1. Nespresso Vertuo Plus

The Nespresso Vertuo Plus was one of two new machines that came into the Nespresso line in 2017. It is smaller than other models and fits into smaller spaces. It comes in more colours.

The machine is the most recent version of Nespresso's pod-based technology. Instead of piercing the capsule to pump hot water through it the Vertuo Plus uses Centrifusion to spin the capsule around at speeds up to 7000rpm. It mixes ground coffee with water to create the brew. The capsule then drips out of a central hole and out of 18 smaller holes, resulting in a thick crema on your drink. The machine is able to make espresso and longer lungo-style drinks.

It scans a barcode that is located on the bottom of each capsule to adjust its blending technique for each. This is why you cannot use capsules from other brands that have the Vertuo Plus Nespresso's exclusive capsules come with the barcode.

It's easy to use, by pressing a single button on the top. Just press the silver lever at the front, and it will raise to reveal a space for the pod you want to use. Place the pod on top and then press the single button to start the brewing.

The machine has a 40-ounce reservoir of water that automatically ejects used capsules from the inside. It also has a warm up time of about 15 seconds and an energy efficient automatic shut off after nine minutes of inactivity. This is a great, reliable and easy-to-use machine with low maintenance. If you want to avoid creating a lot of waste using this kind of machine, be sure to set up an efficient recycling program for the pods that are no longer being used.
