Nespresso Machines Compared The most effective Nespresso machine is slim, compact and looks modern. Most offer milk-frothing capabilities, and they can produce a variety of crema-topped espresso and coffee drinks. All Nespresso machines are pierced and heat pre-portioned capsules to create various sizes of drinks at the touch of the button. The various models differ in size, price and features. The Original Line The Original line machines pierce capsules, and then pump hot steam at 19 bar pressure to create lungos or espressos of different sizes. They also have buttons for hot milk and frothing, a tiny tray for the capsule, and an energy-saving feature that shuts off after nine minutes of inactivity. The sleek design of this machine and its water container are highly praised by our test subjects, but the smaller tank might be a problem for some. The Vertuo Line If you are looking for a nespresso machine that will make espresso and coffee, the Vertuo Line could be the right choice for you. These machines use barcodes on their specially-designed capsules to brew the perfect strength and volume each time. This lets you enjoy your favourite drinks without having to be concerned about pressing the wrong button or losing the drink you want. These machines can be combined with the Aeroccino milk frother from Nespresso which we adore for making delicious lattes and capspuccinos. The first VertuoLine machines were released in 2014, and even though they didn't come highly recommended, Nespresso listened to customer feedback and fixed the problem with the release of the Evoluo machine in 2015. The new Vertuo models are more user-friendly than their predecessors and also come with various color options to complement your kitchen decor. Vertuo machines can also be used with capsules from other brands, like Williams Sonoma or illy. The Original Line, on the contrary, is only compatible with Nespresso capsules. One of the best models is the Nespresso Vertuo Plus, which was released in 2016. The model comes with an energy-saving mode and optimum heating time to help you save on your electricity bill. It's also Wi-Fi and Bluetooth compatible, meaning you can connect your device to receive maintenance alerts and notifications. The swiveling tank for water can be adjusted to accommodate different countertop configurations, and the used capsule drawer can be closed and opened with a press of a button. VertuoPlus has a compact, easy-to-use design that requires only a small counter space. Its brewing process is efficient and uses Centrifusion which is a unique extraction technique to produce top-quality results. The small water tank is a bit of a drawback but it's an issue for most users. The machine also offers several settings that can be programmed to suit your personal preferences. This includes an iced beverage option, which makes it simple to create the perfect Iced coffee or latte. The Essenza Line The Essenza line is Nespresso's entry-level pod machine. It's compact and affordable, brewing a a great cup of coffee or espresso in a matter of minutes. The machines in this line brew either an espresso or lungo using 19 bars of pressure. They can also be reprogrammed to make smaller drinks, like a ristretto, and you can select the size you want at the push of a button. This is a great choice for people who aren't interested in brewing whole-lattice drinks, but are still looking for the same quality as a Nespresso. If you're serious about your coffee, we suggest an espresso machine from the Original line instead. They make a better cup of espresso and are more easy to customize than Vertuo models. However, if you're strapped on space the Essenza Mini is hard to beat. Another reason why the Essenza Mini is a great choice is the design. Its slim minimalist frame makes it a great addition to any kitchen. It occupies less space than a hot water kettle, and it's easy to slide into an empty space near your kitchen appliances. It is available in five different colors that can be matched to any style of décor. Nespresso's pod-only machines are extremely easy to use. The Essenza Mini has just two buttons: one for an espresso, and one for a lungo. The espresso button makes a double shot of espresso while the lungo button creates an entire cup. The Nespresso website includes videos that explain how to re-program the machine to work with other sizes. It is also easy to clean. The removable capsule container can be disposed of easily and both the reservoir for water and the tray that is reusable can be easily accessed for cleaning and refilling. The digital display will tell you when to descale and the number of capsules you have left. This super-simple machine has two sizes of drinks, however it doesn't come with a milk frother. Combining it with a separate frothing device allows you to enjoy quality barista lattes and cappuccinos however, this adds cost and complexity to your coffee maker at home. The CitiZ Line The Nespresso CitiZ Original Line machine is sleek and compact with a small footprint. It uses Nespresso classic capsules, and is available with or without the use of a frother. It is easy to operate and maintain. The machine heats up in just 25 seconds and an energy-saving feature turns it off after nine minutes of idleness. The CitiZ blends each capsule with precision. The high-performance pump that has a pressure of 19 bars helps extract the delicate aromas and flavors of each capsule, resulting in an incredibly creamy crema. In actual fact the machine produces more rich crema than many of its competitors, which means it makes an excellent cup of coffee. If you don't want to purchase a more expensive machine with a steam wand, the CitiZ is a good choice. It's also a great choice for those who are new to espresso making because it's very user-friendly. All you need to do is place it in the capsule, press the button, and you'll have an espresso cup that is delicious, freshly-brewed espresso. The CitiZ isn't just quick and simple to use, but it also has some useful features that help it stand out from other models of its kind. It has a folding tray that lets you use any mug size you own. The machine comes with an extra small container that stores capsules that are used under the spout. coffeee is an excellent feature as it will eliminate the need to remove capsules manually. You can make any capsule blend that you want with the CitiZ however, you may need to experiment a bit to find one that works well for you. The machine can produce an intense full-bodied espresso as well as a thick cap of crema. The machine is also quiet, which is a bonus for apartment dwellers. The CitiZ does not come with a milk foaming option, but you can add it for an additional cost. It doesn't have hot water dispenser, therefore you'll have to boil water yourself if you want to make more than two cups at a time.
