Choose Nespresso Original coffee machine
The Nespresso brewing system in all of these coffee machines is the same. There are a number of differences between these coffee machines. So ask yourself the following questions to which coffee machine that suits you best.
- Which coffee specialties do you want to make?
- How do you want to make milk specialties?
- How much space do you have on your counter?
- Do you want a silent Nespresso coffee machine?
- Which design do you like?
Which coffee specialty do you drink?
The coffee specialties you can make differ per Nespresso machine. You can make an espresso or lungo with every Nespresso machine. Some coffee machines can also make a ristretto or an Americano. There are also Nespresso machines that allow you to make milk specialties with fresh milk.
How do you want to make cappuccinos?
Milk frother: hot and cold frothing
The milk frother is a separate product that you can use to froth and heat up milk. You can also make cold milk foam for iced coffee, for example. Fill the pitcher with milk and press the button. Within 30 seconds, you can pour the milk foam into your cup.
Milk reservoir: cappuccino with the touch of a button
The easiest way to make a cappuccino is with a milk reservoir. It allows you to make a cappuccino at the touch of a button. You can detach the milk reservoir and store it in the fridge.
Automatic steam wand: high-quality milk foam
Coffee machines with an automatic steam wand make it easy to froth milk. Fill a pitcher with milk and place it under the steam wand. You then have to pour the milk into your cup yourself.
How much space do you have on your counter?
Compact coffee machines: 0.6 - 0.7L water tank
Do you have little space on your counter? We recommend choosing a compact Nespresso machine. With a small 0.6 to 0.7L water tank, you can make 5 lungos in a row.
Average coffee machines: 0.9 - 1L water tank
These coffee machines are a bit larger. They have a water tank with a 0.9 to 1L capacity. With this water tank, you can make 8 lungos in a row. This is enough if 3 to 4 people drink 2 lungos a day.
Large coffee machines: 1.3 to 1.5L water tank
If you have enough space on your counter, don't hesitate to go for a large one. With a larger water tank, you can drink more cups of coffee without having to refill it first. With a large 1.3 to 1.5L water tank, you can make 12 lungos in a row.
