Set Up

Welcome to the world of Nespresso coffee. Your new Nespresso allows you to explore over 30 Australian café inspired coffees.

With the Vertuo Plus, not only can you make café-style favourites at the touch of a button. No Barista required.

Whether you're a Double Espresso doyen/doyenne or a Long Black lover (and, yes, you’re absolutely allowed to be both), the Vertuo Plus will create your perfect coffee at the touch of one button. And in four sizes – Espresso (40ml), Double Espresso (80ml), Gran Lungo (150ml) and Mug (230ml).

Prefer to kick-start your day with a strong Cappuccino or Decaf? Creating cafe-style milky brews has never been easier, with our sleek, very handsome Aeroccino3 Milk Frother, which makes creamy hot or cold milk froth in minutes. (Iced Coffee, anyone?)

Now it's time to find the right coffee

At Nespresso, we understand that every palate is different – one person's Long Black is another person's Salted Caramel Iced Latte (you can find the recipe here).

If you're new to the world of Nespresso coffee machines, take our Coffee Profiler quiz to get personalised recommendations and discover the coffees that will create all of your café favourites. (Note: you'll need to know what kind of chocolate you like.)

Care & Maintenance

Top Care Tips

Regular maintenance is the best way to make sure your Nespresso Vertuo Plus delivers delicious coffee, cup after cup. Here are some top care tips:

  • Never use strong/abrasive solvents, sponges or cream cleansers on your coffee bean machine.

  • Refill your water tank on a daily basis, and clean it regularly with an odourless detergent. Rinse with warm water after cleaning.

  • Empty and rinse the capsule container, drip tray and cup support regularly.

Descaling

It's also important to descale your Nespresso Vertuo Plus every 6 to 12 months. Descaling gently removes the limescale that builds up in your machine over time and keeps your coffee always tasting great.

Our video covers off descaling done right.
