Nespresso: This capsule machine is suitable for you

Translation: machine translated
Nespresso capsule machines come in various shapes and designs. I'll tell you which one you need and why the most expensive Nespresso machine is not necessarily the best.
Did you know that the Nespresso patent has been around for over 40 years and that the first machines were sold over 30 years ago in Japan, Italy and Switzerland? That was long before George Clooney coined the slogan "What else?". But the advertising medium turned out to be a stroke of luck: Clooney was the big hit. Switzerland now exports more coffee than chocolate and cheese every month!
Part of Nespresso's success is that the coffee always tastes the same. No matter which capsule machine you own, the flavour remains the same. There is a reason for this: the inner workings - the brewing group - are identical in every Nespresso machine. It therefore doesn't matter whether you buy an expensive or a cheap capsule machine, the coffee is always extracted in the same quality. When choosing your machine, other criteria are important.
The milk question
I hardly ever drink lattes, but my girlfriend can't survive a morning without a milk frother. Depending on the type of milk, different Nespresso machines are worthwhile...
I drink several lattes a day
Then you need a capsule machine with a permanently installed milk tank. You need so much milk that it is out of the tank so quickly that it doesn't turn sour. Get a Nespresso machine with an internal milk system.
Latte is okay, but it doesn't always have to be
A milk tank is not worthwhile for you, it would be a waste. Nevertheless, a milk frother right next to the Nespresso machine is an advantage, as you don't need a power socket and extra space. The frother is quickly filled and the milk can be easily portioned.
The question of space
This also depends on the type of coffee you prefer to enjoy. If you only drink espressos, you don't need a monster machine because your cups will fit under the smallest Nespresso machine. However, if you like a lungo or a macchiato, then the capsule machine should be a little bigger.
Space saver
You only drink an espresso now and then, live in a kitchen designed for hobbits and rarely have guests? These Nespresso machines are not only space-saving, but also affordable.

The eye-catchers
Do you like design in your kitchen, have enough space and don't want to limit yourself to the minimum? These capsule machines offer you additional functions and look great.
Which machine you choose depends entirely on your taste. There is almost as much choice in Nespresso machines as there is in Kapseln.

Simon.Balissat@digitecgalaxus.chWhen I flew the family nest over 15 years ago, I suddenly had to cook for myself. But it wasn’t long until this necessity became a virtue. Today, rattling those pots and pans is a fundamental part of my life. I’m a true foodie and devour everything from junk food to star-awarded cuisine. Literally. I eat way too fast.
