I've tested dozens of coffee makers over the years, but before I started the unlikely career of reviewing kitchen appliances, I had a straightforward Nespresso machine at home that kept me caffeinated without any effort. And while I've come a long way since my pod coffee days, I still think you can't beat these machines for streamlined, user-friendly designs, and you can get a pretty tasty brew when you buy the right pods for your model.
But for those who are new to the world of Nespresso, you might be wondering what the difference is between Nespresso Vertuo and Nespresso Original, and which is right for you. There are some big differences to consider, despite how similar these machines look, so I decided to compare one of each side-by-side to see which would come out on top.
