All-In-One Versatile Coffee Machine

A cup of your favorite coffee is a great way to start the day. But coffee lovers need to be able to top up throughout the day. Buying coffee every single time might not be a very practical thing, especially in financial terms, coffee can be really expensive over time. Instead of getting drinks at your favorite café, you might want to buy your own coffee machine and then you can enjoy as much coffee as you want at a fraction of the price. Enter the Nespresso VertuoLine Evoluo.

Design

In this day and age, having a modern look coffee maker is as important as the coffee it produces. It is the first thing that you notice and grabs your attention. With that in mind, it is fair to say that the Nespresso Evoluo has a rather nice looking design when you compare it to most single-serve coffee machines in the market.

Although it is mostly made of plastic, it is of good quality and feels durable. We felt that having such shiny finish on plastic it might get easily scratched, but as a whole, it is a hard-wearing coffee maker that, with minimum maintenance, can/ will last for some time. With all in mind, it has a stylish design, and the fact that comes in different colors to choose from adds to its wide-range appeal.

Features

Centrifusion Brewing

One of the great features of Nespresso Evoluo is its centrifusion brewing method. Unlike other pod-based coffee makers that force the hot water under pressure to create coffee, this one spins the pod at a speed of 7,000 rotations per minute with water flowing through it. This innovative process creates a strong brewed coffee with cream on top.

Each coffee capsule has their own barcode on its rim and the Nespresso Evoluo is able to read that bar code as it starts spinning. Now the machine automatically calibrates the parameters for that particular blend of the coffee capsule. It is really cool that the machine can read of that information by the time the water comes in contact with the coffee. The machine will brew each capsule to the right temperature and consistency for the best possible coffee experience. However, if you are planning to make anything else other than espresso coffee, like latte or cappuccino, you should pick another Nespresso coffee machine for a thicker foam.

Cup Sizes

The Nespresso VertuoLine Evoluo has an adjustable drip tray to fit any kind of mug you want. It also has three different heights to avoid small but nagging issues such as splashing or dripping after you are done making a coffee. This is really nice feature as not many coffee machine manufacturers allow for this. They have a fixed height and we really appreciated having this so we could easily adjust the tray based on the coffee mug size. High-five to that.

Water Tank

Nespresso Evoluo’s water tank has a generous size, holding up to 54 oz. (1.5L) of water. It is more than enough to make coffee for several days although you might want to change the water every few days to keep it fresh. The only issue we found is that the rigid design makes it hard to actually see the water level so we found ourselves lifting the lid and checking more often than we wished. This might be not an issue for most but for some, it will be a little annoying.

Operation

Putting the coffee pods inside the machine is the same way as with any other Nespresso coffee machine. Open up the machine, put the coffee capsule in, and twist the top switch until the two markers align. All you have to do is to place the cup or glass under the drip tray and wait for your coffee to be done. It really is a single button operation.

After brewing, the machine automatically disposes of the used pot into the container located at the back of the machine. It can accommodate up to 20 used capsules that you can easily detach once full. This will help you easily keep the machine clean and ready for the next coffee.

Maintenance

Rinsing the water tank and wiping the machine after every use is essential to maintain its cleanliness. However, you need to descale the Nespresso Evoluo coffee machine every once in a while to remove limescale build-ups that occurred due to the reaction of minerals and hot water from the tap. Descaling the machine ensures that taste and flavor of the coffee won’t be affected and at the same time you extend the life of your coffee machine.

Usually, descaling takes place after 3 to 4 months of usage but that is entirely dependant on how often you use the machine. But what is really cool about the Nespresso VertuoLine Evoluo is that you don’t need to work out when it is due for descaling, the machine has its own descaling alert system. When it is time to descale, the power button blinks 3 times then becomes steady. After this, you cannot operate the machine unless the descaling process is done. It is a super helpful feature.

Steps in Descaling

1. Press the power button and wait for the light to be steady.
2. Open the machine head to take used capsule, then close it but leave the lever unlocked.
3. Fill the water reservoir with 0.8 liters of water and 1 unit of descaling liquid, then push the power button for about 7 seconds until it starts blinking.
4. Place a container filled with a minimum volume of 17 oz. of water under the coffee outlet.
5. Then turn the lever left to lock the machine, then right to unlock, and press the power button again for at least 7 seconds.
6. Start the descaling process by locking the lever and pushing the power button. It will automatically stop once done.
7. Rinse the water reservoir along with the cup support thoroughly.
8. Then fill up the water tank with water and press the power button to start rinsing the machine.
9. The machine will stop automatically or you can push the button to stop it anytime.
10. To stop descaling, press the power button for about 7 seconds until the blinking stops. Let the machine to dry fully before using it.

Conclusion

The Nespresso VertuoLine Evoluo is the most versatile all-in-one coffee maker in today’s market. The coffee is good, with an easy-to-use interface and built-in maintenance alert. It has everything you need to get your coffee done quickly and tasting always the way you like it. And with amazing features such as centrifusion brewing, capsule-scanning, and the availability to easily fit different cup sizes, it is hard not to recommend it.

If you are up for experimenting with drinks, being a bit more creative, mix things up with milk, etc, well, this coffee machine is definitely not for you. You might want to choose the Nespreso Creatista Plus as it will give you more options or check out other Nespresso coffee machines. You could always go for full grinding coffee machines, which will definitely give you pro-like features. We believe the people who would love this machine the most would be anyone who loves to enjoy a good cup of espresso. All in all, it is a great coffee maker that comes at a very reasonable price.
