Start your decision here
The Vertuo Next with Aeroccino is a slim, one-button Nespresso Vertuo pod machine bundled with a separate Aeroccino milk frother, in matt black here and also in grey and white. Owners rate it highly for simplicity, consistent coffee from espresso to a large mug, and an easy frother for milk drinks. The trade-offs are that it only takes Vertuo pods, which are not sold in supermarkets and cost more than standard capsules. A minority of owners report faults after some months, and some find the coffee not hot enough or the lid fiddly. It suits people who want café-style drinks with no fuss and are happy to buy pods from Nespresso. Long-term reliability is not independently established, as no Which? reliability data was accessible.
Before you buy
What the features mean in everyday use.
ENV120.BMAE is the De'Longhi-made Nespresso Vertuo Next in matt black, bundled with an Aeroccino3 milk frother; grey (ENV120.GYAE) and white (ENV120.WAE) bundles are the same machine in other colours.
The machine only takes Nespresso Vertuo capsules; it reads each capsule's code and brews up to seven cup sizes from 25 ml ristretto to a 535 ml carafe.
1.1 L water tank, 6-10 used-capsule container, 30-second heat-up and a slim 14.2 cm wide body (31.4 x 14.2 x 42.9 cm).
The bundle includes a separate Aeroccino milk frother; John Lewis buyers of the grey/white bundle frequently praised the frother as quick, quiet and easy for lattes and cappuccinos.
Ease of use is the most common praise across Amazon, John Lewis, Argos and Currys reviews: one-button operation and quick coffee.
Most reviewers like the coffee taste, crema and the range of cup sizes, including full-size mugs.
A recurring complaint is that Vertuo pods are not sold in supermarkets, must be bought from Nespresso or Amazon, and are expensive; some buyers did not realise this before buying or bought incompatible pods.
Applies to the model family
A minority of UK reviewers report machines failing within 5-18 months or a descale/reset failure, with replacements supplied as refurbished units; Amazon's customer-review summary also flags reliability and durability concerns. Second-hand reports describe leaks and flashing error lights.
Some reviewers found the coffee lukewarm, the lid needing a firm press (sometimes not flowing until reopened) and the cup stand flimsy.
Applies to the model family
TechRadar rated the Vertuo Next (machine only) 4/5: very easy to use, good crema, virtually mess-free; measured 100 seconds for a 320 ml mug and 68 dB; cons were pod cost and pod recycling.
Applies to the model family
The matt black ENV120.BMAE is £199 at De'Longhi UK and £189.89 on Amazon UK (third-party seller); the grey and white Aeroccino bundles are £199 at John Lewis and Currys and about £155-156 on Amazon UK. The machine-only Vertuo Next costs £149 at De'Longhi UK.
Several reviewers consider the machine good value, especially when bought on offer or with free pods, while noting that running costs come from pods.
Applies to the model family
Amazon and Currys describe Bluetooth/Wi-Fi app connectivity and some reviewers mention using the Nespresso app, but John Lewis lists the bundle as 'Not Smart Technology Enabled'.
At De'Longhi list prices the Aeroccino bundle costs £50 more than the machine alone; Nespresso UK sells the Aeroccino3 separately at £49 when bought with a machine, so the bundle saves little at list price but adds convenience.

User experience
See the common points first, then read the original reviews yourself.
Summarised from the 83 reviews we read. A review can mention several points, so the theme counts can add up to more than 83.
Owners mostly praise how simple the Vertuo Next is: one button, quick heat-up and consistent coffee with good crema, from espresso to a full mug. Buyers of the Aeroccino bundle like the frother for quick, quiet lattes and cappuccinos, and many like the slim design. The main frustration is the pods: they are only sold by Nespresso (and Amazon), not in supermarkets, and are seen as expensive. Several buyers did not realise this before buying. A smaller group report the machine failing after some months or a descale cycle that would not complete, with replacements supplied as refurbished units. Others mention lukewarm coffee, a lid that needs a firm press and a flimsy cup stand. Many feel it is good value when bought on offer.
Summarised from 83 reviews; 4 reviews about delivery, packaging or the seller were left out. The summary is drawn from opinions that recur in the reviews read; each theme shows how many reviews mention it. These counts are not a rate and do not apply to every unit.

**WARNING** I bought my machine 8 months ago, I have looked after it … Then it stopped working. … The replacement arrived and I was really quite shocked to find it scuffed and filthy. On contacting them … I was told that they only replace the machines with reconditioned units … My machine was barely 8 months old. … I really enjoyed the machine whilst it worked – it made great coffee …

Absolutely LOVE our new coffee machine. We had a more complicated machine before that ground the beans etc. but alot of faffing around, wanted something smaller and easier to use, this fitted the bill perfectly. … Yes it makes a slight noise on starting up but wouldn't say it was loud, very easy to use … Looks lovely and sleek on my work surface. Highly recommend.

The coffee is great but after 5 months the machine stopped working, nespresso have taken it away to repair and all we were offered was a refurbished one as a replacement.

This machine is inconvenient in many ways… it broke down after 1.5 years of use, on its own. Nespresso replaced it for a refurbished one… these machines make too much coffee froth… Pods are very inconvenient to store due to the different sizes, and are too big…

…This pod machine works for 30 pods and says 'Descale me'. No problem there until you try to run the descale procedure and the failure of the machine to respond to any means of reset, continue etc just results in flashing buttons…

We're really enjoying this coffee machine. It's our first Nespresso and so the offer with the 50 free pods is a really great way to explore quite a few flavours and sizes of coffees.
d*** 3/5 12 October 2025 John Lewis Grey/white Aeroccino bundle
I wanted a milk frother and found this deal which included the coffee machine too. I got 50 free coffee pods… Unfortunately the percentage of caffeine remaining in the decaf pods is too high for me… However, if you are a regular coffee connoisseur then the machine is great…

C*** 3/5 9 October 2026 Argos Machine-only ENV120.GY (no Aeroccino)
I bought this only a few days ago. The machine is great. But can't buy the coffee capsules in the shops. They have to be ordered online. Which I'm really disappointed with. I should have looked more into it. Wish I had for a different Nespresso machine.
R*** 5/5 24 October 2026 Argos Machine-only ENV120.GY (no Aeroccino)
Great offer on at the moment, so really well worth it. Excellent range of coffees. Just be aware that while the machine might be good value, the pots are much more expensive and only available via Nespresso and Amazon.

This coffee machine has exceeded all my expectations. It produces really nice coffee with a dense crema and is so easy to use. Coffee can be ready to drink within a couple of minutes of switching the machine on. …
S*** 5/5 23 August 2026 Argos Machine-only ENV120.GY (no Aeroccino)
Good, easy to use coffee machine. Relatively compact. Be aware that it takes the bigger pods you have to get direct from Nespresso, rather than the smaller ones you can buy in Supermarkets. Still a good machine though.
S*** 4/5 7 August 2025 Argos Machine-only ENV120.W (no Aeroccino)
I love the taste of coffees although it's a shame that the pods are not easily available and can only get from Nespresso and Amazon and not available in supermarkets. The machine is easy to use although it's very temperamental when you press the lid down sometimes it doesn't flow so you need to open and close again.…
