De'Longhi Vertuo Plus
Score: 68/100
Nespresso Vertuo
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Breville Nespresso Vertuo delivers rapid 15-20 second heat-up and uses Centrifusion technology to produce espresso with a natural crema, all in a compact chrome design. Its limitations include reliance on proprietary VertuoLine capsules, a modest water tank, and the absence of an integrated milk frother. Ideal for users who prioritize speed and convenience in a single-serve machine.
The De'Longhi VertuoPlus offers a motorized brew head, automatic capsule ejection and a generous 60 oz water tank, plus an Aeroccino frother for milk drinks. However, its reported 0 bar pump pressure and reliance on proprietary capsules limit espresso quality and flexibility. It suits users who want a convenient single-serve machine with a larger water reservoir but do not demand high-pressure espresso performance.
