What capsule sizes does the Vertuo Next brew?

It brews Vertuo line capsules in espresso, double espresso, gran lungo, mug and alto sizes. Each pod's barcode tells the machine the right volume and brew settings.

Does it work with the Nespresso app?

Yes. It connects over Wi-Fi for firmware updates, descaling steps and remote brewing start. The machine still works without the app.

Is there a milk frother included?

No. Milk frothing is separate; Nespresso sells the Aeroccino and Barista devices for that. The machine itself only brews coffee.

How does it compare with the VertuoPlus?

The Next is narrower and adds app control, but the VertuoPlus has a larger tank and a motorized head that opens and closes on its own. Both use the same Vertuo capsules.

How often do I need to descale it?

Nespresso generally advises descaling every few months depending on water hardness and use. The app and the machine's indicator light tell you when it is due.

Can I use original Nespresso capsules in it?

No. The Vertuo Next only takes Vertuo capsules, which are wider than Original line pods. Original capsules fit the Essenza, Citiz and similar machines.
