Capsule systems · review
Six Vertuo cup sizes from five to eighteen ounces, a 37-ounce removable side tank and a thirty-second heat-up.
Where we land on it Six named cup sizes, a 37-ounce side tank and a thirty-second heat-up, published honestly where a near-identical Vertuo a dollar away claims three seconds. More than forty permanent capsules behind it is the real specification.
Two machines on this shelf state a heat-up time. This one says thirty seconds; a Vertuo a dollar away says three.
The temptation is to read that as a verdict. The fairer reading is that six machines here say nothing, and these two at least let a buyer compare. If the three-second claim is right it wins outright; if it is optimistic, this one told the truth.
The machine costs what it costs once. The capsules cost every morning for years, and the only listing on this shelf that tells you how many you can choose from is this one.
Read on the day this page was built: $160 at the American Amazon shop.

It is the slower of the two published figures on this shelf, and the other belongs to a Vertuo a dollar away that claims three. Six machines here publish nothing at all, so this is one of only two that let you know before buying.
Over forty permanent Vertuo coffees plus limited editions, by the listing. That is the only count of a capsule range anywhere on this shelf, and on a machine whose running cost is entirely capsules it is a more useful number than most specifications.
Not by the listings. Both are Vertuo Pop+ machines; this one is distributed by Breville, publishes a 37-ounce tank, a thirty-second heat-up and six named sizes, and includes no frother. The Deluxe includes a frother and publishes none of those three figures.
These coffee machines share the category and the price bracket. Only what each one states is shown; an incomplete column would mislead.
