Nespresso Vertuo Plus capsule coffee machine review

Capsule coffee machine De'Longhi Nespresso

No one will argue that coffee is one of the most common and favorite drinks of our time. Time changes the methods of its preparation, new technologies come, but only the fantastic taste of espresso remains unchanged. Modern technology allows you to cook it in the optimal way - using special capsules, at the touch of a button. The De'Longhi Nespresso EN80 capsule coffee machine is one of the best machines of this type, allowing you to brew coffee with minimal human intervention in this process.

Coffee capsules

The starting material for preparing drinks in capsule-type machines is coffee capsules, which must be original, produced specifically for Nespresso coffee machines. The capsules contain elite Grand Cru coffee, which is collected by hand. This coffee is processed extremely gently, trying to preserve maximum aromas and taste. Coffee beans are roasted, ground, blended (mixing coffee varieties), then the powder is packed into aluminum capsules under pressure. The “Grand Cru” collection is represented by 22 capsules, distinguished by the varietal qualities of coffee.

Ethical Coffee Company, Tassimo, Cremesso, Dualit and others also produce coffee capsules that can be used by Nespresso coffee machines.

The peculiarity of these coffee capsules is the inert gas that is added to each package. This gas prevents oxidation of coffee beans, which guarantees its strength and aroma. The mechanism punctures holes in the capsule packaging for air and hot water to flow through them.

Benefits of capsules:

• no need to grind grains;
• the properties of coffee are preserved throughout the year: it can be purchased for future use;
• the tightness of the packaging allows you to preserve the original aroma and taste of the beans;
• their use ensures the accuracy of the process (nothing spills), the operation of the device is almost silent (machines with coffee grinders make a lot of noise).

Peculiarities

The De'Longhi Nespresso EN80 capsule coffee machine is valued both for its external qualities and for its functional characteristics. It is the most compact of the Nespresso series. The water container holds 0.7 liters. There are only 2 buttons in the machine that set the drink preparation mode: espresso, lungo.

Using the machine is very simple: just place the coffee capsule in the container and press the desired button that corresponds to the desired type of coffee. When you press the button, you need to hold it until the required volume of drink in the cup is reached. Then you should confirm the volume by pressing the button three times. As a result of these actions, the mechanism will be programmed - and then by default it will give exactly this amount of liquid.

The machine allows you to program the strength of cappuccino and latte drinks, and the volume of milk foam.

According to the instructions included with the coffee machine, the consumer can use the data from the table there to adjust the water hardness level.

The switch-off time can be set.

To obtain high-quality foam, milk should be no higher than 4 degrees with a fat content of 2.8-3.2%.

The Nespresso De'Longhi Lattissima+ EN 520 capsule type model is the most multifunctional and fastest among Nespresso. It has a stylish design, the body color is black, and there are backlit buttons.

The operation of the machine is fully automated. One of the features of this model is that it prepares De'Longhi cappuccino using an automatic system that has a patent. One touch of a button in this unit allows you to get different types of coffee: espresso, cappuccino and latte macchiato. The ejection of used capsules and the shutdown of the mechanism also occur in auto mode. Warming up takes 1 minute. Included:

• volumetric removable container for water, containers for milk and used capsules;
• drip tray;
• system in which capsules are installed;
• separate compartment for cable.

The coffee machine remembers the user-specified parameters. A cup of coffee brews in 27 seconds. The machine also works with non-original capsules, but in this case you will have to remove them from the container yourself.

The Nespresso budget capsule machines include the Inissia series. This coffee machine can brew lungo or espresso. The machine is equipped with a shutdown system that turns off 9 minutes after finishing work. Has a container for used capsules that can hold up to 11 capsules.

Caring for cars in this series is quite simple. The body should be wiped down from time to time with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning agent, and the drip tray and cappuccino unit should be rinsed with water. Used sticks should be thrown away regularly.

It is necessary to carry out descaling in a timely manner (in accordance with the operating instructions).

Reviews

Users note the following advantages of Nespresso drip machines:

• excellent taste of coffee;
• ease of operation;
• modern design, compact;
• Quiet work process.

The disadvantages are the high cost of the capsules, as well as the fact that they are quite problematic to purchase.

The De'Longhi Nespresso capsule coffee machine is the optimal choice for those who do not like to complicate their lives. Fast, easy and tasty - these are the operating principles of Nespresso coffee machines.

Nespresso and De'Longhi - what's the difference?

Are you a confused home barista? Are you tired of long, troublesome methods for making coffee at home and the results not meeting your requirements? If you can answer “yes” to any of these questions, you've probably already thought about adding an espresso machine to your collection of coffee gadgets. Now we're not talking about the noisy, floating monster you see on the counter of your local coffee shop.

Most self-taught baristas want an espresso machine that is designed for home use. Sounds simple, doesn't it? Unfortunately, there are many different types of this device, and it is not always clear which is best to choose.

Don't worry: we will help you.

This article looks at 2 of the most popular brands that are often confused - Nespresso and De'Longhi.

So what is the difference between them?

