Our take on the De'Longhi Nespresso Vertuo Plus Coffee and Espresso Machine
The Vertuo Plus is De'Longhi's build of Nespresso's Vertuo line: a pod machine that brews both full-size coffee and espresso. It reads a barcode on each capsule and sets brew length, temperature and spin speed automatically, so there are no grind or dose decisions. It suits people who want one-button coffee and espresso without a grinder or portafilter. Against Keurig it brews richer espresso-style shots and larger coffees with crema; against Nespresso's OriginalLine it is more versatile but locks you into Vertuo pods, which cost more per cup than OriginalLine capsules.
- Brews both coffee and espresso from one machine
- Barcode reading sets each capsule's brew automatically
- Centrifusion spinning builds a thick crema
- Motorized head opens and closes with a touch
- Heats up quickly for back-to-back cups

Questions and answers
- Does it make regular coffee as well as espresso?
- Yes. Vertuo capsules come in coffee sizes up to a full mug as well as espresso and double espresso. The machine reads each capsule's barcode and brews it at the right size.
- Can it use OriginalLine Nespresso pods?
- No. It only takes Vertuo capsules, which are wider and barcode-read. OriginalLine pods do not fit.
- Do I need to froth milk separately?
- Yes. There is no steam wand or milk circuit, so cappuccinos and lattes need a separate frother or heated milk.
- How fast does it heat up?
- It reaches brewing temperature in roughly half a minute, so you can pull several cups in a row without long waits.
- Is it worth it over a Keurig?
- If you want espresso-style shots and crema, yes. Keurig brews drip-style coffee only. If you mostly drink plain large coffees and want cheap pods, Keurig is the simpler fit.
- What comes in the box?
- The machine and a starter set of Vertuo capsules. A milk frother is not included.
