Coffee at home is having a moment in Malaysia, and Nespresso is leaning into it. The brand has brought its all-new Vertuo Up machine to the country, launching it at an immersive Vertuo World roadshow at The Exchange TRX in Kuala Lumpur on 14 July 2026.
One press, a world of coffee
The idea behind Vertuo Up is simple: every press of a button should open up something new. The machine brings the full Vertuo system home and pulls a cup in about three seconds. Through the Nespresso Smart App, owners can set cup size and temperature, get real-time maintenance alerts, and tap into a growing library of recipes.
At its core is Nespresso’s Centrifusion technology, which spins each capsule at high speed while infusing it with hot water to draw out flavour and finish with the brand’s signature crema. Vertuo Up also introduces a vertical capsule orientation for a slimmer footprint and a redesigned lever that opens and closes smoothly. The body is built from more than 70% recycled plastic.
Made for iced and milk coffee
The standout is a dedicated Coffee Creations mode, a concentrated extraction setting made for milk-based, plant-based and over-ice drinks. It brews a bold base that holds its character when you add milk or pour it over ice, which suits the iced and milk-forward coffee so many Malaysians already order. The machine works with more than 30 Vertuo coffees across six cup sizes, from a 25ml ristretto to a 535ml carafe.
A New Orleans twist with Blue Bottle
Launching alongside the machine is the Nespresso x Blue Bottle Coffee NOLA Style Blend, which brings the cold-brew tradition of New Orleans into the Vertuo capsule system for the first time in Malaysian homes. It combines Brazilian Arabica with a touch of premium Mexican Robusta for strong cereal and caramelised notes, with a chicory character that comes through when paired with milk, oat milk especially. The collaboration also includes a co-branded Nomad Tumbler built for iced coffee on the go.
Cyndi Chin, Business Manager for Nespresso Malaysia, said Vertuo Up is “fast enough for a weekday morning, versatile enough for a weekend afternoon over ice, and connected enough to grow with your tastes over time.”
Where to try it
The Vertuo Up machine is available now at Nespresso boutiques across Malaysia and at nespresso.com/my. If you want to see it in person, the Vertuo World roadshow runs at the Main Concourse of The Exchange TRX from 13 to 19 July 2026, with three experiential zones (Morning World, Cloud World and Pool World), live recipe demonstrations, and tastings across hot and iced preparations. The NOLA Style Blend and a curated accessories collection are part of the experience too, for a limited time.
