Nespresso Machines Compared

The best Nespresso machines are slim and compact, and look modern. Many of them have milk-frothing capabilities and they can produce a variety of crema-topped espresso drinks and coffee drinks.

All Nespresso machines pierce and heat pre-portioned capsules to create various sizes of drinks with the press of the button. The different models vary by size and price as well as features.

The Original Line Original Line

The Original line of machines puncture capsules, and then pump hot steam at 19 bar pressure to create lungos or espressos in different sizes. The machines also have buttons for boiling hot and frothing milk and a small tray with capsules, and an energy saving feature that shuts off the machine after nine minutes. The sleek design of this machine as well as its water container are praised by our testers however the smaller tank may be a problem for other users.

The Vertuo Line

If you are looking for an espresso machine that can make coffee and espresso, the Vertuo Line may be right for you. These machines use barcodes in specially designed capsules that ensure the best volume and strength every time. This ensures that you can enjoy your favorite drinks without having to be concerned about pressing the wrong button or losing your choice. Furthermore, these machines are compatible with Nespresso's Aeroccino milk frother which is one of our top choices for making delicious cappuccinos and lattes.

The first VertuoLine machines were introduced in 2014, and even though they weren't highly rated, 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 offer an array of colors to match your kitchen's décor.

Another benefit of the Vertuo Line is that these machines work with all Nespresso capsules and capsules from brands like Williams Sonoma and illy. In contrast the Original Line only works with white nespresso machine-branded capsules.

One of the top models available is the Nespresso Vertuo Plus, which was released in 2016. It has an ideal heating time and energy-saving mode to help you reduce your electric bill. It is also Wi-Fi enabled and Bluetooth compatible, which means you can connect your device to receive maintenance alerts and notifications. The swiveling water tank can be moved to accommodate different countertop configurations, while the capsule drawer opens and closes by pressing a button.

The VertuoPlus is easy to use and features an incredibly compact design that requires only a tiny counter space. Its brewing is streamlined and it uses Centrifusion which is a unique extraction technique to produce high-quality results. The small water tank could be a little limiting factor for some users however, it will only be a minor inconvenience. The machine also comes with several settings that can be programmed to accommodate your individual tastes. The machine comes with a button for iced drinks making it simple to create the perfect iced latte or coffee.

The Essenza Line

The Essenza line is Nespresso Makers's smallest pod machine. It's small and reasonably priced. It makes a great coffee or cup in only minutes. The machines in this line can brew either an espresso or a lungo with 19 bars of pressure. You can also reprogramme the machines to brew smaller drinks, such as an espresso or a Ristretto. This is a great choice for those who don't want to make whole-lattice drinks, but still want the taste of Nespresso.

If you're serious about your coffee, we suggest you purchase one of the Original line. They make a better espresso and are easier to customize than the Vertuo models. If you have a limited space then the Essenza Mini will be a ideal option.

The design of the Essenza Mini makes it a excellent choice. 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 fit into an empty space close to the kitchen appliances. It comes in five different colors to match any style of décor.

Nespresso machines that use only pods are incredibly easy to use. The Essenza Mini has just two buttons: one for an espresso, and another for lungo. The espresso button gives a double shot of espresso while the lungo button creates a full cup. Nespresso's website offers videos that show you how to go about changing the program to make other sizes.

The machine is also easy to clean. The capsule container is easy to dispose of, and both the reservoir for water and the tray that is reusable are easily accessible to clean and refill. The digital display will inform you when it's time to descale and the number of capsules you have left.

The downside to this super-simple machine is that it can only make two sizes of coffee and doesn't include an milk frother. Combining it with an additional frothering device, you can make barista-quality lattes and cappuccinos at home, however this adds complexity and expense to your coffee maker.

The CitiZ Line

The Nespresso CitiZ Original Line machine is sleek and compact, with a tiny footprint. It is powered by Nespresso classic capsules and is available with or without the use of a frother. It is easy to use and maintain. The machine is heated in 25 seconds and has an energy-saving function that switches it off after 9 minutes of inactivity.

The CitiZ makes each capsule with a high degree of precision. The 19-bar high-performance pump helps extract the delicate flavors and superior aromas in each pod, resulting in an unctuous crema. In actual fact it produces more rich crema than many of its competitors, which means it makes the best tasting cup of coffee.

The CitiZ is a great option if you don't wish to purchase a costly machine that produces steam. It's also a good choice for those who are new to espresso-making because it is extremely user-friendly. All you need to do is insert the capsule, press the button, and you'll get a cup of delicious, freshly-brewed espresso.

The CitiZ is not just fast and simple to use, but it also has functional features that make it distinct from other models of its kind. For instance, it has a cup tray that folds down and allows you to use any size mug that you have in your kitchen. The machine also has a small bin that stores capsules that are used under the spout. This is a fantastic feature since it eliminates the need to remove capsules manually.

You can use any capsule blend you like with the CitiZ however, you may have to try a few different blends to discover the one that works for you. The machine produces robust, full-bodied and strong coffee with a thick cap. It's also quiet, which is a bonus for people who live in apartments.

The CitiZ does not come with foaming options for milk, but you can get it for an additional cost. It doesn't have hot water dispenser therefore you'll have to boil water yourself in case you wish to make more than two cups at a time.
