Best Nespresso Machine Reviews

Brigitt Earley is a Good Housekeeping Institute expert who has tested and evaluated various kitchen appliances. She also writes about household gadgets and products.

The top Nespresso machines are stylish and durable, quick to heat up, simple to clean and use, and provide a variety of beverage options. They should be compatible only with the original Nespresso capsules and come with an exclusive container for capsules that have been used.

1. The Vertuo Creatista

The Vertuo Creatista is a brand new model from Nespresso is a product that fills a gap that is crucial. It's also the very first and only Vertuo machine that has an integrated milk frother.

The machine is a middle-of-the-line Vertuo model that has an elegant stainless steel design. It has a tank of 2L of water as well as a removable drip plate that allows you to use your own travel carafe or mug. It makes use of Nespresso Centrifusion to brew capsules, and can create a variety drinks. This includes espresso, alto and lungo as well as cappuccino lattes and macchiato.

It is compatible with the original Nespresso capsules as well as their Vertuo Line counterparts. The machine can read the barcode that is located on the pod lip to determine the best settings for the best results. This makes it one of the smartest machines in the lineup.

Like other Nespresso machines, the Creatista is able to heat up quickly in time due to its thermoblock system. The only issue is that it takes a bit longer to produce an Espresso shot than other models.

The built-in milk maker is the main draw for the majority of people. The wand looks just like the steam wands that manual steamers find on other espresso machines, but it's completely automated and has control settings for temperature and texture. This feature is ideal for those who like adding milk to their coffee. It can make the Creatista more appealing to buyers. In the past, Nespresso milk-based coffee was only available on the Aeroccino and Lattissima models.

2. The CitiZ

This compact, sleek machine from Nespresso is a great addition to any kitchen. It's easy to clean and uses less energy than other pod-based machines we've tested however it still makes the best cup of coffee.

In our most recent tests, the CitiZ did very well in single-serve as well as larger brewing modes. It also boasts several neat features, like the possibility of connecting via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth (for maintenance alerts and capsule tracking), a water reservoir that can hold up 32 ounces of water that has been filtered and a sleek, modern design.

The heating system that is rapid of the machine can heat water to the ideal temperature in 25 seconds. The energy-saving feature automatically shuts down the machine after 9 minutes. If you'd like to add milk to your coffee, however you'll need an additional milk frothing attachment.

One of the things we love about of the CitiZ is its labeled buttons that are simple to use. You can pick from a wide range of single-serve beverages, including espresso shots in three sizes, as well as milk-based drinks like cappuccinos and lattes.

The CitiZ might be a bit more expensive than the Essenza Mini or other compact OriginalLine models. It does offer several additional features that some consumers may find worth the price. It's also the first Nespresso machine that uses 40% recycled material. And it offers the possibility of connecting to a smartphone app that provides maintenance alerts, instructions for brewing and capsule tracking.

CitiZ's drip tray, capsule container and water reservoir are all easily removed for cleaning. It comes with a descaling function integrated. However, the frequency at which you have to run it will depend on your home's water hardness. We recommend using softened or filtered water to reduce mineral buildup.

3. The Essenza Mini

The Mini is the smallest Nespresso machine available, a sleek tower of simple lines that is able to fit in the tiniest kitchens. It's the perfect choice for those just starting out with Nespresso or for those who don't have a lot of money to spend and don't care about additional features (like Bluetooth or a latte-art device) which won't enhance their coffee. But just because it's small doesn't mean the Mini isn't capable of doing its job well. It's able to brew espressos, ristrettos, and lungos without difficulty. It's also the simplest and least expensive Nespresso machine to clean, maintain, and operate.

If you're looking to buy something bigger than the Mini it's the Nespresso Essenza Plus. It shares a minimalist design and features the same brewing process, but it's more of an all-in-one machine, which comes with an adjustable water tank to accommodate different brewing sizes, as well as the Nespresso capsule container and jug. It's also a little more expensive, but it might be worth the extra expense when you'll be brewing mostly Americanos or if you're looking to brew larger cups of ristretto or espresso.

The Lattissima machines are the newest addition to the Essenza range. They offer one-touch convenience, and a range of drink options. The Lattissima Pro, the Gran Lattissima and the Lattissima One all have front-attached milk reservoirs, as well as the ability to froth with a wand for cappuccinos and lattes. They're also more expensive than the Essenza Mini, but they're worth it if the ability to make full-sized milky drinks on the go without lifting the pod.

4. The Vertuo Plus

If you're looking for a machine that can brew larger cups of espresso-style shots the VertuoLine model might be up your alley. It is compatible with the Nespresso original pods, however it is also possible to use third-party pods. It comes with two programable buttons to select between the alto and regular sizes. Additionally, it comes with a quiet centrifusion process that pulls water through 20 punctures within the capsule's domed top which Nespresso says helps produce an exceptional level of crema in every beverage.

This model is among the best cheap espresso machine Nespresso alternatives for those who want reliable, consistent coffee and espresso at the touch of a button, without the bells and whistles. It was a great performer in our Single-Serve Coffee Makers lab tests, particularly when it comes to first-cup speed and repeat speed.

It's one of the more affordable options among Nespresso machines and has a relatively small footprint. It has a smaller tank as well as a smaller capacity for capsules that are used than other models.

If you're looking to make milk-based drinks like cappuccinos or lattes, it's worth spending an extra bit of money in an espresso machine with an integrated frother. The Lattissima, Creatista and Nespresso inissia are all designed to create milk-based drinks with minimum fuss.

All Nespresso machines should be descaled at least once a year. The company claims it's easy to do, and the machine will notify you when it's time to do it. The brand also sells descaling kits to allow the hands-off method.

5. The Creatista Pro

If you are a Nespresso fan who loves milk-based coffees, the Creatista Pro may be a ideal option for you. Like its sibling Creatista Plus, it offers various drinks and is simple to use. The milk frother is automatic and self-cleaning, however it can also be used to manually adjust the texture and temperature as desired. The result is a smooth, frothy milk perfect for lattes and cappuccinos.

This Original Line machine uses Nespresso Vertuo pods. It can make espresso in three sizes, as well as milk-based drinks such as cappuccinos and latte macchiatos. It's super easy to use with large, clear LED display and clearly labeled buttons for different drinks. It also has the barista-style steam wand as well as a milk jug, which is much easier to clean than the conventional integrated frothers on most Nespresso machines.

The Creatista Pro is a bit more expensive than the other models listed here, but it's an excellent machine that is easy to use and looks stunning on your counter. It also comes with a free Tamper and reusable capsules which will save you money in the long run.

For a cheaper model, you can look into the Nespresso CitiZ&Milk. It doesn't have as many bells and whistles as the Creatista however, it does provide an array of beverages with three sizes of espresso, along with cappuccinos and lattes. It also has a more intuitive interface with a single button that controls powering on, rinsing and the brewing. It's also compact and small and comes with an adjustable water tank that lets you easily adapt it to your kitchen layout.
