We check out the different cup sizes on offer with each and how many different capsules are available for each type of machine. We also talk a bit about replica pods and the availability of these.
The machines on show in the this review are the Nespresso Citiz Original machine from Magimix and the Vertuo Plus machine made by Krups.
I would chose the original because the biggest reason they made this whole new capsule is basically so they could patent it again to create another walled garden vendor lock-in system. With the original you now have unlimited options with third-party cups as well.
Thanks for a great review - as usual! The Vertuo line also has an additional issue: No upgrade path. As of the time of writing (19th of October 2020), there's nothing even remotely close to matching my Nespresso (Original) Lattissima Pro. The Lattissima Pro can do Lungo just fine - I think it maxes out the cup size at around 400 mL, but you can always just press the button again for more (although the coffee will taste thinner if you don't use another pod).
The Vertuo line has a larger water tank than what's currently available for the Original line, but I don't find it a useful feature with the amount of use we have. In any case, making a continous water flow with an arduiono and a stepper motor isn't exactly rocket science, so if the need for this is there, then it's easy to just do that.
As a programmer, I'm not very keen on the Vertuo having bar codes. I know that it seems very clever by design - but it also limits the way we can customize our coffee. Maybe I'm just spoiled by my Lattissima Pro - but the range of choice in this one is what makes it so good imho. In fact, the only thing that could make it better would be the opportunity to program temperatures for the coffee and milk separately and for each type of cup - along with more presets. Oh and a tilted display would be nice too.
Until the Vertuo line gets up to speed in terms of features, I simply don't see myself buying one, even if my Lattissima Pro should fail beyond repair. In that case, I'd just buy another Lattissima Pro.
Yeah I'm not too keen on the barcode system either and generally prefer the taste of the original coffee. I'm actually trying to get hold a lattissima pro to review at the moment but from everything you've just said, it sounds to me like your next machine might be a Creatista Pro 😂 as it has most of the things you've just asked for.
@@A2BProductions - I considered the Creatista series, but laziness won me over ^_^ I mean, I have to pour the milk in manually with the Creatista, whereas my Lattissima does it for me. One touch and lots of stuff to choose from - I very much like that. I actually considered just building my own, but came up short when trying to figure out how to build pressure at 19 bars ^_^
To be fair, barcodes can store more than just an ID for a particular type of coffee setting. If they're clever about it, they'll have different numbers on the barcode represent different settings for the machine to match (1 digit for temperature control, 1 digit for cup size, etc). This would make it a far more versatile system. If the barcode isn't encrypted in some way, it'll even allow 3rd parties to copy the barcoding after the patent expires.
@@A2BProductions can you help me I have the cream one like the 1 in video but the aerochinno is missing the whisk part inside would that be why it doesn't heat the milk or is it broken
Hi 👋 Just tried my aeroccino 3 with no whisk and you’re right, it didn’t work 🤷🏼♂️ Started for a few seconds then flashed red and stopped. So getting hold of a whisk for yours might solve the problem. It may also just be broke though so up to you if you want to try it.
Thank you for this. Knowing the patent lasts longer than I thought - Think I’ll get the original nespresso machine! Buying supermarket capsules or organic capsules online are important to me. Thanks again!!! Great video.
Yeah if that's your priority then think that's a good choice 👍🏼 Thanks!
Brilliant and thank you. I orderedy machine this morning, then did the research! Currently I use two regular pods to make a long black Americano, sounds like I can use just the one with my new vertuo machine. Phew! Thanks for the vid.
If you live in Australia or the UK - you want the Original line. It mimics barista coffee.
The vertuo is for the American version of coffee (long blacks, long coffees, instant coffees, etc.).
That’s the difference.
I live in US and prefer the original. I use it only for espresso and the pods are cheaper
I have the veruto but the original one is so much aesthetically pleasing including the capsules
Yeah we’ve reviewed a lot of the original machines on the channel now and there are some really good ones. You’ll have to let us know which one you go for if you end up getting one 👍🏼
mate i have to say thank you. I'm not really knowledgable i coffee, but as im starting to work from home more, i needed a good coffee machine that is easy and makes good tasting coffee. Your reviews have been very helpful as when i opened the nespresso website, there was nothing but confusion. Machines from sub £100 to £700, different pods, different milk options....
Great to hear the videos have helped mate 🙂👍🏼 It really isn’t easy figuring out which is the best Nespresso machine for you is it. Maybe you can let us know which one you go for in the end and why 😊
I don't drink espresso by themselves at all, so I have a Vertuo, but today I will buy a Nespresso Pixie and a milk frothing machine. The pods are cheaper and there is more variety on the original line, so I'll make lattes and flat whites with the Pixie. Also you can by other brands of coffee for the original line.
