Nespresso Vertuo Machines for Coffee and Espresso

If you're a fan of both mellow coffees and strong espressos, look for a Nespresso Vertuo machine that brews both with just the touch of a button. With a heat up time of under 30 seconds and convenient capsules in two sizes, espresso makers from the Nespresso VertuoLine series, manufactured in collaboration with Breville and De'Longhi, quickly deliver all your favorite caffeinated beverages so you can get ahead of the morning rush. Elevate your daily coffee routine by enjoying a specialty coffee flavor over breakfast. Simply place an espresso pod into the top of your Vertuo Nespresso and let the machine do the rest. Pour your beverage into a clear glass mug and top with milk froth from an Aerrocino frother to create an enticing layered masterpiece. Hosting a meal with friends? Allow guests to choose their favorite blend from the available capsules, then prepare their drinks with the help of your speedy Nespresso Vertuo machine and bring them out on a sturdy wooden serving tray. Read on to learn more about the different Nespresso VertuoLine models and their benefits before choosing one for yourself.

• Nespresso Vertuo: The first of the brand's combination coffee and espresso machines, the original Nespresso Vertuo machine has maintained popularity over the years, due in large part to its reliability and quality results. Thanks to a high-powered heating system, this model takes just 15 seconds to warm up, and its extra-long cord makes it easy to reach an outlet from wherever you place it. Plus, this VertuoLine release has a slightly larger spent capsule capacity than later models so that you don't have to empty the grounds as frequently.
• Nespresso Vertuo Plus: While the Nespresso Vertuo Plus shares many of the original Vertuo's best qualities, this later release does have a few key differences. For one, the Vertuo Plus features a swiveling water tank that can be positioned alongside or behind the main body of the machine depending on your countertop configuration. For another, this model automatically opens and closes the pod chamber with the touch of a button for effortless brewing; plus, when your drink is done, the capsule ejects automatically, too. If you've got more than one coffee drinker in the house, also consider the Nespresso Vertuo Plus Deluxe, which features a larger, 60-ounce water tank that decreases the refill frequency.
• Nespresso Vertuo Next: For those who are always up to date on the latest tech, the Nespresso Vertuo Next is both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth compatible. By connecting this model to the Nespresso app on your smartphone, you will receive notifications letting you know when it's time to order more pods, plus automatic updates to your Vertuo Next to keep its system running smoothly. Unlike the other models, the Nespresso Vertuo Next can also brew a traditional carafe of coffee as well as individual cups, making it ideal for office settings or entertaining.

No matter which Nespresso Vertuo machine you choose, you'll be enjoying rich, creamy coffee and espresso in no time. Creating a bridal gift registry?
