Delicious at-home coffees are keeping us sane during this third lockdown, and if you have been looking for an excuse to upgrade your current coffee machine, this is it. Check out the new Nespresso Vertuo Next Premium Coffee Machine –in this gorgeous dark purple colour with gold accents!

Vertuo Next offers the Nespresso coffee experience, just one step forward, with a new brewing system: the Centrifusion technology.

Even better? To go the extra mile, this machine even connects to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to update itself and offer you a constantly seamless experience.
