Best Capsule Coffee Machine Tips From The Top In The Business

The Best Capsule Coffee Machines of 2017

This machine is perfect for Nespresso fans who want to get rid of the tiny pods. It works with larger Vertuo capsules, reading the barcode to automatically adjust settings to suit your desired drink size.

It offers ristretto and espresso options as well as the option to save drinks you've made. It also features a height-adjustable dripping tray and an energy-saving sleep setting.

1. Nespresso Vertuo Plus

The Nespresso Vertuo Plus is one of two new models to join the Nespresso range in 2017. It is smaller than other models and can fit into smaller spaces. And it comes with a broader selection of colors, too.

The machine utilizes the latest incarnation of Nespresso's pod-based coffee system. Vertuo Plus spins the capsule at up to 7000rpm, instead of cutting it to release hot water into it. The brew is made by mixing ground coffee and water. The capsule drips out of the smaller holes of 18 and through the central hole and gives your drink a richer crema. The machine is able to make espresso drinks and lungo-style drinks that are longer in length.

It scans a barcode at the bottom of each capsule, allowing it to customize its blending process to suit each. It isn't possible to use capsules from other brands that use Vertuo plus because only Nespresso capsules come with a barcode.

There's only a single button to press on the top of the machine and it's a breeze to use. Simply press the silver lever at the front and it raises to reveal a space for the pod you want to use. Place the pod in place and press the single button to start brewing.

The machine comes with a 40-ounce reservoir of water and automatically removes capsules that are used from the inside. It can heat up in a time of about 15 seconds, and an automatic shut-off after nine minutes. It's a stylish device that is reliable and simple to use with very little maintenance. However, if you wish to minimize the production of waste with this type of system, make sure to set up an efficient recycling program for the pods that are no longer being used.

2. Lavazza Vertuo Pop

This compact machine by Lavazza can add a touch of elegance to your coffee corner. Its clever Centrifusion technology scans the barcode of the capsule of your choice and then dispensing exactly the right amount water to make your perfect cup. It is available in a variety of colors and can make up five different sizes, including gran latte and double espresso.

This machine is a little more sophisticated than Nespresso machines, since it can heat and dispense milk. It's still more secure than a traditional home espresso machine, and is a good choice for those who don't feel at ease using a manual espresso maker. The Jolie comes with a large lever that can be opened and closed by the capsule slot. A 0.9-litre tank can be inserted behind it. The large capsule bin can hold up to ten empty capsules.

Like the Vertuo Plus, it's also easy to use and warms up within a matter of minutes. It's also very quiet and consumes very little energy, making it an excellent choice for electric bills.

The only drawback to this model is that it can only use Lavazza's own capsules rather than the range of Nespresso capsules. This isn't an issue for the majority of people, but could be for those who are interested in changing brands. If you choose to purchase this machine, make sure you purchase a set of 100 capsules that can be reused with your purchase. These capsules are not inexpensive, but they'll save you money over time as they are cheaper than Nespresso pods.

3. Tassimo My Way

Fully automatic machine that has a very simple operation. It has a large cup platform that can be placed at different heights, to fit tall glasses and small espresso cups, and it's straightforward to select the settings you prefer using numbered buttons. You can also save four individual variations making it a great choice for families and couples with differing tastes. The machine is energy efficient and comes with an easy-to-read indicator that lets you know when it's time to descaling (which requires an instruction disc to be tucked in the slot).

It's designed to work like all Tassimo systems using the company's brand barcoded T Discs which include everything from cold drinks tea, coffee, and hot chocolate, to cool, frothy milk. Intellibrew technology detects the type and adjusts the timing as well as temperature and strength to match. This helps you avoid accidentally changing settings that are not sensible like the strength of coffee with milk. It also ensures that your drink is consistently delicious.

The My Way 2 has a great range of flavours to choose from, featuring more than 50 famous brands including Costa favourites, Kenco, L'OR and Cadbury's. You can make cappuccinos, lattes and even frothy Americanos.

The My Way 2 has an energy-saving standby mode and it's easy to clean. The water tank is easy to remove and is filled with fresh tap water. It doesn't come with a built-in mechanism to dispose of old T Discs. Instead it has partnered with Podback which is a recycling company which allows you to recycle the discs using an online program.

4. Jolie

Jolie is a small pod coffee machine that has been on the market since only a few years. It is able to compete against newer models. Its slim, compact body occupies less space on countertops than larger models, while its simple controls make it easy to operate. You can choose between espresso or lungo at the push of the button and a cup holder allows you to use regular cups or mugs, too.

It's not expensive but the Jolie is a great option for anyone after an easy capsule coffee maker that makes quality espresso with minimal fuss. The Jolie also has an easy steam wand which allows you to add milk to make the perfect cappuccino. It's also one of the quietest machines we've tested, so it will not disturb family sleep-ins.

SMEG is known for its stylish kitchen gear and this retro-styled coffee machine is no exception (choose from red, cream or black). Compact enough to fit on your counter, but still functional. One press makes a short or long lungo. The energy saving mode is activated after two minutes and seven days without usage.

If you're a fan of SMEG's 1950s design aesthetic or want the ability to customize your coffee more than the big brands offer, the Jolie is a good option pod and bean coffee machine to consider. It has a Bloom & Brew feature that pre-wets the capsule and makes it more flavorful cup. Other settings let you adjust the amount of water you use as well as adjust the temperature of your coffee and adjust the pressure.