Nice review! I was trying to decide between the two and then I found your review. The original has more variety, so I guess I'm going for that one. Thanks for helping make the decision easier.
Truly you are the best, I’m looking for a coffee machine from a while and every video I’ve been seeing it were yours giving us information about it, its really helpful truly THANK YOU!
Thanks for that, really appreciate it! Glad the videos have helped 👍
I chose the Vertuo, since I have mostly used things like Keurigs, which produce 7.7oz drip coffees. And this will expand the variety of that type, with more flavors and types that the Keurig machine can't give me.
Happy with your choice?
Honestly i have the vetruoplus and i dont think its for me anymore, it hasn’t stopped me from getting coffee outside of my home which is understandable but its so hard to get into nespresso brand based coffee. I was hopeful i would be able to get into the new one but i think the original one is what i want. I like the different varieties of coffee.
Yeah I much prefer the coffee from the original machines and while some of the compatible pods available aren’t great - we’ve reviewed quite a few on here now but will be reviewing more - others are really good and that opens the choice up even more with original machines. We’ve also purchased less coffee away from home since having the Creatista original machine - as the milk froth quality is so nice from that with it having a steam wand - so makes it more of a coffee shop style coffee. Hope you find the right setup for you!
Thank you for explaining the types of coffees each machine features. I really appreciate it as I do research on the machine that is right for me.
Yeah OriginalLine or VertuoLine isn’t an easy decision is it! Glad the video was helpful though and would be great to hear what you decide 👍🏼
Great review, thank you! Couldn't decide which is better for me and this video put everything on their places!
Great to hear and glad it helped 👍
Spot on review....i wholeheartedly agree...that’s why like you i have both....i need i big mug in the morning (or two) and the crema on the virtuo is amazing.....but after lunch or dinner yeah the original line shine...latte or straight up espresso is better
Yeah it’s nice to have options if you can get a good deal on the machines and have the space for them 👍🏼
This was like a perfect video for what I needed. Thank you!
Brilliant, glad it helped and thanks 😁
Brilliant. Really helpful information on the machine differences. Thanks so much. Cheers!☕
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the good reviews/explanations, my friend. I think I'll go and buy the Inissia today. If I want a longer drink I'll just use two pods as I can buy Aldi Ristretto pods so cheaply, and they are really, really good according to a Which? test. Cheers!
Check with Gevalia coffee.
Very limited at the store I have a nespresso Essen a all they had was K Cup pods
And I saw the Gevalia Virto pods but only Gevalia
I grabbed them at a good price I figured I’ve got a reloadable pod so if it doesn’t fit, no biggie I can still use them, but they don’t look EXACTLY like my pods, the bottom was round.
Well they fit! I found them fir $2.00 USD fir 10 pods
I’m going back for more!
Good stuff!
Still trying to perfect the amount fir lingo but I’ve got the frother and hot chocolate so not a complete disaster 😎
Not sure I've seen that brand over here but cheers for sharing as sure that'll be helpful for people 👍
graduation gift to myself! exactly what i needed, original it is for me
Hope you like it 👍
I like how he saids “espresso!”
First one to actually address the cost-issue between them ..and I have been wondering why so many can ignore such a important fact?!?
Thank you for a good comparison.
Also.. could you plz link to a site or add some info about the special Magimix-drip-plate i got on the original machine?
Thanks for that, glad the video helped. I'm actually not too sure what you mean regarding the drip plate, I'll have to look that up and see if I can find it.
@@A2BProductions the new version of it, don’t have that ‘wide’ drip plate ..and I like your version better, than the new look.
Also went to a shop to see it ..but holy crap. The seller REALLY wanted to sell me the vertuo-machine, talking crap about the Citiz-model, to convince me to choose the vertio. I ended up leaving, since they did not have CitiZ-model in stock.
You cannot make an Americano with the Vetuo without adding hot water separate from what the machine does.The original does it better you can get just water from it and the Essenza Plus has a hot water button.
I got an Aeroccino milk frother for free as a gift by Nespresso when I got my Vertuo Plus. What I like with Vertuo is their large ice coffee pods. Today Starbucks also sell Vertuo pods but those are still a bit rare on the market and often must be ordered directly from Starbucks.
Hmm. Seems also if you are a keurig owner adding the original makes more sense. If you plan to replace the keurig entirely then the vertuo plus makes more sense.
Thanks for sharing, now I just need to learn what a Keurig is 😅 Not sure we have that in the UK.
My wife likes Lattes, I like Americanos so I'm buggered.
Brilliant reviews BTW. Thanks 😊
Sounds like it may be a one of each machine job for you 😬😅 We have couple of videos on the channel where we made an americano and long black using the originalLine machine if that helps at all. May not be exactly what you're looking for when compared to the Vertuo though.
