The Best Capsule Coffee Machines of 2017

1. Nespresso Vertuo Plus
The Nespresso Vertuo Plus was one of two new machines to join the Nespresso line in 2017. It's narrower than other models, allowing it to fit in more spaces. It's available in a variety of colors.
The machine is the most recent incarnation of Nespresso's pod-based coffee system. Instead of piercing the capsule to pump hot water through it the Vertuo Plus uses Centrifusion to spin the capsule at speeds up to 7000rpm. The capsule mixes ground coffee and water to make a brew. The capsule then drips out of one central hole and out of 18 smaller holes, creating an extremely thick crema to your drink. The machine can make espresso as well as longer lungo-style drinks.
It scans a barcode that is located on the bottom of each capsule to tailor its blending technique for each. This is why you can't use capsules from other brands with the Vertuo Plus - only Nespresso's own pods have the barcode.
It's simple to operate, with only one button on the top. Press the silver lever on the front to raise it and reveal the space for your selected pod. Drop the pod into place, then press the single button for making.
The machine comes with a 40 ounce reservoir of water that it automatically releases capsules used up from the inside. It can heat up in a time of about 15 seconds, and an automatic shut-off after nine minutes. The machine is simple to use and reliable, and requires minimum maintenance. But, if you want to minimize the production of waste from this kind of system, make sure to create a good recycling scheme for the pods coffee machine that are no longer being used.

This compact machine from Lavazza is an eye-catching addition to your coffee bar. The innovative Centrifusion Technology scans the barcode of your chosen capsule to dispense the exact amount of water needed for the perfect cup. It's available in a variety of colors. It can make up to five different sizes of hot or iced drink, including double and gran lungo. espresso.
This machine is slightly more sophisticated than Nespresso machines, as it can heat and dispense milk. It's still more fool-proof than a home espresso machine and is a great choice for those who don't feel confident using a manual coffeemaker. The Jolie comes with a huge chrome lever that allows you to open and close the capsule slot, and a 0.9-litre water tank is positioned behind it. The large capsule bin can hold up to ten used capsules.
Similar to the Vertuo Plus, it's easy to use and heats up in a matter of minutes. It's also very quiet and consumes minimal energy, so it's an ideal choice for your electric bills.
This model has only one disadvantage: it only works with Lavazza capsules and not the Nespresso range. This may not be an issue for most people however it could be a problem for those who prefer changing brands. If you decide to purchase this machine, be sure to get 100 reusable capsules along with the purchase. They're not inexpensive, but they will save money over the long term because they are cheaper than Nespresso pods.
3. Tassimo My Way
Fully automated machine with a very simple operation. It has a wide platform that can be adjusted to various heights for tall glasses or smaller espresso cups. The numbered buttons make it easy to select the settings you want. You can also save four different variations of your own, making this a good option for families and couples with different preferences.

This stops you from accidentally changing settings that aren't sensible, such as the strength of coffee machines for pods when you add milk. It also ensures that your beverage tastes consistently good.
