Introducing Nespresso Vertuo Pop: Endless Coffee Styles, Now In Colour!

Nespresso has solidified its position as the pioneer and reference for highest-quality coffee once again, with the introduction of their newest innovation to join the Vertuo family, Vertuo Pop. Delivering endless coffee styles to explore with and elevate any coffee moment, Vertuo Pop also adds a burst of colour to any coffee corner.

With over 20 blends of sustainably sourced roast and ground coffee in five different capsule sizes to choose from, Nespresso’s Vertuo range has a coffee capsule for every coffee lover. From New Zealander's favourite double shot flat white to modern craft brew styles, Vertuo Pop can do it all with a single capsule to craft your perfect coffee at the simple touch of one button.

Proving that big things come in small packages, Vertuo Pop features Nespresso’s intelligent Centrifusion technology, which analyses the code on every capsule and adjusts brewing parameters to prepare your perfect cup. Additionally, Vertuo Pop utilises Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity which, when paired with your Nespresso App, updates automatically to ensure Kiwis can enjoy a seamless coffee experience time and time again—from enjoying the newest flavours and coffee styles that are introduced to the Vertuo range.

Available in six colourways, Vertuo Pop is an accessible entry to Nespresso that also gives design-lovers the freedom to personalise and add a style statement to their space, from classic Liquorice Black or Coconut White, to vibrant and playful Spicy Red, Mango Yellow, Aqua Mint or Pacific Blue.

Minimalism is in, and Vertuo Pop makes a big statement by going small. Vertuo Pop is Nespresso’s smallest and most accessible Vertuo machine to date, retailing at $269.00 NZD each. The compact style means the machine can easily fit into any kitchen or workspace no matter the size – perfect for first homes, office spaces or university.

“A reduction in size does not come with a reduction in quality,” reports Nespresso New Zealand Coffee Ambassador Jaime Conger. “Vertuo Pop is a small yet powerful machine that offers the endless coffee styles Kiwis have come to love across our Vertuo system and is perfect for recreating your favourite elevated coffee recipes from the comfort of your own home. I love how Vertuo Pop takes versatility to the next level, giving Kiwis the freedom to personalise - from adding a style statement to their space or experimenting with their coffee moment – no matter their taste!”

DON’T FORGET TO RECYCLE!

Vertuo Pop is sustainable at heart, made with 35% and packaged in 99.5% recycled materials, all while providing a low energy consumption. Additionally, Vertuo capsules are made from 85% recycled aluminium, which is infinitely recyclable through Nespresso New Zealand’s recycling programme.

NESPRESSO NZ CELEBRATES THE ART OF LIVING WITH SIX LOCAL TASTEMAKERS:

To launch the next chapter of café-style coffee at home, Nespresso New Zealand have partnered with Stylist and Creative Director Kayla Jurlina and Photographer Fraser Chatham to hero six talented Kiwis who are masters of their own self-expression, pairing them with their Vertuo Pop counterparts:

Hercules Noble – For Vertuo Pop in Red

Hercules the private chef extraordinaire! Brimming with flavour and personality, Hercules is taking the dining and digital worlds by storm with his tastefully bold personal style, being likened to New Zealand’s Jamie Oliver.

“I’ve loved to cook for as long as I can remember. I used to sit next to the oven as dad cooked when I was just a kid, and I definitely feel super grateful to be able to do this for a living. Being Invited into the Nespresso family really has made me feel very grateful. I’ve been drinking Nespresso most of my life, and they’ve really made me feel incredibly valued right from the very start. Even better that my Vertuo Pop is Arsenal-red, so I knew we’d get along!”

TEEKS – For Vertuo Pop in Aqua

TEEKS is an award-winning Māori singer-songwriter hailing from Tauranga and Hokianga. To critical acclaim, TEEKS released his certified gold debut album ‘Something To Feel’ - An honest song book about love, self-knowledge and the complexities of human emotion. The soulful singer has captivated audiences both here and abroad with a slew of sold-out shows under his belt.

