Whether you’re after a quick espresso or a long, luxurious coffee, this machine delivers with style.
This complete barista bundle includes not just the Vertuo Pop machine, but also the Aeroccino3 milk frother, a starter set of coffee capsules, two Nespresso mugs, and matching spoons – giving you everything you need for a true café-at-home experience.

Tips on How to Use Correctly
Ensure the lid is fully locked before starting a brew
Use only Vertuo pods – the machine scans a barcode for each brew
Clean the Aeroccino immediately after each use to prevent milk build-up
Always use cold milk for frothing – it creates better foam
Descale the machine every 3 months to maintain performance
Rinse the machine weekly with a water-only cycle
Store your pods in a dry, cool area for maximum freshness
Wait for the button light to stop flashing before removing the cup
