Getting the Nespresso machine brings in only one concern about loading the coffee pod and cleaning the waste pod bin. Not anymore with the Nespresso Evoluo DeLonghi coffee maker because this machine has a huge waste coffee pod collection bin. However, loading the Nespresso shells requires the same process of loading it every time after brewing a shot. Nevertheless, this machine is the Nespresso at its heart and maintains the cleanliness by not including the coffee pod tray in the machine. In this manner, Nespresso emphasizes on utmost cleanliness and hygiene.
About Nespresso Vertuoline Evoluo
Nespresso has many products under its Vertuoline, Nespresso Vertuoline Evoluo is the entry-level machine. In fact, there are two different variants of the Evoluo i.e. the regular and Bundle model. Additionally, the Vertuo regular and Vertuo Bundle goes neck to neck with the Nespresso Evoluo machines.
For that reason, we have covered both the entry-level products of the Vertuoline machines in the Nespresso Evoluo review. Also, there is a brief description of the Bundle models from both the Vertuoline machines namely the Vertuo and Evoluo.
Furthermore, Nespresso has renown for its single shot brewing machines and the identical extraction mechanisms of these machines. In this manner, every Nespresso machine minutely varies from each other in terms of design, extraction process, brewing methods, and control panels. As the matter of fact, both the Nespresso Evoluo and Vertuo models have only a few changes and a few delicacies.
Apart from that, the Nespresso Vertuoline Evoluo has two different variants which can read in detail in the next section.
Working of Nespresso Vertuoline Evoluo
Operating Vertuoline coffee makers is not a big thing because of their simple controls. In fact, getting a coffee from the Evoluo can be as simple as pressing a button and pulling a Nespresso. On the other hand, the Evoluo Nespresso has an interesting coffee extraction method which is worth knowing.
Generally, the Original-series coffee machines of Nespresso have the extraction pump for brewing the coffee. In contrast to this, the brewing method of the Vertuoline Evoluo has the centrifusion method for coffee extraction.
It does not channel the pressurized water through the coffee pod for extraction. But the Vertuoline coffee makers introduce the water channel to the coffee pod along with rotating the pod furiously.
Hence, due to the clogged water and centrifugal force, the coffee grounds infuse in the water and move outwards via the perforated shell. There you have the final coffee from the Evoluo or any other Vertuoline Nespresso machine.
Apart from that, making other coffees from the Evoluo coffee will require you to operate the Aeroccino. Aeroccino is a milk frothing machine with a single button. You have to either long press or short press the button to choose cold froth or hot froth respectively.
Therefore, using both the Nespresso Evoluo and Aeroccino will be a child’s play for you from the day you unbox this machine.
Nespresso Vertuoline Evoluo Types
As we mentioned, we are considering two models namely the Evoluo and Vertuo which has many things in common. Also, there are two different Bundle-variants of both the models. It is nothing but the inclusion of the milk frothing machine along with the Nespresso machine. As the matter of fact, the milk frother machine is also manufactured by the Nespresso.
Therefore, there are a total of four products i.e. the Evoluo, Nespresso Evoluo Delux or Nespresso Evoluo Bundle, Vertuo, and Vertuo Bundle. To break the bubble, these variants hardly have major changes in their components and brewing process. After all, these machines have the core of the Nespresso and the proprietary brands will modify the products according to their unique touch.
That is the reason for the Evoluo from DeLonghi to be different than the Vertuo from Breville. To cut the long story short, the Evoluo is a bigger and more design efficient Nespresso Evoluo compared to the Vertuo.
It means the Evoluo has a bigger reservoir, a wider body, and a bigger used coffee pod storage bin. In contrast to that, the Evoluo Nespresso has a smaller sized wire. It gets inconvenient if you have a scarcity of power points around your kitchen counter. Also, some user complained about the Nespresso temperature not hot enough within a click of a button.
