Features

Centrifusion Extraction (No Pump)Dedicated Iced Coffee Mode6 Cup SizesMulti-Position 47 oz Water TankNespresso Smart App Customization3-Second Fast Start

Pros

  • Ready to brew in about 3 seconds - among the fastest startups of any capsule machine
  • Coffee Creations button brews a more concentrated shot designed to stand up to ice
  • 47 oz water tank rotates to the back or either side to fit tight counters
  • App lets you tweak cup size and temperature per capsule, a first for entry Vertuo machines

Cons

  • Centrifugal spinning instead of a 19-bar pump - frothy crema, not true espresso
  • At $229 it costs nearly double the Vertuo Pop+ for the same core brewing
  • Locked into Nespresso's pricier Vertuo capsules with no third-party options
  • No milk frothing on board - lattes require a separate Aeroccino or frother