Nespresso and De'Longhi differences

De'Longhi make a variety of espresso machines, some of which are Nespresso compatible. Other brands, such as Breville, also make Nespresso machines, and Nespresso themselves have their own line of coffee machines.

In short, if you like capsule coffee, then it's worth purchasing a Nespresso-compatible coffee machine from one of the manufacturers (including De'Longhi).

Nespresso machines

As you might have guessed, Nespresso machines are manufactured by the Swiss company Nespresso, part of the Nestlé food corporation. You've probably seen advertisements for these cars featuring Hollywood ladies' man George Clooney.

Nespresso machines use Nespresso's unique patented capsule system. Each capsule is designed for one cup of coffee. You just need to load the capsule into the machine, press the button and wait for the drink to be prepared. It's simple!

The machine extracts the flavor from the capsule by passing hot water through it. The drink is then poured into your mug. You can adjust the machine to the desired cup size, and also choose capsules that differ in flavors and coffee strength. However, nothing else can be done with the Nespresso machine. If you want to make a latte or cappuccino, you will need to purchase an electric milk frother and make the drink yourself after preparing the base - espresso.

The art of using Nespresso machines

At first glance, Nespresso machines seem quite easy to use. Our tips will help you get the most out of your device. Continue reading, ardent coffee lovers...

1. Although all home coffee machines have preset programs, the result can be changed in accordance with your taste preferences. When the coffee begins to pour from the machine into the mug, you need to carefully monitor its color. If the room is dimly lit, use a flashlight (which is what iPhones have them for, apparently). Start the machine, then stop the coffee flow according to the color change (details below). You can regulate the flow by pressing the buttons once and for a long time. To keep filling the mug, just press the “start” button. When the flow just begins, you will notice that the drink has a reddish-brown tint. Reddish-brown color = ristretto. The color then changes to caramel, light brown, and this shade correlates with espresso. When the color turns bright yellow, it means that the process of extracting flavor from the capsule is complete. Now just hot water with a small amount of residual coffee is poured into the coffee. Accurately choosing the right concentration of coffee is quite a painstaking job, but it comes with practice.
2. Nespresso machines heat up very quickly. Although this means that the brewing speed is very high, the coffee may turn out barely warm. If you like to drink very hot coffee in the morning, try this trick... Without inserting the capsule into the machine, place a cup in the receiver and turn on the device. Select your espresso and let the water run through the machine. Once the flow stops, open the machine and insert the capsule without removing the mug. Empty the cup and start the machine. Now the device and its components are sufficiently warmed up, as is your mug. As a result, the drink should be quite warm. Thanks to this ritual, the machine is washed, so there is no stagnation of coffee oils that could affect the taste of the future drink.
3. Always use bottled or filtered water in your Nespresso machine. In general, this advice can be applied to making any coffee in general. Tap water tastes like chemicals. If you live in an area where the water is hard, the lime in it can damage your car.
4. Before inserting the capsule, check its packaging. There should be a slight bulge on the foil of each capsule. If the foil looks deflated or flat, there may be a hole in it. A capsule with a hole in it will not produce delicious coffee because the sealed packaging has been damaged and the contents of the capsule may have leaked out.
5. If you have a Nespresso machine, you are not necessarily limited to just Nespresso capsules. There are many other companies that make coffee pods compatible with your device. Try several alternatives to find the brand that produces the best taste.
6. Although rinsing the machine with clean water will remove any coffee oils from the machine, you should periodically run the cleaning pod for a deeper clean.
7. Even if you use filtered or bottled water, you should descale your Nespresso machine at least once a year. Descaling capsules or liquids can be purchased from online stores. Instructions on which products to use and how to select a descaling program can be found from the manufacturer.

De'Longhi machines

De'Longhi produces many different devices for making coffee, including espresso machines.

This may be confusing to some, but this company has a full line of "normal" espresso machines like this one: DeLonghi ESAM3300 Magnifica Super-Automatic Espresso/Coffee Machine

However, this brand makes a line of espresso machines that are compatible with Nespresso. That's it in a nutshell. If you're loyal to the De'Longhi brand and love the convenience of Nespresso capsules, then you're in luck.

Nespresso De'Longhi machines

These machines are the result of the coming together of two key figures in the espresso and coffee industry. Their union gave birth to amazing home coffee machines.

The machines themselves are made by De'Longhi, a world-famous manufacturer of small household appliances and food preparation devices, including espresso coffee machines. In the case of their Nespresso machines, you need to use Nespresso capsules to make coffee.

The basic principle of operation of the machines is the same, but there is one important difference. De'Longhi machines have a built-in hot milk preparation system.

This system is a removable milk container that is installed in the machine. The device heats the milk, mixes and froths it as needed to prepare any coffee drink selected in the machine menu. Since the container is removable, leftover milk can be stored in the refrigerator for later use. Emptying the container after it is empty is also a quick and easy task.

There seem to be endless variations of Nespresso De'Longhi machines. The two most popular models are discussed below.

Espresso machine De'Longhi EC155 with cappuccino maker and 15 bar pump

This model of espresso machine can be loaded with both capsules, which is convenient and increases the speed of preparing the drink, and your own ground coffee, if you prefer. You can prepare both cappuccino and latte using a device such as a milk frother. There are two different thermostats, thanks to which you can ensure that the prepared espresso is at the desired temperature. The steam and water pressure can be adjusted separately from each other.

