Nespresso Coffee Machines Unlike drip coffee makers, Nespresso models are small and compact. They are black in color and vary in price and complexity. Some come with a milk frother for latte art and can be connected to the company's app to manage recipes and receive alerts about descaling. The Essenza Mini is a simple machine that is affordable, but does not have the features to make more complex drinks. Other machines can brew larger sizes of drinks like Gran Lungos. What is what is a Nespresso machine? Since 1986, Nespresso sells single-serve machines that use capsules to make coffee drinks and espresso. The brand has an army of loyal fans thanks to the speed, ease, and consistency with which their machines make an espresso-like hot beverage. These machines are an excellent alternative to making at home espresso using moka pots or drip coffee maker each of which requires some time and careful cleaning after each use. A Nespresso machine makes use of pressure to extract the flavor of a pod, then heats water and froths milk to make coffee drinks like lattes and cappuccinos. Nespresso provides a range of coffee and blends that can be customized to suit your mood and taste, including decaffeinated and flavored options. Their machines are compact elegant, stylish, and simple to use, making them the ideal choice for those who need an instant cup of coffee in the morning or a mid-day refreshment. Original Nespresso machines that brew espresso-style shots from the company's Original capsules, were the only machines available until 2014 which was when the Vertuo line was introduced. The Essenza Mini is the smallest model in this line. It is compact, with a small water tank, and room for used capsules. Its simple operation, with just two buttons, one for an espresso and the other for a lungo—makes it simple to master. In contrast to Keurig machines that require you to add water manually before each use, all Nespresso models automatically discard any capsule that is not used after making. They can store anywhere from four up to twelve pods used up, based on the size of their water reservoirs and capsule storage. They are then disposed of into a built in receptacle every time you open the machine. Some of the more well-known models are also compatible with the mobile app of the brand, which allows you to customize recipes and reorder capsules from your home. This feature was tested on the sleek stainless steel Vertuo Creatista. It also allows you to make hot coffee and Iced tea by using a dedicated frothing room. The only drawback of the machine we test is that it does not support all types of milk. You will need to purchase a separate frothing device for making drinks with whole or 2% almond milk. The Original Line The Original line of pod-only machines includes the sleek Citiz and the Essenza Mini. Both models penetrate the capsule, then pump hot water under high pressure through it, and produce an espresso or lungo. The original machines employ 19 bars of pressure, which is much higher than the 15-18 bar pumps found in the more expensive Vertuo models. The original machines create a crema (a thin layer of tiny microbubbles that sits on top of the espresso) which is more dense and richer than the foam found in the Vertuo line. The crema is more than just froth. However, as the Spruce says, it can account for up to one quarter of espresso's taste. The Original line is more expensive and comes with Creatista or Lattissima espresso machine with built-in milk frothers that can make lattes and cappuccinos with the push of the button. The Lattissima Line This line is ideal for those looking for an appliance that can make cappuccinos lattes, and other milky coffee drinks. It has three customizable one-touch recipes and its 4.2-ounce milk container is reusable and dishwasher-safe. It's also light and easy to store and move around in small areas. However, some users complain that it's not as intuitive to use as other Nespresso models. Its jug has drink-specific lines in it, so you can decide beforehand which drink you want to make while the machine heats up. It is equipped with a sensor that stops steaming at the moment it runs out of milk. The Lattissima One offers a great value for the price. It's available in four colors including porcelain white, dark gray and silky-white. The machine is easy to clean and features a a minimalist aesthetic that won't overwhelm small spaces. It is also reasonably priced, with a suggested retail cost of $385/PS279 It comes with an automatic drip tray just like the OriginalLine models. This tray catches any loose ground as you pour espresso. It's a nice option to minimize mess, and it helps prevent overflow which could affect the taste of your beverage. The Pro and Gran Lattissima have larger water tanks than the Lattissima One. nespresso coffeee machine allows them to hold more water without having to refill. These two models also have a faster heating process (as little as 15 seconds for an espresso and 25 seconds for lungo) and have an enhanced hot water function to make tea or iced coffee. The only real drawback of the Lattissima line is the difficulty of altering the consistency of the milk foam. The machine only works with skim or almond milk. Sorry vegans and those who are intolerant to dairy. The wand for frothing is difficult to clean. This is a common complaint from Nespresso users. The Lattissima Pro or Gran Lattissima comes with a self-cleaning feature that removes the milky insides of the frothing wand after every use. The Vertuo Line A Nespresso Vertuo machine makes a small cup of coffee that's perfect for espresso lovers who prefer a quick, intense drink. The machine reads the barcode on the outside rim of each capsule in order to determine how much coffee it should make. Nespresso utilizes a unique extraction technology to ensure that you get the best flavor from each Vertuo pod. Vertuo Line has a variety of drinks, including Ristretto, Espresso, Lungo (mini espresso), Americano, and Cappuccino. The machines also are compatible with the Nespresso Aeroccino milk frother to create frothy lattes and cappuccinos. Each Vertuo Line coffee machine heats quickly and is ready for brewing in less than 30 seconds. They have a smaller water reservoir than the Original Line and require less maintenance. There are several models to choose from, so you can find the one that is compatible with your style and budget. Vertuo Line machines can also make regular filter coffee, unlike the Original Line machines that only make Nespresso. This is accomplished by an additional spout that is situated at the bottom of machine. VertuoLine machines feature a new system of brewing that gently extracts espresso and coffee using the patented centrifusion technology. This allows the creation of natural crema that protects and enhances coffee aromas. The VertuoLine System also has an intelligent recognition feature that can adjust the extraction parameters according to each Grand Cru blend. Each VertuoLine machine comes with a manufacturer's guarantee and a starter pack of Nespresso capsules. The company also offers a subscription service that delivers fresh new Nespresso capsules each month. There are a variety of VertuoLine machines to choose from but the Nespresso VertuoPlus is our pick for best overall machine. It's simple to operate and quick to heat up and comes in a variety of colors. It can make five different sizes of espresso and coffee, including a ristretto, lungo, espresso and flat white. It also makes an espresso-latte, and it can be used with the Aeroccino Milk Frother to make lattes or cappuccino. The VertuoPlus' only downside is that it takes longer to brew when compared to other machines, especially when making an Americano. Comparing the Bunn Fastbrew with the Nespresso VertuoPlus, which can brew an 8-ounce Americano within 42 seconds, the VertuoPlus took 1 minute and 51 seconds. It is possible to speed up the process by selecting an automatic mode.
