1. Nespresso Vertuo Plus

The Nespresso Vertuo Plus is one of two new models to join the Nespresso range in 2017. It's smaller than other models and is able to fit into smaller spaces. And it comes in a variety of colors, too.

The machine runs the latest 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 up to 7000rpm. This brew is made by mixing ground coffee and water. The capsule drips out of the smaller holes of 18 and into the central hole, giving your drink a more dense crema. The machine is able to make espresso and longer lungo-style drinks.

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

There's just one button to press across the top of the machine and it's simple to use. Click the silver lever on the front to raise it and reveal the space to place your pod. Place the pod making machines in place, then press the single button to start making.

2. Lavazza Vertuo Pop

This compact machine from Lavazza is a stunning addition to your coffee corner. The clever Centrifusion technology scans the barcode on your chosen capsule to give you the precise amount of water needed for the perfect cup. It comes in a variety colors and comes in up to five different sizes including gran latte and double espresso.

This machine is a little more sophisticated than Nespresso pod machines, as it also offers the option of heating and dispensing milk. However, it's still much more foolproof than a conventional home espresso maker, and is a great option for those who aren't confident with a manual espresso maker. The Jolie is equipped with a large lever that opens and closes the capsule slot. A 0.9-litre tank can be put behind it. There's a huge capsule bin too, which will hold ten of your used capsules at one time.

It is easy to use and heats up within minutes. It's also very quiet in operation and uses very little energy, making it a good choice for your electric bills.
