Nespresso Vertuo Next

Overview

The Nespresso Vertuo Next is the flagship of Nespresso's Vertuo line, featuring the Centrifusion extraction technology that spins capsules at up to 7,000 RPM while infusing them with water — a unique approach that produces a distinctive thick crema layer on both espresso and larger coffee drinks. The Vertuo Next reads barcodes on each capsule to automatically adjust brewing parameters including water volume, temperature, and spin speed, ensuring optimal extraction for each of the five cup sizes: espresso (40ml), double espresso (80ml), gran lungo (150ml), mug (230ml), and alto (414ml). This versatility sets the Vertuo system apart from the original Nespresso line, which focused exclusively on espresso. The Next features Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity for firmware updates and the Nespresso app, a one-touch operation system, and an automatic capsule ejection mechanism. The slim design is made partly from recycled materials, reflecting Nespresso's sustainability commitments. The 1.1-liter water tank is adequate for several drinks. While capsule coffee will never satisfy purists, the Vertuo Next delivers remarkable consistency and convenience — every cup is identical, requiring zero skill, zero cleanup, and zero coffee knowledge.

It features a thermoblock boiler system. The none pump delivers consistent pressure for optimal extraction. It uses a Vertuo Capsule group head.

Priced at $180, the Nespresso Vertuo Next is designed for budget-conscious beginners and casual coffee drinkers. As a pod/capsule machine, it prioritizes convenience and consistency, delivering quality espresso with minimal effort.

In terms of build quality, the Nespresso Vertuo Next is a substantial machine, weighing in at 4.0 kg, manufactured in Switzerland, drawing 1260W of power. With dimensions of 140 x 427 x 314 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. The built-in water reservoir holds 1100 ml, making it easy to set up anywhere in your kitchen.
