Nespresso Coffee Machines

Contrary to drip coffee makers Nespresso models are small and compact. They're black in color and range in terms of price and complexity. Some include a milk froth for latte art, and can be linked to the app used by the company to manage recipes and receive alerts about descaling.

The Essenza Mini is a simple machine that is reasonably priced but lacks the features required to make complex drinks. Other machines can make larger sizes of drinks like grand lungos.

What is an Nespresso Machine?

Since 1986, Nespresso sells single-serve machines which make use of capsules to brew coffee and espresso. The brand has a huge number of loyal fans thanks to the ease, speed and consistency with which their machines make an espresso-like hot drink. They can be an excellent alternative to making at-home espresso with moka pots or drip coffee maker both of which take time and careful cleaning after each use.

A Nespresso machine uses pressure to extract the flavor of the pod, then it heats water and froths milk to create coffee drinks like lattes and cappuccinos. Nespresso provides a range of coffee and blends that can be customized to fit your mood and taste, including decaffeinated and flavored options. The machines are stylish and compact, making them easy to use, making them a great option for those who want to take a quick sip of tea or coffee in the afternoon.

Original nespresso commercial machine machines, which make espresso-like shots using the company's Original capsules, were the only machines on the market until 2014 which was when the Vertuo line was introduced. The Essenza Mini is the smallest model in the line. It's compact and has a small water tank and room for used capsules. Its simple operation, with only two buttons - one for espresso and the other for a lungo -- makes it easy to master.

Unlike Keurig machines that require the user to manually add water prior to every use, all Nespresso models automatically dispose of any capsule that is not used after making. Based on the size of the reservoir and the capsule storage the capsules can hold between four and 12 pods that have been used, which are disposed of in a built-in receptacle each time you open the machine.

Many of the most well-known models can be used with the mobile app developed by the company, which lets you to customize recipes and order capsules from home. We tested this feature on the sleek stainless steel Vertuo Creatista, which also offers the option to make hot chocolate and iced drinks using a dedicated frothing chamber. The only downside of the machine we test is that it does not support all milk types. You'll need purchase a separate frothing machine if you wish to make drinks with whole almond, 2% or 2% milk.

The Original Line

The Pro and Gran Lattissima both have a larger water tank than the Lattissima One, allowing them to hold more liquid before needing to refill. Both models come with faster heating times (15 seconds for an Espresso and 25 seconds for a Lungo) and hot water functions that can be used to make tea or iced espresso.

The only real drawback of the Lattissima line is the difficulty in adjusting the consistency of the foam you make. It only works with almond or skim milk. Sorry Vegans and those who are allergic to dairy. The wand that froths is difficult to clean. This is a frequent complaint from nespresso makers users. The Lattissima Pro or Gran Lattissima features a self-cleaning function that cleans out the milky insides of the frothing wand after every use.
