Nespresso Coffee and Espresso Maker, Navy Blue
Product description
What matters most
Want one machine to handle both a quick espresso and a larger coffee without taking over the counter? The Nespresso Vertuo Next by Breville is 5.5 inches wide and brews six sizes, from single and double espresso to 18-ounce coffee. Its navy blue finish and partially recycled materials add a design and sustainability angle, while each drink is topped with crema.
It suits you if you want several drink sizes from a capsule machine and are happy to stick with the Vertuo system.
How to use it
Choose a Vertuo capsule for the drink you want, then select a size: the listed coffee options are 5, 8, 12, and 18 ounces, alongside single and double espresso. That range makes the machine useful for switching from an espresso after dinner to a larger mug in the morning, rather than keeping separate equipment for each. The included starter set gives you capsules to try, though the assortment may vary.
Capsule choice is also the main constraint. The machine is designed for Nespresso Vertuo capsules, including Starbucks by Nespresso Vertuo capsules, it does not offer broad compatibility with other capsule systems. If you already have a stash from a different system, those capsules are not a reason to choose this model.
Practical tips
Think about your usual cup before focusing on the maximum size. If you mostly drink espresso, the single and double options may matter more than the 18-ounce setting, if you like a full mug at your desk, the larger coffee sizes are the more relevant feature. Nespresso lists more than 40 permanent Vertuo coffees, ranging from dark and strong to mild and smooth, plus limited editions, so there is a range of flavors to explore within the same capsule format.
Ten en cuenta que the listed 5.5-inch width does not tell you the machine’s full footprint: if counter clearance is tight, you cannot judge its height or depth without that measurement. The slim design may help with a narrow spot, but leave room based on the complete dimensions before settling on a location.
Nespresso says its aluminum capsules can be recycled through its free program. That is useful if capsule waste is part of your buying decision, but it does mean recycling involves using that program rather than treating the capsules like ordinary coffee grounds. It might not be a great match if you want to use loose grounds or capsules from multiple brands.
Questions before you buy
Which capsules work with this machine? It is made for Nespresso Vertuo capsules, including Starbucks by Nespresso Vertuo capsules. The product information does not list compatibility with other capsule systems.
What drink sizes can it make? It lists 5-, 8-, 12-, and 18-ounce coffees, plus single and double espresso. The machine is described as brewing six sizes in total.
Does it come with coffee to try? Yes. A complimentary starter or tasting set is included, but the capsule assortment may vary.
Final verdict
The Vertuo Next makes sense for someone who wants espresso and several coffee sizes from one compact-width machine and is comfortable buying within the Vertuo capsule range. Its 5.5-inch width is a specific advantage for a tight counter, and the included starter set offers a way to sample the format. Choose a different approach if capsule flexibility, ground coffee, or a fully stated set of machine dimensions is essential to your decision.
