The Best Capsule Coffee Machines of 2017

This machine is ideal for Nespresso lovers who want to go away from the tiny capsules. It utilizes larger Vertuo capsules and scans the barcodes of each capsule to automatically adjust the settings to the size of your drink you want.

It can save customized drinks to a button for super-speedy preparation, and includes americano, espresso and ristretto options. It also comes with a adjustable drip tray that can be adjusted in height and a sleep mode that is energy-efficient.

1. Nespresso Vertuo Plus

The Nespresso Vertuo Plus is one of two new models to join the Nespresso range in 2017. It's narrower than other models, allowing it to fit into more spaces. And it's available with a broader selection of colours too.

The machine runs the latest version of Nespresso's pod-based technology. Vertuo Plus spins the capsule at up to 7000rpm instead of piercing it to pump hot water into it. It mixes ground coffee with water to make a brew. The capsule then drips down one central hole and out of 18 smaller holes, which gives a rich crema on your drink. The machine can make both espresso and lungo-style drinks.

It scans the barcode on the bottom of every capsule to customize the method of blending for each. This is why you cannot use capsules from other brands that have the Vertuo Plus - only Nespresso's own pods come with the barcode.

There's just one button to press on the top of the machine, and it's simple to operate. Just click the silver lever at the front, and it will raise to reveal a place for your chosen pod. Then drop it into place and press the single button to begin the brewing.

The machine has a 40-ounce reservoir of water. It also automatically ejects used capsules from the inside. It has a heating time of 15 to 20 seconds, and an automatic shut-off after nine minutes. It is simple to use and reliable, and needs minimum maintenance. However, if you wish to minimize the production of waste from this kind of system, be sure to establish an efficient recycling program for the used pods.

2. Lavazza Vertuo Pop

This compact machine from Lavazza is a stunning addition to your coffee area. The innovative Centrifusion technology scans the barcode of your selected capsule to give you the precise amount of water you need for the perfect cup. It's available in a variety of colors and makes up to five different sizes of hot or iced drinks, including double espresso.

The machine is a bit more sophisticated than Nespresso machines, as it can heat and dispensing milk. It's still more reliable than a regular espresso machine and a great alternative for those who aren't comfortable using a manual coffeemaker. The Jolie is equipped with a large lever that can be opened and closed by the capsule slot. A 0.9-litre tank can be put behind it. The large capsule bin can hold up to ten capsules.

Like the Vertuo Plus, it's easy to use and heats up in just a few minutes. It's also quiet in operation and requires very little energy, making it a good choice for your electricity bills.

The only downside to this model is that it only works with Lavazza's capsules, rather than the range of Nespresso pods. This might not be a problem for most individuals, but it could be a concern for those who prefer to switch between brands. If you do decide to go with this machine, make sure that you get a package of 100 capsules that can be reused with the purchase. They're not inexpensive, but they will save money over the long term since they are cheaper than Nespresso pods.

3. Tassimo My Way

Fully automatic machine with an easy operation. It uses a wide cup platform that can be positioned at different heights to accommodate tall glasses and little espresso cups, and it's easy to pick your preferred settings thanks to the numbered buttons. The machine can keep four different options. It's a great option for couples and families with different tastes. The machine is energy-efficient and comes with an 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 instruction).

It's designed to function, like all Tassimo systems using the company's brand barcoded T Discs which include everything from cold drinks, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and cold drinks, to chilled, frothy milk. Intellibrew technology detects the type and adjusts the time, temperature, and strength to match. This stops you from accidentally changing settings that aren't logical, such as the strength of coffee when you add milk. It also ensures that your drink is consistently delicious.

The My Way 2 offers an array of flavors including Costa favourites Kenco, L'OR, and Cadbury's. You can even make lattes and cappuccinos that are frothy 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 refilled with fresh water. In contrast to other pod machines it doesn't have an integrated mechanism for disposing of the old T Discs, but it has launched a partnership with Podback to allow you to recycle them in a local program.

4. Jolie

Jolie is a small pod coffee machine that has been on the market since only a few years. It holds its own against newer models. Its small, slimline body occupies less space on the countertop than many larger models, while its simple controls make it simple to use. You can choose from espresso or lungo at the touch of a button and a cup holder allows you to use standard cups or mugs too.

The Jolie is not expensive, but it's an excellent choice for anyone seeking a simple capsule espresso maker that can make high-quality espresso with minimal effort. The Jolie has a handy steam wand, which lets you add milk to make a cappuccino. It's also among the quietest we've tested so it won't disturb family sleep-ins in the early morning.

SMEG is known for its elegant kitchen equipment and this retro-styled pod coffee machine is no exception (choose from cream, red or black). It's compact enough to fit between other appliances on your counter but doesn't compromise on features. A single press of a button will make either a shorter espresso or a longer lungo, and its energy saving mode goes into standby after two minutes of inactivity and seven days of non-use.

If you're a fan the SMEG's 1950s-inspired design style or you want to tailor your coffee more than the big brands offer the Jolie is worth considering. It comes with an app that has more barista-friendly recipes as well as a Bloom & Brew setting that pre-wets and infuses the capsule to create a better cup while other settings let you regulate the amount of water you use and adjust the coffee temperature and pressure.

5. Infinissima

If you're in the market for an instant cup of coffee to start your day or a luxurious morning espresso, the Infinissima has you covered. It's a capsule machine that is automatic with a sleek design that is easy to use. It has a unique design that's inspired by the infinity symbol and also includes the triangular water tank, as well as a an globular pod holder.

While the Infinissima's quirky exterior is fun but it doesn't sacrifice quality. It uses a high-pressure system that extracts the maximum flavor from each coffee capsule, and creates a high-end cafe-style crema. It's got a quick heating process, so your coffee will be ready in a matter of minutes. It also has a huge removable 1.2L water tank, so you can make multiple cups before having to refill.

Another excellent feature is Infinissima's capability to brew hot and cold drinks. Its adjustable temperature settings can offer a wide variety of choices, including iced coffee and latte macchiato. It also has an in-cup heating plate that keeps your drink warm, which prevents it from cooling down too quickly. The Infinissima comes with a timer that will turn off the machine after a certain amount of time. This helps to improve energy efficiency.

The Infinissima is simple to use, with simple controls and a clear LCD display that lets you select your beverage options. It also comes with a self-rising capsule holder that makes it easy to add capsules and refill capsule machine coffee the water tank. It also comes with a convenient filter and cleaning kit that allows the reuse of capsules. If you're looking for a top capsule coffee machine in Qatar, the Infinissima is a great choice.
