Vertuo UP Pearl White
Your Coffee, Your Way
Vertuo Up is designed to meet every coffee moment with ease. From bold morning mugs to refreshing iced creations, it brings together sleek design, fast performance and a broader world of Vertuo possibilities in one intuitive machine.
COFFEE CREATIONS MODE
A dedicated Coffee Creations button opens the door to bolder iced and milk-based recipes. With one touch, it brews a more concentrated base designed to hold its character over ice or when blended with milk, giving you more freedom to personalise every cup.
SEVEN CUP SIZES
From ristretto to carafe, Vertuo Up adapts to every rhythm and routine. It prepares up to seven coffee sizes and lets you enjoy them hot, over ice or as the base for creative coffee recipes, so every preference finds its place.
ELEVATED DESIGN
The slim new silhouette is paired with an effortless lever and a multi-position water tank that helps optimise space on the countertop. An adjustable drip tray fits everything from small cups to travel mugs, while the refined build makes daily use feel smooth and intuitive.
FAST, SMART CONVENIENCE
Vertuo Up heats in just 3 seconds, so great coffee is always close at hand. A dedicated maintenance button simplifies care. Crafted with 70% recycled material, it brings thoughtful design to every detail.
CENTRIFUSION™ EXTRACTION
Exclusive to Nespresso Vertuo, Centrifusion™ spins each capsule at high speed, blending freshly-ground coffee with precisely heated water to unlock every layer of aroma. Before the spin starts, the machine scans the capsule’s unique barcode and automatically adjusts temperature, flow rate and cup size for perfect extraction. The gentle whirl delivers barista-quality espresso or a full-bodied long cup, always topped with a naturally rich, velvety crema. One touch, one capsule, consistently exceptional coffee.
Note: Nespresso app is not available in Finland.
