1. Nespresso Vertuo Plus

The Nespresso Vertuo Plus was one of two new machines to join the Nespresso line in 2017. It is smaller than other models and is able to fit into smaller spaces. It's also available in a wider choice of colors, too.

The machine uses the latest version of Nespresso’s pod-based system. Instead of piercing the capsule to pump hot water through it the Vertuo Plus uses Centrifusion to spin the capsule around at speeds up to 7000rpm. The brew is made by mixing ground coffee with water. The capsule drips from the smaller holes of 18 and through the central hole which gives your drink a richer crema. The machine can make espresso drinks and lungo-style drinks that are longer in length.

It reads the barcode located at the bottom of each capsule to tailor its blending process for each. This is why you can't use capsules from other brands that have the Vertuo Plus - only Nespresso's own pods have the barcode.

There's just one button to press across the top of the machine, and it's a breeze to use. Just click the silver lever in the front and it raises to reveal a space for your chosen pod. Drop the pod into place and press the single button for the brewing.

This machine is more sophisticated than Nespresso pod machines in that it also has the option of heating and dispense milk. However, it's much more foolproof than a conventional home espresso maker and is an excellent choice for those who aren't confident using a manual coffee maker. The Jolie comes with a large chrome lever that opens and closes the capsule slot. A 0.9-litre tank can be put behind it. The large capsule bin can hold up to ten capsules.

Similar to the Vertuo Plus, it's easy to use and heats up in a matter of minutes. It is also very quiet and requires very less energy, meaning you'll save money on your electricity bill.

This model has only one disadvantage: it only works with Lavazza capsules, not the Nespresso range. This may not be a problem for a lot of people but it could be a concern for those who want to switch between brands.

These capsules aren't inexpensive, but they'll save you money over time since they are cheaper than Nespresso pods.
