Hi everyone, I currently have a Nespresso Vertuo, had it for a couple of years and I feel like it’s getting close to the time to change it.
I love the color of the vertuo pop but I’m wondering if the gran lattissima would be a better investment, especially because I’ve noticed that the pods are slightly cheaper.
What are your thoughts? Pls help me out! I’m struggling

They are not remotely similar. Pop is a Vertuo, like you current machine, but inferior and with a very small reservoir. It’s on virtue is that it will accept the XL pods.
The Gran Latissima is an original line machine, a true espresso maker, which means small single espresso shots and lungo size, which is just an espresso amount brewed with more water. It will not make a “cup of coffee”, although you can use a single shot to make an Americano, more or less full cup, by adding hot water. The OL capsules are cheaper because they contain about half the coffee, and third parties can make and sell them.
There is a Vertuo Latissima that can take all Vertuo pods, including XL and carafe size and has the milk feature.
Do you use any of the cup sizes above espresso currently? That’ll probably be the biggest consideration. I brew all sizes so I’d only stick with Vertuo but if you only use espresso, the original line capsules will be better!
One major difference is the Gran Latissima does not do 8 ounce regular coffee. The Pop plus does. The Gran L is an espresso machine only.
Vertuo Latissiima
I have read that the latissima is a bit of a pain to clean up as well, taking apart the frother every day etc.
I have the OL Latissima pictured. Just awful….milk spits out all over the place….I have to put a piece of white paper towel in between the machine and the milk reservoir for it to work at all. I was so disappointed. But I use it because it was expensive.
I do not recommend….1 star ⭐️
My original line pods actually end up being more expensive than my Vertuo pods because I have to use 2 pods for a double espresso. I like that the original line has more options, though.
how about a Creatista Plus? about the same price as the Lattissima.
If you’re someone who loves to have a latte or basically coffee with milk, or short cups of black coffee, please go for latissima it’s a GREAT machine, I don’t really vouch for vertuo pop but still if you’re someone who likes to have a full cup of black coffee go for vertuo, I work at nespresso, In my opinion original line coffee is better than vertuo. But again, depends on kind of the size of coffee you want to go for!
This seems like an unpopular opinion but I love my Pop!
You can have both since the first one belongs to the original line and the second to the vertuo line.
I have a lattisima one OL that I love. I don’t find it difficult to clean- just run the clean cycle and rinse out the milk container/parts. Once a week I put the parts through the dishwasher.
Get the pop and get a milk frother. Sometimes they do the milk froth cheaper when you buy a machine
