Best Nespresso Machine for Long Coffee: Nespresso VertuoPlus
Rather than an espresso or a lungo sized coffee, if you prefer a longer drink and measure your coffee in full mugs’ worth, the Nespresso VertuoPlus will likely suit you best.
As mentioned in our introductory section, the VertuoPlus has different capsules to the original Nespresso machines. The coffee extraction process is different because of this – using a centrifugal extraction method – and this in turn allows long coffees to be brewed. This means that instead of topping up your coffee with hot water, or using multiple capsules to make a larger mug of coffee, the VertuoPlus has you happy from the get-go.
Instead of espresso-based sizing alone, you have Alto (414ml), Mug (230ml), Gran Lungo (150ml), Double Espresso (80ml) and Espresso (40ml) sizes at your fingertips. If you use the regular Vertuo machine instead of the VertuoPlus, then Double Espresso is omitted, so if you wanted one of those you’d have to hit Single Espresso twice instead. You can see our full review of the Nespresso Vertuo and VertuoPlus here.
A cool feature of the Nespresso VertuoLine range of machines is that the edges of each capsule actually form a barcode, allowing your machine to read exactly what capsule is being put inside so that it can spin you (centrifugal extraction method, remember!) the perfect cup of coffee.
For those who prefer longer drinks, the Nespresso VertuoPlus is undoubtedly our favourite going into 2021. It is also worth noting that it can be paired with an Aeroccino machine, so that if you want a longer coffee but also like frothy milk, you don’t have to choose between them – you can have both!
