At a glance

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.

Strengths

  • Very simple one-button operation with automatic settings read from each capsule
  • Coffee quality and crema widely praised, with sizes from espresso to a 535 ml carafe
  • Aeroccino frother included for lattes and cappuccinos, liked by owners
Show all (4)
  • Slim 14.2 cm wide body with 1.1 L tank and 30-second heat-up

Things to consider

  • Only works with Vertuo pods, which are sold mainly by Nespresso and seen as expensive
  • Some reports of failures within months and refurbished replacements
  • Some owners find the coffee lukewarm, the lid needs a firm press and the cup stand flimsy
Show all (4)
  • Matt black version is sold by fewer UK retailers than the grey and white bundles
Who is it for, and who is it not for?

Good for

  • People who want quick, fuss-free coffee and milk drinks without learning barista skills
  • Small kitchens where worktop width matters
  • Mug-size coffee drinkers who want full-size cups from a pod

May not suit

  • Buyers who want to pick up pods in supermarkets or use cheaper compatible capsules
  • Those who want a built-in one-touch milk system rather than a separate frother
  • Anyone who prioritises proven long-term durability

Go to the original reviews

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.

  1. A*** J*** J*** 1/5 30 June 2026 Amazon Aeroccino bundle (shared colour pool)

    **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 …

  2. H*** 5/5 29 June 2026 Amazon Aeroccino bundle (shared colour pool)

    Beautiful coffee. Easy to use.

  3. M*** F*** 5/5 8 August 2025 Amazon Aeroccino bundle (shared colour pool)

    I have been a long time Nespresso o/l since 2015 … I am really happy with my purchase. Great coffee, nice flavours, I drink ice latte, hot latte and macchiatos. … Great customer service. Top machine.

  4. K*** C*** 5/5 11 April 2025 Amazon Aeroccino bundle (shared colour pool)

    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.

  5. J*** 2/5 24 September 2026 John Lewis Grey/white Aeroccino bundle

    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.

  6. J*** 5/5 16 May 2026 John Lewis Grey/white Aeroccino bundle

    Why visit coffee shops when you can make perfect coffee at home. From expresso to mug size, there's a great variety of pods to choose from.

  7. L*** 5/5 30 January 2026 John Lewis Grey/white Aeroccino bundle

    Great coffee machine milk warmer a nice extra. Definitely recommend

  8. A*** 2/5 13 January 2026 John Lewis White Aeroccino bundle

    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…

  9. N*** M*** 1/5 17 November 2025 John Lewis Grey/white Aeroccino bundle

    …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…

  10. s*** 5/5 25 October 2025 John Lewis Grey/white Aeroccino bundle

    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.

  11. 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…

  12. A*** 2/5 21 August 2025 John Lewis Grey/white Aeroccino bundle

    …the cups of coffee were tepid so adding milk then made them cold… The lid on the water reserve is not hinged so it's loose… the little platform that you sit your cups on is positively naff…

  13. Z*** 5/5 4 August 2025 John Lewis White Aeroccino bundle

    …I like that it's slim, doesn't look cheap (even though it was a bargain) and there was a white option… I have the milk frother too, it's quick, quiet and easy. I'm really happy with my purchase…

  14. K*** 4/5 17 June 2025 John Lewis Grey/white Aeroccino bundle; sampling review

    …The machine is user-friendly and straightforward to operate… The Aeroccino milk frother is a valuable addition… The primary consideration is that the coffee pods are exclusive to Nespresso…

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. G*** 5/5 28 September 2026 Argos Machine-only ENV120.GY (no Aeroccino)

    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. …

  18. 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.

  19. 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.…

  20. L*** 5/5 19 August 2025 Argos Machine-only ENV120.W (no Aeroccino)

    This fantastic Nespresso coffee machine is lovely and slim. Takes up less depth on my worktop than my toaster. I use it everyday. …

    Machine broken, hoping its good after 4 week wait.

  22. Customer 3/5 2 November 2026 Currys Shared De'Longhi Vertuo Next feed

    I bought the Nespresso by De’Longhi Vertuo machine, but unfortunately I’m quite disappointed with it. I’ve had difficulty finding the correct Vertuo pods in leading supermarkets, and the two types of pods I managed to purchase did not work with the machine…
