Nespresso Vertuo Next by DeLonghi (Creamy White with Gold) Coffee and Espresso Maker
Product description
If you want coffee at the push of a button, the Nespresso Vertuo Next by DeLonghi is built for exactly that kind of everyday routine. It’s a Vertuo machine that aims to keep things compact while still covering both coffee and espresso-style drinks—hot or over ice.
At a glance, the big question is simple: are you the type of buyer who’s happy with capsule convenience in exchange for consistency? If that sounds like you, this is the model worth putting on your shortlist.
The essentials
Vertuo Next is a Nespresso capsule machine designed to brew “signature” coffees and espresso drinks using Vertuo capsules only. The pitch here isn’t complicated brewing—it's repeatable results in multiple cup sizes.
The machine supports 6 coffee sizes, including 5, 8, 12, and 18oz coffee formats, plus single and double espressos. That range matters because it lets you move between a quick smaller cup, an average mug, or a longer pour without changing your setup.
It also includes hot and over-ice options for certain espresso-style drinks, which is a practical detail for warmer days (or when you just don’t want hot coffee).
Where the Vertuo Next tries to stand out is the design and material approach: it’s described as slim and sustainable, made with partially recycled materials, and it measures only 5.5 inches wide.
What stands out in daily use
On paper, Vertuo Next focuses on three day-to-day priorities: easy operation, flexibility in drink formats, and an aim for a smooth cup topped with coffee foam.
Nespresso describes the brewing result as a smooth, full-bodied coffee with a velvety layer of foam. You get the kind of “finished” look many people expect from Nespresso—especially if you like that slightly creamy top layer.
A small but meaningful detail: Vertuo Next offers multiple drink sizes and espresso formats in the same machine, so you’re not stuck using one “default” setting all the time.
And if you’re thinking about the experience beyond the brewing, Nespresso mentions that a complimentary tasting pack is included with the machine (starter assortment may vary).
One limitation to keep in mind: since it’s capsule-based and Vertuo-only, you don’t get the freedom of using your own grounds or non-Vertuo capsule brands.
So it’s best when convenience is the point—not when you want maximum customization.
Key takeaways for buyers
Vertuo Next is positioned as a compact Vertuo machine with a modern, space-friendly footprint and a “smart” angle. It also has a sustainability narrative (partially recycled materials) and it’s made to be slim, with a width listed at 5.5 inches.
Here’s what that usually means in real buying terms: - If your kitchen counter space is limited, a narrower footprint can be a genuine convenience. - If you care about variety without grinding beans, the multi-size coffee and espresso-style options help you cover most “mood” choices. - If you already like Nespresso Vertuo drinks—or you want to start with a tasting pack—this machine fits naturally into that routine.
Where it may not be the best match is if you’re sensitive to ongoing capsule costs or if you prefer brewing styles that let you control grind size, strength, or flavor from your own ingredients.

Is it worth it?
Buy it if you want a compact Vertuo capsule machine that covers both coffee and espresso-style drinks in several cup sizes, including hot and over-ice options. It’s especially reasonable if you like the idea of consistent results with a foam-topped cup and you’re comfortable sticking to Vertuo capsules.
Skip it if you want to use your own coffee grounds, you’re looking for maximum control over flavor and strength, or you don’t want to commit to a capsule ecosystem.
Worth considering if your routine is mostly “grab-and-go,” but you still care about having different cup sizes depending on your day. It’s a convenience-first setup that lives or dies on capsule compatibility.
