The best capsule coffee machine Capsule Coffee Machines of 2017

If you're a big fan of Nespresso but would like to step away from their tiny capsules take a look at this machine. It uses larger Vertuo capsules and reads the barcode on each capsule to automatically adjust the settings for the size of your drink you want.

It offers ristretto and espresso options and the option to save drinks you've created. It also has a handy height-adjustable drip tray and energy-saving sleep mode.

1. Nespresso Vertuo Plus

The Nespresso Vertuo Plus is one of two new-style machines to join the Nespresso range in the year 2017. It's smaller than other models and can fit into smaller spaces. It's available in a variety of 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 around at up to 7000rpm. The brew is made by mixing ground coffee with water. The capsule then drips down a central hole and through 18 smaller holes, resulting in a rich crema on your drink. The machine can brew both espresso as well as longer lungo-style drinks.

It reads the barcode at the bottom of every capsule to adjust the method of blending for each. This is the reason you can't use capsules from other brands with the Vertuo Plus - only Nespresso's own pods have the barcode.

It's simple to operate by pressing a single button at the top. Just click the silver lever in the front and it'll raise to reveal a place for your preferred pod. Drop it in place and press the single button to begin brewing.

The machine comes with a 40-ounce reservoir of water that it automatically releases capsules used up from the inside. It also has a heating up time of about 15 seconds and an energy-saving automatic shut-off after nine minutes of inactivity. This machine is easy to use, reliable, and requires minimum maintenance. If you want to reduce the amount of waste from this kind of system, make sure to create a good recycling scheme for the pods you have used.

2. Lavazza Vertuo Pop

This compact machine from Lavazza is a striking addition to your coffee machine and pods area. Its innovative Centrifusion technology scans the barcode on the capsule you choose and then dispenses exactly the right amount water to make your perfect cup. It is available in a variety of colors and can make up to five different sizes, including double espresso.

This machine is slightly more sophisticated than Nespresso machines, since it offers the option to heat and serve milk. It's still more fool-proof than a traditional home espresso machine and a great alternative for those who don't feel comfortable using a manual coffeemaker. The Jolie comes with a large lever that can be opened and closed by the capsule slot. A 0.9-litre tank can be put behind it. There's a huge capsule bin as well, which can hold ten used capsules at a time.

Similar to the Vertuo Plus, it's also easy to use and can be heated in just a few minutes. It's also very quiet in operation and requires very little energy, making it an excellent choice for electric bills.

This model comes with 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 prefer to switch between brands. If you decide to purchase this machine, be sure to buy 100 capsules that are reusable with your purchase. They're not expensive, but you'll save money in the long run because they are less expensive than Nespresso pods.

3. Tassimo My Way

Fully automated machine that is very simple to use. It features a broad platform that can be adjusted to different heights for tall glasses or smaller espresso cups. The buttons are numbered, making it easy to select your preferred settings. It can also be used to store four individual variations, making this a good option for couples and families with differing preferences. The machine is energy efficient and there's an easy-to-read indicator that lets you know when the water tank is full or when the need for descaling is present (which requires a service disc that's placed in a slot with the instructions).

It's designed to work, like all Tassimo systems, with the company's branded barcoded T Discs that contain everything from cold drinks tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and even frothy, cold milk. Intellibrew technology automatically detects the type and adjusts the timing, temperature, and strength to suit. This stops you from making a mistake by adjusting unnatural settings, like tweaking the strength of a cup of coffee made using milk, and helps keep your drink tasting consistently perfect.

The My Way 2 has a great range of flavours to choose from, including more than 50 well-known brands including Costa favorite brands, Kenco, L'OR and Cadbury's. You can make cappuccinos, lattes and even fluffy Americanos.

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. It doesn't have a built-in mechanism to dispose of T Discs that are used. Instead it has partnered with Podback which is a recycling company that allows you to recycle the discs through a local program.

4. Jolie

A diminutive pod coffee machine that's been in the market for a while, Jolie stands up well against more modern models. The slim, sleek body occupies less space on countertops than many larger machines and its simple controls make it simple to use. You can choose between lungo or espresso at the push of the button and a cup holder allows you to use regular cups or mugs, too.

The Jolie isn't expensive, but it's a good option for those seeking a simple capsule espresso maker that produces high-quality espresso with minimal effort. The Jolie has a handy steam wand, which lets you add milk to make the perfect cappuccino. It is also one of the quietest we've tested so it won't disrupt sleep-ins with family members in the early morning.

Small enough to fit on the counter, yet still functional. One button press brews either an extended or short lungo. The energy saving mode is activated after two minutes and seven days of no use.

The Jolie is a great option for those who love the 1950s design aesthetic of SMEG or if you're looking to make your coffee to be better than the top brands have to provide. It has a Bloom & Brew feature that pre-wettes the capsule before it makes it more flavorful cup. Other settings let you adjust the amount of water you use as well as adjust the temperature of your coffee and also adjust the pressure.

5. Infinissima

If you're looking for a quick cup of coffee to kick start your day, or a decadent morning espresso The Infinissima is the perfect choice. It's an automated capsule machine with a sleek design that is simple to use. Its unique design is inspired by the infinity symbol and includes the globular pod holder as well as a triangular water tank that looks like modern art.

It uses a high pressure system to extract the best flavour from each capsule of coffee and produces professional quality crema that resembles cafes. It's got a quick heating time, meaning your drinks will be ready in a matter of minutes. It also has a large, removable 1.2L water tank, which means you can make multiple cups before having to refill.

Another great feature is the Infinissima's capability to brew hot and cold beverages. Its temperature settings are adjustable and can give you a wide range of options, ranging from iced coffee to latte macchiato. It has the cup heating plate, which keeps your drink warm, which prevents it from cooling down too fast. The Infinissima also has an automatic timer that shuts off the machine after a predetermined period of inactivity, thus promoting energy efficiency.

The Infinissima has simple controls and a LCD screen which allows you to choose your beverage. It also has self-rising pod holders, which makes it easier to insert the capsules and then fill the water tank. It also comes with a convenient filter and cleaning kit that allows the reuse of capsules. Infinissima capsules are an excellent choice if you're searching for a good machine in Qatar.