Nespresso Vertuoline Evoluo Review
Coming to the Nespresso Vertuoline Evoluo review, this section will describe the Nespresso Evoluo and the Vertuo coffee machines in detail.
To cut the long story short, the Vertuoline Evoluo is the Nespresso coffee maker uses the centrifusion process for extracting the coffee. The Nespresso coffee pods used for these machines are slightly different from that of the pods used in the Nespresso original-series of coffee makers.
Additionally, the Evoluo has a bigger body and some components increasing the water and used coffee shell storage capacity. On the other hand, the Vertuo has a compact body which might be useful for fitting the machine in the smaller spots. However, with the reduced weight of the Vertuo, handling it becomes easier.
Lastly, both the machines have five different brewing varieties to suffice every type of coffee person. It produces coffee right from the mild taste to the strongest on the touch of a button.
Components of the Nespresso Evoluo
In this section, you can learn about individual components of the Nespresso Evoluo and Vertuo. Although there are many things common for both of the machine there are some contrasting factors as well. However, this section will describe the similarities and common features of both the vertuoline products.
On the other hand, you can read about the differences between these machines in the upcoming section. It will make understanding both the machines easier in this manner.
To begin with the component review of the Vertuoline Nespresso makers, you will have to go through the Evoluo Nespresso review of each of their components respectively. In fact, these sub-sections will shed sufficient light on the functioning of the product.
1. Design of the Nespresso Evoluo
Starting with the first factor – the design and construction of the Nespresso Vertuoline machines. The Nespresso Vertuoline coffee makers are made of the combination of plastic materials. These plastic panels are made of either the regular plastic material or the ABS plastic material.
It makes the machine rugged and capable of withstanding small shocks and hits. In fact, the Evoluo and Vertuo both use a similar kind of plastic material made of the combination of plastic and ABS material.
Moreover, the plastic material of the machine has the shine of elegance yet it lacks in some of the vitality that a metal body of the machine might have. Although these machines are made up of the finely finished plastic material they lack having the bold appearance and rugged quality.
Nevertheless, both Evoluo and Vertuo have an upright stance measuring about 12.2 inches and 11.91 inches tall respectively. Having said that, the Evoluo measures wider than the Vertuo at its base. Because of the higher water and used pod storage capacity the size of the Evoluo Nespresso surpasses that of the Vertuo.
Additionally, body construction of Evoluo and Vertuo has a uniform and smooth contours. Both the machines have the upright body with a smaller base making it suitable for placing the coffee cup beneath the coffee outlet pipe. In fact, this design allows the machine to have a taller water reservoir and used coffee pods add to the convenience of using the Nespresso Evoluo.
In the end, the size and design of the machine make it easy to accommodate it in the smaller spots of the kitchen. Hence, despite the use of plastic body panels this machine has more benefits while using due to its small size and tough body.
2. Extraction Process
Here, we have the vital component of the Nespresso brewing machine i.e. the extraction method of the Nespresso. Adding to the fact, this Nespresso machine does not have the regular brewing process compared the Nespresso original series machines.
In the case of Evoluo and Vertuo, the machine uses the optimizes water flow for extracting the coffee grounds packed in the coffee pod. In addition to that, the machine will rotate the coffee pod while introducing the water flow to it.
The coffee pod can end up rotating as fast as 7000 rpm for the utmost coffee extraction process. This process is hence, called the Centrifusion extraction process. The Vertuoline coffee machines will not have the regular extraction pump for brewing the Nespresso. Neither the machines have the extraction pumps nor the coffee pods are shaped similar to the regular coffee pods.
In this case, the coffee pods will have a differently perforated shell than the regular Nespresso pods. Here, you will find more holes at the base of the coffee shell allowing proper coffee extraction. Having said that, both the Evoluo and Vertuo have a similar extraction process of centrifusion extraction.
