The Best Capsule Coffee Machines of 2017
This machine is perfect 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 has espresso and ristretto options, as well as the option of saving drinks you've created. It also comes with a adjustable drip tray with a height adjustment and sleep mode that saves energy.
1. Nespresso Vertuo Plus
The Nespresso Vertuo Plus is one of two new models to join the Nespresso range in the year 2017. It is narrower than the other models and fits into smaller spaces. It's available in a variety of colors.
The machine utilizes 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 up to 7000rpm. The brew is created by mixing ground coffee and water. The capsule then drips out of an opening in the middle and out of 18 smaller holes, which gives a rich crema on your drink. The machine is able to make coffee and lungo-style drinks.
It scans a barcode at the bottom of each capsule to tailor its blending technique for each. You can't use capsules of other brands with Vertuo plus because only Nespresso pods have a barcode.
There's only a single button to press across the top of the machine, and it's a breeze to operate. Press the silver lever at the front to raise it up and reveal the space to place your pod. Drop the pod into place and then press the single button to start making.
The machine comes with a 40-ounce reservoir of water and it automatically releases capsules that are used internally. It also has a warm up time of about 15 seconds, and an energy-saving auto shut off after nine minutes of inactivity. This machine is easy to operate, reliable, and requires minimum maintenance. However, if you wish to avoid creating a lot of waste with this type of system, be sure to establish an effective recycling plan for the used pods.
2. Lavazza Vertuo Pop
This compact machine from Lavazza is a striking addition to your coffee area. The clever Centrifusion Technology scans the barcode of your selected capsule to dispense the exact amount of water you need for your perfect cup. It's available in a range of colors and comes in up to five different sizes hot or iced drink, including gran lungo and double espresso.
This machine is a little more sophisticated than Nespresso pod machines, as it also offers the possibility of heating and dispensing milk. It's still more secure than a traditional home espresso machine and a great alternative for those who don't feel at ease using a manual espresso maker. The Jolie is equipped with a large lever which 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 used capsules.
It is easy to use, and heats up within minutes. It's also extremely quiet in operation and uses very little energy, making it an excellent choice for electricity costs.
The only downside to this model is that it only works with Lavazza's own capsules rather than the range of Nespresso capsules. This might not be a problem for a lot of people but it could be a problem for those who prefer to switch between brands. If you decide to purchase this machine, be sure to buy 100 reusable capsules along with the purchase. They're not cheap, but you will save money in the end as they tend to be cheaper than Nespresso capsules.
3. Tassimo My Way
A fully automated machine that is very simple to use. It uses a wide cup platform that can be set at different heights to accommodate tall glasses and little espresso cups, and it's easy to choose your preferred settings using the numbered buttons. This machine allows you to keep four different options. It's a great choice for families and couples with different tastes. The machine is energy efficient and features a handy indicator that informs you when it's time for descaling (which requires an instruction disc that is tucked into a slot).
It's designed to work like other Tassimo systems using the company's brand barcoded T Discs that contain everything from cold drinks tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and cold drinks, to chilled, frothy milk. Intellibrew technology automatically detects the type and adjusts the brewing time, temperature, and strength to suit. This helps you avoid accidentally changing settings that aren't sensible, such as the strength of coffee brewed with milk. It also ensures that your beverage tastes consistently good.
The My Way 2 has a wide selection of flavours to choose from, including more than 50 well-known brands including Costa favorites, Kenco, L'OR and Cadbury's. You can even make frothy lattes and cappuccinos and stimulating Americanos and indulgent flat whites.
It is easy to clean and features an automatic standby mode that conserves energy. The water tank can be easily removed and filled with fresh tap water. It doesn't come with a built-in mechanism to dispose of used T Discs. Instead, it has partnered with Podback, a recycling company that allows you to recycle the discs using an on-site program.
4. Jolie
A diminutive pod coffee machine that's been in the market for a while, Jolie stands up well against newer models. The slim, sleek body takes up less space on a countertop than many larger models, while its simple controls make it easy to operate. You can choose between lungo or espresso at the push of a button, and a removable cup holder lets you use regular cups or mugs, too.
It's not inexpensive but the Jolie is a great option for anyone looking for an affordable capsule coffee maker that can produce excellent espresso with minimum effort. The Jolie also comes with an easy steam wand which allows you to add milk to create a cappuccino. It's also among the quietest machines we've tried, so it won't disturb early morning family sleep-ins.
SMEG is renowned for its beautiful kitchen equipment and this retro-styled coffee pod machine is no different (choose between cream, black or red). Small enough to fit on the counter, but still functional. One press of a button can make an espresso in a short amount or a longer lungo, and its energy saving mode goes into standby after two minutes of inactivity or seven days of inactivity.
The Jolie is a great option for those who love the design style of the 1950s from SMEG or if you're looking to make your coffee better than what the big brands can offer. It has a Bloom & Brew feature that pre-wets the capsule and adds flavor to it to make a better cup. Other pod coffee machines settings let you control the amount water used and also adjust the temperature of the coffee and also adjust the pressure.
5. Infinissima

Its unique design is inspired by the infinity symbol and includes a globular pod holder and triangular water tank, which makes it look like modern art.
