Nespresso Vertuoline With Aeroccino Plus Automatic Milk Frother – Final Review

The Nespresso coffee machines are expensive. True. I accept that. But to me, quality has a cost. I am prepared to pay for it in certain circumstances.

My Nespresso machine serves reasonably good tasting coffee with minimal effort. Just insert the pods and place the cup for a hot cup of pure crema.

I am talking about Nespresso Vertuoline with Aeroccino plus automatic milk frother by De’Longhi.

Nespresso Vertuoline with Aeroccino Plus Review:

Design of Nespresso Vertuoline:

• The Nespresso Vertuo machine comes with a modern and sleek design. It is quite similar to other models of the brand. But it is more elegant to look at.
• The machine is a bit bulky. It has slightly larger than 1.5L tank. But you can easily place the tank on the back, left or right of the device depending on your workspace.
• Yes the machine takes up a little more space.
• You can adjust the cup rest in four positions to accommodate any type of cup.
• The spout does not let dripping on the counter. It collects drops of coffee if there is any. So you do not have a dirty kitchen counter.

I want to say the Vertuo Nespresso has been thought and designed to bring a note of elegance and originality to your kitchen interior.

Technology Used In Vertuoline Coffee Machine

The technology behind the Vertuo coffee machine is to quickly spin the metal pods filled with ground beans. The centrifusion technology used in Nespresso Vertuoline coffee machine is amazing.

What is Centrifusion in Nespresso Vertuoline single serve brewer & espresso maker?

This is the name of the technology that Nespresso uses in its coffee machines, and it’s quite impressive.

Once you press the button, the machine will start spinning the capsule at 7,000 revolutions per minute (RPM) to blend your mixture to perfection. It will even produce cream if you ask the unit to do so. All in all, this is a great layer of tech for a home brewer.

The machine heats up in just 15 seconds. That is quite impressive.

The ease of use – Nespresso Vertuo

• The Nespresso Vertuo machine is arguably the easiest coffee maker to use right now. Unlike the Pixie and Inissia models, it only has a single button that turns it on, off and starts brewing coffee.
• The machine incorporates an optical barcode reader which allows it to recognize each Vertuo capsule and automatically adjust the extraction parameters.
• So you don’t have to do much other than choosing and inserting your Vertuo capsule.
• Your Nespresso Vertuo will automate the extraction parameters by adjusting the flow rate, volume and temperature of the water, the duration of infusion of the ground coffee as well as the rotation speed of the capsule.
• Opening and closing of this Nespresso machine is facilitated by an electric motor. The coffee maker opens at the push of a button, leaving you free to insert your capsule.
• Also keep in mind that the ejection of used capsules is 100% automatic.
• Whether you are lazy or busy, you have to pay very little effort for a cup of latte, coffee or espresso.

The ease of maintenance of the Nespresso Vertuo machine

One of the biggest advantages of the Nespresso Vertuo Plus is, very easy to maintain. All of its components are removable and are dishwasher safe. We recommend that you prioritize hand washing to ensure their durability.

Advantages of Nespresso Vertuo Coffee Machine

• It benefits from a new infusion and extraction technology called “La Centrifusion”. This technology allows you to achieve tasty and creamy coffee, cup after cup.

• The Vertuo coffee maker also incorporates an automatic standby function which activates after 9 minutes of inactivity. The user can extend this time to 30 minutes.
• Finally, remember that the Vertuo machine is silent and does not consume much energy.

Disadvantages of the Nespresso VertuoLine Coffee Machine

• Only works with Nespresso Vertuo capsules.
• High price of Nespresso Vertuo capsules.
• Lack of a water level indicator.
• Price of the machine is high.

As everyone says, perfect temperature for espresso / coffee should be 195 – 205 degrees which is ideal. Nespresso Vertuoline serves coffee at 175 degrees temperature. I found it quite reasonable and didn’t have any issue with tastes.

How to use the Nespresso Vertuo coffee maker?

• The overall handling has been simplified compared to previous machines.
• First of all, the opening of the coffee maker is automatic. That is to say that we start the movement (we raise slightly, we lower a little) and the machine does the rest. It also ejects the used capsule.
• In addition, the Nespresso Vertuo only has one single button, because there is nothing to do. Two new technologies are combined to make brewing the perfect coffee a snap.
• The brand new Nespresso Vertuo capsules have a barcode that the machine reads. From there, the coffee maker itself manages the amount of water, temperature, etc. We have nothing to do!
• Then, in order to allow the preparation of great coffees without losing any quality, Nespresso developed the Centrifusion technology. This is a better diffusion of water and a rotation of the capsules so that the coffee is good, whatever the amount of water used.
• To make a coffee, just place the capsule, place a cup and start.
