nespresso pods machine Coffee Machines

Nespresso machines employ a patented pod-system that makes espresso and coffee at home. These smart machines scan the barcodes on each capsule and adjust extraction parameters to suit, making it super simple to get a crema-topped coffee every time.

The compact Original line models such as the CitiZ and Essenza Mini brew a single shot or lungo using 19 bars of pressure. A model with a milk frother is more flexible and can make cappuccinos or lattes.

The Original Line

The first line of nespresso espresso machines machines were the first models from the company, and they were a huge hit because of their ease of use and wide selection of capsules of coffee. The machines are compact and require nothing more than an empty capsule and the push of a button. They can also make a cup of hot espresso-like coffee without much effort in a matter of minutes.

The Originalline machines use an easy pressure-based system to brew their capsules, which are filled with freshly ground beans, pre-portioned and flavorings. This process is similar to traditional espresso making, and results in drinks with a strong, bold flavor. Many of these machines are priced reasonably and come with features such as touchscreen displays and fast heating times. Some machines include a powerful steaming tool that allows you to add café-quality milk foam to your drink.

While the Originalline machines are great for people who prefer traditional espresso-style drinks, they don't provide the same variety of beverages as their VertuoLine counterparts. The VertuoLine machines make use of barcode technology that reads the contents of each capsule and adjust its temperature and extraction rate as well as size in line with the contents. The drinks made are different in their intensity, size and design. Limited-edition or new products are introduced regularly.

VertuoLine offers "master origin" capsules, in addition to the standard sizes of drinks. They let you try exotic brews around the world. Ethiopian capsules are famous for their fruitiness while Indonesian-origin coffees have notes of tobacco and wood leaves. VertuoLine is ideal for those who enjoy various coffee flavors and intensities. The pods themselves are available in five different intensities and flavors and are classified into shorter drink sizes - espresso, gran lungo, alto, and coffee - which determine the strength of the drinks they produce.

The VertuoLine

Contrary to Originalline machines The VertuoLine uses capsules with barcodes to identify the specific blend and automatically brew it. The machine scans the code on each capsule and adjusts its temperature, flow, and infusion time accordingly. The result is a delicious, smooth coffee or espresso every time.

The VertuoLine has a quicker heating time than the original models. And it has an LCD touchscreen and an impressive steaming wand for adding a delicious cafe-style milk texture to your drink. It's more expensive than the other models we've reviewed.

Apart from the quick heat-up time and quick refilling of capsules, it's very easy to use and makes an excellent cup of coffee or espresso each time. It's ideal for those who want to streamline their morning routine and have an Nespresso machine that can produce more than just espressos.

The machine can make precisely small or large-sized coffees with generous and silky crema, due to its patent-pending extraction technology. During the making process, water flows through the flat top of capsule and blends the coffee beans through centrifusion. This creates the gorgeous layer of foam that you see on your coffee. After nine minutes the machine will flush the capsules before shutting down.

The VertuoNext

The Vertuo Next has a small footprint and a sleek, modern look. With 5.5 inches in width it can be placed on most countertops and is available in a variety of colors. Certain models come with an Aeroccino3 milk frother, which makes it easier to make cappuccinos and lattes.

It also works with the nespresso machines white mobile app which lets you monitor the machine and set up alerts when it needs to be descaled or refilled. The app gives access to other tools, such as store locators and pod recycling.

When you insert the capsule into the Vertuo Smart device identifies the barcode of the capsule and adjusts the brewing setting. Then, it will disperse the proper amount of water and crema for the particular blend. This is an impressive feature that makes the machine simple to use.

The machine will then use centrifusion forces to spin the capsule at 7000 revolutions per minute, mixing the ground coffee and hot water. This produces a rich, smooth cup of coffee that has thick layers of crema on top.

When the brew has been completed, the used capsule is ejected from the built-in waste container that can hold up to 10 pods. The capsules can be returned for free to Nespresso and are sealed hermetically. This keeps the price of this model affordable. The Vertuo Next is a great choice to anyone who is looking for an easy-to-use coffee maker that takes the thinking out of making coffee and provides top-quality coffee every time.

This saves time and brain power, both of which are scarce for many people.

The Essenza Mini, like other Nespresso machines produces excellent espresso and lungo with an excellent crema layer over it. The crema produced is lighter than the VertuoLine however it is still impressive considering the machine's size. It's also user-friendly, with only two buttons. One for an espresso, and the other for lungo. The button will flash throughout the heating process, and remain lit when it's time to make a cup. The machine will shut off automatically after you're finished with your beverage, meaning there's no need for you to constantly check the progress of the coffee pour.

This is the reason why a lot of people choose to use a larger coffee machine that grinds fresh beans. If you decide to purchase this kind of machine it's important to understand that you'll need to descale your coffee maker about twice a year, based on the hardness of the water you use.
