Best for
Shoppers who want a pink machine

Best for
Bright setups that want a white finish

Best for
Small desks and quick late-night cups

The Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Coffee and Espresso machine by De’Longhi in Black is the most fully described Pop+ listing here. It brews five formats: 5, 8 and 12oz coffees plus single and double espressos, hot or over ice. The listing highlights a 30 second heat up time, a descaling alert, an adjustable drip tray and a removable 25 fl. oz water tank mounted on the side, which makes refills easy when the machine is tucked under a shelf or next to a monitor.

Specifications list it as app-controlled with auto shut-off and one-touch precision brewing, running at 1500 watts on 120 volts. Its compatible capsules include Vertuo Coffee (Mug), Double Espresso, Espresso and Gran Lungo. The listing says the Pop+ reads a code on each Vertuo capsule and uses Nespresso’s Centrifusion technology, and a complimentary tasting pack comes in the box, with the assortment varying.

This model suits gamers and streamers with a small desk or room who want coffee fast and do not need a huge mug. Where it gives way to the Vertuo Next is cup size: the Pop+ tops out at 12oz, while the Next adds an 18oz coffee.

• Five cup sizes including hot or iced options
• 30 second heat up with descaling alert
• Side-mounted removable 25 fl. oz tank
• App-controlled with auto shut-off

The Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee & Espresso maker by De’Longhi in Black is the answer if your mug is big. It brews six formats: 5, 8, 12 and 18oz coffees plus single and double espressos, hot or over ice. The listing calls it the most compact, sustainable and smart Vertuo machine yet, made partly from recycled materials and only 5.5 inches wide.

Its specifications list adjustable cup size, auto shut-off, Centrifusion technology, a removable drip tray and a removable tank, with a stated capacity of 37 fluid ounces. That is a larger listed reservoir than the Pop+ tank, so you refill less often during a long evening. Power is 1500 watts on 120 volts, and a complimentary tasting pack is included. One odd detail: the compatible pods field lists only Vertuo Espresso, even though the feature text describes coffee sizes up to 18oz, so the field looks incomplete rather than restrictive.

This is our pick for players who want one large coffee to last a whole match session and still need a narrow footprint. If you want a side-loading tank or the app control named in the Pop+ listing, the Pop+ is the better match. If you are still deciding between capsule systems, our guide to the Nespresso single serve coffee maker range goes wider than the Vertuo line.

The Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Coffee & Espresso maker by Breville in Coconut White shares the Pop+ core: five cup sizes of 5, 8 and 12oz coffee plus single and double espresso, hot or over ice, a 30 second heat up, a descaling alert, an adjustable drip tray and a 25 fl. oz side tank. The capacity field reads 0.75 liters, which lines up with that 25 fl. oz tank.

Its specification list is thinner than the Black Pop+ listing. It names only the removable tank under special features and does not repeat the app control or auto shut-off claims, though the description says the machine is always connected and updates automatically. Power is 1500 watts, and it reads the code on each Vertuo pod to set the brew.

Choose this finish if you want the compact Pop+ in a light color that fits a white desk or a clean kitchen. The Nespresso by Breville versus Nespresso by De’Longhi label reflects which partner manufactures the machine; the listings for the two Pop+ versions describe the same brew sizes and tank.

The Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Coffee & Espresso maker by De’Longhi in Pink is the color pick of the group. Its listing has no feature bullets, but the specifications match the Black De’Longhi Pop+: 30 second heat up, app control, auto shut-off, one-touch precision brewing and a removable tank, at 1500 watts on 120 volts.

The description confirms five cup sizes from Espresso to Alto and a cold brew style coffee, a side-access water tank and a compact body, and it says the machine reads each pod’s code. Compatible capsules are listed as Vertuo Coffee (Mug), Double Espresso, Espresso and Gran Lungo. The listing does not specify the tank size, although the other Pop+ listings put it at 25 fl. oz.

This suits players who treat their setup as part of the experience and want the machine to match colored peripherals or room lighting. Functionally it sits alongside the other Pop+ versions, so pick it for the finish.

The Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee and Espresso maker by De’Longhi in White brews six cup sizes, hot or over ice, in the same 5.5-inch slim body made with partially recycled materials. The listing credits Centrifusion technology for extraction and crema, one-touch operation with automatic capsule recognition, and a capsule sample pack plus a voucher in the box.

This listing contains some claims to treat with care. It says a milk frother is included but adds “if applicable”, which leaves it unclear whether one is actually in the box. It lists the voltage as 110 volts, while the other Next listings say 120 volts, and it names the machine as programmable. It also says the machine works with Vertuo capsules and select pods from another coffee brand, which you should confirm are Vertuo-format before buying. The listing does not specify tank capacity.

Pick this version if you want the six-size Next in a neutral white finish. If the frother matters to you, confirm what ships before ordering, and if a slim side tank and app control top your list, the Pop+ is the stronger fit.

The Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee and Espresso maker by De’Longhi in Creamy White and Gold is the dressiest option in this set. It brews the same six Vertuo Next sizes, hot or over ice, and its specifications list adjustable cup size, app control, Centrifusion technology, a removable drip tray and a removable tank with a 37 fluid ounce capacity.

It is the only listing here with full dimensions: 16.9 inches deep, 5.5 inches wide and 12.4 inches tall. That depth matters on a shallow desk, so measure before buying. Wattage is listed as 1260 watts, lower than the 1500 watts on the other listings. Like the White Next, it mentions a milk frother “if applicable” and a sample pack and voucher, so the frother remains uncertain.

This version suits players who want the six-size Next and a premium look. Among the Vertuo colors on offer, it is the finish most likely to read as a design piece rather than an appliance.
