Nespresso Coffee Machines Contrary to drip coffee makers Nespresso models are small and compact. They're black in color and range in terms of price and complexity. Some have a milk frother to make latte art, and they can be connected with an app to manage recipes or receive notifications about descaling. The Essenza Mini is a simple machine that is inexpensive however it lacks the features required to make complex drinks. Other machines can brew bigger drinks, such as Gran lungos. What is an 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 thanks to its ease speed, consistency and speed in making a hot espresso-like beverage. These machines can be an ideal alternative to brewing at-home espresso with moka pots or drip coffee maker each of which requires time and careful cleaning after each use. A Nespresso machine uses pressure to extract the flavor from a pod, then heats water and froths milk to create coffee drinks such as lattes or cappuccinos. Nespresso offers a wide selection of coffee and tea blends that can be adapted to different moods and tastes, including flavored and decaffeinated choices. Their machines are sleek and compact, making them easy to use and make the perfect option for those who want to grab a quick cup of tea or coffee in the afternoon. Original Nespresso machines that make espresso-like shots using the company's Original capsules were the only machines on the market until 2014, when the Vertuo line was launched. The smallest model in this line is the Essenza Mini, which is extremely compact, with a small water tank and a space for used capsules. Its simple operation, with just two buttons – one for an espresso and another for lungo is easy to master. Contrary to Keurig machines, which require the user to manually add water before every use, all Nespresso models automatically dispose of any capsule that is not used after making. They can store between four and twelve pods used up, based on the size of their water reservoirs as well as capsule storage. They are then disposed of in the built-in receptacle each time you open the machine. A few of the most sought-after models are compatible with the mobile app of the brand, which allows you customize recipes and reorder capsules from home. We tested this feature on the sleek stainless steel Vertuo Creatista, which also lets you make hot chocolate and iced coffee with an ice-making chamber that is specifically designed for frothing. The only downside of the machine we tested is that it does not support all types of milk. You will need to purchase a separate frothing machine for making drinks using whole, 2% or almond milk. The Original Line Original Line The Original line of pod-only machines includes the stylish Citiz and the Essenza Mini. Both models are pierced by the capsule, and then pump hot water under high pressure, and produce an espresso or lungo. The original machines utilize an increased pressure of 19 bars than the Vertuo models that have pumps that range from 15 to 18 bars. The Original machines produce a crema (a thin layer of tiny microbubbles that sits on top of the espresso) that is thicker and more rich than the foam of the Vertuo line. The crema is more than just froth. As the Spruce says, it could make up as much as 25% of an espresso's flavor. The Original line is more expensive and comes with Creatista or Lattissima espresso machines that have built-in milk frothers to make cappuccinos and lattes at the push of one button. The Lattissima Line This line of machines is perfect for those who enjoy milky coffee drinks like lattes and cappuccinos and need a machine that does everything. It comes with three user-friendly recipes, and its 4.2-ounce milk container is removable and dishwasher safe. It is also lightweight and easy to store and move in small spaces. Some customers have complained that it's not as intuitive as other Nespresso machines. The jug's drink-specific lines are etched into it, so you can pre-select which beverage you'd like to prepare before the machine heats up. It also comes with a sensor that automatically stops the steaming process when the jug runs out and prevents the waste 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. It's easy to clean and has a minimalistic aesthetic that won't overwhelm smaller rooms. It's also reasonably priced, with a retail price of $385/PS279. It comes with an automatic drip tray similar to the OriginalLine models. This tray catches any loose ground while you pour espresso. It's a nice feature to minimize mess, and it helps prevent overflow that could spoil the flavor of your drink. The Pro and Gran Lattissima have larger water tanks than the Lattissima One. This allows them to hold more liquid without needing to refill. Both models also have a speedier heat-up time (as as short as 15 seconds for espresso and 25 seconds for lungo) and have an enhanced hot water function for making tea or iced coffee. 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 milk (sorry Vegans and dairy-intolerant folks), and the foaming system doesn't work well with almond or vegetable milks. The wand for frothing is difficult to clean. This is a frequent complaint from Nespresso users. Fortunately, the Lattissima Pro and Gran Lattissima have a self-cleaning mechanism that cleans the milky innards after each use of the frother. The Vertuo Line The Nespresso Vertuo makes a small, concentrated cup of coffee. It's the perfect choice for those who love espresso. The machine reads the barcode on the outside rim of each capsule in order to determine how much coffee it can make. Nespresso's Vertuo pods are extracted using an exclusive technology. The Vertuo Line offers a wide selection of different drinks including Ristretto (mini espresso), Espresso, Lungo, Americano and Cappuccino. The machines can be combined with the Nespresso Aeroccino Milk Frother to make frothy lattes and cappuccinos. Each Vertuo Line coffee machine heats quickly and is ready to brew in less than 30 seconds. They have a smaller water tank than the Original Line machines and require less maintenance. There are a myriad of models to choose from and you can pick one that fits your home's design and budget. Unlike nespresso magimix coffee machine , which only make Nespresso capsules, the Vertuo Line also brews regular, filter-brewed coffee. This is accomplished by an additional spout that is that is located at the bottom of the machine. VertuoLine machines come with a revolutionary brewing technique that makes use of centrifusion to gently extract coffee and espresso. This allows the creation of an organic crema that preserves and enhances the quality of coffee aromas. The VertuoLine System also has an intelligent recognition feature that adjusts the extraction parameters according to each Grand Cru blend. Each VertuoLine machine comes with a manufacturer's guarantee and an initial pack of Nespresso capsules. The company also offers an annual subscription service that provides new Nespresso caps each month. The Nespresso VertuoPlus machine is the most efficient machine overall. It's easy to operate and heats up quickly and comes in several colors. It can make five different sizes of espresso and coffee, including a flat white, ristretto and lungo. It also makes a latte-macchiato, and it can be used with the Aeroccino Milk Frother for the creation of lattes or cappuccino. The only drawback to the VertuoPlus is that it takes a little longer to brew than other machines, specifically when making an Americano. For instance, if you compare it to Bunn Fastbrew, which brewed 8 ounces of Americano in just 42 seconds, the Nespresso VertuoPlus took 1 minute and 51 seconds. You can speed up the process by making sure you select an automatic mode.
