The Best Nespresso Machine (But It’s Not for Everyone)

After making and tasting over 100 espressos, lungos, latte macchiatos, and cappuccinos, we’ve determined that all Nespresso machines make identical drinks. We don’t love the flavor of Nespresso, but for those who prefer espresso drinks to drip coffee, a Nespresso machine is the fastest and most convenient way to make something like them at home—though if you want to make real at-home espresso, we recommend these beginner setups instead. We like the compact Nespresso Essenza Mini because it makes the same quality coffee as machines that cost hundreds more, without any extra frills.

Nespresso Essenza Mini, the nespresso machine we recommend

The Essenza Mini makes the same espresso as $400 Nespresso machines but has a smaller footprint and no unnecessary features.
We recommend
Nespresso Essenza Plus, a more versatile nespresso

A more versatile Nespresso
This larger-capacity machine can also brew Americanos, making it a good option for households that want both espressos and more diluted coffee drinks.
A better upgrade

Instant Pod
