Coffee gods, Nespresso have launched a new coffee machine and it’s the most compact, and colourful, in the Vertuo range yet. Introducing the Vertuo POP! The six new colours are an interior enthusiasts dream, allowing maximum space personalisation while not taking up any extra space. Coffee lovers can choose from Spicy Red, Mango Yellow, Aqua Mint or Pacific Blue, or go classic with Liquorice Black or Coconut White. It’ll be hard to choose just one for your kitchen!
Nespresso are no strangers to awards, and this new Vertuo machine has already won the 2022 iF Design Award in the product category for its sleek and compact design, as well as connectivity features.
The Vertuo POP also happens to be the most affordable machine from the Vertuo range so far, which as we know with the rising cost of living, is a blessing. Nespresso’s Business Executive Officer General Manager, Jean-Marc Dragoli says is more important now than ever given 63% of Australian coffee drinkers claim to be making their coffee at home as part of a plan to save money. Given Nespresso pods on average cost $1.20 per shot, it’s a swap many will be happy to make. “We know Australian coffee lovers are feeling the pinch, with the cost of living on the rise,” says Dragoli, “The new Vertuo POP offers an elegant solution for those seeking cafe-quality coffee at home and in a more compact style. The sleek design and bright colours, will elevate any kitchen or workspace, no matter the size.”
Small in size doesn’t mean small on taste, in fact the Vertuo POP is the most versatile coffee machine Nespresso have released (especially if you go all out and get the Nespresso Aeroccino3 milk frother too). Each machine can use the full range of Vertuo pods to create full mugs of coffee, Gran Lungo the perfect long black size, single and double espressos, double-shot lattes, flat whites or cappuncinos.
Nespresso’s intelligent CENTRIFUSION™ technology on thee Vertuo pods analyses the barcode on every capsule to adjust brewing measures for each coffee. This precision feature is not just sustainable, but ensures each cup is perfectly executed for the specific coffee blend, revealing the best quality aroma and crema each time without you lifting a finger (ok, one finger to press the button).
Vertuo POP is also the first machine to introduce ‘Expert Mode’ which allows coffee drinkers to make any Vertuo coffee capsule into either a double shot, a single shot, or a ristretto with just two presses of the button. The machine will then adjust its coffee extraction parameters such as water, temperature, speed and flow time to ensure that every capsule is optimised to enjoy with milk. With 91% of Australian coffee drinkers adding milk to their “go-to” coffee order , Expert Mode opens up the possibilities for an even more extensive range of delicious, at-home coffee creations.
If you weren’t already impressed, the online connectivity of the Vertuo POP means the machine updates automatically, ensuring a smooth and consistent coffee experience each time you brew.
