The best commercial coffee machine Nespresso machines are elegant and durable, fast to heat up, simple to use and clean and offer a variety of drinks. They should be compatible only with the original Nespresso capsules and come with a special container for capsules that have been used.

1. The Vertuo Creatista

The Vertuo Creatista is a brand new model in Nespresso's line-up and it fills an important niche. It's also the very first and only Vertuo machine to come with an integrated milk frother.

The machine is a middle-of the-line Vertuo model with a premium stainless steel design. It comes with a 2L tank of water as well as an adjustable drip plate that allows you to use your own travel carafe or mug. It utilizes Nespresso Centrifusion to create capsules for brewing, and make a variety of drinks. This includes espresso, lungo, and alto, in addition to cappuccino macchiato, latte and cappuccino.

It's compatible with the original Nespresso capsules as well as their Vertuo Line counterparts. The machine reads the barcode located on the lip of the pod to determine the optimal settings for optimal results. This makes it the most intelligent machine in the line-up.

The Creatista is, like other Nespresso machines has a fast temperature rise due to its thermoblock system. The only downside is that it takes a little longer to prepare an espresso shot than other models in the lineup.

The built-in milk maker is the main attraction for the majority of people. The wand looks just like the manual steam wands you'll find on other espresso machines, but it is fully automatic and comes with control settings for temperature and texture. This is a great feature for anyone who likes adding milk to their coffee, and it will make the Creatista a more attractive option for many buyers. Before, Nespresso milk-based coffee was only available on the Aeroccino and Lattissima models.

2. The CitiZ

This sleek and compact machine from Nespresso makes a lovely addition to any kitchen. It's easy to clean and uses fewer energy resources than most other pod-based coffee makers we've tested yet still delivers a great cup of coffee.

In our most recent tests it was found that the CitiZ performed well in single-serve and larger mode of brewing. It also has a number of amazing features, like the capability to connect via WiFi or Bluetooth (for tracking capsules and maintenance alerts), an water tank that can hold up to 32 ounces, and a sleek and modern design.

The machine's fast heat-up feature will bring water to the perfect temperature in only 25 seconds. The automatic energy-saving function stops the machine after nine minutes. If you want to add milk to your coffee,, you'll need to buy an additional milk frothing device.

One of the things we love about of the CitiZ is the labeled buttons that are easy to use. You can choose from a wide selection of single-serve drinks. These include an espresso shot in three sizes as well as various milk-based options such as lattes, cappuccinos and flat whites.

The CitiZ might be a bit more expensive than the Essenza Mini or other compact OriginalLine models. It does offer a few additional features that some consumers might find worth the cost. For instance, it's the first Nespresso model that uses 40% recycled plastic. It also allows you to connect to an app on your smartphone to receive maintenance alerts and brewing instructions.

The CitiZ's water reservoir, drip tray and capsule container are removable to allow for easy cleaning. It also comes with an integrated descaling mode. However, the frequency at which you should run it will be contingent upon your home's water hardness. We suggest softened or filtered water, which can cut down on mineral buildup.

3. The Essenza Mini

The Mini is a compact Nespresso machine that is able to fit into the tiniest kitchens. It's a great choice for singles or Nespresso novices who don't want to spend much money and who aren't interested in paying for extra features that will not improve their cup of coffee in any way (like Bluetooth technology or a the latte art wand). The Mini isn't big but that doesn't mean it cannot do its job. It can brew ristrettos and espressos as well as lungos. It's also the simplest and cheapest Nespresso machine to clean, maintain, and operate.

If you're looking for something slightly bigger than the Mini, there's the Nespresso Essenza Plus. It's a smaller model with the same design and brewing technology, but with a minimalist look. It also comes with an Nespresso capsule container and jug as well as an adjustable water tank. It's also a bit more expensive, but it could be worth the extra cost when you'll be brewing mostly Americanos or if you'd like to make larger quantities of ristretto or espresso.

The Lattissima machines are the most recent addition to the Essenza range. They provide one-touch convenience and a range of beverage options. The Lattissima Pro and Gran Lattissima all have a milk reservoir on the front, as well as an ice-maker to make cappuccinos or lattes. They're more expensive than the Essenza Mini, but they're worth it if the ability to make large-sized milky drinks at any time without lifting a pod.

4. The Vertuo Plus

If you're looking for a machine which can make larger cups of espresso-style shots This VertuoLine model may be right for you. 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 choose between alto and regular sizes. It also comes with the centrifusion process, which pulls water from 20 punctures on the capsule's top. According to Nespresso the process produces a high level of crema.

This model is an excellent choice for those who are looking for a reliable, foolproof espresso machine that can make coffee at the push of a button. It does not have too many bells and whistles. It performed well in our Single-Serve Coffee Makers laboratory tests, particularly in terms of first-cup speed and repeat speed.

It's one of the most affordable choices among Nespresso machines and has a compact footprint. The only caveat is that it doesn't have a broad capacity for storing used capsules and has a smaller water tank than other models.

If you're thinking of making milk-based drinks such as lattes and cappuccinos, you should consider spending an extra bit on a machine that has an integrated milk frother. Both the Lattissima and Creatista can do so with minimal effort, while the Nespresso Inissia is designed to make your life easier with a milk container that can hold up to 12 capsules.

All Nespresso machines should be descaled at the very least a few time a year. The company claims it's easy to do so and they provide warnings on the machine to let you know when it's time to descale. You can also purchase descaling kits from the company to take a more hands-off approach.

5. The Creatista Pro

If you're a Nespresso lover who enjoys milk-based coffee and milk-based coffee, the Creatista Pro is a good option. Like its sibling Creatista Plus, it offers various drink options and is easy to use. The milk frother can be manually adjusted to adjust the temperature and texture of the milk. It is also automatic and self-cleaning. The result is a silky smooth and frothy milk that's perfect for cappuccinos, lattes and flat whites.

This Original Line machine uses Nespresso Vertuo pods. It can brew espresso in three different sizes or milk-based drinks such as cappuccinos and latte macchiatos. It's extremely user-friendly with large LCD display that is clear and bright, as well as labelled buttons for the different drink types. It also comes with an artisanal steam wand that resembles a barista and a milk jug, which is much easier to clean than the standard integrated frothers found on the majority of Nespresso machines.

The Creatista Pro may be a bit more expensive than other models, but it is a premium machine. It's easy-to-use and looks beautiful on your counter. It also comes with a complimentary compactor and capsules that can be reused, which will save you money in the long run.

For a slightly less-expensive model, you can look into the Nespresso CitiZ&Milk. It might not have as many bells, whistles, and features as the Creatista but it has an array of drinks, including lattes, cappuccinos and three different sizes of espresso. It also has a more intuitive interface, with just a single button that can be used for powering on and washing. It's also compact and small, and it has an adjustable water tank that allows you to easily adjust it to your kitchen's layout.
