The Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe understands this. It's delightfully compact, fitting seamlessly into even the most crowded kitchens. But don't let its diminutive size fool you.

The inclusion of features like the improved brewing speed, the larger water tank capacity, and the Bluetooth connectivity further enhance the experience. The Bluetooth feature, while seemingly minor, is actually incredibly useful for updating the machine's software and accessing resources and tutorials via the Nespresso app.User-Friendly Operation: Simplicity RedefinedThe Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe is a dream to use. Simply insert a capsule, press the single button, and let the machine work its magic. Cleaning is just as simple, with a self-cleaning cycle that keeps everything running smoothly.

I love this coffee maker! It is fabulous. Coffee tastes great, machine is quick and compact. Love the auto shut off. So easy to use ! It came with a starter coffee kit.

The price on this was great. The size is perfect for my counter. I don’t know how I ever did without this. I highly recommend this.

This is going to be the best coffee I've ever had in my life and I've had many a different coffees. Only downside is the cost of the pods for it. It would be nice to see better sales and better options for the pods. If you have the money for the pods like that this coffee is hands down the best out there.

This is my first Nespresso machine, and the coffee tastes great! I’m a bit disappointed in the design. It’s just a little too short for taller mugs, and if you want to take it on the go—you’ll have to transfer it from a mug to the to-go vessel of choice.It’s also a little odd that the spout is so close to the machine. If you use a thicker mug, you run the chance of it running down the back onto your counter.Another complaint in functionality is the pod loading. Having to hold the top down, while locking it into place is a little awkward, and could be difficult for someone with little hand strength (I wouldn’t buy it for grandma).So far it doesn’t leak and I haven’t had any problems with the machine itself. The quality seems sturdy. The coffee tastes fantastic. The design on the other hand is just odd.

We love our nespresso. Our first one came broken but they replaced it for us. The quality of the coffee is better in our opinion and we love the variety of options that you can make with this. The machine is super easy to use and to clean - by using the app it will also tell you what is malfunctioning on the machine and how to fix it.The coffee that comes from it is not too hot and the pot has a large brewing capacity that allows for multiple coffees of different amounts. Extremely functional and easy to use. Highly recommend - especially one with a frother!
