 oz reservoir
- Model:Vertuo (BNV250CRO1BUC1)
- Brew sizes:1.35, 2.7, 5.0, and 7.7 oz
- Water reservoir:40 oz
- Included components:Espresso maker and Aeroccino3 milk frother
- Dimensions:11.91 × 11.93 × 8.32 in
- Weight:4.9 kg
- Operation:Fully automatic
- Capsule system:Nespresso Vertuo capsules
Our verdict“Choose this Vertuo bundle for one-touch brewing and milk foam if its 40 oz tank suits your daily volume.”
Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe Coffee and Espresso Maker by De’Longhi, Black
The Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe is the space-conscious choice in this group, with a side-accessible tank and five listed cup sizes, including iced coffee. That extra size gives it more listed variety than the four-size Vertuo Coffee and Espresso Maker with Aeroccino, while its 37.2 oz tank keeps the footprint manageable. One-touch operation and automatic capsule ejection simplify daily use, though the roughly 30-second heat-up is longer than the 15–20 seconds listed for the VertuoPlus Deluxe. This version’s included components list a welcome capsule pack, not a milk frother, so buyers planning lattes should account for a separate frothing solution. It also accepts Vertuo capsules only. Pick it for a compact counter setup and iced coffee option; skip it if an included frother or a larger reservoir matters more.
Pros:- Five cup sizes include an iced coffee option
- Side-accessible water tank suits tighter counter arrangements
- One-touch brewing and automatic capsule ejection simplify operation
- Includes a welcome pack of Vertuo capsules
Cons:- No milk frother is listed among the included components
- 37.2 oz tank is smaller than the VertuoPlus Deluxe’s 60 oz reservoir
- Compatible with Nespresso Vertuo capsules only
Best for: Apartment dwellers who want a compact Vertuo machine with an iced coffee option
Not ideal for: Buyers who want an included milk frother or a larger water reservoir
- Model:Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe (ENV95BMC)
- Cup sizes:Five, including iced coffee
- Water tank:37.2 fl oz
- Dimensions:8.6 × 14 × 10.4 in
- Weight:7.9 lb
- Heat-up time:About 30 seconds
- Operation:Button controls; listed as semi-automatic
- Capsule system:Nespresso Vertuo capsules
Our verdict“Choose the Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe for compact brewing and iced coffee if you do not need an included frother.”
Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee and Espresso Maker by De’Longhi, Creamy White and Gold
The Vertuo Next stands out for its 18 oz coffee setting, alongside five other listed coffee and espresso sizes. That range suits buyers who want one machine for a short espresso and a large mug; the VertuoPlus Deluxe, by comparison, tops out at 7.7 oz in its listed brew sizes. Capsule recognition adjusts brewing for each Vertuo pod, while the 5.5-inch width helps it fit narrow counters. The 37 oz reservoir is modest for a machine aimed at large servings, so frequent brewing will mean more refills. This listing includes a starter capsule set but does not clearly list a frother, unlike the Vertuo Next bundle with Aeroccino3. Pick this version for size range and slim dimensions; skip it if milk drinks are a priority or you want broader capsule compatibility.
Pros:- Six listed coffee and espresso sizes, including 18 oz coffee
- Capsule recognition adjusts brewing parameters automatically
- 5.5-inch width fits narrow counter spaces
- Includes a starter capsule set
Cons:- 37 oz reservoir may require frequent refills for large or repeated servings
- Frother inclusion is unclear in this product listing
- Uses Nespresso Vertuo capsules only
Best for: Coffee drinkers who want both espresso and large 18 oz servings from a slim machine
Not ideal for: Milk-drink buyers who want an included frother or anyone seeking non-Vertuo capsule compatibility
- Model:Vertuo Next ENV120WG
- 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
- Included components:Coffee maker and starter capsule set
Our verdict“Pick this Vertuo Next if an 18 oz setting and narrow footprint matter more than an included frother.”
Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee Machine with Aeroccino3 Milk Frother, Creamy White
This Vertuo Next bundle combines a 5.5-inch-wide machine with an Aeroccino3 frother, giving narrow-counter kitchens a way to make espresso, large coffee servings, and hot or cold milk foam. Its listed coffee sizes run from 5 to 18 oz, plus single and double espresso, a broader size range than the VertuoPlus Deluxe’s listed 1.35 to 7.7 oz options. The VertuoPlus Deluxe counters with a much larger 60 oz reservoir; this Next has 37 oz, which can mean more refills if you regularly use its larger settings. It also uses plastic construction and accepts Vertuo capsules only. Choose this package over the Next listing without a clearly specified frother if milk drinks are part of your routine; choose the VertuoPlus Deluxe if tank capacity matters more than large mug sizes.
Pros:- Coffee sizes from 5 to 18 oz plus single and double espresso
- Includes Aeroccino3 for hot or cold milk foam
- 5.5-inch-wide design uses little counter width
- Includes a Vertuo pod starter set
Cons:- 37 fl oz tank is considerably smaller than the VertuoPlus Deluxe’s 60 oz reservoir
- Made primarily of plastic
- Compatible with Nespresso Vertuo capsules only
Best for: Narrow-counter households that want large coffee servings and an included frother for milk drinks
Not ideal for: High-volume coffee drinkers who want a large reservoir or buyers seeking non-Vertuo capsules
- Model:BNV570CRM1BUC1
- 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
- Weight:8.8 lb
- Included components:Aeroccino3 milk frother and Vertuo pod starter set
- Material:Plastic
- Capsule system:Nespresso Vertuo capsules
Our verdict“Choose this Vertuo Next package for a slim machine with large coffee settings and an included frother.”
Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee and Espresso Maker by Breville, Navy Blue
The Vertuo Next by Breville makes the most sense when counter width is the deciding factor: at 5.5 inches wide, it takes less room than the Vertuo Up while still brewing six coffee and espresso sizes, including 18-ounce coffee. Its capsule-reading Centrifusion brewing adjusts each cup automatically, so there are fewer settings to manage. The tradeoff is a smaller 1.1-liter tank than the Vertuo Up’s 47-ounce reservoir, which means more refills for frequent coffee drinkers. Like every Vertuo model here, it accepts only Vertuo capsules, and used capsules need to go through Nespresso’s recycling program. Choose it for a narrow counter and size flexibility; skip it if you want a larger reservoir or broader pod compatibility.
Pros:- Six brew sizes, including 18-ounce coffee and double espresso
- 5.5-inch width suits tight counter spaces
- Automatically adjusts brewing to each Vertuo capsule
- Removable water tank simplifies filling
Cons:- 1.1-liter tank needs regular refilling compared with the Vertuo Up’s 47-ounce reservoir
- Works only with Nespresso Vertuo capsules
- Used capsules require Nespresso program recycling
Best for: People with narrow counters who want both espresso and large-cup coffee from one machine
Not ideal for: High-volume households that want a larger water tank or buyers who prefer a wider choice of capsule systems
- Brand:Breville
- Model:Nespresso Vertuo Next
- Brew sizes:5, 8, 12, and 18 oz coffee; single and double espresso
- Capsule compatibility:Nespresso Vertuo capsules
- Water capacity:1.1 liters
- Dimensions:16.9 × 5.5 × 12.4 in
- Operation:Fully automatic
Our verdict“Pick the Vertuo Next if you need broad cup-size options in a particularly narrow machine and can live with frequent refills.”
Nespresso Vertuo Up Coffee and Espresso Maker by De’Longhi, White
The Vertuo Up is the clearest choice here for people who make iced coffee at home: its dedicated Coffee Creations mode brews a concentrated cup intended for iced drinks. It also starts in three seconds and lets you customize cup size and temperature through the app, conveniences the Vertuo Next by Breville does not list. The movable 47-ounce tank offers flexibility when counter layout makes a fixed reservoir awkward, though its capacity is not especially generous for a machine serving several people. Its 8.7-inch width also gives up some of the Next’s slim profile. It still uses Vertuo capsules exclusively, so this is a feature-rich fit for iced-coffee routines rather than a route to wider pod choice.
