This Krups Nespresso machine is sold as a high tech system for the perfect cup of coffee each time. There are different pieces of tech involved in order to achieve this.

It all starts with the centrifusion extraction that spins the capsule of coffee with the water to blend it all together.

The Nespresso machine is also able to recognise each type of capsule by barcode so that it uses just the right processes and temperature for the job.

This helps to ensure that this is a hands-off system where users do as little as possible to make the coffee.

This is meant to be one-touch brewing where users can pick a size, pick between espresso and coffee and let the pod coffee machine do the rest.

There are also some nice elements to the hardware. One of the great things about the size options is that you can go as small as an espresso glass and as tall as a travel mug. An adjustable cup holder means it is easy to switch between these options.

The small size of the machine means that it fits into a kitchen with ease and looks good too. The tall, sleek capsule container on the side is surprisingly stylish, easy to use and it holds 13 capsules at a time.

Finally, users can achieve some great tasting cups of coffee once they find the capsule that is right for them. The Nespresso Vertuo blends the capsules nicely with a steady flow into the cups.

Longer coffees can end up a little weak to some tastes. There is some trial and error with the capsules but there should be something out there for all coffee lovers.


 

There isn’t much room to try new things with this Nespresso Vertuo – other than new capsules.

The first thing to mention with the downsides of this product is that this is there are limitations to this model compared to the plus model. The plus version is a larger product with a spinning water reservoir and a few more options.

One problem with choosing this compact model is that you can have black coffee and nothing else. There is no milk canister or frother. The one-touch system and barcode tech do also mean that there isn’t the same room for customisation as other products.

Then there is the problem of the use of capsules. First of all, capsules aren’t a great idea for all those that want to be eco-friendly in their choices.

The product comes with a set of 12 capsules – one of 12 different varieties – so that you can see what is available and choose a favourite. From there, you need to buy a set of the ones you like.

The barcode recognition system means that the device is only going to except Nespresso capsules, and this may not come cheap.

 

What does this all mean for the final verdict on this Nespresso Vertuo Espresso Machine?

There is a clear audience for this type of espresso machine. Coffee lovers that enjoy playing with settings, grinding beans and channelling their inner barista won’t do too well here. There is too much automation and not enough customisation.

However, those that love to try different pods and want a fully hands-off experience are sure to appreciate the potential of this coffee maker.

It is simple to use, full of clever tech and makes a great espresso once you find the right capsule. Therefore, this Nespresso Vertuo Coffee Machine is a good option in the right home.
