The main difference between Nespresso coffee makers and espresso makers (powdered coffee makers)

Extraction in capsule coffee makers (Nespresso) is done by Nespresso capsules. The contents of these capsules are coffee powder processed from the best crops in the world, which are usually manufactured and marketed by Nestlé (which is the highest quality), Starbucks, Jacobs, Ili, Ben Manu (which is an Iranian company), etc. The quality of the coffee inside this coffee capsule is unique and it gives you a memorable taste with great crema.

- Simple Nespresso mini coffee makers (without milk tank)
- Nespresso Latissima coffee makers (with milk tank)
- Capsule coffee makers with a steam nozzle or steam steamer to prepare milk foam
Simple Nespresso mini coffee makers
The simplest type of Nespresso coffee maker is included in this category and it only prepares 2 types of drinks that can be served, namely espresso and longo, and it does not have a cappuccino or milk foam system. Such as Nespresso Esenza Mini, PixiCrops, Anisia DeLonghi and…
Nespresso Latissima series coffee makers
This series of Nespresso machines has a milk tank for preparing automatic milk foam, which prepares and serves the desired drink after a few seconds by touching a button. Such as Nespresso Gran Lattissima DeLonghi, Lattissima Van DeLonghi, Lattissima Touch and Lattissima Pro DeLonghi.
Nespresso coffee makers with steam steamer
This type of Nespresso coffee maker has a nozzle or steam steamer to prepare milk foam manually, and you can make all kinds of latte art with this group of devices. Such as Critista Plus and Critista Pro by Sage and Nespresso.
But espresso machines are in 3 different groups:
- Espresso machines with nozzle or steam steamer and pertafilter – without coffee grinder (normal)
- Espresso machines with milk tank and prefilter – without coffee grinder (semi-automatic)
- Espresso machines with milk tank without prefilter – with coffee grinder (fully automatic)
first group:
Espresso machines of the first group are usually the most popular espresso machines in the world, which have many fans. Baristas and coffee shops usually use this group of espresso machines. Because they believe that devices with automatic milk tank will never give us the desired quality of milk foam that can be obtained from steam steamer or steam nozzle. And it really is.
The second group:
This category of coffee makers does not have a steam nozzle and instead a tank or container of milk is placed next to the machine, the process of making milk foam is done completely automatically and it is poured into the glass through the output nozzle. Like the DeLonghi EC850.M espresso machine
The third group:
This category of coffee makers is very popular due to having an automatic coffee grinder. Because the process of grinding coffee beans, tamping, and preparing milk foam is completely automatic, and the user has no interference in it. In short, in this group of espresso machines, press the button and wait for a few seconds! Now get your drink with freshly ground coffee!

Nespresso coffee capsules are a bit expensive compared to the coffee powders in the market and may not be very economical.

There are not a few people whose greatest passion, like a barista in Italian cafes and Roman nights, is to take a milk foam with an excellent velvety texture from the steam nozzle of their espresso machine and treat themselves and their guests with a unique latte art and become a complete artist and barista. become precious. All this is only possible with normal espresso machines!
And vice versa. There are many people who have tasted the quality of Nestlé Nespresso coffee capsules and are not willing to go for powdered and bulk coffee again at any price. Each of these devices has its own supporters, and its own arguments, all of which can be true.