Pros:- Dedicated mode brews concentrated coffee for iced drinks
- Three-second start time
- Movable 47-ounce water tank
- App offers cup-size and temperature customization
Cons:- Vertuo capsule system limits pod choice
- Wider than the 5.5-inch Vertuo Next
- 47-ounce tank may need refilling in a busy household
Best for: Iced-coffee drinkers who want concentrated brewing and app-based cup adjustments
Not ideal for: Buyers with very narrow counters or those seeking compatibility with multiple capsule systems
- Model:ENV200W
- Brew sizes:5, 8, 12, and 18 oz coffee; single and double espresso
- Water tank capacity:47 fl oz
- Start time:3 seconds
- Capsule compatibility:Nespresso Vertuo
- Dimensions:15.4 × 8.7 × 10.1 in
- Warranty:1 year manufacturer
Our verdict“Choose the Vertuo Up if iced drinks and app adjustments matter more to you than a slim footprint.”
Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee and Espresso Maker by De’Longhi, Black
This Vertuo Next by De’Longhi keeps the same narrow 5.5-inch profile and six brew sizes as the Breville Vertuo Next, but its listed 37-ounce tank makes it a practical fit for someone who wants the compact format without prioritizing a large reservoir. Centrifusion reads the capsule and adjusts brewing, while the removable tank and drip tray make routine cleanup easier. Compared with the Vertuo Up, it gives up the iced-coffee mode and app-based customization, but takes up less counter width. The limited Vertuo-only capsule system remains a real constraint, and a 37-ounce tank will mean more refills than the older Vertuo’s 54-ounce reservoir. It suits solo drinkers and couples better than a busy shared kitchen.
Pros:- Six brew sizes cover espresso through 18-ounce coffee
- 5.5-inch width preserves counter space
- Centrifusion adjusts brewing to the capsule
- Removable tank and drip tray ease cleaning
Cons:- 37-ounce tank is smaller than the 54-ounce reservoir on the Vertuo ENV135B
- Compatible only with Nespresso Vertuo pods
- No dedicated iced-coffee mode or app customization is listed
Best for: Solo coffee drinkers or couples who want six brew sizes in a narrow machine
Not ideal for: Households making many cups a day or buyers who want iced-drink customization through an app
- Brew sizes:5, 8, 12, and 18 oz coffee; single and double espresso
- Technology:Centrifusion
- Capsule compatibility:Nespresso Vertuo
- Water tank capacity:37 fl oz
- Dimensions:16.9 × 5.5 × 12.4 in
- Weight:8.8 lbs
- Features:Auto shut-off; removable drip tray and tank
Our verdict“This Vertuo Next fits small households that want a slim machine with multiple cup sizes and accept its smaller tank.”
Nespresso Vertuo Coffee and Espresso Machine by De’Longhi, Piano Black
The Vertuo ENV135B earns its place for buyers who value a larger reservoir and less frequent capsule-bin emptying over newer connected features. Its 54-ounce water tank is larger than the Vertuo Next models’ listed capacities, and the used-capsule container holds up to 17 capsules. Barcode-reading Centrifusion sets brewing for each Vertuo capsule, with four listed cup sizes from espresso to 7.7-ounce coffee. That is a narrower range than the Next or Up, which also brew 12- and 18-ounce cups. Its 15–20 second heat-up is quick, but there is no milk frother listed, unlike the VertuoPlus Deluxe bundle. Choose this model for a straightforward Vertuo routine with more capacity between chores, not for large mugs or milk drinks.
Pros:- 54-ounce reservoir reduces refill frequency
- Used-capsule container holds up to 17 capsules
- Barcode reading adjusts brewing for each capsule
- 15–20 second heat-up
Cons:- Four listed cup sizes stop at 7.7 ounces
- No milk frother is listed
- Vertuo capsules are the only stated capsule input
Best for: Vertuo drinkers who want a larger water reservoir and used-capsule storage for everyday brewing
Not ideal for: People who prefer 12- or 18-ounce coffee, want app features, or need a milk frother included
- 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
- Dimensions:8.97 × 12.22 × 12.33 in
- Operation:Fully automatic
Our verdict“Pick the ENV135B if reservoir and capsule-bin capacity matter more than large coffee sizes or a milk frother.”
Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Coffee and Espresso Machine by De’Longhi, Black
The Vertuo Pop+ offers a compact, uncomplicated route to five drink sizes, including espresso and 12-ounce coffee. Its one-touch controls and app connectivity make it a straightforward alternative to the Vertuo Up, which adds iced-coffee concentration and temperature customization but is wider and more involved. A 30-second heat-up is quick enough for a simple morning routine, while the removable side tank makes refilling easier when the machine sits close to a wall. The main compromise is capacity: at 25.4 ounces, its tank is much smaller than the Vertuo ENV135B’s 54-ounce reservoir, so frequent brewing means frequent refills. It also brews no 18-ounce cup, and remains tied to Vertuo capsules. This is a compact pick for modest daily use.
Pros:- Five sizes include single and double espresso
- One-touch operation and 30-second heat-up
- Removable side water tank
- App connectivity and adjustable drip tray
Cons:- 25.4-ounce tank is smaller than the Vertuo ENV135B’s 54-ounce reservoir
- Largest listed coffee size is 12 ounces
- Works only with Nespresso Vertuo capsules
Best for: Solo drinkers who want one-touch brewing, app access, and espresso through 12-ounce coffee
Not ideal for: Families or frequent coffee drinkers who need a large reservoir or an 18-ounce brew size
- Coffee sizes:5, 8, and 12 oz coffee; single and double espresso
- Water tank capacity:25.4 fl oz
- Heat-up time:30 seconds
- Capsule compatibility:Nespresso Vertuo
- Dimensions:14 × 8.6 × 10.4 in
- Operation:Fully automatic, one-touch
- Features:App-controlled; auto shut-off; descaling alert; adjustable drip tray
Our verdict“Choose the Pop+ for a compact, connected one-touch routine if its small tank and 12-ounce maximum suit your daily cups.”
How We Picked
I ranked these machines around the decisions that change daily use: capsule system and drink range, the effort involved in making milk drinks, counter space, and routine cleaning. I gave more weight to versatile machines that suit a wider range of households, while recognizing that a focused espresso machine or compact model can be a better choice for a narrower need.
Within repeated families such as Vertuo Pop+, Vertuo Next, and VertuoPlus, I treated color and bundle differences as meaningful only when they changed the setup, such as adding an Aeroccino3. That keeps the ranking centered on practical differences rather than finishes. Models with integrated milk handling serve buyers who want fewer separate steps; machines with a standalone frother offer more flexibility but require another item on the counter. The ranking reflects those tradeoffs and the needs each machine serves best.
Factors to Consider When Choosing Best Nespresso Coffee Machines
Before choosing a machine, I would settle the capsule system and milk routine first. Those choices affect which drinks you can make, what accessories you need, and how much counter and cleaning space the setup will take.
Choose the capsule system around what you drink
Vertuo and Original machines use different capsule families, so choosing one shapes your available drink formats and capsule options. Vertuo is the better fit if you regularly want larger cups of coffee alongside espresso-sized drinks. Original is more directly aimed at espresso and espresso-based drinks, as shown by the CitiZ in this lineup. A common mistake is to choose by machine appearance and only later discover that the preferred capsules belong to the other system. Think about your usual cup size and the capsule selection you expect to buy before comparing machine bundles. If your household has different preferences, prioritize the system that serves the person who will use it most.
Decide how much milk preparation you want
A separate frother and an integrated milk system solve different problems. A standalone Aeroccino3 can be used alongside several compatible machine styles and kept separate from the coffee maker, but it takes counter space and adds a separate step. An integrated option such as the Vertuo Lattissima brings milk preparation into the machine workflow, which may suit frequent latte drinkers. That convenience comes with milk components that need regular cleaning. If you make milk drinks only now and then, a separate frother can be easier to justify than a built-in system. If they are part of your daily routine, weigh fewer preparation steps against the extra care an integrated system needs.
Match the machine footprint to your counter
Measure the space where the machine will sit, including room to open it and reach the water tank. Compact models such as the Vertuo Pop+ may suit tighter counters, while a bundled frother needs its own nearby space. Check the machine’s access points too: a narrow corner can make filling the tank or emptying used capsules inconvenient. Buyers often measure only the machine’s base and forget the clearance needed for everyday handling. If the machine will live under cabinets, account for the height and the space needed to open it. A slightly larger setup can be easier to live with if it is simple to refill and clean.
