Nothing says quiet luxury like a stainless steel coffee maker, but if you've not got the time grind your beans, brew your espresso, and hand-steam your milk each morning, you may feel limited when it comes to choosing the best coffee maker for your home.
While, admittedly, it's quite the niche, the Nespresso Vertuo Creatista plugs that gap between an entry-level Keurig and something a lot more luxurious but time-consuming. I've got my gripes about the concept of capsule coffee. It's not the most cost-efficient way of brewing, and while Nespresso does offer a recycling program, it's still more wasteful than simply using ground coffee. Mainly though, my issue with capsule coffee is that it simply doesn't compete with the quality espresso I can make with my fully automatic machine, and as a coffee lover, that's hard to overcome.
