The Best capsule Coffee Machine Capsule Coffee Machines of 2017
This machine is ideal for Nespresso fans who want to move away from the tiny pods. It is compatible with larger Vertuo capsules, reading the barcode and automatically adjusting settings for your chosen drink size.
It offers ristretto and espresso options and the option of saving drinks you've made. It also comes with an adjustable height dripping tray as well as an energy-saving sleep setting.
1. Nespresso Vertuo Plus
The Nespresso Vertuo Plus was one of two new machines to join the Nespresso line in the year 2017. It's narrower than other models, allowing it to be able to fit into larger space. It's available in more colors.
The machine runs 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 at speeds of up to 7000rpm. The brew is made by mixing ground coffee with water. The capsule drips out of the smaller holes of 18 and through the central hole which gives your drink a thicker crema. The machine can make espresso as well as longer lungo-style drinks.
It reads the barcode at the bottom of each capsule to customize its blending method for each. You aren't able to mix capsules from other brands that use Vertuo plus because only Nespresso pods have a barcode.
There's only a single button to press on the top of the machine, and it's easy to operate. Press the silver lever on the front to raise it up and reveal the space for your chosen pod. Then, drop it in the right spot and press the single button to begin brewing.
The machine comes with a 40-ounce water reservoir and it is able to automatically release capsules used up internally. It can heat up in a time of 15-20 seconds, and an automatic shut-off after nine minutes. It is simple to operate, reliable, and requires minimum maintenance. If you want to reduce the amount of waste with this type of system, make sure to set up an effective recycling plan for the used pods.
2. Lavazza Vertuo Pop
This compact machine by Lavazza can add a touch of elegance to your coffee corner. The innovative Centrifusion technology scans the barcode of your chosen capsule to dispense the exact amount of water you need for the perfect cup. It is available in a variety of colors and comes in up to five different sizes, including gran latte and double espresso.
This machine is more sophisticated than Nespresso pod machines, as it also has the option of heating and dispensing milk. It's still more fool-proof than a home espresso machine and is a great option for those who aren't comfortable using a manual coffeemaker. The Jolie comes with a large lever that opens and closes the capsule slot. A 0.9-litre tank can be placed behind it. The large capsule bin can hold up to ten empty capsules.
It's simple to use and heats up within minutes. It's also quiet and requires very less energy, meaning you can save money on your electricity bill.
The only drawback to this model is that it can only use Lavazza's own capsules, rather than the range of Nespresso pods. This might not be a problem for many individuals, but it could be a problem for those who like to switch between brands. If you do opt for this machine, make sure you purchase a set of 100 reusable capsules with your purchase. These capsules are not expensive, but they can save you money over time since they are cheaper than Nespresso pods.
3. Tassimo My Way
A fully automatic machine that is very simple to use. It features a broad platform that can be adjusted to different heights for tall glasses or small espresso cups. The buttons are numbered, making it easy to pick the settings you want. This machine allows you to store four different versions. It's an excellent choice for families and couples with different preferences. The machine is energy-efficient and there's an indicator that lets you know when the tank is full or when descaling is required (which requires the use of a service disc, which is hidden in a slot with the instruction).
It's designed to function, like other Tassimo systems, with the company's branded barcoded T Discs which include everything from cold drinks, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate, to frothy, cold milk. Intellibrew technology detects the type and adjusts the timing as well as temperature and strength to suit. This prevents you from making changes that aren't sensible like the strength of coffee brewed with milk. It also ensures your drink is consistently delicious.
The My Way 2 has an extensive selection of flavors to choose from, with more than 50 well-known brands including Costa favorite brands, Kenco, L'OR and Cadbury's. You can even make frothy cappuccinos and lattes and also uplifting Americanos and indulgent flat whites.
The My Way 2 has an energy-saving standby mode, and it's easy to clean. The water tank is easily removed and filled with fresh tap water. In contrast to other pod machines it does not have a built-in method to dispose of used T Discs, but it has formed a partnership with Podback to enable you to recycle them in a local scheme.
4. Jolie
Jolie is a small pod and capsule coffee machines coffee machine that has been on the market since just a few years. It holds its own against newer models.

It's also among the quietest that we've tested, which means it won't interfere with sleep-ins for the family in the early morning.
SMEG is renowned for its beautiful kitchen equipment and this retro-styled coffee pod machine is no different (choose between cream, Krups Black Dolce Gusto Infinissima Coffee Pod or red). It's small enough to be able to be able to fit in between other appliances on your counter but doesn't compromise on features. A single push of a button can make either a shorter espresso or a longer lungo. The energy saving mode goes into standby after two minutes of inactivity and seven days of no use.
