The best capsule coffee machine (new content from Blogbright) Capsule Coffee Machines of 2017

If you're a fan of Nespresso but want to step away from their tiny pods coffee machines look no further than this machine. It uses larger Vertuo capsules and scans the barcode on each capsule to automatically adjust the settings for your desired drink size.

It offers ristretto and espresso options and an option to save drinks that you have created. It also features a height-adjustable dripping tray and an energy-saving sleep setting.

1. Nespresso Vertuo Plus

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

The machine utilizes the latest version of Nespresso's pod-based system. Instead of piercing the capsule machine coffee in order to pump hot water through it, the Vertuo Plus uses Centrifusion to spin the capsule at speeds of up to 7000rpm. It mixes ground coffee with water to create the brew. The capsule drips from the smaller holes of 18 and into the central hole which gives your drink a more dense crema. The machine is able to make espresso as well as longer lungo-style drinks.

It scans the barcode on the bottom of each capsule to tailor its blending process for each. It isn't possible to use capsules from other brands with Vertuo plus, as only Nespresso pods have a barcode.

It's simple to operate by pressing a single button on the top. Just press the silver lever on the front and it raises to reveal a space for your preferred pod. Place the pod and bean coffee machine on top and then press the single button for brewing.

The machine comes with a 40-ounce water reservoir and it is able to automatically release capsules used up internally. It has a heating period of 15-20 seconds and an automatic shut-off after nine minutes. The machine is simple to use and reliable, and requires minimum maintenance. But, if you want to avoid creating a lot of waste from this kind of system, make sure to create a good recycling scheme for the pods that are no longer being used.

2. Lavazza Vertuo Pop

This compact machine from Lavazza is a stunning addition to your coffee area. The clever Centrifusion technology scans the barcode on your chosen capsule to dispense the exact amount of water needed for the perfect cup. It comes in a variety of colors and comes in up five different sizes, including gran latte and double espresso.

This machine is a little more sophisticated than Nespresso machines, as it can heat and dispense milk. However, it's far more secure than a conventional home espresso maker and is a great option for those who aren't comfortable with a manual coffee maker. The Jolie features a large chrome lever which opens and shuts the capsule slot. In addition, the 0.9-litre water tank is positioned behind it. There's a large capsule bin too, which will hold ten used capsules at one time.

Like the Vertuo Plus, it's simple to use and warms up in a matter of minutes. It's also quiet in operation and requires only a small amount of energy, which makes it an ideal choice for your energy bills.

This model has only one drawback that it is only compatible with Lavazza capsules, not the Nespresso range. This might not be a problem for many individuals, but it could be a concern for those who prefer to switch between brands. If you decide to buy this machine, make sure to get 100 capsules that can be reused with the purchase. These capsules aren't expensive, but they can save you money in the long run as they are less expensive than Nespresso pods.

3. Tassimo My Way

A fully automated machine that is easy to use. It uses a wide cup platform that can be set at different heights, to fit tall glasses as well as small espresso cups, and it's easy to choose your preferred settings using numbered buttons. This machine lets you store four different versions. It's a great option for families and couples with different 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 descaling is needed (which requires the use of a service disc, which is placed in a slot with the instructions).

Like all Tassimo system machines it's designed to work with the company's branded, barcoded T-Discs that include everything from tea, coffee and hot chocolate to cold drinks and creamy milk. Intellibrew technology automatically detects the type of drink and adjusts the timing as well as temperature and strength to meet. This prevents the risk of accidentally altering unnatural settings, like tweaking the strength of coffee made using milk, and helps keep your drink tasting consistently perfect.

The My Way 2 offers a wide range of flavours including Costa favorites Kenco, L'OR, and Cadbury's. You can also make frothy lattes and cappuccinos and also refreshing Americanos and delicious flat whites.

The My Way 2 has an energy-saving standby feature and is easy to clean. The water tank can be easily removed and filled with fresh water. It does not have a built-in mechanism to dispose of T Discs that are used. Instead, it has partnered with Podback an organization that recycles that allows you to recycle the discs through an online program.

4. Jolie

Jolie is a tiny pod coffee maker that has been on market since a few years. It holds its own against newer models. Its slim design takes up less counter space than larger machines, and its controls are simple to operate. You can choose between espresso or lungo by pressing the button, and a removable cup holder allows you to use standard cups or mugs too.

It's not expensive but the Jolie is a great option for those looking for a basic capsule coffee maker that makes high-quality espresso with little effort. The Jolie also has a handy steam wand, which allows you to add milk to make a cappuccino. It's also one of the quietest machines we've seen which means it will not disturb family sleep-ins.

SMEG is renowned for its chic kitchen appliances, and this retro-looking coffee pod machine isn't different (choose between black, cream or red). Small enough to fit on the counter, yet still functional. One press of a button can make a short espresso or longer lungo. The energy saving mode switches to standby after two minutes of inactivity and seven days of non-use.

The Jolie is a great choice if you like the design style of the 1950s from SMEG or want to customize your coffee more than the big brands can provide. It includes an app that provides more barista recipes and a Bloom & Brew setting that prepares the capsule to be wet and infuses it to create a better cup while other settings let you control the amount of water used and also adjust the coffee's temperature and pressure.

5. Infinissima

Whether you're looking for an instant cup of coffee to start your day or an indulgent morning espresso, the Infinissima has you covered. It's a sleek, automatic capsule machine that's easy to use and provides many beverage options. It's a distinctive design that is inspired by the infinity sign, and comes with a triangular water tank and an globular pod holder.

Although the Infinissima's unique exterior is fun but it doesn't sacrifice quality. It uses a high-pressure system to extract maximum flavour from each coffee capsule and creates a high-end cafe-style crema. It also has a rapid heat-up time so that your drinks are ready within minutes. It also comes with a large removable water tank of 1.2L so you can make several cups without having to refill.

Another excellent feature is Infinissima's ability to brew both hot and cold beverages. The adjustable temperature settings allow you to select from a range of drinks, including iced coffee and macarchiato with latte. It also has a cup warming plate to keep your beverage warm and stop it from cooling too fast. The Infinissima has a timer that will shut off the machine after a specified amount of time. This improves energy efficiency.

The Infinissima is a simple device with easy controls and an LCD screen that lets you select your beverage. It also comes with a self-rising pod holder, which makes it easier to insert the capsules and then fill the water tank. It also comes with a handy filter and cleaning kit that allow the reuse of capsules. If you're looking for a top capsule coffee machine in Qatar Infinissima is an excellent option.