I honestly just throw more hot water to my espressos for my americanos. I really don't see that as a real advantage of the vertuo.
Yeah we have a video on the channel where we did the same with some good results. The Vertuo does offer the thick foam on top of a mug sized coffee and the coffee does taste a bit different, so guess it comes down to which you prefer the taste of.
@@A2BProductions i am currently binge watching all your videos, i'll get to that one next! Thank you!
Haha, please do leave your own recipe in the comments when you do 👍
Cheers for the video. Your doing a good job I’m late to the Nespresso game. Your fire alarm needs new battery’s lol cheers
Haha, you've just brought back memories of when that was beeping all the time! Rest assured it's sorted now 👍 Thanks and if you need any help just let us know and we'll do our best.
Tysm for the clear review. I will go for a original, I love a good cappuccino and espresso. Btw, I really love your accent! Haha sorry for being so blunt but I had to say it.
Really glad it helped you to make a decision and glad you like the accent too 😂👍 Thanks for the kind words
I use the stronger espresso capsules as a lungo coffee, my favourites are the purple and black capsules, I almost never use them to make an espresso.
Finally and good description of the difference between both machines!
I have a real espresso machine so i got the vertuo plus after finding it unexpectedly online for $20 usd!
Great price 👍
Thank you for the video, super useful information. I will be keeping my original machine.
Thanks, glad it was helpful!
why not compare to dolce gusto, i think it is a closer fight.(same company as well)
I have thought about doing that, thanks for the suggestion. Something for the future 👍
It was really helpful, thank you so much :)
Great to hear, thanks!
Helpful review and comparison. Thank you. Americano will be better for my weight loss goals than lattes! 🤣👍🏼💪🏻
Haha, yeah maybe I should start drinking more Americanos 😅
Took the Nespresso online quiz ... the result say Original suits me better
Didn't know they had a quiz, I'll try that 👍 I'm team Original myself so will see if the quiz picks that up.

Cheers John, just took it and got me spot on. We've reviewed a lot of machines on the channel now and must say I think the original coffee tastes nicer too.
Thanks for this! 👍
No problem, hope it helped 👍
Guys, which technique (original line or vertuo line) on earth makes a better tasted coffee?⁉️⁉️ , no matter patent or cost. I tasted both, but I couldn’t distinguish 😂😂
Think taste is one of those things that is completely subjective I guess. I like the originalLine but others prefer the Vertuo. If anyone is reading this maybe they can leave a comment below with their favourite ☕️😊
@@A2BProductions Glad to know that because I bought an original line machine. Thank you for the reply. Maybe, after all, the original way of extracting coffee is more traditional in terms of the definition of a coffee. However, I am still finding whether Vertuo way is better.
Thanks mate, v useful
No problem 👍 Glad it helped
I’ve been using first original line for a few years
Then I’ve been using the vertuo line for a year now and yesterday I’m back at the original line and the original capsules tastes much better then the shi**y vertuo So glad for original ☕️
Thank you
Hello - I’ve just subscribed! I’m in the process of buying a coffee machine for my birthday! - I’ve been thinking of buying the Nespresso Original. I’m a cappuccino and latte lover! would you recommend I buy the Original? I don’t know here to start - should I go for a larger more expensive machine for cappuccinos and lattes? Or just start off with the Nespresso Original? it’s so confusing! Thanks. 👍🏻
Hi there. As a cappuccino and latte lover myself I would always recommend the original coffee, as I personally prefer the taste and there's so much more choice in the espresso pod range. As for which machine to go buy though, I would honestly hop on to our channel page and watch more of the videos if you have the time. I only say that as all the machines are very different in the froth they create and the features they have. I've tried my best to be honest about my thoughts on each of them in the video reviews, so I help they help you to come to a decision. I love the Creatista machines myself but they are at the top of the price range and the lower priced ones with aeroccino frother do still make a nice coffee.
@@A2BProductions hi- thanks for the reply. I ended up buying the Nespresso Citiz & Milk! Then I thought I’d bought the wrong one when I watched some of your videos! There’s so many to choose from - but it’s perfect for my cappuccinos and lattes and I’ll have a go at making flat whites etc! I’ve watched a lot of your videos on the different coffee machines and the pods and they are really helpful for a novice like me so Thanks a lot. 👍🏻
I would probably by the vertuo if it wasn’t restricted to it’s own brand capsules.
We have the creatisa and i actually think we are going to buy the evolou (sp) just to have the options to have both types of coffee 🤪
Yeah don't think that's a crazy idea as they are very different machines and make very different coffee when it comes to the mug and alto size options.
Thankyou! 😊
No problem, glad it helped!
It's not about the size but how you use it -- is what I always say, plus I have no room for anything bigger than a pixie machine
What’s your model for your original machine? (The white one)
Great video
Thanks!
