Nespresso Vertuo Plus

Overview

The Nespresso Vertuo Plus is the premium Vertuo model, distinguished from the Next by its motorized opening mechanism — the head pivots open automatically when you press the lever, adding a touch of mechanical theater to the capsule-loading process. The Vertuo Plus uses the same Centrifusion barcode-reading technology as the rest of the Vertuo line, spinning capsules at high speed while injecting water to produce espresso and coffee with the signature thick, lasting crema that characterizes Vertuo extraction. The Plus features a larger 1.2-liter water reservoir, a chrome finish option, and a more substantial build quality compared to the Next. Five cup sizes are available from 40ml espresso to 414ml alto, with the machine automatically recognizing and optimizing for each capsule type. The used capsule container holds up to 13 pods before needing emptying. The one-touch brewing system makes operation completely foolproof — insert a capsule, close the head, press the button. The Vertuo Plus is available in several color options with chrome or matte finishes. For Nespresso enthusiasts who want the full Vertuo experience with the most refined hardware, the Plus delivers a slightly more premium daily ritual than the entry-level Vertuo models.

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

Priced at $200, the Nespresso Vertuo Plus 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 Plus is a substantial machine, weighing in at 4.2 kg, manufactured in Switzerland, drawing 1260W of power. With dimensions of 178 x 318 x 318 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. The built-in water reservoir holds 1200 ml, making it easy to set up anywhere in your kitchen.
