Whoever tried Nespresso coffee quickly fell in love. While it is really easy to fall in love with Nespresso coffee it is not easy to choose the right Nespresso machine. There are so many different models and manufacturers. Today we will talk about two models of Naspresso machines VertuoPlus and VertuoPlus Deluxe
To know more about Nespresso machines and their coffee machine models, you need to know that Nespresso machines are not only produced by Nestle, whose brand is Nespresso. In the US, official partners and manufacturers of Nespresso machines are Breville and DeLonghi. With Nespresso machines VertuoPlus and VertuoPlus Deluxe you will notice only slight differences (primarily in design, not in functions) if it is a different manufacturer.
We will compare Nespresso coffee machines VertuoPlus vs VertuoPlus Deluxa by DeLonghi. This comparison also applies to VertuoPlus vs Deluxe if the manufacturer is Breville with slight design differences.

Differences between Nespresso VertuoPlus and VertuoPlus Deluxe
The Nespresso VertuoPlus and VertuoPlus Deluxe are essentially the same coffee machine. When placed side by side, it is impossible for you to tell which is which. The ‘Deluxe’ version of VertuoPlus by DeLonghi is the same machine as VertuoPlus
Are Breville Nespresso machines VertuPlus and VertuoPlus Deluxe better than Delonghi? In my experience, they are equally high quality coffee machines that make equally great coffee.
So which Nespresso espresso coffee machine to choose VertuoPlus or DeLuxe? Choose any version that is cheaper because it will give you the pleasure of drinking great, quickly prepared coffee without any effort.
If you like to drink coffee with frothy frothy milk, be sure to choose Nespresso VertuoPlus (Deluxe) with Aerochino. The Aerochino is a great milk frother for a very affordable price (especially if you buy it together with a Nespresso coffee machine) which will greatly expand your enjoyment of Nespresso coffee drinks.
Nespresso VertuoPlus vs Deluxe – Similarities
CENTRIFUSION Technology
What is Centrifusion Technology? Centrifusion combines the word centrifugal and infusion. This is a pretty cool thing that both the VertuoPlus and VertuoPlus Deluxe do. These machines spin the coffee pods up to 7000 revolutions per minute before water starts to penetrate through the pod and begin the infusion process. Afterward, the machines spin the pods again to release the remaining water leaving the pods dry. Thus, there are no spills and cleanups. Both the VertuoPlus and VertuoPlus Deluxe can store 10 used coffee pods before needing to empty.
Nespresso Coffee Capsules
As a single-serve coffee machine, of course, it uses coffee pods. Nespresso pods are more high-tech than other pods out in the market. These Nespresso machines can recognize the pod placed in them because the pods have barcodes. These barcodes tell the machines how to specifically brew the pod for precision brewing and the best result. Furthermore, unlike other pod-based coffee machines in the market, these Nespresso machines have a welcome kit filled with Nespresso Vertuo capsules so you can start brewing coffees out of the box. It is smart for Nespresso to include this kit since it introduces its users to coffee they may prefer; thus, they will buy more coffee pods from them.
Easy to Operate
The VertuoPlus and VertuoPlus Deluxe are the easiest coffee machines to operate. In contrast to other single-serve coffee machines with a lot of buttons, you can make an aromatic cup of coffee with literally a single push of a button. With the barcode feature mentioned above, these Nespresso machines do everything for you. You just have to pop a pod in, press the only button atop, then enjoy the coffee.
Frothy and Milky Coffee
For people like me who love milky and frothy coffee, you will be happy to know that these machines can be bought with the Aerocinno 3. When bundled, the Aerocinno is half of its retail price. That is why I recommend you buy the VertuoPlus and VertuoPlus Deluxe with the Aerocinno because it opens up a lot more coffee you can make.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- You can create a cup of barista-like coffee with just a press of a button.
- Both the VertuoPlus and VertuoPlus Deluxe have large water tanks.
- Their aluminum pods are recyclable.
- There is little to no cleanup required.
- You can let these Nespresso coffee machines do all setting and configuration due to its futuristic barcode feature.
- You can create a wide array of coffee, especially with the Aerocinno 3.
- Both include Nespresso pods out of the box with their welcome kit.
Cons:
- The Aerocinno 3 is only optional with the Deluxe version.
Final Verdict: VertuoPlus or Vertuo Deluxe?
Both the VertuoPlus and VertuoPlus Deluxe are a great way of upgrading your coffee machine that makes subpar coffees. The style and design of both Nespresso coffee machines are elegant and modern; thus, it will surely fit in any kitchen countertop. As we said earlier Nespresso VertuoPlus and Nespresso VertuoPlus Deluxe are the same machines without distinction and always choose the one that has a better price. Whichever you choose you will not go wrong.
