As with all pod machines you load the pod via an opening on top and drop it in place. The machine penetrates the capsule and then closes it so that when you pull the lever, the pod falls into a dedicated empty pod tray underneath the drip tray.

The machine isn't the fastest machine to brew espresso. It takes about 30 seconds for a single shot and 90 seconds for the lungo. But the results are always spectacular with a smooth, rich flavor and great crema. The machine also alerts you when the water tank or pod bin requires refilling.

They're not cheap however, and you have to buy their official pods.

The Vertuo line is a different machine than the OriginalLine machines, which make use of espresso capsules. The Vertuo line scans the barcode on each capsule, and then automatically adjusts the brewing parameters to produce the perfect cup. And they feature a centrifusion mechanism that spins the capsule to get the most flavorful and thickest crema.

The machines aren't quite as intuitive as the other options. The lid is only opened when the machine is ready, and it takes around 30 seconds for the capsule to get hot. And they don't come with a milk frother like some of the other pod coffee machine with capsules makers listed on this list, meaning you'll need an additional PS90 or so to buy a separate Aeroccino for those who want to make lattes and cappuccinos.

They also require more maintenance than other models - refilling the water tank and emptying the pod containers used for descaling however they come with an app that reminds you to do these tasks, and offers tools such as capsule recyclers and store locators.
