Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Coffee Machine

When counter space is limited but you want more than one kind of coffee, the Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe combines coffee and espresso brewing with a separate milk frother. It makes five drink sizes, from 5, 8, and 12 oz coffees to single and double espressos, served hot or over ice. The removable side water tank holds 37 fl. oz., and the one-touch setup is designed to keep the routine simple. The trade-off is that the capsules are made for Vertuo machines only, so this is a system-specific purchase rather than a flexible capsule setup.

Best use cases

This bundle suits someone who likes switching between a longer coffee and a smaller espresso without keeping two brewing appliances on the counter. The adjustable drip tray accommodates shorter cups, while the Aeroccino3 adds hot or cold milk foam for coffee recipes. For a quick morning routine, you can brew into a mug, then use the frother when you want a milk-based drink, for an iced coffee moment, the machine also brews its listed formats over ice.

It’s a great fit if you want one-touch brewing and several serving styles in a compact design. If your usual routine is a full pot of drip coffee, though, a traditional coffee maker may suit that habit better. This machine is built around individual capsule drinks, not a pot to share.

Product specs

• Type: Coffee and espresso maker with milk frother
• Format: Five sizes, including 5, 8, and 12 oz coffees, plus single and double espressos
• Water tank: Removable side tank with 37 fl. oz. capacity
• Included frother: Aeroccino3 for hot or cold milk foam

The machine has a 30-second heat-up time, automatic used-capsule ejection, and one-touch operation. It also comes with a complimentary tasting pack. The description lists more than 40 permanent and limited-edition Vertuo coffees, but capsules are exclusively compatible with Nespresso Vertuo machines. That restriction matters: if you already have capsules from another system, they won’t work in this brewer.

Where it shines

The appeal is the combination of drink variety and a straightforward workflow. You can choose a coffee size for a travel mug or a shorter pour for a small cup, then make an espresso when you want a more concentrated serving. What if you want a cold drink instead? The listed brewing options include drinks over ice, and the Aeroccino3 can produce cold milk foam for a different finish. The tasting pack gives you a starting point for exploring the Vertuo range, while the adjustable tray helps accommodate shorter cups.

Compared with a basic drip setup, the Pop+ Deluxe offers individual coffee and espresso formats plus a dedicated frother, compared with a more open capsule approach, it asks you to stay within Vertuo. That’s the central buying decision, not a minor detail. Without having tried it, the practical case rests on whether those formats and the capsule system match your everyday routine.

Buying verdict

This Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe makes sense for a small kitchen or coffee corner where you want several single-serve formats, easy operation, and hot or cold milk foam in one bundle. The side-mounted removable tank is a useful design detail when access matters, though the listed capacity may not suit everyone’s refill habits. There are no dimensions in the product details, so the compact description alone can’t confirm how it will fit a particular counter.

Better avoided if you want capsules that work across different machine systems, or if you primarily make coffee by the pot. Choose it when Vertuo’s dedicated capsule range and the included Aeroccino3 are part of the appeal, otherwise, a simpler brewer may be a better match for a narrower routine.