“I love the ritual of coffee in the morning, as it allows a quiet moment to yourself while setting your intentions for the day,” he shares. “I believe that playfulness is an essential aspect to creativity, as it unlocks the doorway to imagination and true self-expression. And to me, the key to great style is personality— I try to express my personality through the clothes that I wear, usually understated but always considered.”

The Curve – For Vertuo Pop in White
Founded by Victoria Harris and Sophie Hallwright, The Curve is a platform for women to learn more about money. It is a safe space for women to learn about investing in a way that makes sense to them and makes sense for their lifestyle.

To be able to make a delicious cafe-style coffee at home, and not spend a fortune on takeaways is an absolute winner! We love our Vertuo Pop machines!"

Jess Quinn – For Vertuo Pop in Yellow

Jess Quinn is a fierce advocate for body positivity and self-love, using her own experiences and passion as motivation to help others overcome their own mental and physical hardships.

“You can't look at the colour yellow and not feel happy. There is something about adding colour to your life that gives you a sense of self-expression by exploring parts of your personality that you otherwise might not have. For me, I like to style my home in a neutral way but add pops of colour into it for bursts of excitement, personality and interest which is where the Vertuo Pop is perfect. The smell of coffee and a pop of colour - what better way to start the day!”

Ash Owens – For Vertuo Pop in Black

Ash is a fashion, beauty, and lifestyle content creator from Auckland. She has been a valued partner of Nespresso New Zealand for many years, bringing her classic, and elevated style to everything she creates.

“Nespresso compliments my work from home lifestyle perfectly,” shares Ash. “From the chic Liquorice Black Vertuo Pop design to the ease of being able to make the perfect at home flat white, Nespresso brings both aesthetics and function (quite literally!) to my daily life.”

Holly Schroder – For Vertuo Pop in Blue

Holly is a multi-media artist whose practice includes painting and moving image light projections. Born into a creative family that fostered a freedom of expression, Holly uses art to navigate the world around her.

"Rituals are essential to my creative process, and nothing sets me up for the day like a morning cup of Nespresso from my Vertuo Pop machine in the studio. It's the perfect kickstart to my day, putting me in the right state of mind to dive into my painting and creative projects with focus and inspiration.”

EXPLORE DIFFERENT COFFEE STYLES TO SUIT ANY COFFEE MOMENT:

Vertuo Pop delivers unforgettable taste experiences through endless coffee styles. To showcase the versatility possible with Vertuo Pop, Nespresso NZ Coffee Ambassador Jaime Conger has developed six coffee recipes to suit any coffee moment.

The perfect coffee to enjoy for chilled morning moments. Master Origin Costa Rica has notes of malt and cereal which become softer when paired with ice, and the addition of milk brings out a subtle hint of sweetness.

COFFEE EXPERT TIP: Extract hot coffee directly over ice to chill it instantly, ensuring the delicious aromas remain in cup.

Vanilla Reverso

Start your day with the subtle flavours of Barista Creations Sweet Vanilla. This coffee is best enjoyed as a Reverso, by extracting the coffee directly over cold milk. This sweetens the vanilla for a simple yet elevated coffee moment.

COFFEE EXPERT TIP: Starting with milk as your base ensures that it combines with the coffee crema. This simple trick allows the milk to gradually warm throughout the drink, making the overall profile more balanced and creamier.

COFFEE EXPERT TIP: Iced recipes work perfectly with oat milk if that’s to your taste. Oat milk creates a thick foam when frothed on the cold setting of your Nespresso milk device, that creates a whipped texture.

• 20ml flavoured Monin syrup: Get creative and experiment with flavour, like Caramel and Vanilla
• 80ml milk of your choice

The iconic Flat White is a morning essential. Try Il Caffe as your espresso base – the roasted notes and hint of toasted cereal are accentuated with the addition of milk. Any bitterness drops away, leaving behind a subtle intensity and rich flavour.

COFFEE EXPERT TIP:Enjoy the experience of making this classic recipe. After extracting the espresso, take time to swirl the espresso in the glass, folding the crema and creating a smooth texture.
