There is no advantage (that I found) to one brand over the other. The most important thing to note is the machine functions and features are essentially the same, even if the brands are not. The two most commonly seen are De’Longhi and Breville. You will notice the machines comes in a variety of brand names. One final note on branding before I tell you all about the Nespresso Essenza Mini. Easy peasy, no muss, no fuss, delicious espresso! Nespresso Machines Brands It’s the perfect espresso machine for beginners and those looking for a quick espresso option that doesn’t require learning to pull their own shots or get the perfect espresso grind.
If you primarily want to make espressos and espresso-based drinks such as lattes, cappuccinos, etc., I highly recommend the Essenza Mini. If that sounds like you, I recommend buying the VertuoPlus. This is also a good choice for someone looking to replace the Keurig with a single-cup coffee machine that brews a stronger cup of coffee. If you mainly drink large cups of coffee but also want the option for the occasional espresso, then go for one of the Vertuo line coffee machines. Spoiler alert: The price per pod coupled with a choice in coffee roasters was a big factor in my choice to go with the Essenza Mini Original Nespresso maker. Original coffee capsule prices typically range from $0.44 to $0.80. The main difference with the Original line is that in addition to Nespresso’s line of coffee pods, you can also purchase original capsules from coffee roasters such as Starbucks, LavAzza, Pete’s, Cafe Bustelo, and more. The Original line uses a small capsule that sort of looks like the little creamer capsules you get at breakfast diners. Instead, you pick your capsule, and the machine scans it and determines the optimal amount of water (and temperature) to brew that specific capsule. No more deciding on whether to choose a 6 oz or 8oz cup size. This takes all the guesswork out of it for the customer. The Vertuoline capsules also use a barcode technology which the machine reads and then based on which type of pod it scanned, it then heats the appropriate amount of water designed for that specific pod. The Vertuoline capsules range in price from $0.85 to $1.25 per capsule. The Vertuoline capsules are still under patent, so you are restricted to the Nespresso brand of coffee pods/capsules. This is important to note for ordering your Nespresso capsules and because it affects both price and variety when it comes to purchasing your Nespresso coffee pods. The Original Nespresso machines and Vertuoline coffee makers also use different coffee capsules based on the technology used to extract the coffee. It also spins it after brewing to “dry” the capsule out. Essentially, it spins your coffee capsule really fast while ejecting water into it. The Nespresso Vertuoline machines use proprietary centrifugal technology to brew coffee. The Nespresso Original machines use 19-bars of pressure to extract the espresso (a bar is a metric unit of pressure). The Nespresso Original machines use the standard pump espresso machine technology that utilizes pressure to create an espresso shot. The Vertuoline coffee machines have 5 different size options: Alto (14oz), Mug (7.77oz), Gran Lungo (5oz), Double Espresso (2.7oz), and Espresso (1.35oz). The Lungo option brews a 3.7oz “long” espresso shot. The Espresso option brews a 1.35oz espresso shot. The Original Nespresso machines have two options: Espresso & Lungo.