The centrifusion extraction process will brew coffee with a little bit of foam in it. This is possible because of the rigorous rotation process of the coffee pod. In the same manner, you can easily make the frothed milk using the Aeroccino and add it in the foamy coffee. This will help you make the Nespresso latte and cappuccinos.
Both of the machines have the Nespresso core under their unique outer bodies. Hence, the extraction process remains the same for both the machines.
3. Brewing Different Coffees
The Nespresso Evoluo and Vertuo have various coffee brewing options to suits your cravings. It includes the Espresso, Double Espresso, Gran Lungo, Coffee and Alto coffee recipes. All of these recipes will have a different amount of water used for infusing a single coffee pod in it. To be precise, these recipes are just the variations of coffee concentrations and nothing else.
Because simply adding water in the coffee cannot result in making any of these recipes, the Nespresso has introduced the centrifusion method for its proper extraction. Having said that, all the five recipes will measure 2.7 oz, 5 oz, 7.7 oz, 14 oz for Espresso, Double Espresso, Gran Lungo, Coffee and Alto respectively.
Therefore, you can make these coffees to further add an appropriate amount of frothed milk and foam. This can help you choose for making the macchiato, cappuccino, latte, mocha, etc.
4. Power Saver
Coming to the power saving mode of the coffee machine, this is the most useful feature of the machine. The power saver will turn off the machine after nine minutes of idle time. This is useful for the people who tend to forget switching off the electrical appliances on a regular basis. Nespresso has thus, provided this function to prevent the machine from consuming unnecessary power supply.
The power saver will keep the machine from getting burnt on the cases of power fluctuations. Hence, if you live in an area where power fluctuation is a common phenomenon using Nespresso Evoluo is a fair solution to it.
5. Water Reservoir & Waste Coffee Pod Bin
Moving further from the power saving feature of the Evoluo and Vertuo, the giant water reservoir and waste coffee pod bin awaits our interest. Starting with the water reservoir first, both of the machines have the removable water tank. To say the least, filling the water and cleaning the tank will not be as hectic a task as it seems.
However, both the machines have differently sized water tanks and the Evoluo wins in this criteria with its 54-ounce tank compared to the 40-ounce tank of the Vertuo. In this manner, the Evoluo can make more coffee at a single go without having to refill the water. Adding to the fact, both the machine have removable tanks which will allow you to fill the tank conveniently. Also, this convenience enhances the descaling process.
Further, the used coffee pod bin of both the machines remain large yet the Evoluo wins this game too. The Evoluo has the waste coffee pod bin capable of storing about 17 used pods. On the other hand, the Vertuo has the bin capable of storing up to 13 used pods.
Having said that, now you know both the machines have a huge reservoir and used coffee pod storage which increases the convenience of the user.
6. No Mess, No Cleaning
To state the obvious, Nespresso Evoluo will hardly include the daily cleaning errands. Because the coffee pods will neither spill the coffee nor spread the grounds being tightly packed.
Generally, brewing an espresso includes many errands like washing the portafilter, cleaning it thoroughly, splashes while brewing, etc. On the other hand, when we talk about the Nespresso machines, then there is nothing much of cleaning required.
Although the Vertuoline Nespresso machines have the centrifusion extraction process you will rarely see any splashes on the body.
7. Aeroccino 3
Lastly, we have the Nespresso Evoluo Deluxe review or Bundle variant. As the matter of fact, when we mentioned about the variant of both the machines named as Bundle, it means the deal includes the Aeroccino along with coffee maker.
Aeroccino is the milk frothing device from Nespresso Evoluo. The Aeroccino 3 is manufactured to froth the milk of either cold or hot brew. It will not only allow you to make the espresso drinks and add the frothed milk to it but also make the espresso and add a cold frothed milk to it. Yes, the Aeroccino is useful for making the cold brewed coffee.
In addition to that, the Aeroccino has a single button operation for frothing the milk either hot or cold. All you have to do is either long press or short press the button for starting the hot or cold frothing respectively.
