Multi-Capsule Coffee Maker

Multi-Capsule Coffee Maker

A multi-capsule coffee machine lets you use capsules from different brands, so you don’t have to stick with just one company’s products.10.multiple capsule coffee maker/nespresso capsule coffee machine It also has a removable water tank that you can fill with ground coffee or compatible pods from other brands. During our tests, this compact Cuisinart model produced rich cups of coffee with balanced flavor and medium body. It also has a built-in grinder that grinds beans right inside the capsule, so you get fuller flavor than with a pre-ground pod.

Nespresso machines brew espresso and coffee with just the push of a button.10.multiple capsule coffee maker/nespresso capsule coffee machine They come in Original and Vertuo lines, and each uses a different extraction method. Original models use 19 bars of high-pressure extraction to bring out the best flavors in each capsule. Vertuo line machines read a barcode on each capsule to adjust the brewing process for best results.

In our tests, we found that both types of Nespresso brewers deliver consistently great-tasting coffee.10.multiple capsule coffee maker/nespresso capsule coffee machine The difference is in the number of cup sizes each can make, which vary from a single 1.35-ounce espresso shot to 3.7-ounce lungos. Some machines have separate buttons for each size, while others can brew any of their available sizes by simply choosing a capsule.

Which machine to choose depends on what kind of coffee you like and how much space you have. We recommend the Nespresso Essenza Mini, which is an affordable option for single-serve brew lovers that doesn’t skimp on quality. It brews great espresso shots with a thick layer of crema and offers the flexibility to add milk for lattes, cappuccinos, and other drinks.

If you have more space and prefer an automatic machine, consider the Nespresso Gran Lattissima. It can produce any of the four Vertuo-compatible coffee and espresso options—espresso, lungo, ristretto, or latte—in just 15 seconds, and it’s a snap to clean. The milk-frothing system is also a winner; it has preset settings for different levels of froth, so you can quickly and easily whip up lattes and cappuccinos without having to follow multiple steps or switch attachments.
