Best Nespresso Machine Reviews Brigitt Earley, a Good Housekeeping Institute specialist, has analyzed and tested a variety of kitchen appliances. She also writes about household appliances and gadgets. The top Nespresso machines are elegant and durable, fast to heat up, simple to use and clean, and provide a variety of drink options. They should be compatible only with the original Nespresso capsules and come with a special container for used capsules. 1. The Vertuo Creatista The Vertuo Creatista is a brand-new model from Nespresso's lineup and fills a significant niche. It's the first and so far only Vertuo machine to have an integrated milk maker and it's a fantastic addition to the line-up. The machine is a premium brushed stainless steel design and is situated in the middle of the Vertuo lineup. It also comes with 2L of water tank and a drip tray that is removable and allows you to use your own travel mug or carafe. It utilizes Nespresso's Centrifusion technology to brew capsules and is able to make a variety of drinks. This includes espresso, lungo and alto as well as cappuccino latte and macchiato. It is compatible with the original Nespresso capsules as well as their Vertuo Line counterparts. The machine is able to detect the barcode on the lip of the pod and know the best settings to use for the optimum results. This makes it one of the most intelligent machines available. The Creatista, like other Nespresso machines, has a rapid heating time thanks to its thermoblock system. The only downside is that it takes longer to prepare an espresso shot than other models in the line-up. The main draw for most people, however, will be the built-in milk frother. The wand is similar to the steam wands that manual steamers see on other espresso machines, but it is fully automatic and comes with control settings for temperature and texture. This is a fantastic feature for anyone who loves adding milk to their coffee, and it will make the Creatista an attractive choice for a lot of buyers. Previously, Nespresso milk-based coffee was only available in the Aeroccino and Lattissima models. 2. The CitiZ This compact, sleek machine by Nespresso is a great addition to any kitchen. It's easy to clean and requires less energy than other pod machines we've tested however it still makes a great cup. In our latest tests it was found that the CitiZ performed very well in single-serve and larger brewing mode. It also boasts several neat features, like the ability to connect via WiFi or Bluetooth (for maintenance alerts and capsule tracking) and a reservoir for water that can hold up to 32 ounces of water that has been filtered, and an elegant, modern design. The machine's quick heat-up system brings water to the ideal temperature in just 25 seconds. Additionally, the energy-saving feature automatically shuts off the machine after nine minutes of inactivity. You'll need a separate attachment to add milk to your coffee if you want to do this. One of our top features of the CitiZ is the labeled, easy-to-use buttons. You can pick from a wide range of single-serve beverages, such as espresso shots in three sizes, as well as milk-based drinks such as cappuccinos and lattes. The CitiZ is a little more expensive than the Essenza Mini and other compact OriginalLine models however, it comes with some extra features that may make it worth the cost for some consumers. For instance it's the first Nespresso model to use 40% recycled plastic. It also offers the option to connect with an app for smartphones to receive reminders for maintenance and brewing instructions. CitiZ's drip tray, capsule container and water reservoir are all easily washable to clean. It also comes with an integrated descaling mode. But the frequency at which you should run it will be contingent upon your home's water hardness. We recommend using filtered or softened water, which will minimize the buildup of minerals. 3. The Essenza Mini The Mini is the smallest Nespresso machine on the market, a sleek tower of clean lines that fits in the tiniest kitchens. It's a great choice for those who are single or Nespresso beginners who don't want to spend much money and who aren't interested in paying extra for features that don't enhance their cup of coffee in any way (like Bluetooth technology or a latte art wand). But just because it's small doesn't mean that the Mini can't perform its task well. It's able to brew espressos, ristrettos and lungos without difficulty. It's also the simplest and cheapest Nespresso machine to clean, maintain and operate. The Nespresso Essenza Plus is a slightly larger version of the Mini. It's got a similar minimalist design and features the same brewing process, but it's more of an all-in-one device that comes with an adjustable water tank that can be used for different brewing sizes, as well as a Nespresso capsule container and Jug. It's also more expensive, but it could be worth the extra cost for those who will be making a lot of Americanos or if you're looking to brew larger quantities of ristretto or espresso. The most notable new addition to the Essenza line is the Lattissima series of machines that offer one-touch convenience and a range of beverage options. The Lattissima Pro, the Gran Lattissima, and the Lattissima One all have front-attached milk reservoirs, as well as a frothing wand to make lattes and cappuccinos. These are also more expensive than the Essenza Minis, but is worth it if the goal is to to make full-sized milky drinks anytime you want them, without having to lift the pod. 4. The Vertuo Plus This VertuoLine machine is a great choice if you're looking to brew large cups of coffee or espresso-style shots. It's compatible with the original pods from Nespresso (though you can also use cheaper third-party pods) and features two programmable buttons that let you select between the alto standard, regular, and the gran lungo size. Additionally, it comes with an extremely quiet centrifusion process that pulls water through 20 punctures within the top of the capsule's domed lid, which Nespresso claims helps create an extraordinary amount of crema in every beverage. This model is a great choice for those who are looking for a reliable, foolproof espresso and coffee at the touch of the button. It's not equipped with too many bells and whistles. It performed well in our Single-Serve Coffee Makers lab tests particularly when it comes to first-cup speed and repeat speed. It's one of the more affordable choices among Nespresso machines and has a fairly compact footprint. It has a smaller tank and smaller capacity for used capsules than other models. If you want to make milk-based drinks such as cappuccinos and lattes, it's worth spending an extra amount of money into a model that has a built-in frother. The Lattissima, Creatista and Nespresso inissia all have been designed to make milk-based drinks with little effort. A key thing to remember is that all Nespresso machines must be descaled once a year. coffeee claims it's easy to do so and has alerts on the machine when it's time to descale. You can also purchase descaling kits from the company to take a more hands-off approach. 5. The Creatista Pro If you're a Nespresso fan who loves milk-based coffees such as the Creatista Pro may be a suitable choice for you. Like its sibling the Creatista Plus, it offers a variety of beverage options and is easy to use. The milk frother can be manually adjusted to adjust the temperature and texture of milk. It also has an automatic and self-cleaning. The result is smooth, frothy milk that is perfect for lattes as well as cappuccinos. This Original Line machine uses Nespresso Vertuo pods which can make espresso in one shot in three sizes, as well as milk-based drinks like cappuccinos, macchiatos made of latte and flat whites. It's easy to use and has an enormous LED display and buttons that are labeled for each type of drink. It also comes with a barista-style steam wand to make milk and an ice jug that are less messy to clean than the standard integrated frothers that are found on every Nespresso machines. The Creatista Pro is a bit more expensive than the other models listed here, but it's an excellent machine that's easy to use and looks beautiful on your countertop. It also comes with a free tamper and reusable capsules, which save money over the long term. If you're looking for a less expensive model, you can look into the Nespresso CitiZ&Milk. It doesn't have as many bells and whistles as the Creatista however it does provide an array of beverages, including three different sizes of espresso, along with lattes and cappuccinos. It also has a more intuitive interface, featuring a single button to turn the machine on and cleaning. It's also compact and small, and it has a water tank that can be moved around which allows you to easily adjust it to your kitchen's layout.
