Capsule systems · review
A Vertuo machine with a milk frother included, automatic capsule ejection and a side water tank.
Where we land on it A Vertuo with a milk frother in the box, which is the one thing the other two Vertuo machines here do not include. It publishes less than either of them — no tank, no heat-up time — so the frother is the whole argument.
Three Vertuo machines sit within two dollars of each other on this shelf. Two of them publish a tank capacity, six named cup sizes and a heat-up time. This one publishes a frother in the box.
On this shelf only two machines can produce frothed milk at all — this and the Ninja, which folds its frother away. Everything else here makes black coffee.
Against its own stablemates, almost everywhere: no tank figure, no start time, no named sizes. The bullet that says hot or cold foam (if applicable) is the clearest sign that this page was written to a template rather than to a machine.
Read on the day this page was built: $160 at the American Amazon shop.
Read from Keepa on the day this page was last revised; stock and price both move without notice.
At $160, it is the 6 cheapest of the 8 models in this category published here.

It is the published difference. The other two Vertuo machines on this shelf were read within two dollars of this one and neither includes one. If milk matters, that is the whole decision; if it does not, both of them publish more about the machine itself.
The listing says multiple, without listing them. Its two Vertuo stablemates here both publish the same six: 5, 8, 12 and 18 ounce coffees plus single and double espresso. There is no reason given for the vaguer wording.
The listing says it works with Nespresso Vertuo capsules and select Starbucks pods. The Vertuo Pop+ by Breville on this shelf says the same in different words — Starbucks by Nespresso Vertuo capsules — so both are referring to Vertuo-format pods, not to Starbucks pods of other kinds.
These coffee machines share the category and the price bracket. Only what each one states is shown; an incomplete column would mislead.
