Nespresso Vertuo Plus Deluxe Coffee & Espresso Maker (with Aeroccino Milk Frother) by De’Longhi, Matte Black
Product description
The essentials
If you want single-serve coffee and espresso-style drinks without a lot of measuring, this Nespresso Vertuo Plus Deluxe by De’Longhi is built around the “press a button” idea. On paper, it’s designed for quick daily servings—hot coffee, espresso, and even iced drinks—plus it includes the Aeroccino milk frother for adding that café-style milk finish.
One thing to keep in mind: this kind of machine shines when you use it regularly and stick with Nespresso capsules. If you’re looking for full control like a traditional espresso setup, or you rarely make drinks, it may feel a bit restrictive. But if your goal is convenience first (and good variety without the guesswork), it’s the sort of brewer that can fit into a busy routine.
Key takeaways (what you’ll notice day to day)
The Vertuo Plus Deluxe is positioned as a do-it-all single serve system for coffee and espresso-inspired drinks. You’re not just picking “coffee” and hoping for the best—you’re choosing drink sizes/programs with the touch of a button. The machine also includes a 25-second heat up time and an energy-saving automatic shut-off, which matters more than people think when you’re moving fast in the morning and don’t want to leave it running.
Drink flexibility is a major part of the pitch here. You can make multiple cup sizes (including 5oz and 8oz coffee) and espresso options, and it’s also set up for iced preparation—so you can pour over ice to create iced coffee and latte-style drinks.
And because milk matters for a lot of orders, the included Aeroccino3 frother is a straightforward add-on. It’s meant to produce smooth hot or cold milk froth quickly with one touch, making it easier to switch from black coffee to something creamier without extra tools.
What it’s good for
This is a convenience-focused home machine for people who want single-serve drinks that feel “ready when you are.” A practical example: imagine coming back from a busy morning, dropping a capsule in, choosing your drink size, and waiting while it heats and brews. Then, if you want a latte, you’d hit the frother one-touch option, pour the hot or cold froth over your drink, and you’re done.
If you’re the type who likes options—bold one day, mild the next, and iced when the weather flips—this brewer’s program variety and size settings are the reason to consider it.

What to know before buying
Capsules are the backbone of this setup. The machine’s convenience and one-touch approach rely on Nespresso capsules, so it’s less suitable if you prefer grinding beans, measuring doses, or brewing with your own coffee grounds.
Also, the “drink variety” promise is mainly about the drink sizes and programs listed, along with iced pouring guidance. If your expectations lean toward high-end espresso extraction control or very specific coffee profiles, the machine may feel like it’s staying in a simpler, capsule-driven lane.
Finally, the listing notes that the complimentary starter set of capsules is included, but the assortment may vary from the picture. That’s normal for starter packs, but it’s worth noting if you’re hoping for a specific capsule mix right away.
Is it worth it?
Buy it if you want single-serve coffee and espresso-style drinks at the push of a button, value quick heat up (25 sec) and energy-saving automatic shut-off, and plan to use Nespresso capsules as your main brewing method. It also makes sense if you regularly enjoy milk drinks, since the included Aeroccino3 frother is designed for smooth hot or cold froth in seconds.
Skip it if you’re mainly after traditional espresso craftsmanship, want to use your own grounds, or you rarely make coffee enough to justify a capsule system. It may not suit you if you expect the machine to replace a hands-on brewing setup—this is convenience-first, and that trade-off is real.