Great video - thanks 👍
No problem, hope you find the right machine for you 👍🏼
A2B Productions I have been an Nespresso member for nearly 5 years. My frustration is that my magi mix machine is leaking. That’s the 2nd machine in 3/4 years. How long are your machines lasting you?
I've heard a lot of people talk about leaking machines but it's not something I've experienced yet. I had a Magimiz Citiz with milk for about 5 years with no issues before getting my new Citiz. Now have a Vertuo Plus too and that hasn't leaked but only had it about 6 or 7 months. Are you almost at the expert level on your Nespresso membership then? Think you get 25% off a machine once a year when you reach that don't you. That's where I'm at now.
One thing you didn’t mention is the vertuo is not as hot as the original Nespresso machines.
Great video, thank you! I agree, a combo of both would be good. I'm looking to get one for my boyfriend (not a coffee drinker myself). He only drinks lattes but loves huge cups of it, I'm assuming it would be possible to double up and use 2 pods on the original machine to make larger drinks?
Yeah you can certainly do that. I do that quite a lot and also prefer the coffee from the original machine. I tend to get away with using one shot when using the Napoli pod, though, as it's such a powerful coffee (my favourite pod). Be good to hear how you get on!
I recently bought a vertuo because I was told it was the one to get if making long americano style coffee, which is the coffee I usually make. But I hadnt realised that I could have just bought the original machine and made double espressos with that and just added hot water to them to make Americanos. Kinda disappointed because I may have tried other cheaper non-nespresso pods. Or are the long coffees from the vertuo nicer than espresso and hot water from the original machine, in your opinion? And therefore a good purchase?
That's an interesting question actually as - although we've made long black and americano coffees using the original machine on the channel, I haven't actually tasted them side by side. The most direct comparison I can think of would be the Double Scuro Vertuo vs Original Nespresso using 2 pods for the orginal and comparing how they taste as americanos. Will have to order some Vertuo Double Scuro though as I'm all out at the minute.
Just realised you asked about the longer vertuo coffees vs original americano too. In general I usually prefer the original pods to Vertuo myself but again haven't tried them side by side as americano vs Vertuo mug sized. Will definitely sort a video to compare them though. Thanks for the idea 💡👍
Thanks for the reply 👍
I will watch that video when you post it
One thing with that if you’re looking price wise for the Coffee is that Nespresso doesn’t make double espresso pods for the original line but does for the vertuo and therefore, using 2 original pods to make a double as opposed to 1 vertuo is actually a more expensive cup a coffee and will cost you more in the long run.
@@mayaborkz2582 just use the lungo original line pods. They are much better than the vertuo coffees
Does anyone know when the patent runs out on vertuo pods so that other manufacturers can start making them? I’m really struggling to decide on a machine that will work well for both of us.
Also, are they going to continue making the original machines forever?
Such great questions was wondering that also
Hi dude! For the better taste and flavor of coffee which one do you prefer?
This is an easy one for us as we much prefer the original pods but not everyone will agree.
I have both machines. Original line makes better tasting coffee by far. No question. Vertuo coffee tastes more bitter and burnt. Original line coffees are sweet and nuanced.
I dont get vertuo nespresso in my country....thats too bad.
Ah that's a shame, hope it comes to you soon.
Does the citiz make sufficiently hot enough coffee...I've read some reviews saying coffee is not hot enough?
Hi there, we'll be doing a video soon where we test the citiz against the pixie and essenza mini, but I did test the heat in a video against the Vertuo Plus not too long ago. It's on our channel page, hope this helps! I've never had a problem myself as long as the frother creates enough heat (for milk based drinks) or if I run a shot of water through first before making an espresso or lungo sized black coffee.
id always found them to be a warm as opposed to hot. if you are not averse to wasting water, run a shot into a cup with no pod and then run a pod. seems to be a bit warmer second time around
I find it’s hot when you first drink from your cup but will get cold fast. I use a mug warmer to keep my coffee warm and that does the trick!
This what I do... the nespressos take a few runs to get really hot. I put my cappuccino cup under spout and run it 2x using just water. This 1) heats up the cup and 2) gets water hot for you espresso shot. Then I dump the water and use warm cup for the shot
The Virtuo next is absolutely awful. Constant red and orange lights flashing, over engineered machine which just provides a headache.
The original is the best option as it’s a simple machine which is reliable.
Get yourself a hand held milk frother on Amazon for about a fiver
Man, please go put batteries in your smoke alarms. The chirping is driving me crazy!
maybe try to actually make a coffee in the video ?
are you British mate?
Yeah I am 👍
Bought the Nespresso next what a load of garbage its broken down more times than enough I've got that angry with their tech support I have literally through the dam thing in the bin where it belongs George Cloney should be ashamed sponsoring this rubbish
