The best capsule coffee machine (what is it worth) Capsule Coffee Machines of 2017

If you're a lover of Nespresso but would like to move away from their tiny capsules look no further than this machine. It is compatible with larger Vertuo capsules, reading the barcode to automatically adjust settings for your chosen drink size.

It can save customized drinks to a single button for fast brewing, and offers ristretto, espresso and americano options. It also has a handy adjustable drip tray with a height adjustment and energy-saving sleep mode.

1. Nespresso Vertuo Plus

The Nespresso Vertuo Plus is one of two new models to join the Nespresso range in 2017. It's narrower than other models, allowing it to fit in more spaces. And it's available in a variety of colors, too.

The machine utilizes the latest version of Nespresso's pod-based system. Vertuo Plus spins the capsule at up to 7000rpm, instead of piercing it to pump hot water into it. This brew is made by mixing ground coffee with water. The capsule then drips down a central hole and out of 18 smaller holes, resulting in an extremely thick crema to your drink. The machine can brew both espresso drinks and lungo-style drinks that are longer in length.

It scans a barcode that is located on the bottom of each capsule to adjust its blending process to suit each. You aren't able to mix capsules from other brands with Vertuo plus because only Nespresso capsules come with a barcode.

There's just one button to press on the top of the machine, and it's a breeze to use. Click the silver lever on the front to raise it and reveal the space for your chosen pod. Drop the pod making machines into place, then press the single button for making.

The machine comes with a 40 ounce reservoir of water. It also automatically removes capsules that are used from the inside. It can heat up in a time of 15 to 20 seconds, and an automatic shut-off after nine minutes. It's a stylish device that is reliable and simple to use with low maintenance. If you're looking to eliminate an abundance of waste, be sure you have a reliable recycling system for your used pods.

2. Lavazza Vertuo Pop

This compact machine from Lavazza is a striking addition to your coffee machine and pods corner. Its clever Centrifusion technology scans the barcode of the capsule you choose and then dispenses exactly the right amount of water to make the perfect cup. It comes in a variety of colors and makes up to five different sizes of hot or iced drink, including gran lungo and double espresso.

This machine is slightly more sophisticated than Nespresso machines, as it offers the option to heat and dispensing milk. It's still more fool-proof than a home espresso machine and is a great alternative for those who don't feel comfortable using a manual coffeemaker. The Jolie comes with a large chrome lever that opens and closes the capsule slot. A 0.9-litre tank can be inserted behind it. The large capsule bin can hold up to ten capsules.

Like the Vertuo Plus, it's easy to use and can be heated in a matter of minutes. It's also extremely quiet and consumes minimal energy, so it's a good choice for your electric costs.

This model has only one drawback It is that it only works with Lavazza capsules, not the Nespresso range. This may not be an issue for most people however it could be a problem for those who are interested in changing brands. If you decide to buy this machine, make sure to purchase 100 capsules that are reusable with the purchase. They're not cheap, but you will save money in the end because they are cheaper than Nespresso capsules.

3. Tassimo My Way

Fully automatic machine that has a very simple operation. It has a large cup platform that can be placed at different heights to suit tall glasses and small espresso cups. It's easy to pick your preferred settings using the numbered buttons. You can also save four different variations of your own, making this a good choice for families and couples with differing tastes. The machine is energy-efficient and comes with an easy-to-read indicator that lets you know when the water tank is full or when descaling is required (which requires the use of a service disc, which is hidden in a slot with the instructions).

It's designed to work as all Tassimo systems do using the company's brand barcoded T Discs that contain everything from cold drinks tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and cold drinks, to frothy, cold milk. Intellibrew technology detects the type and adjusts the brewing time as well as temperature and strength to match. This helps you avoid making changes that are not sensible like the strength of coffee brewed with milk. It also ensures your beverage tastes consistently good.

The My Way 2 offers many different flavors including Costa favorite Kenco, L'OR, and Cadbury's. You can even make frothy lattes and cappuccinos and also stimulating Americanos and indulgent flat whites.

It is easy to clean and features an automatic standby mode that conserves energy. Its water tank is easily removed and can be filled with fresh tap water. It doesn't have an integrated mechanism for disposing of old T Discs. Instead it has partnered up with Podback an organization that recycles that allows you to recycle the discs using an on-site program.

4. Jolie
