8 best Nespresso machines: quality coffee without the mess

All the best Nespresso machines in one place - perfect pod coffee revealed.


The best Nespresso machine does a pretty damn good job of creating a top-notch brew. The coffee company offers a vast range of coffee capsules with flavours to suit your every mood.

Fancy an intense or syrupy Kazaar? Or perhaps you’re more a round-and-balanced Livanto kind of coffee drinker? Whatever you prefer, the Nespresso capsule range is extensive, and promises a satisfying start to the day.

While the sight of George Clooney standing alongside the glossy Nespresso coffee machines does help to add that x-factor to the Nespresso brand, its luxurious coffee capsules and sophisticated collection of user-friendly machines do a great job of holding their own.

But with so many companies including Krups, De’Longhi and Magimix fighting for the top spot to provide the ultimate Nespresso coffee machine design, it’s hard to know which machine is right for you.

That’s why we’ve pulled together this list of top Nespresso coffee machines, each boasting their own special feature.

Read on to find out which one of these Best Nespresso Coffee Machines is equipped to make the perfect grande, skinny, sugar-free vanilla flat white first thing in the morning or a simple yet divine, bold hit of espresso after dinner.

8. Nespresso Expert & Milk By Magimix

The Nespresso Expert & Milk by Magimix is a model you’ll want to show off to dinner-party guests. It comes in uber-stylish anthracite and off-black finishes, and its flat-to-wall design is inspired by professional barista machines. Its name alone should fill you with confidence when you’re trying to conjure up a perfect cappuccino.

With a built-in Aeroccino3 milk frother that sits neatly alongside the main body, an easy to navigate four-cup size display and Bluetooth smart technology that lets you connect to the Nespresso app and create personalised coffee it has an all-round impressive spec.

7. Nespresso Essenza Mini By Magimix

Have a small worktop in your kitchen, with limited room? Keep things neat with the Essenza Mini, which measures a mere 20.4cm high.

It may be small but its 19-bar pump and fast 25-second heat-up are powerful, and it comes with easy to read controls to give you both espresso and lungo coffee. If you find yourself hankering after a latte, simply get yourself a freestanding Aerocinno, which can be neatly packed away in the cupboard with the Essenza when not in use. As well as a punchy red finish, it comes in lime green, black and white.

6. Nespresso De’Longhi Lattissima One

With compact and sophisticated Nespresso styling, the De’Longhi Lattissima One comes in not just black but a ‘soft black’ finish. There’s also a ‘silky white’ finish to choose from. Good looks aside, this machine is a sound choice if you love milky coffees, creamy cappuccinos, long hot chocolates or all of the above, as it will froth milk directly into your cup from the milk jug. It’s designed to be simple to use yet speedy and effective, with three main settings for Espresso, Lungo and Milk. You really can’t go wrong with this reasonably priced design...
