Princess Capsule Coffee Maker

Product Information

We were looking for how easy each coffee machine was to use, how easy they were to clean, how much space they took up in our small kitchens and how easy they were to maintain.

For the full roster of our tried-and-tested coffee recommendations, visit our guides to the best espresso machines, best coffee pod machines, best bean-to-cup coffee machines, best iced coffee makers and accessories, and best milk frothers. Select from our range of coffee capsule machines, ideal for the space conscious espresso coffee lover who also enjoys long blacks, lattes, cappuccinos and flat whites. Others simply bundle a separate milk frother which heats and froths the milk at the touch of a button. Just take one of the coffee capsules and put it in the coffee pod maker; and, at the touch of a button, you can have your coffee ready in no time and start enjoying every sip. Some of the priciest machines have built-in milk carafes which allow them to deliver creamy lattes and cappuccinos at the touch of the button, while others have steam wands which allow you to manually steam your own milk to create your own.Its slimline body helps it fit between other appliances on a worktop, and its power cable winds up underneath to keep it tidy. Key specs – Pod type: Nespresso Vertuo pods; Drink sizes: Five (Espresso, Double Espresso, Gran Lungo, Mug, Alto); Bar pressure: N/A (uses centrifugal force); Water tank capacity: 1. This new Vertuo Pop – distinguished by its funky-coloured tops in red, blue, turquoise, gold, cream and black – is the smallest Nespresso machine, perfectly designed for ‘bijou’ flats like mine where space on the kitchen counter is at a premium. The machine then makes sure there’s a fine balance of everything – water pressure, temperature, coffee dosage – to deliver top notch coffee. Plus, the choice of pods opens up plenty of relatively eco-friendly pod options for the eco-conscious.

For models that come with a milk frother, they put this to the test by steaming both milk and a non-dairy alternative to gauge the heat, texture and stability of the foam. The milk frother can also be programmed to produce specific microfoam textures depending on which drink you're making, and it produced consistent, creamy results each time. But it’s not just its looks which set it apart: you get to decide exactly how much coffee goes into your cup.Simply pop the pod in the top, switch the lever to hot, then move it back once you’ve poured as much coffee as you want. The difference is that you make a jug of coffee rather than a cup and each jug makes 10 cups of coffee, in theory. It's the right hazelnut colour for a crema and although a tad foamy, is a reliable addition for crema lovers. Nevertheless, if you’re after a simple, affordable coffee capsule machine that won’t take up too much space, the Jolie is a fantastic option.

These only fit in vertuo machines, but have the benefit of coming in different sizes so you can opt for a shorter or longer coffee.A De'Longhi coffee machine or a Tassimo coffee machine also features a range of preparation styles and designs—from traditional and contemporary to filter and espresso. Your coffee is dispensed, and then you can go on to steam your milk for lattes, flat whites, cappuccinos, etc. Our selection includes various coffee machines for home, designed to serve a delicious cup every time.
