Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee Machine by De'Longhi with Aeroccino Milk Frother, Over 30 Varieties of Pods, 6 Coffee Cup Sizes, Latte, Cappuccino, Starter Capsule Set Included, EN120.BMAE, Matte Black

The Vertuo Next solves a specific frustration that plagues cheaper pod machines: size inconsistency. Using barcode-reading centrifusion technology, it spins each capsule at up to 7,000 RPM and automatically adjusts brew parameters per pod — so a 480ml carafe brew and a 40ml espresso are each extracted correctly, rather than one setting being a compromise for both. That range, from espresso right up to full mugs, is genuinely broader than most rivals at this price point, and the bundled Aeroccino frother means lattes and cappuccinos are achievable without any additional outlay.

Who Is This For?

This suits someone who wants genuine drink variety at home — the office worker recreating their coffee shop order, or the household where one person wants a short sharp espresso and another wants a long breakfast mug — without learning any technique. If you already own a manual espresso machine and care about dialling in grind size and pressure, this closed pod system will feel limiting and the ongoing capsule cost will irritate you. Look elsewhere.

What Buyers Say

Owners consistently praise the crema quality on Vertuo pods, which is noticeably thicker than comparable Nespresso Original line machines, and the compact footprint given its cup size range. The most repeated complaint is specific to this EN120 model: the water tank capacity sits at just 1.1 litres, which means frequent refilling if you're making back-to-back drinks for multiple people. A small number of buyers also flag that the capsule drawer requires emptying more often than expected during heavy use.

The Deal

At £79.00 — down from a high of £198.99 — this is a 60% reduction, and it matches the lowest price we've ever tracked on this model. The price history average sits at £168.99, so you're paying well below what most buyers have historically paid. Our current verdict is WATCH rather than buy-immediately, which suggests checking whether this price holds before committing. That said, with the Aeroccino frother included at this price, the bundle value is hard to argue with. If the price ticks back up, you'll know you saw it at its floor.
