Know before you buy
No, the VertuoPlus is exclusively compatible with Nespresso Vertuo capsules. It uses a unique barcode-reading technology to adjust brewing parameters, so it cannot accommodate the smaller, original-line pods.
The machine automatically adjusts brewing settings based on the capsule's barcode, but you can manually stop the flow early if you prefer a shorter, more concentrated shot. It does not allow for precise temperature or pressure adjustments.
The VertuoPlus has a flexible design with a movable water tank that can be positioned to the left, right, or back of the unit. It measures approximately 9.1 inches wide, making it a relatively compact option for most kitchen countertops.
No, the VertuoPlus is a standalone coffee and espresso maker. If you enjoy lattes or cappuccinos, you will need to purchase a separate Aeroccino frother or a similar milk-heating device.
You should run the machine's internal cleaning cycle periodically and descale it every few months, depending on your water hardness and usage. The machine will alert you when it is time to descale, and the process involves running a specific solution through the system to remove mineral buildup.
