Nespresso Coffee Machines

Nespresso coffee makers are small and compact and are not as bulky as drip coffee machines. They sport a basic black aesthetic and range in price and complexity. Some come with a milk frother for nespresso vertuo next machine latte art and can be connected to the app used by the company to manage recipes and receive alerts about descaling.

The Essenza Mini is a simple machine that is reasonably priced, but does not have the features to make more complex drinks. Other machines can make larger drinks, such as Gran lungos.

What is an Nespresso machine?

Since 1986, Nespresso sells single-serve machines which use capsules to brew espresso and coffee drinks. The brand has a loyal following due to its ease of use speed, consistency and speed in making a hot espresso-like beverage. These machines can be an ideal alternative to brewing at-home espresso using moka pots or drip coffee maker, both of which require time and careful cleaning after each use.

A Nespresso machine makes use of a pressure system to extract the flavor of a pod. It then heats up water and it froths the milk to create coffee drinks such as lattes and cappuccinos. Nespresso has a wide variety of coffee and tea blends to fit different moods and tastes such as decaffeinated and flavor options. The machines are compact, stylish, and easy to operate which makes them the perfect choice for those who want an easy cup of coffee in the morning or a mid-day energy boost.

The Vertuo line was introduced to replace the Nespresso machines in 2014, which used the Original capsules to make espresso shots. The Essenza Mini is the smallest model in this line. It's compact, with a small water tank, and room for used capsules. Its simple operation, with just two buttons, one for espresso and the other for a lungo--makes it simple to master.

Contrary to Keurig machines that require you to manually add water prior to each use, all Nespresso models automatically dispose of any capsule that is not used after the brewing. Depending on the size of the water reservoir and capsule storage, these can hold anywhere from four to 12 pods that are used up, and are discarded into the built-in receptacle every time you open the machine.

Some of the most popular models also work with the app for mobile, 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 as well as Iced tea by using a dedicated frother room. The only drawback to the machine we tested was that it doesn't support all types of milk, requiring you to buy an additional frothing wand should you plan to make drinks with whole milk, 2%, or almond milk.

The Original Line

The Original line of pod-only machines include the stylish Citiz and the 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 19 bar of pressure, which is much higher than the 15-18 bar pumps in some of the more expensive Vertuo models.

The Vertuo machines produce foam that is more dense and more dense than the crema produced by the original machines. The crema is more than just frost. As the Spruce says, it could make up for up to 25% of an espresso's flavor. The Original line also has more expensive Creatista and Lattissima models that come with built-in milk frothers to create cappuccinos, lattes, and macchiatos with the touch of a button.

The Lattissima Line

This line of machines is ideal for people who prefer milky coffee drinks such as lattes and cappuccinos, and need a machine that can handle everything. It comes with three user-friendly recipes, and its 4.2-ounce milk container is dishwasher-safe and dishwasher-safe. It's also light, making it easy to move and store in a small space. Some customers have complained that it's not as intuitive as other Nespresso machines.

Its jug has drink-specific lines in it, so you can pre-select which beverage you'd like to make as the machine heats up. It also has a sensor that automatically stops the steaming process when the jug has run out and prevents milk waste.

The Lattissima One offers a great value for the price. It's available in four different colors including porcelain white, dark gray, and silky-white. The machine is easy to clean and has an elegant design that doesn't overwhelm small spaces. The machine is also moderately priced, with a retail cost of $385/PS279

Similar to the OriginalLine models, it has an automatic drip tray that captures any loose grounds while you pour your espresso. It's a great feature for minimizing mess, and it helps to avoid spills that could spoil the flavor of your drink.

The Pro and Gran Lattissima both have a larger water tank than the Lattissima One, allowing them to hold more water before needing to refill. Both models come with 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 issue with the Lattissima is the difficulty in changing the consistency and the density of the foam you make with your milk. The machine can only be used with skim milk (sorry Vegans and dairy-intolerant folks) and the foaming system does not work well with vegetable or almond milks. Its frothing wand can also be tricky to clean and is a common complaint among Nespresso owners. Fortunately the Lattissima Pro and Gran Lattissima have a self-cleaning mechanism that cleans the milky insides after every use of the frother.

The Vertuo Line

A Nespresso Vertuo machine makes a small cup of coffee that's perfect for espresso lovers who prefer a quick strong drink. Each capsule has a barcode around the outside of its rim, which is read by the machine's software to determine the size of drink it can create. Nespresso uses a unique extraction technology to ensure that you get the most 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 machine heats up quickly and is ready to brew in about 30 minutes. They use a smaller water tank than Original Line machines and require less maintenance. There are a myriad of models to choose from and you can pick one that is compatible with your design and budget.

Vertuo Line machines can also brew regular filter coffee, unlike the Original Line machines that only can brew Nespresso. They do this via a separate spout at the bottom of the machine.

VertuoLine machines have a brand new brewing system that softly extracts espresso and coffee by using patented centrifusion technology. This enables the creation of a natural crema that protects and improves the quality of coffee aromas. The VertuoLine system also comes with an intelligent recognition system that adjusts extraction parameters to match each Grand Cru blend.

Each VertuoLine machine is backed by a manufacturer's guarantee and comes with an initial pack of 10 free Nespresso capsules. The company offers a subscription service that delivers new krups nespresso machines caps each month.

While there are many different VertuoLine machines to pick from but the Nespresso VertuoPlus is our pick for best overall machine. It's user-friendly, quick to heat up and comes in several colors. It can make five different sizes of coffee and espresso, including a flat white, ristretto, and lungo. It also makes the latte-macchiato and can be used in conjunction with the Aeroccino Milk Frother for the creation of lattes or cappuccino.

The VertuoPlus has only one disadvantage, that it takes longer to brew compared to other machines, particularly when making an Americano. For instance, when compared to Bunn Fastbrew, which brewed 8-ounce Americano in just 42 seconds, the Nespresso VertuoPlus took 1 minute and 51 seconds. You can accelerate the process if you select an automatic mode.
