It can save customized drinks to a button for speedy making, and also offers ristretto, espresso and americano options. It also comes with a adjustable drip tray that can be adjusted in height and a energy-saving sleep mode.

1. Nespresso Vertuo Plus

The Nespresso Vertuo Plus is one of two new machines to join the Nespresso range in 2017. It's a bit smaller than other models, which allows it to fit in more space. It's available in more colors.

The machine utilizes the latest version of Nespresso's pod-based system. Instead of piercing the capsule in order to pump hot water through it the Vertuo Plus uses Centrifusion to spin the capsule around at speeds of up to 7000rpm. It mixes ground coffee with water to create an alcoholic drink. The capsule drips from the smaller holes of 18 and into the central hole which gives your drink a richer crema. The machine can make espresso-style and lungo-style drinks.

It scans the barcode on the bottom of every capsule to customize its blending process for each. This is why you can't use capsules from other brands with the Vertuo Plus Nespresso's capsules Dolché K-Cups - Maschine für leckere American Coffee Pods only Nespresso's own come with the barcode.

There's just one button to press on the top of the machine and it's a breeze to operate. Click the silver lever on the front to raise it up and reveal the space to place your pod. Then, drop it in the right spot and press the single button to begin making.

The machine comes with a 40-ounce reservoir of water and it automatically releases capsules used up internally. It has a heating time of 15 to 20 seconds and an automatic shut-off after nine minutes. This machine is easy to use, reliable, and requires minimum maintenance. If you're looking to reduce an abundance of waste, be sure that you have a proper recycling system for the used pods.

2. Lavazza Vertuo Pop

This compact machine from Lavazza is an eye-catching addition to your coffee bar. Its innovative Centrifusion technology scans the barcode on your chosen capsule and dispenses precisely the right amount of water to make your perfect cup. It comes in a variety colors and can make up to five different sizes including gran latte and double espresso.

The machine is more sophisticated than Nespresso pod machines in that it also has the option of heating and dispensing milk. It's still more reliable than a home espresso machine and a great option for those who don't feel at ease using a manual espresso maker. The Jolie features a large chrome lever that allows you to open and close the capsule slot. In addition, a 0.9-litre water tank slots in behind it. The large capsule bin can hold up to ten used capsules.

Similar to the Vertuo Plus, it's easy to use and warms up in just a few minutes. It's also very quiet and consumes minimal energy, so it's a good choice for your electricity costs.

This model comes with one disadvantage: it only works with Lavazza capsules and not the Nespresso range. This isn't an issue for most people but it could be an issue for those who like switching brands. If you decide to purchase this machine, make sure to purchase 100 reusable capsules along with your purchase. They aren't inexpensive, but they will save money in the long run since they are cheaper than Nespresso pods.
