If you’re shopping for a Nespresso machine, you’ll notice the brand offers two main lines: vertuo and original. While both brew espresso with the push of a button, they differ in technology, pod design, drink variety, and even coffee flavor.
Each line includes a range of machines with different features and price points. Some models come with extras like built-in milk frothers or larger water tanks, while others keep it simple and compact for small spaces. But at the core of each line is a shared brewing system: original machines use high pressure for a classic espresso experience, while vertuo models rely on centrifugal force and barcode technology to brew a wider variety of cup sizes, from espresso to full coffee mugs.
