Bottom Line

The Nespresso VertuoPlus Deluxe offers great coffee quality and a variety of brew sizes when it's working properly. However, its frequent reliability issues, such as leakage, malfunctioning shortly after purchase, and the frustration of dealing with persistent error alerts, cast a shadow over its high price tag. If you're considering this model, be prepared for potential service interactions and a relatively short lifespan for the machine. If reliability is your main concern, you might want to consider checking out other brands or models with a proven track record of durability.
