Nespresso Vertuoplus vs Vertuoplus Deluxe vs Vertuo vs Vertuo Evoluo
Nespresso is well known as a company that produces all kind of coffee products including coffee makers. They released many different coffee machine models, and sometimes you can find yourself confused about their features.
We will try to solve the mistery about VertuoPlus and Vertuo models in this article. Some of their features are completely same, but in some other characteristics, they are different. Users are very fond of these four models, and they are in love with all the advantages that these models have. One of the biggest advantages is that all these models can brew both, coffee and espresso.
If we speak about the release chronology than we have to say that the VertuoPlus and Vertuo models are upgraded Vertuo Line models. The coffee temperature was a problem since it was not considered as a hot ( enough ), but with the upgraded models it became higher and that was the most important thing. We will describe all models by their features.
One more thing that separates VertuoPlus from Vertuo models besides the appearance is the brew head. VeruoPlus models have motorized brew head. With the press of a button, it opens by itself and closes the same way. This is perfect since there is no possibility for making any mechanical damage due to an inadequate usage.
