15 Top Pinterest Boards Of All Time About Nespresso Machine Nespresso Coffee Machines

Nespresso coffee makers are compact and small, unlike drip coffee machines. They have a basic black look and range in terms of price and complexity. Some include a milk froth for latte art and can be connected to the app of the company to manage recipes and receive descaling alerts.

The simplest machines, like our favorite the Essenza Mini, are simple and inexpensive, but they do not have features that make more complicated drinks. Other machines can make larger sizes of drinks like gran lungos.

What is a Nespresso Machine?

Since 1986, Nespresso sells single-serve machines that use capsules to make coffee and espresso. The brand has gained a loyal fan base thanks to its ease of use, speed and consistency when brewing a hot espresso-like drink. These machines are an excellent alternative to making at-home espresso using a moka pot or drip coffee maker both of which take time and careful cleaning after each use.

A Nespresso machine uses pressure to extract the flavor of the pod, then it heats water and froths milk for coffee drinks like lattes and cappuccinos. Nespresso offers a variety of coffee and tea blends that can be adapted to different moods and tastes as well as decaffeinated and flavored options. Their machines are small elegant, stylish and easy to operate and make them a great choice for those who need an easy cup of coffee in the morning or a mid-day energy boost.

Original Nespresso machines, which make espresso-like shots using the company's Original capsules were the only machines available until 2014, when the Vertuo line was launched. The Essenza Mini is the smallest model of this line. It's compact and has a small water tank and room for capsules that are used. Its simple operation, with just two buttons one for espresso, and another for lungo is easy to master.

All Nespresso machines automatically dispose of used capsules after brewing. This is unlike Keurig machines that require you to manually add the water every time. These machines can store between four and twelve pods used up, based on the size of their water reservoirs and capsule storage. They are then thrown away into the built-in receptacle each time you open the machine.

Some of the most popular models can be used with the mobile app developed by the brand, which lets users to create custom recipes and to reorder capsules from home. This feature was tested on the sleek stainless steel Vertuo Creatista. It also allows you to make hot coffee and iced tea with a separate frothing room. The only drawback to the machine we test was that it didn't support all milk varieties and requires you to purchase an additional frothing tool if you plan to make drinks with whole milk, 2%, or almond milk.

The Original Line Original Line

The Original line of pod machines includes the elegant Citiz Mini and the Essenza Mini. Both models pierce the capsule, pump hot water at high pressure through it and then deliver an espresso or lungo. The original machines utilize a higher pressure of 19 bars than the Vertuo models, which have pumps of 15 to 18 bars.

The Vertuo machines produce an espresso that is more rich and thicker than the crema created by the Original machines. The crema isn't just frost. As the Spruce says, it could make up as much as 25 percent of an espresso's flavor. The Original line also has more expensive Creatista and Lattissima machines that have built-in milk frothers to make lattes, cappuccinos and macchiatos with the touch of an button.

The Lattissima Line


This line of machines is perfect for people who prefer milky coffee drinks like lattes and cappuccinos and need a machine that can do 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 areas. Some users claim that it is not as intuitive as other Nespresso machines.

The jug of this machine has lines that show the kind of beverage you'd like to drink. You can pick your beverage while the machine is heating up. It also has a sensor that automatically stops the steaming process when the jug is empty and prevents the waste of milk.

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 a minimalist design that won't overwhelm smaller spaces. The machine is also reasonably priced, with a suggested retail cost of $385/PS279

It has an automatic drip tray, just like the OriginalLine models. This tray will catch any loose ground while you pour espresso. This feature is ideal for minimizing mess and preventing overflow, which can ruin the flavor of your espresso.

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

The only drawback to the Lattissima line is the difficulty in adjusting the consistency of the foam you make. The machine only works with almond or skim milk. Sorry Vegans and those who are allergic to dairy. The wand that froths can be tricky to clean and is a common complaint among Nespresso owners. Fortunately, the Lattissima Pro and Gran Lattissima come with a self-cleaning system which cleans the milky intestines after each use of the frother.

The Vertuo Line

A Nespresso Vertuo machine makes a small cup of coffee that's perfect for those who love espresso and prefer a quick and intense drink. Each capsule has an engraved barcode on its outer rim that is read by the machine's computer to determine what size beverage it should create. Nespresso's Vertuo capsules are extracted using an innovative technology.

The Vertuo Line offers a wide range of different drinks, including Ristretto (mini espresso), Espresso, Lungo, Americano and Cappuccino. The machines can also be used 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 have a smaller reservoir for water than the Original Line and require less maintenance. There are many models available that you can choose one that suits your home's style as well as your budget.

Vertuo Line machines can also brew regular filter coffee, unlike the Original Line machines that only make Nespresso. They do this through an additional spout located at the bottom of the machine.

VertuoLine machines are equipped with a brand new brewing technology that uses centrifusion to gently extract coffee and espresso. 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 warranty and includes the starter pack of 10 free Nespresso capsules. The company also offers an annual subscription service that provides new Nespresso capsules each month.

The Nespresso VertuoPlus machine is the top overall machine. It is easy to use, heats up quickly and comes in a range of colors. It can create five different sizes of espresso and coffee including flat white, ristretto and lungo. nespresso machines compared can also make an espresso-latte, and it can be used with the Aeroccino Milk Frother to make cappuccino or lattes.

The only issue with the VertuoPlus is that it takes a little longer to prepare than other machines, specifically when making an Americano. Comparing the Bunn Fastbrew to the Nespresso VertuoPlus which can brew an 8-ounce Americano in 42 seconds, the VertuoPlus took just 1 minute and 51 seconds. You can accelerate the process if you select an automatic mode.
