Nespresso Coffee Machines

Nespresso nespesso coffee machine makers are small and compact, unlike drip coffee machines. They sport a basic black aesthetic and range in price and sophistication. Some come with a milk frother for latte art, and can be linked to the company's app to manage recipes and receive descaling notifications.

The most basic machines, such as our choice, the Essenza Mini, are simple and inexpensive, but they do not have features that make more complicated drinks. Other machines can also make larger drinks, like grand lungos.

What is a Nespresso Machine?

Since 1986, Nespresso has marketed single-serve machines that utilize capsules to make coffee drinks and espresso. The brand has gained a loyal fan base because of its ease, speed and consistency in making hot espresso drinks. These machines are an excellent alternative to making espresso at home with a moka pot, both of which require a lot of time and attention after each use.

A Nespresso machine uses pressure to extract the flavor from a pod, then heats water and froths milk for coffee drinks such as lattes and cappuccinos. Nespresso offers a wide selection of coffee and blends that can be customized to suit your preferences and mood, including decaffeinated and flavored choices. The machines are stylish, compact, and easy-to-use, making the perfect option for those who want to grab a quick cup of tea or coffee in the afternoon.

The Vertuo line was introduced to replace the Nespresso machines in 2014, which utilized capsules from the Original capsules to make espresso shots. The Essenza Mini is the smallest model in this line. It is compact and comes with a tiny water tank and space for capsules that are used. Its simple operation, using just two buttons--one for an espresso and the other for a lungo--makes it easy to master.

Contrary to Keurig machines that require the user to manually add water prior to every use, all Nespresso models automatically discard the capsules that are used after making. Depending on the size of the reservoir and capsule storage, these can hold up to 12 used pods, which are discarded into the built-in receptacle when you open the machine.

Some of the most popular models are also compatible with the mobile app of the brand, which allows you to make your own recipes and reorder capsules from home. This feature was tested on the sleek stainless steel Vertuo Creatista. It also allows you to make hot coffee makers nespresso as well as iced tea using a dedicated frothing room. The only issue with the machine we test is that it doesn't support all milk types. You'll need to purchase a separate frothing device in order to make drinks with whole almond, 2% or 2% milk.

The Original Line

The Original line of pod-only machines includes the stylish Citiz and Essenza Mini. Both machines are pierced by the capsule and then pump hot water at a high pressure through it, delivering an espresso or a lungo. The original machines utilize an increased pressure of 19 bars than some of the Vertuo models, which use pumps of 15 to 18 bars.

The Original machines produce a crema (a thin layer of tiny microbubbles layered on the top of the espresso) which is more dense and more rich than the foam found in the Vertuo line. The crema is more than just froth, though--as the Spruce states, it could be responsible for as much as one quarter of espresso's flavor. The Original line also comes with more expensive Creatista and Lattissima models that have built-in milk frothers to create cappuccinos, lattes, and macchiatos at the push of a button.

The Lattissima Line

This line of machines is ideal for those who like milky coffee drinks such as lattes and cappuccinos, and need a machine that can handle everything. It comes with three different recipes and its 4.2 1 ounce milk container can be taken out and washed in the dishwasher. It's also light, which makes it easy to transport and store in a tight space. However, some users say it's not as easy to use as other Nespresso models.

The jug of this machine is marked with lines that indicate the type of beverage you want. You can choose your beverage while the machine is heating up. It comes with a sensor that stops steaming at the moment it is unable to make milk.

The Lattissima One is a good value for the money It's available in four colors that include black with gray accents, dark gray, porcelain white, and silky white. The machine is easy to clean and has a minimalistic aesthetic that won't overwhelm smaller spaces. The machine is also moderately priced, with a suggested retail cost of $385/PS279

It has an automatic drip tray, similar to the OriginalLine models. The tray is designed to catch any loose ground when you pour espresso. It's a great feature to reduce mess, and it helps prevent overflow which could affect the taste of your coffee.

The Pro and Gran Lattissima have larger water tanks than the Lattissima One. This allows them to hold more liquid without having to refill. These two models have a quicker heat-up time (15 seconds for an Espresso and 25 seconds for Lungo) and hot water functions that can be used to make iced or tea.

The only real disadvantage of the Lattissima line is the difficulty in altering the consistency of the foam you make. The machine is only compatible with skim or almond milk. Sorry Vegans and those who are intolerant to dairy. The wand that froths is difficult to clean. This is a typical complaint from Nespresso users. The Lattissima Pro or Gran Lattissima comes with a self-cleaning feature that cleans out the milky insides of the frothing wand after each use.

The Vertuo Line

A nespresso coffee maker Vertuo machine makes a small cup of coffee that's ideal for espresso lovers who prefer a short and intense drink. The machine reads the barcode on the outer edge of each capsule to determine the amount of coffee it should make. Nespresso utilizes an exclusive extraction method to ensure that you get the most flavor from each Vertuo pod.

Vertuo Line has a variety of drinks like Ristretto, Espresso, Lungo (mini espresso), Americano, and Cappuccino. The machines also are compatible with the Nespresso Aeroccino milk frother to make frothy cappuccinos and lattes.

Each Vertuo Line coffee machine heats quickly and is ready for brewing in less than 30 seconds. They use a smaller water tank than Original Line machines and require less maintenance. There are a variety of models available that you can choose one that fits your style and budget.

Vertuo Line machines can also make regular filter coffee, unlike Original Line machines that only brew Nespresso. This is done through the spout, which is that is located at the bottom of the machine.

VertuoLine machines feature a new brewing system that gently extracts espresso and coffee using the unique centrifusion technology. This creates natural crema that is safe for and enhances the quality of coffee aromas. The VertuoLine System also has an intelligent recognition feature that adjusts the extraction parameters to each Grand Cru blend.

Each VertuoLine machine comes with a manufacturer's assurance and an initial pack of nespresso Machine black friday capsules. The company also offers an optional subscription service that delivers fresh new Nespresso capsules each month.

The Nespresso VertuoPlus machine is the top overall machine. It's user-friendly, quick to heat up and comes in several colors. It can produce five different sizes of coffee and espresso including a ristretto lungo, espresso and flat white. It also brews a Latte macchiato, and can be combined together with the Aeroccino milk mixer to make a cappuccino, or latte.

The only issue with the VertuoPlus is that it takes a little longer to brew than other machines, especially when making an Americano. Comparing the Bunn Fastbrew to the Nespresso VertuoPlus which can make an 8-ounce Americano within 42 seconds, the VertuoPlus took just 1 minute and 51 seconds. You can speed up the process by choosing an automatic mode.
