1. Nespresso Vertuo Plus

The Nespresso Vertuo Plus was one of two new machines that joined the Nespresso line in the year 2017. It is smaller than other models and can fit into smaller spaces. It's available in more colors.

The machine is the most recent incarnation of Nespresso's pod-based coffee pods machine system. Vertuo Plus spins the capsule at up to 7000rpm instead of piercing it to pump hot water into it. The brew is made by mixing ground coffee capsules machines with water. The capsule drips out of the smaller holes of 18 and into the central hole and gives your drink a richer crema. The machine can brew both espresso as well as longer lungo-style drinks.

It reads a barcode on the bottom of each capsule coffee Machine to tailor its blending technique for each. This is the reason you can't use capsules from other brands using the Vertuo Plus Nespresso's exclusive capsules contain the barcode.

There's a single button to press on the top of the machine and it's easy to operate. Just click the silver lever in the front, and it will raise to reveal a place for your preferred pod. Then drop it into place and press the single button to start making.

The machine has a 40-ounce reservoir of water that automatically ejects used capsules from the inside. It has a heating time of about 15 seconds and a shut-off feature that automatically shuts off after nine minutes. This is a neat device that is reliable and simple to use with low maintenance. If you want to avoid creating a lot of waste using this kind of system, be sure to create an effective recycling plan for the pods that are no longer being used.

2. Lavazza Vertuo Pop

This compact machine by Lavazza will add a touch of elegance to your coffee area. Its clever Centrifusion technology scans the barcode of the capsule you choose and then dispenses exactly the right amount water to create your perfect cup. It's available in a range of colors and comes in up five different sizes of hot or iced drinks including double espresso.

The machine is more sophisticated than Nespresso pod machines in that it also comes with the possibility of heating and dispensing milk. It's still more reliable than a regular espresso machine and is a great alternative for those who aren't at ease using a manual espresso maker. The Jolie features a large chrome lever which allows you to open and close the capsule slot, and the 0.9-litre water tank is positioned behind it. The large capsule bin can hold up to ten used capsules.

It's simple to use and is ready to heat up in a matter of minutes. It's also very quiet in operation and requires minimal energy, so it's an excellent choice for electricity bills.

The only drawback to this model is that it only works with Lavazza's own capsules, rather than the range of Nespresso pods. This might not be an issue for everyone but it could be an issue for those who are interested in changing brands. If you opt for this machine, be sure that you get a package of 100 capsules reusable when you purchase. These capsules aren't cheap, but they will save you money over time since they are less expensive than Nespresso pods.
