Like the VertuoLine, it's limited to its own proprietary coffee and espresso pods. It weighs 8 pounds has storage space for up to 10 coffee pods and a 33.8-ounce water bin capacity. The $149 Starbucks Verismo 580 measures 8.2 inches wide by 14.8 inches deep by 16.4 inches tall. Colin West McDonald/CNETīoth the $179.99 Keurig K75 Platinum and the $149.99 Keurig Vue V700 have larger water tanks, but they are also bulkier, heavier, and flimsier than the Nespresso VertuoLine. The Keurig Vue V700 is massive in comparison to the Nespresso VertuoLine. While it doesn't have a pod disposal bin, has a smaller 14-ounce water reservoir, and looks pretty utilitarian, it feels very durable and it can make pretty much any warm beverage imaginable. It's also extremely versatile, offering a hot water attachment for tea or oatmeal, a pod attachment for tea bags, a third attachment for ground coffee, and another attachment for K-Cups or other coffee capsules. It's smaller at 11.3 pounds and measuring 13.5 inches wide by 9.2 inches deep by 16.5 inches tall. That's a pretty severe limitation when some other single-serve coffee makers come with so many accessories and brew options.

Each one is branded with a barcode that the machine scans to determine the specific brewing instructions. Nespresso designed its pods to ensure that. You can't add your own coffee grinds, you can't add a filter to make plain hot water for tea, and you definitely can't use another brand's coffee capsules in this machine.
