Summary

Selection and purchase points of capsule Coffee Machine

Although the capsule coffee machine is very convenient to use, there is still a lot of knowledge before buying. Let's check whether it is a suitable coffee machine from the three points of 'capsule', 'cost' and 'capacity'.

Choose the coffee maker according to the taste of the capsule you want to drink.

Usually, the brewing capsules used in capsule coffee machines are not compatible with coffee machines of different brands, and coffee machines launched by major manufacturers can only use their own capsules to brew. Therefore, please choose the coffee machine suitable for the capsule according to your own drinking preference.

Let's pick out three kinds of common drinking preferences and list the coffee machines that match this item. And then the popularity ranking will also recommend more coffee machines for your reference!

The best choice for espresso, Nespresso

Nestl é's Nespresso series of coffee, as its name suggests, can taste the most mellow espresso. The series of coffee capsules are divided into six categories and a total of 23 flavors are available. Because it subdivides the thickness and flavor of coffee so accurately, even people who are not familiar with coffee can find their favorite flavor.

Nespresso has high extraction pressure and can produce dense coffee fat (crema) through high pressure and high temperature for a short time, which is most suitable for brewing espresso with thick flavor. But some of the Nespresso models don't have a milk system (you can't add milk), so you can't brew lattes, but this kind of machine is cheaper.

If you like latte, choose Dolce Gusto.

Dolce Gusto, which is also owned by Nestl é, is more suitable for brewing cappuccino, latte and other 'milk coffee', so in addition to basic brewing options such as cappuccino and caramel macchiato, Dolce Gusto offers more choices such as soy milk latte, matcha latte, cocoa and so on. If Nespresso is a professional espresso store, then Dolce Gusto is a casual afternoon tea coffee shop.

However, compared with the extraction pressure of Nespresso, the extraction pressure of Dolce Gusto is not so large, so the coffee fat layer and foam are relatively less. However, in fact, the difference is very small, and people who do not pay much attention to it will not notice it. If the type of coffee you want is Dolce Gusto, this will not be a problem for you.

Prefer tea to coffee, choose DRIP POD

As the name implies, UCC's DRIP POD is a dripping capsule coffee machine that can adjust the thickness of coffee and is especially suitable for friends who don't like bitter coffee or espresso. And because of this characteristic, it is perfect to make tea drinks such as black tea, green tea and so on.

Because it does not use pressure extraction, it does not produce strong coffee fat, so it is certainly not suitable for brewing lattes. If you want to drink a bubbly latte, it won't be a good choice for you.

Calculate the cost of drinking!

Because the capsule coffee machine uses capsules to make coffee, and a capsule is the amount of a cup of coffee. Therefore, the brewing cost of each cup of coffee depends on the price of a capsule, which varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.

If you take the coffee capsules of the above three brands as an example, the cheapest is that the cost of a cup of Dolce Gusto is about NT $14, followed by UCC's DRIP POD of about NT $19, and the most extravagant is that Nespresso costs about NT $22 per cup.

But some coffee capsules can also be used to brew lattes in addition to concentrated and American coffee. A cappuccino or latte has to calculate the cost of milk. Therefore, can not be such a simple price comparison, need to consider their own brewing habits.

Estimate the number of brewing cups to select the capacity of the coffee machine

Usually using a capsule coffee machine at home will probably only brew 2-3 cups of drinks, or at most 5-6 cups. According to this capacity demand, the general capsule coffee machine is sufficient to cope with. However, if you go beyond this brewing range, such as using a 500ml-capacity coffee maker to brew ten cups of coffee, you may need to brew it twice.

In addition, although the extraction speed of the capsule coffee machine is very fast, it needs to go through the steps of water injection, preheating and extraction to complete a brewing, which will take more time than expected.

If it is for domestic use, the need to brew a large number of cups at a time is not common, and we can put up with this small inconvenience. But if it is used in workplaces such as offices, it will be a big problem, so it is recommended that it is better to buy coffee with 1500ml capacity.
