2. Vertuoline
The Vertuoline is a brand new addition to the Nespresso lineup. It has a sleek, minimalist design and is the only machine in the lineup to make both espresso and coffee.

Vertuoline machines come with a distinct pod system that is different from the OriginalLine.

This eliminates the need for separate containers of milk, making it simpler to make the perfect espresso or coffee machines latte.
Vertuoline machines are superior in terms of quality.