Compare bundles by what you will actually use
Some entries in this roundup pair a machine with an Aeroccino3, while other listings focus on the coffee maker alone. A bundle makes sense if you want milk drinks and do not already own a frother. If you mainly drink black coffee or espresso, an included accessory may add clutter without improving your routine. Compare the bundle contents with your kitchen equipment before choosing between variants of the same machine family. Also check the exact model and included accessories, since similar names can describe different packages. Let your drink habits drive the choice instead of treating every bundle as an automatic upgrade.
Plan for cleaning and regular upkeep
Convenient brewing still involves routine care: emptying used capsules, refilling water, and cleaning parts that contact coffee or milk. Milk systems need more frequent attention than machines used for black drinks, so an integrated frother should be judged by its upkeep as well as its convenience. Before buying, consider where used capsules will collect and whether you have a place to rinse detachable parts. A machine that is easy to reach and clean is more likely to fit a busy morning routine. Follow the maker’s care instructions and descaling schedule, since water hardness and use can affect how often maintenance is needed. Choose for the routine you are likely to keep, not an idealized version of it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose a Vertuo or Original machine if I mostly drink espresso?
If espresso is your main drink, the Original-system CitiZ is the clearest match among these picks. Vertuo machines add larger coffee formats, which are useful if you also want a full cup from the same machine. Check capsule availability and the drink sizes you expect to make before settling on a system, since the capsule families are not interchangeable. If different people in your home want different sizes, that broader household pattern may matter more than your personal espresso preference. Choosing the system first can prevent a mismatch between the machine and the capsules you want.
Is an integrated milk system worth choosing over an Aeroccino3?
It depends on how often you make milk drinks and how you feel about cleaning milk-contact parts. An integrated system such as the Vertuo Lattissima brings milk preparation into the machine, which can suit frequent latte drinkers. The Aeroccino3 is a separate appliance, so it takes extra space and a separate step, but it keeps the coffee machine itself simpler. Occasional milk drinkers may find a standalone frother easier to fit into their routine. Consider where you will rinse and store the parts as well as how quickly you want to prepare a drink.
Are the Vertuo Next models in this roundup meaningfully different?
The listed Vertuo Next options share the same machine family, while finishes and bundle contents vary. The Aeroccino3 bundle adds a separate way to prepare frothed milk; the finish alone does not change the capsule system or the machine’s core role. Check the exact listing to confirm which accessories are included and which color you prefer. If you already own a frother, choosing a machine-only configuration may suit your setup better. Compare the package contents before treating different Next listings as different brewing options.
What should I check before buying a compact Vertuo Pop+?
Measure the available counter space and check that you can still reach the water tank, capsule area, and used-capsule container. Then consider whether the machine’s drink range matches what you usually make and whether its water capacity suits the number of drinks prepared between refills. Some Pop+ bundles include an Aeroccino3, which needs space of its own. A compact machine may be a good fit for a small kitchen, but the full setup can occupy more space once accessories are included. Check the exact model and bundle rather than relying on the family name alone.
How do I decide whether a frother bundle is useful for my household?
Start with how often anyone in your home drinks cappuccinos, lattes, or other milk-based coffee. A bundle with an Aeroccino3 can make sense if you want that option and do not already have a frother. For households that mostly drink black coffee or espresso, the extra appliance may take space without adding much value to the routine. If several people have different preferences, a standalone frother can let each person choose milk or no milk without changing the coffee machine. Check the bundle contents and plan a storage spot before choosing between similar machine listings.
Conclusion
For the broadest fit, I recommend the VertuoPlus Deluxe with Aeroccino3 as best overall: it combines multiple Vertuo drink formats with a separate milk option. The CitiZ with Aeroccino3 is my best pick for espresso-focused buyers, while the Vertuo Pop+ suits kitchens where a smaller machine footprint matters. For beginners, I would start with a bundle that matches the drinks they already enjoy and includes a frother only if they expect to use it. Buyers who want milk preparation integrated into the machine should look at the Vertuo Lattissima and account for its extra cleaning needs. Choose by capsule system first, then narrow the options by milk routine, available counter space, and bundle contents.
