Is the Vertuo Plus worth it over a cheaper pod machine?

It is worth it if you want automatic brew-size detection and a motorized head. A basic machine costs less but makes you choose settings yourself and often brews only one size.

How is it different from the Vertuo Next?

The Vertuo Plus has a motorized head and a smaller footprint, while the Next is taller and adds Bluetooth and a larger tank on some versions. Both use the same Vertuo capsules.

Does it make regular coffee or only espresso?

It makes both. Vertuo capsules come in espresso, double espresso, gran lungo and full mug sizes, and the machine reads the barcode to pick the right brew.

Can I use original Nespresso capsules in it?

No. The Vertuo Plus takes only Vertuo-line capsules, which are wider and barcode-labeled. Original-line pods will not fit.

What comes in the box?

The machine and a starter set of Vertuo capsules are typically included. A milk frother is not included and is sold separately.

Its recent low was $162.49 on November 2, 2026, against a high of $211.25 on October 31, 2026. Holiday and back-to-school sales are the usual times for deeper discounts.

Our take on the De'Longhi Nespresso Vertuo Plus Coffee and Espresso Maker

The De'Longhi Nespresso Vertuo Plus is an automatic pod coffee and espresso maker that brews Nespresso Vertuo capsules at the touch of a button. It reads each capsule's barcode and sets brew size and strength itself, from a single espresso up to a large mug, and it uses a motorized head that opens and closes on its own. Its lowest recent price was $162.49 on November 2, 2026, down from a high of $211.25 on October 31, 2026, so the current low sits well below the top of that range.
