Coffee Machines For Nespresso Pods

Pod coffee machines brew your preferred drink with pre-ground, pre-packaged coffee capsules. They are a great option for those who are tight in time.

Using the pods that are compatible with it will give you the best results. We recommend using filtered water. This improves the extraction of your coffee and reduces the odours, sediment and hard water.

VertuoLine

VertuoLine is a great option for Nespresso fans who want an automated machine that can create drinks. They use a patent-pending system that relies on capsules that is simple to use and is clean. Simply drop a coffee or espresso pod into the machine, hit the button and your beverage is ready to enjoy in just a few seconds.

The machines are made to use only Nespresso's own brand of espresso and coffee pods. The capsules are patent-pending and bear a barcode on the outer edge. This provides the machine with the instructions for brewing to ensure that the right amount of water can be added. The beverage that is brewed is heated and then pushed through a small tube for drinking. This unique system eliminates separate filters making it possible to make multiple drinks in one machine.

The first-generation VertuoLine machines released in 2014 did not receive the best reviews, but Nespresso took the criticism to heart and improved the machine by releasing of the Evoluo model in 2015. The machines are brewed at a higher temperature, and also come with an expanded water tank and used capsule compartment, so you aren't able to run out of water as quickly.

The capsules are put into the VertuoLine and then ejected from the inside instead of through a slot on the side like other single-serve machines. This is a great feature that will eliminate the need to move the empty capsule to a waste container across the kitchen. It's also a smart idea that will save time.

VertuoLine models aren't as versatile as Original Line models, but they're an excellent choice if need a machine that is easy to use and simple. The machine is small and has a black design that will not interfere with your decor. It's affordable, and it's easy to install and maintain.

The machine has one downside that it takes approximately two minutes to begin making coffee. If you're always in a rush it could be a problem. It's worth it if like rich espresso, smooth coffee and creamy.

Original

For espresso and coffee lovers Nespresso is an easy one-touch solution. Nespresso machines eliminate the need for a grinder or measuring cup and produce high-quality, consistent drinks with little effort. They are also compact and can be an ideal addition to any kitchen. The wide range of lines, machines and brands can be overwhelming for a seasoned Nespresso user and that's why we've broken down the choices to help you select the best machine for your needs.

If you're looking for a single espresso shot or an entire cafe-style drink, there's a Nespresso for every preference. Original and VertuoLine are the two main lines. Original machines (the Creatista Series, the Essenza Series, and the CitiZ Series) operate like traditional espresso machines. The pod is pressurized with 19 bars of force which causes the foil to be pierced and the espresso to flow. They only make espresso not regular coffee and create a higher quality of crema.

The VertuoLine machines, introduced in 2014 to attract the North American market, use a different technology that Nespresso calls centrifusion. The machines spin the capsule seven times per minute which creates a force that extracts the coffee. The result is an untraditional crema and an adolescent, more bitter foam that Liz Clayton found less desirable than the crema produced by the Original machines.

Both machines can be programmed to alter the amount of water that they consume. However it isn't usually required. We suggest a machine with an open tank. It's simpler to clean than a fixed reservoir.

You might want to consider spending a little more on a Lattissima nespresso coffee machine for those who want to make more than espresso. These take the one-touch convenience of Nespresso to a whole new level by allowing you to select from nine different sizes of drinks, including lattes, cappuccinos and macchiatos made of latte. Unlike other Nespresso machines, which require you to pour milk into a portafilter Lattissima models have a built-in milk reservoir and an ice-making wand that can make these drinks at the touch of a button, but they also require more maintenance.

Vertuo Pop+

The Vertuo Pop is among the smallest machines from Nespresso and also one of the least expensive. It can be found at less than PS100 and is ideal for anyone looking to start experimenting with pod coffee.

It might not include all the bells, whistles and features of a more expensive machine, but it produces a fantastic espresso. It's also easy to use, with only a single button to press to make your coffee. The machine is designed to be fast and each cup takes less than 30 second to make.

Vertuo pop is also small. It has a tiny water tank on top, and a capsule bin. It can fit into even the tiniest kitchens. The machine comes with some innovative features, including the ability to shut down automatically after 2 minutes of inactivity. This saves electricity.

The main USP of the Vertuo Pop it's unique barcode system that provides it with a huge advantage over other machines on the market. Each capsule is equipped with a barcode that tells the machine how to brew it. The machine then brews the coffee in the optimal conditions for a quick and delicious coffee. The barcode also blocks third-party companies from reproducing the pods, so you can only purchase the pods through Nespresso's subscription program.

The Pop is very simple to maintain, just like other Nespresso machines. It requires periodic cleaning by using hot water and mild detergent. The Nespresso App can be used to manage the machine. This is a great way to know when to run a descaling cycle and to clean the drip tray.

The Pop is a quiet machine, so you will not be disturbed in the morning. However it can be a bit unpredictable at times and might require some patience to to perform the task it's supposed to do. The machine may be a bit slow to heat up however this isn't atypical for a pod-based coffee machine.

Vertuo Next

The Vertuo Next is Nespresso's newest and smallest pod coffee machine. It's compact and green, since it is made of recycled 54% plastic. It's a good fit for most kitchens, and has the slim profile of just 5.5 inches wide. It uses the same Centrifusion Technology as other Vertuo machines to make your favourite Nespresso Blends. Place a capsule inside the machine and press the coffee button. The machine will automatically dispose of the used capsule into a small trash can located at the back.

Once the machine is ready, the coffee icon on the button will flash. If you want to stop the machine before it is ready simply push it once more. You can press it again to dispense more coffee water but this isn't needed, as the machine will automatically adjust the amount of water it uses to suit each mix.

In contrast to other Nespresso machines, the Vertuo Next has no dials or keys to twist making it easy and quick to use. It's a great option for people who are new to coffee or who aren't interested in tinkering with settings. The machine is smaller and quieter than its predecessor, the VertuoLine Evoluo model.

Another benefit of the Vertuo Next is its smart design. The device is connected to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth which means you can control it with an app on your smartphone. The app also has helpful videos, tutorials, and updates on the machine. You can even recycle your pods through the Nespresso PodBack program.

The Vertuo is a sleek, modern design that works well with the Aeroccinno Milk Frother which can be purchased separately or as a bundle. The machine isn’t cheap, however it is constructed of top-quality materials and is built to last. It comes with an one-year warranty, and customer service is available with minimal wait times. People who enjoy Nespresso coffee will appreciate the money. But it may not be the best choice for those who prefer to tinker with settings or prefer a larger cup of coffee.
