First released in 2014,, the Vertuo line makes coffee in a totally unique way.
In the strictest sense, it’s not espresso.

We’ve reviewed most of them at Tom’s Guide, too.
I’d be surprised if Nespresso had any plans to release any new Original line machines.
The price per pod ranges from $0.98 to $1.35 when you but a 10-pod sleeve.

Smooth move, Nespresso.
Good luck finding an Original line machine for that price.
No contest, Original lines make a more authentic espresso.

Flavor-wise, it’s fruitier on account of its lower brewing temperature, but it’s also very bitter.
So straight off the bat, we’re not comparing like for like here.
Despite that, I still preferred the double shot.
Pour in a bit of milk, and that’s a good size coffee for me.
This is where the Original line taps out, but the Vertuo has much more up its sleeve.
I’ve made some huge drinks in this thing.
No question, if you want a really huge cup of coffee, get the Vertuo.
The Original line excels for making iced coffees or other milk-based drinks.
For most people though, the Vertuo line is a better option.
