Does it take Original Nespresso capsules?

No. It only uses Vertuo capsules, which are wider and carry a barcode the machine reads. Original line pods will not fit.

What cup sizes can it make?

Five: espresso, double espresso, gran lungo, mug coffee and alto. The capsule's barcode sets the size and brew parameters automatically.

Do I need to adjust settings for different coffees?

No. The machine reads each capsule's barcode and adjusts water volume, temperature and spin speed on its own.

No. There is no steam wand or built-in frother; Nespresso sells a separate Aeroccino for milk.

How often do I refill the water tank?

The tank is small, so expect to refill every few cups, more often if you brew alto or mug sizes.

Is it good for espresso or for large coffees?

Both. It pulls a genuine espresso shot and also brews larger mug and alto coffees, which most budget single-serve machines cannot do.

What reviewers say

Owners like the convenience and the crema, and most find the coffee consistent cup to cup. Complaints center on noise, small tank and capsule bin, and machines that stopped working after months of use.

What people mention

NoiseCriticisedOwners say the spin and pump cycle is noticeably loud, especially in a small kitchen.
CremaPraisedReviewers like the thick layer of crema the Centrifusion brewing produces.
Ease of usePraisedInsert a capsule, close the lever and press; barcode reading removes any guesswork.
Capsule lock-inCriticisedIt only accepts Vertuo pods, so buyers are tied to Nespresso's capsule range.
ReliabilityCriticisedSome owners report the machine failing or leaking after several months.
CapacityMixedThe water tank and used-capsule container are small, so heavy drinkers refill and empty often.

About the Nespresso Vertuo Next Premium Espresso Machine by DeLonghi

The Nespresso Vertuo Next by DeLonghi is a single-serve coffee and espresso machine with a compact footprint for a kitchen or office countertop. It makes alto, mug/coffee, gran lungo, espresso and double espresso sizes using small, medium and large capsules. Capsules are included with purchase.

Use the small capsule for espresso, the medium capsule for gran lungo and double espresso, and the large capsule for alto and mug/coffee. To brew, insert a capsule, close the lever and let the machine do the rest.

Automatic blend recognition reads a barcode on the rim of each capsule and adjusts the brewing settings for that blend. With Centrifusion extraction, the capsule is spun rapidly to blend the ground coffee with water and produce coffee, crema and espresso without manual setting changes. An automatic power-off function shuts the machine down minutes after the last coffee is brewed.
