The Nespresso Vertuo Next is a step-up from its Pop series of machines for the more experienced coffee drinker, plus it comes with a frother. And yes: it brews iced drinks.
The Vertuo has a 37-ounce water tank (compared to the Pop’s 25-ounce), takes just 25 seconds to heat up and can brew 5- and 8-ounce coffees or single and double espresso shots. Nespresso packages its Vertuo machine with recipe cards if you prefer your drinks iced, or if you’d like to try your hand at making a latte, and even gives you a complimentary coffee starter kit to find your favorite flavors.
One reviewer says, “It’s revolutionized our morning routine and allowed us to enjoy cafe-quality lattes without ever having to leave the house.” It’s also delightfully quieter “compared to other machines I’ve tried.”
If you’re someone who loves cold coffees on hot days out, good news: this thing is awesome for brewing iced coffee. “I use this to make my iced lattes every morning,” says one user. “Very easy to use and the espresso tastes amazing.” The included milk frother also makes cold froth for foamy drinks.
Don’t let the pod capsules fool you; these drinks are flavorful and delicious. Or, as one reviewer puts it, “what a difference from a Keurig!”
