Full article: craftcoffeespot.com/nespresso...
People often think about Nespresso as a good alternative to an espresso machine. But how different is Nespresso vs espresso? They are very different brewing methods. Nespresso is a pod machine with a unique brewing system, while espresso uses finely ground coffee and high pressure to brew a much more concentrated drink. We’ll compare a Nespresso Vertuo Plus to a Breville Barista Pro on how they work, convenience, taste, and cost.

I have a nespresso and espresso machine, while nespresso makes some great tastes, There's something I just prefer about buying the whole bean and preparing it myself, plus it tastes more robust to me. I'll keep both though

Does the espresso give more of a caffein kick since it posablly exracts more due to higher pressure??

@@paginini never noticed it either. Higher pressure and more fine grind should extract more.. but the Nespresso Vertuo brews longer with more agitation with the spinning pod. The feeling is similar. Only problem I’ve had is some Nespresso brew colder, like Vertuo Next. I’d avoid that one.

If you're happy with the Breville, stick with that. Nespresso won't add anything in your case.

How is the temperature of the coffee with this machine?

@craftcoffeespot 10 ай бұрын

The coffee consistently gets to 165 F (74 C). Hotter than the other Vertuo models. Breville Barista Pro is 200 F (93 C).

@defatgames2796 7 ай бұрын

The Vertuo isnt a fair comparison because the original Nespresso machine uses pressure, the same as espresso. But it doesnt burn the coffee.

@craftcoffeespot 7 ай бұрын

I get pretty similar results using an Original vs Breville. You’re right, but the OG pods use less coffee which limits the flavor (I think the Vertuo coffee is just better imo).

@defatgames2796 7 ай бұрын

@@craftcoffeespotRespect for replying with your honest opinion. Lots of people would disagree as the OG uses a proper pump, pressure system so it creates standard, well extracted coffee whereas the vertuo system uses a spinning method which is generally considered to be a worse way of extracting coffee that creates a fake airy foam that quickly dissipates as opposed to your standard, pump, pressure froth created by espresso machines and Nespresso OG machines. You may get "less" coffee in an OG pod but with the OG machines you can control how long you want the machine to extract the coffee for whereas the Vertuo system predetermines how much coffee you can extract with barcodes. (Hate the idea of this because it just feels like it takes away control) Plus with the vertuo system you're locked into buying only Nespresso pods, directly from them online, whereas with the OG machine you can get Nespresso pods in store and tonnes of other coffee brands like Starbucks make coffee pods meaning it's far cheaper and more accessible. Whereas you have to spend say $9 for a Vertuo sleeve, you can often pickup Starbucks, Nescafe, and other brands of Nespresso OG pods on special for say $5 a sleeve. Sorry for the rant just the vertuo I feel is if not already irrelevant, going to become irrelevant as it's just obviously a way to lock customers into only buying coffee directly from Nespresso whereas you can try coffee from basically anywhere with the OG machine.

Why would you compare Nespresso with semiautomatic? Superautomatic would be much better comparison to Nespresso as it's questionable which is more convenient when you want the coffee fast. You need to load each pod manually in Nespresso while in superautomatic you just press the button and do a bit of very easy maintenance occasionally (throw out the waste, fill the coffee tray).

Idk why everyone is getting so heated about the precise comparison here. the general conclusion of taste and cost differences are still the same. It’s a high level video for beginners.

The Nespresso doesn’t make real crema. It basically just froths the coffee. The Nespresso also doesn’t use pressure. You may love it, but it isn’t espresso.

This video is for those thinking, "I want to make espresso but don't want all the work and an expensive machine." Well, Nespresso may be for you. But don't expect the same flavor profile. One missed note: Nespresso machines make more larger drinks. Vertuo machines go up to 8 oz drinks, and some models can brew 12 or 18 oz drinks. Second note: this compares Nespresso Vertuo line, as that's become more popular recently. To see the Original Nespresso, which use a pump like a Breville, see our new video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rdV4h9SmvNXbdWw.html

The Nespresso Vertuo machines dont make real espresso only the Nespresso Original machines do

@rubyww6331 3 ай бұрын

Nespresso is just strong coffee with aerated foam on top. Marketing and social media makes people think that they are getting espresso with crema at high pressure. This is misleading. The coffee may be good but with the right ingredients and proportions, you can also make the same using other drip coffee makers. If you want aerated foam, just use a stick blender. I got a Nepresso before I did any research and I hated it. I hated those barcode capsules. I also hated that I I had to spoon off the thick layer of foam each time in order to add froth milk for my double shot pseudo cappuccino. I switched to another brand and I can make equally strong and tasty double shot cappuccino coffee with less money and less hassle.

I have both machines that you are reviewing, and I can tell you that I prefer the smoother oxygenated extraction of the Nespresso over my Breville barista every time. In a blind taste test with friends they all prefer the smoother less bitter taste of the Nespresso extraction. I make my own custom pods so that the amount of coffee and the type is exactly the same. What you described is exactly the opposite of our experience. I’m also sceptical about the colour of your extractions. They don’t look like the same coffee. Your test is flawed. You need to use the exact same amount of coffee, the same grind, etc. Even the colour of the coffee shows it to be distinctly different blends. Fail.

@craftcoffeespot 8 ай бұрын

Coffee is a subjective experience and everyone has different opinions. Yours in entirely valid. I don't make accusations of better or worse here, because this is an accessible place for any coffee drinker. I even say a lot of people won't like the strong taste of espresso right away, as it's an acquired taste. So we say the same things! As far as color - I am using Counter Culture Hologram, which is a medium roast. Nespresso brews cooler, hence the lighter extraction color, which will be more pronounced on a medium roast. Nespresso pods use very dark roast coffee, which would come out darker and be much more bitter on a Breville since it's hotter and finer grind. Again, this is subjective based on coffee! But, I like the variety and control of a Breville and with practice, it makes better coffee (for me!). Many people will take the simplicity and lower upfront cost of a Nespresso Vertuo.
