The Best Capsule Coffee Machines of 2017 If you're a fan of Nespresso but would like to move away from their tiny pods, look no further than this machine. It is compatible with larger Vertuo capsules, reading the barcode and automatically adjusting settings to suit your desired drink size. It comes with espresso and ristretto options as well as an option to save drinks that you have created. It also has a handy height-adjustable drip tray and sleep mode that is energy-efficient. 1. Nespresso Vertuo Plus The Nespresso Vertuo Plus was one of two new machines that joined the Nespresso line in 2017. It's a bit smaller than other models, allowing it to be able to fit into larger space. And it comes in a variety of colours too. The machine uses 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 speeds of up to 7000rpm. It mixes ground coffee with water to make a brew. The capsule drips out of the 18 smaller holes and through the central hole which gives your drink a more dense crema. The machine can brew both espresso drinks and lungo-style drinks that are longer in length. It reads the barcode at the bottom of every capsule to tailor its blending method for each. This is why you can't use capsules from other brands using the Vertuo Plus – only Nespresso's own pods contain the barcode. There's a single button to press across the top of the machine and it's easy to use. Press the silver lever on the front to raise it up and reveal the space to place your pod. Place the pod in place and then press the single button to start making. The machine comes with a 40-ounce reservoir of water and it is able to automatically release the used capsules internally. It has a heating time of 15-20 seconds and a shut-off feature that automatically shuts off after nine minutes. It's a stylish, reliable and easy-to-use machine with minimal maintenance. If you're looking to eliminate the waste that is generated, make 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 bar. Its innovative Centrifusion technology scans the barcode of the capsule you choose and then dispenses precisely the right amount of water to create your perfect cup. It comes in a variety of colors and can make up five different sizes, including gran latte and double espresso. This machine is a little more sophisticated than Nespresso machines, since it offers the option to heat and serve milk. But, it's a lot more idiot-proof than a conventional home espresso maker, and is an excellent choice for those who aren't confident with a manual espresso maker. The Jolie has a large chrome lever which can be opened and closed the capsule slot. In addition, the 0.9-litre water tank slots in behind it. The large capsule bin can hold up to ten empty capsules. Similar to the Vertuo Plus, it's easy to use and heats up in just a few minutes. It is also very quiet and requires very little energy, so you'll save on your electricity bills. The only drawback with this model is that it only works with Lavazza's capsules, rather than the range of Nespresso capsules. This isn't an issue for everyone but it could be an issue for those who are interested in changing brands. If you decide to buy this machine, make sure to buy 100 reusable capsules along with your purchase. They aren't expensive, but you'll save money in the end because they are less expensive than Nespresso pods. 3. Tassimo My Way A fully automated machine that is easy to use. It features a large platform that can be adjusted to different heights for tall glasses or smaller espresso cups. The buttons are numbered, making it easy to pick your desired settings. It can also be used to store four personal variations, making this a good choice for families and couples with differing preferences. The machine is energy efficient and comes with a handy indicator that informs you when it's time to descale (which requires an instruction disc to be tucked in a slot). Like the other 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 milk that is frothy. It's equipped with Intellibrew technology, which automatically recognizes the kind of drink and adjusts the brewing time, temperature and strength in accordance with the drink. This prevents you from altering settings that are not sensible, such as the strength of coffee when you add milk. It also ensures that your drink tastes consistently good. The My Way 2 has a great range of flavours to choose from, with more than 50 famous brands including Costa favorites, Kenco, L'OR and Cadbury's. You can make lattes, cappuccinos and even frosty Americanos. It is easy to clean and features a standby mode that saves energy. The water tank is easily removed and filled with fresh water. It doesn't come with an integrated mechanism for disposing of T Discs that are used. Instead it has partnered up with Podback which is a recycling company which allows you to recycle the discs using an on-site program. 4. Jolie Jolie is a small pod coffee machine that has been on the market since only a few years. It has a lot of advantages against newer models. Its slimline design takes up less counter space than larger machines, and its controls are easy to operate. By pressing a single button, you can choose between lungo and espresso. A cup holder that is removable allows you to use standard cups or mugs. The Jolie is not expensive, but it's an excellent choice for those seeking a simple capsule espresso maker that makes high-quality espresso with minimal effort. A handy steam wand comes included too that allows you to add milk for the creation of a cappuccino or latte. It's also among the quietest machines we've seen which means it won't disturb early morning family sleep-ins. SMEG has a reputation for elegant kitchen equipment, and this retro-looking pod coffee maker is no exception (choose from red, cream or black). It's compact enough to be able to fit in between other appliances on your counter top but it doesn't sacrifice functionality. One button press can brew either a short or long lungo. The energy saving mode is activated after two minutes and seven days without usage. The Jolie is a great choice if you like the retro style of SMEG or want to customize your coffee better than what the major brands provide. It includes 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, adjust the coffee temperature and adjust the pressure. 5. Infinissima Whether you're in the market for a quick cup of coffee to kick start your day or a luxurious morning espresso The Infinissima has you covered. It's a sleek automatic capsule machine that's simple to use and provides many beverages. It has a unique design that's inspired by the infinity symbol and comes with an triangular water tank as well as a the globular pod holder. The Infinissima's quirky design is cool, it doesn't compromise on quality. It employs a high-pressure system to extract the best flavor from each capsule of coffee and creates professional-quality crema in the cafe style. It features a fast heating time, meaning your drinks will be ready in just a few minutes. It also has a large, removable 1.2L water tank, so you can make multiple cups before you need to refill. Another great feature is the Infinissima's capability to brew hot and cold beverages. The adjustable temperature settings allow you to select from a variety of beverages such as iced coffee and macarchiato latte. It also comes with a cup warming plate to keep your drink warm and keep it from cooling too fast. The Infinissima is equipped with a timer which will shut down the machine after a certain amount of time. This helps to improve energy efficiency. The Infinissima is easy to use, featuring simple controls and a clear LCD that lets you select your beverages. It also comes with a self-rising capsule holder that makes it easier to insert capsules and fill the water tank. It also comes with a handy filter and cleaning kit that allow the reuse of capsules. Infinissima capsule coffee makers are a great option to consider if you're looking for a top-quality machine in Qatar.
