Easy coffee brewing with a creamy and rich crema layer

Creamy and rich crema layer
Easily make small and large coffees
Make flavorful iced coffee effortlessly
The machine makes quite a lot of noise.

I always brew a flavorful coffee with a rich crema layer using the Nespresso Vertuo UP, thanks to the smart settings for both hot and cold coffees. The machine does make some noise while brewing, though.

Rich crema layer The first thing I notice about the Vertuo UP is the creamy, thick crema layer on every cup of coffee. Thanks to the Centrifusion brewing method, the capsule spins rapidly while hot water flows through it. This allows the coffee to mix well with the water, creating a rich crema layer on top. I notice this with both a small espresso and a large mug of coffee. The top layer remains firm and looks beautifully full and creamy.

Easily brew small, large, and iced coffees In daily use, I operate the Vertuo UP very easily. I insert a capsule, close the lid, and press the button. Thanks to capsule recognition, the machine automatically selects the correct size and water quantity. This allows me to brew a quick espresso or a large mug of coffee without thinking. It works just as easily for iced coffee. I fill a glass with ice cubes and insert a capsule. Then the machine brews the coffee over the ice. The Vertuo UP automatically adjusts the extraction. This ensures the flavor remains full as the ice cubes melt. This allows me to effortlessly make a refreshing iced coffee on warm days.

Coffee Creations mode for milk and iced coffees I find the Coffee Creations mode handy when making cappuccinos, latte macchiatos, or iced coffees. I insert a capsule, press the Coffee Creations button first, and then the regular coffee button. The machine then brews a shorter, more concentrated coffee. As a result, the coffee flavor remains good when I add milk or pour the coffee over ice. This is especially useful for me because I use the same capsule for multiple styles. With Coffee Creations, I get a stronger base for my cappuccino without having to experiment with quantities myself. This way, I don't have to constantly look for different capsules for milk drinks or iced coffees.

Adjustable volume and temperature via the app With the Nespresso Smart app, I can set the volume and temperature of my coffee precisely. For example, via my smartphone, I adjust a lungo to be slightly larger, or choose a higher temperature for a large mug in the morning. The machine saves the settings so that I get the same result immediately with the next cup.

I also use the app for maintenance and updates. The app provides notifications when it is time to descale or clean. It shows me step-by-step what I need to do. Additionally, I order new capsules via the app.

Many different flavors I also appreciate that there are many different flavors and cup sizes. This allows me to easily choose between a short, strong espresso in the morning and a large mug of mild coffee in the afternoon. The machine automatically reads the barcode on the capsule and adjusts the volume, temperature, and brewing time accordingly. I do not change any settings myself, yet I still get a different taste experience for every capsule.

Quickly a delicious cup of coffee

Simple operation
Heats up quickly
Beautiful sleek design

I have been using this Krups coffee machine for a while now and I am actually quite pleasantly surprised. I always used an espresso machine with loose beans, but I also wanted a machine that brews a good coffee quickly without too much hassle, and this machine does that really well. The design looks modern and it doesn't take up a huge amount of space where you place it. You also don't want a water reservoir that is too small, so that balance is good. The black finish with the ridges in the back wall gives it a luxurious look.

What struck me immediately was how quickly it heats up. You can actually brew coffee within a few seconds, which is ideal if you are in a hurry. The coffee itself has a thick layer of crema, giving it a delicious, full flavor, just like with a piston machine.

The nice thing about this Vertuo Up is that you can personalize quite a lot without it becoming complicated. The machine automatically recognizes which capsule is inside, but I did play around a bit with the strength and quantity of coffee using the Coffee Creations function. That worked surprisingly well, especially with iced coffee. I adjusted both the strength and the quantity slightly so that the flavor remains stronger when I add ice cubes. You can set this using the buttons and the app. That’s fine; personally, I use the buttons because you hold your phone in your hands enough during the day, so I could have done without that option.

I also find it handy that you can make different sizes of coffee. I mainly use the double espresso in the morning and sometimes a larger cup of coffee later in the day. The machine switches between them automatically depending on the capsule, so it is super easy. However, it is a shame that there isn't a steam wand included with this type of machine, because you have to purchase something extra for cappuccinos.

Furthermore, you naturally have to refill the water reservoir regularly and empty the tray with used cups, but that is logical and works just fine. No jamming trays or difficult operations.

Great convenience, delicious coffee

Ease
Good coffee
Full crema layer
Quite a lot of noise

In many aspects, you can tell that this Nespresso Vertuo Up was designed with convenience in mind. The machine features automatic capsule recognition, after which it automatically selects the correct settings for the coffee to be brewed. By using the Coffee Creations mode—simply with the push of a button—you instruct the machine to take milk and iced coffees into account. For example, the machine brews a shorter, more concentrated cup of coffee, to which you can then add milk or ice yourself. I consider this convenience to be one of the most important advantages of this device. The downside, however, is that you are tied to the ecosystem with this type of coffee capsule and the associated pricing.

What is also striking is the thick layer of crema the machine manages to produce. The brand itself states that this is due to the Centrifusion brewing method, where the capsule rotates rapidly while water flows through it. This looks beautiful and makes enjoying the coffee just that little bit more pleasant. It is possible, however, that this technique causes the device to make quite a bit of noise, more than I am used to from other appliances. Another interesting feature of this machine is the ability to adjust a number of settings via the Nespresso Smart app. For example, you can adjust the volume and temperature, and this is subsequently stored in the Vertuo Up's memory. The app also assists with performing maintenance and updates. In that regard, it is a nice, modern device.

I am satisfied with the results of this machine, but it is good to realize that the downside of convenience is the limitation in flexibility.