Approximate price: $88.99

Combination of espresso machine with pump and drip coffee maker for 10 mugs, De'Longhi BCO430 with integrated milk frother

This device allows you to prepare both drip coffee and espresso. The built-in milk frother is very convenient.

Approximate price: $199.99

Homemade espresso... Convenient and fast

So, whether you want to look like George Clooney or just want to start your day with a delicious cup of espresso-based drink, you'll probably be interested in purchasing one of these models.

The simplest Nespresso machine is suitable for those who like regular coffee. This style of machine will be convenient if you make coffee in a hurry, so you don’t need any bells and whistles. All you need to do is install the capsule, press the start button and start making toast while brewing coffee.

These machines are also suitable for coffee lovers on a budget. These models are cheaper than branded De'Longhi.

Whether you start your day with a creamy latte or a frothy cappuccino, you'll love the convenience of De'Longhi's built-in hot milk system. Of course, there is a huge variety of De'Longhi coffee machines. They all provide slightly different features.

The price fluctuations are huge. You can pay double figures for the most basic De'Longhi machine, or you can spend several hundred dollars on a model that practically sings, dances and cleans while it makes coffee.

Whatever you choose, Nespresso or De'Longhi, you can be sure that you are purchasing a quality device that will make great coffee and last a long time.

Happy coffee making!

Pros and cons of a Nespresso capsule coffee machine

Nespresso is a well-known brand that produces portioned coffee capsules and coffee machines for its production. The brand has a large number of gourmet connoisseurs, because Nespresso has a well-structured concept and is constantly working to improve its product. Today the company offers a wide selection of flavors. This includes both traditional varieties of cappuccino, espresso, latte and others, as well as varieties that are completely caffeine-free. The main series of Nespresso coffee consists of more than 15 variations of Grand Cru coffee, each of which has its own individual and unique taste.

History of the Nespresso coffee machine

The history of Nespresso coffee machines dates back to the 1970s. At that time, one of the employees of the largest company Nestle had an interesting idea. He proposed creating a sealed capsule-tablet that would preserve the freshness, richness and aroma of freshly ground coffee for a long time.

A Nespresso capsule is a small cone-shaped container. It is made of aluminum, which is coated on the inside with transparent cling film to protect the coffee from oxidation upon contact with metal, as well as to avoid aluminum particles from getting into the coffee. The manufacturer guarantees a high degree of safety during use.

Capsule coffee machines were created for the convenience and speed of coffee preparation

One capsule is equal to one serving of coffee. To prepare it, it was necessary to create a special coffee machine, the development of which took more than ten years. In 1986, the company Nestle Nespresso SA was created, which became the first in the market of portioned coffee capsules. Immediately after the opening of the company, the Nespresso coffee machine was introduced to the general public, which immediately became a sales leader in most major countries and cities.

Advantages and disadvantages

Nespresso coffee capsules have many benefits:

• economical consumption;
• the capsule-tablet is made from the best varieties of coffee, which are properly roasted and ground;
• drink preparation speed;
• There is no need to clean up and wash after making coffee. Simply throw away the used capsule.

Manufacturers and prices of capsule-type coffee makers

Machines for the Nespresso system are manufactured by two fairly well-known companies: DeLonghi, KitchenAid and Krups. All Nespresso coffee machines have good build quality, a modern appearance, and offer pressure up to 18 bar. Prices for devices vary from 5,000 to 50,000 thousand rubles. Coffee gets such an exquisite taste thanks to the use of special technology.

A special needle pierces the capsule and hot water is supplied, the water fills the capsule through the resulting holes.

The water pressure changes the pressure in the capsule, after which the capsule is pierced from the back and the coffee is poured into the cup. Thanks to this technology, a product is obtained that will satisfy even the most demanding coffee connoisseurs.

How to use and which capsules are suitable

Capsule-type coffee makers are quite easy to use. When choosing between Nespresso capsule coffee machine models, you need to have a clear idea of ​​the end result you want to get. Most models of this company brew only two types of black coffee (ristretto and lungo) or more (espresso, Americano).

Others, using an additional unit, a cappuccino maker, froth the milk to a soft foam, thereby allowing them to obtain a wide variety of drinks - cappuccino, latte, moccacino and others. There are also models that prepare hot chocolate and cocoa.

The higher the power of the coffee machine, the more cups you will prepare during the day.

Another parameter that you should pay attention to when choosing and purchasing a machine is the number of cups. Modification of coffee machines allows you to simultaneously prepare coffee for both one and two cups. The second option will be convenient for a large family or office.

Nespresso coffee machines are a favorite among lovers of good coffee. This is an excellent option, both for home use and on a larger scale. This device would be an excellent option for office use.

Ground coffee of high quality is hermetically packed in cassulas.

Many users note the ease of use; you just need to insert the capsule into the machine and within 30-60 seconds, aromatic coffee awaits you at the exit.

You no longer need to fuss with a coffee grinder and filters to get a quality drink.
