Nespresso Vertuo Pop+

Overview

The Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ refreshes the ultra-compact Pop platform with updated internals and a broader color palette for 2024. This is Nespresso's most affordable Vertuo machine, designed to make capsule coffee accessible at the lowest possible entry price without sacrificing the centrifusion brewing technology that defines the Vertuo system. Capsule barcodes are read automatically to configure spinning speed, water temperature, and brew time for each specific coffee variety. Five cup sizes are supported — espresso, double espresso, gran lungo, mug, and alto — all from the same machine. The 600ml reservoir is compact, requiring more frequent refills but enabling the tiny footprint that makes the Pop+ suitable for nightstands, desks, and the smallest kitchens. Heat-up time is approximately 30 seconds. The auto-off eco feature activates after two minutes. Available in up to ten colors including bold options like mango yellow and pacific blue, the Pop+ serves as an entry point to the Vertuo ecosystem for budget-conscious coffee drinkers and makes an excellent gift.

It features a thermoblock boiler system made of plastic. The vibratory pump delivers 19.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction. It uses a Nespresso Vertuo group head.

Priced at $129, the Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ 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 Pop+ is a substantial machine, weighing in at 3.2 kg, manufactured in Switzerland, drawing 1260W of power. With dimensions of 136 x 256 x 246 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. The built-in water reservoir holds 600 ml, making it easy to set up anywhere in your kitchen.
