I’m a huge fan of Nespresso machines for their ease of preparing a quick cup of espresso that doesn’t stray too far from what you would get in a coffee shop. As long as you know their limitations, these machines will offer you great bang for the buck. Because so many different people have their own personal coffee preferences, many different types of Nespresso machines exist today. This can make choosing your next Nespresso machine a bit difficult. Blindly purchasing one may give you some degree of satisfaction, but going deep to the specs and capabilities will help you find your perfect match.

Review: Nespresso Vertuo Plus
The Nespresso Vertuo Plus is one such example of a Nespresso machine that caters to a very specific set of preferences. In fact, it can be one of the best choices for a sub-$200 budget if your needs closely align with this coffee pod machine’s strengths.
About the Nespresso Vertuo Plus
The Nespresso Vertuo Plus is a variant of the original Nespresso Vertuo. The original Vertuo made its debut in 2014 as a coffee pod machine with a revolutionary extraction technology called “Centrifusion” which spins the coffee pod at 7,000 rpm while infusing the coffee grounds within the pod with hot water. This patented technology is Nespresso’s approach for generating silkier crema to improve the texture and flavor of the extracted coffee which opens up the possibility of larger cup sizes. Nespresso created the “Plus” variant for folks who are willing to trade some small spec reductions for extra usability improvements and a lower cost of entry.
Features
Like other classic Nespresso machines, the Nespresso Vertuo Plus can create a single or double shot espresso from a compatible coffee pod in less than a couple of minutes. But because of the Centrifusion technology exclusive to Vertuo models, the Vertuo Plus can support 5-ounce and 8-ounce cups. Gran Lungo fans rejoice!
Larger coffee servings mean larger coffee pods too so the Vertuo Plus won’t support the original Nespresso pods and vice-versa. At the same time, the Vertuo Plus sticks with its Nespresso essence by making the machine a one-button operation. The Vertuo Plus and its other Vertuo cousins have the unique ability to read a special bar code on the pod’s rim and translate it to special brewing instructions which gives you the exact amount of coffee as indicated in the pod packaging. You can also customize the serving by holding that button which triggers a manual dispense mode.
Vertuo vs. Vertuo Plus
Contrary to the name, the Nespresso Vertuo Plus doesn’t build upon the original model, but instead side steps into a completely different product. The design looks sleeker although still nearly as heavy as the original, but features a redesigned water reservoir that you can swivel left or right to a convenient position relative to its placement on your counter.
Overall Thoughts: Nespresso Vertuo Plus
The real value of the Nepresso Plus is its $199 price tag and that’s still without the price drops. On sale, the price could dip under $150, which is an excellent deal especially for folks who never tried a Nespresso product. Just remember, the ability to make larger cups of coffee is the main attraction of the Vertuo series and the Vertuo Plus is a terrific value for what it can do. But if you are still open for other Nespresso options, head to my guide to choosing a Nespresso machine!
