    Nespresso launches new Vertuo coffee machine with Bluetooth, Wi-FI and a whole bunch of colour

    I love coffee more than the next person but have next really thought too much about the colour of the coffee machine responsible for powering my caffeine addiction. Nespresso has launched the Vertuo POP, the most compact coffee machine in the Vertuo range, adding a burst of colour and elevating any coffee corner, no matter how big or small. 

    Six new vibrant colorways provide interior enthusiasts and coffee lovers the freedom to personalise and make a bold statement within their kitchen space, from playful Spicy Red, Mango Yellow, Aqua Mint or Pacific Blue, to classic Liquorice Black or Coconut White.

    Having won the 2022 iF Design Award in the product category, its sleek and compact design will be sure to turn heads and elevate any home coffee bar.

    Great things come in small packages, and Vertuo POP makes a big move by going smaller. It is not only Nespresso’s smallest but also its most affordable machine from the Vertuo range to date – a benefit which Nespresso’s Business Executive Officer – General Manager, Jean-Marc Dragoli says is more important now than ever given 63% of Australian coffee drinkers claim to be making their coffee at home as part of a plan to save money.

    “We know Australian coffee lovers are feeling the pinch, with the cost of living on the rise,” said Dragoli.  “The new Vertuo POP offers an elegant solution for those seeking cafe-quality coffee at home and in a more compact style. The sleek design and bright colours, will elevate any kitchen or workspace, no matter the size.”

    The reduction in size hasn’t meant a compromise on quality. The small yet powerful machine offers great versatility with four cup sizes available that pair perfectly with the Nespresso Aeroccino3 milk frother to recreate your favourite cafe-quality coffee at home:

    • Mug (230mL) – a long cup to be complemented with a dash of milk
    • Gran Lungo (150mL) – the perfect at-home long black
    • Double Espresso (80mL) – can be paired with milk to make a double-shot latte, flat white or cappuccino.
    • Espresso (40mL), the classic espresso, and pairs perfectly with the milk to make a small cappuccino.

    With Vertuo, Nespresso’s intelligent CENTRIFUSION™ technology analyses the barcode on every capsule to adjust brewing measures for each coffee. This precision feature is not just sustainable but ensures each cup is tailor-made to the specific coffee blend, revealing quality aroma and crema each time.

    Vertuo POP is also the first machine to introduce ‘Expert Mode’ technology which allows coffee drinkers to make any Vertuo coffee capsule into either a double shot, a single shot, or a ristretto with just two presses of the button. The machine will then adjust its coffee extraction parameters such as water, temperature, speed and flow time to ensure that every capsule is optimised to enjoy with milk – the Australian way.

    With 91% of Australian coffee drinkers adding milk to their “go-to” coffee order1, Expert Mode opens up the possibilities for an even more extensive range of delicious, at-home coffee creations, including:

    • Mug range becomes a double espresso for strong flat whites
    • Gran Lungo range becomes a single shot, perfect for a flavourful cappuccino;
    • Double espressos can be enjoyed as a single shot;
    • Espressos can turn into Italian style ristrettos 

    Plus, thanks to its online connectivity, Vertuo POP updates automatically, ensuring a smooth and consistent coffee experience each time so you can seamlessly enjoy the most popular Aussie cafe favourites such as cappuccinos, lattes, flat whites and long blacks in the comfort of your own home or office.
