The Best Capsule Coffee Machines of 2017 This machine is perfect for Nespresso lovers who want to move away from the tiny capsules. It uses larger Vertuo capsules and reads the barcodes of each capsule to automatically adjust the settings to the desired size of drink. It can save customised drinks to a button for speedy making, and also offers espresso, ristretto and americano options. It also has a height-adjustable drip tray and energy-saving sleep mode. 1. Nespresso Vertuo Plus The Nespresso Vertuo Plus was one of two new machines to join the Nespresso line in 2017. It's smaller than the other models, which allows it to be able to fit into larger spaces. It's also available with a broader selection of colors, too. The machine runs 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 at speeds up to 7000rpm. The brew is created by mixing ground coffee and water. The capsule dribbles out of the smaller holes of 18 and through the central hole, giving your drink a richer crema. The machine can brew both espresso as well as longer lungo-style drinks. It reads the barcode at the bottom of every capsule to customize its blending process for each. You aren't able to mix capsules from other brands with Vertuo plus, as only Nespresso capsules are barcode-encoded. It's simple to operate, by pressing a single button at the top. Press the silver lever at the front to raise it and reveal the space to place your pod. Place the pod on top and press the single button for brewing. The machine comes with a 40-ounce reservoir of water and it automatically ejects capsules used up internally. It has a heating period of 15-20 seconds and a shut-off feature that automatically shuts off after nine minutes. It is simple to use and reliable, and requires minimal maintenance. However, if you wish to avoid creating a lot of waste using this kind of system, be sure to establish a good recycling scheme for the pods that are no longer being used. 2. Lavazza Vertuo Pop This compact machine from Lavazza is an eye-catching addition to your coffee area. Its clever Centrifusion technology scans the barcode on your chosen capsule and dispenses exactly the right amount of water to create your perfect cup. It comes in a variety colors and can make up five different sizes, including gran latte and double espresso. This machine is slightly more sophisticated than Nespresso machines, since it can heat and serve milk. It's still more reliable than a home espresso machine and is a great alternative for those who don't feel at ease using a manual espresso maker. The Jolie features a large chrome lever that opens and shuts the capsule slot, and a 0.9-litre water tank sits behind it. There's a large capsule bin too, which will hold ten of your used capsules at one time. It's easy to use and heats up within minutes. It's also very quiet in operation and requires only a small amount of energy, which makes it a good choice for your energy costs. The only downside to this model is that it only works with Lavazza's own capsules, instead of the wide range of Nespresso capsules. This isn't an issue for everyone however it could be a problem for those who prefer changing brands. If you decide to buy this machine, be sure to buy 100 capsules that can be reused with the purchase. They aren't inexpensive, but they will save money over the long term as they tend to be cheaper than Nespresso capsules. 3. Tassimo My Way A fully automatic machine that's very easy to use. It has a large cup platform that can be positioned at different heights to accommodate tall glasses and small espresso cups, and it's easy to choose the settings you prefer using the numbered buttons. You can also save four different variations of your own, making this a good option for families and couples with differing preferences. The machine is energy-efficient and has a handy indicator to let you know when the water tank is full or when the need for descaling is present (which requires an service disc that's placed in a slot with the instruction). Like all Tassimo system machines it's designed to work with the company's branded barcoded T-Discs, which include everything from tea, coffee and hot chocolate to cold drinks and frothy milk. Intellibrew technology detects the type and adjusts the timing and temperature as well as the strength to suit. This helps you avoid accidentally changing settings that aren't logical like the strength of coffee when you add milk. It also ensures that your drink is consistently delicious. The My Way 2 has a wide selection of flavours to choose from, featuring more than 50 brands that are famous, including Costa favourites, Kenco, L'OR and Cadbury's. You can make cappuccinos, lattes and even frosty Americanos. The My Way 2 has an energy-saving standby mode and it's easy to clean. The water tank is easily removed and refilled with fresh water. Contrary to other pod machines, it doesn't come with an integrated mechanism to dispose of used T discs, however it has formed a partnership with Podback to enable you to recycle them in a local scheme. 4. Jolie Jolie is a small pod coffee machine on the market since a few years. It holds its own against the latest models. Its slim design takes up less counter space than larger machines and its controls are easy to operate. By pressing one button, you can choose between espresso and lungo. A removable cup holder allows you to use standard cups or mugs. It's not expensive however the Jolie is a great option for anyone after an affordable capsule coffee maker that produces excellent espresso with minimum effort. A handy steam wand is included too that allows you to add milk for a cappuccino or latte. It's also one of the quietest we've tested which means it won't disrupt sleep-ins with family members in the early morning. SMEG is known for its stylish kitchen equipment and this retro-styled coffee pod machine is no different (choose between cream, black or red). It's compact enough to be able to fit in between other appliances on your counter top but doesn't compromise on features. One press makes 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 choice for those who love the retro style of SMEG or you want to personalize your coffee better than what the top brands have to offer. It comes with a Bloom & Brew feature that pre-wettes the capsule before it makes it more flavorful cup. Other options let you adjust the amount of water you use, adjust the coffee temperature and adjust the pressure. 5. Infinissima The Infinissima is the ideal machine for those who want quick morning espresso or a cup of coffee that can fuel their day. It's a sleek automatic capsule machine that's easy to use and provides an array of beverages to choose from. It has a unique design inspired by the infinity sign, and includes the triangular water tank, as well as a globular pod holder. The Infinissima has a quirky exterior however, it doesn't sacrifice quality. It utilizes an advanced system of high-pressure to extract maximum flavour from each capsule of coffee and produces a professional-quality cafe-style crema. It features a fast heating process, so your coffee will be ready in minutes. It also has a huge, removable 1.2L water tank so you can make multiple cups before having to refill. Another great feature is the Infinissima's capability to brew hot and cold drinks. Its temperature settings are adjustable and can offer a wide variety of choices, from iced coffee to macchiato latte. It has an in-cup heating plate that 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, promoting energy efficiency. The Infinissima has simple controls and a LCD screen which allows you to choose your beverage. It also has a self-rising capsule holder that makes it easy to insert capsules and refill the water tank. In addition it comes with a convenient cleaning kit and a handy filter that is reusable, allowing you to reuse your used capsules. Infinissima capsule coffee machines are a great choice when you're looking for a top-quality machine in Qatar.
