If you’re working from home, you’re probably making your coffee at home too - but what machine delivers the best brew? (Via IrishTimesHome )
15cm wide by 43cm deep by 31cm high There are three machines – the Next, Pop and Plus – in the Vertuo range. These take large, hemispherical pods; at 5.5cm in diameter, they resemble Choc Mallows with an iridescent coating, and the sample box looks like an oversized eyeshadow palette.
After the straightforward set up, the pods go in the top and you push down a soft-close lever; the machine rotates and punctures the pod, reading the barcode on the lip so it knows whether you’re making a short shot or a tall cup. You can adjust the height of the sturdy honeycombed steel drip tray, and the empty-pod collector has good capacity. The outward curve of the machine looks very nice, but gave me drip anxiety; I’d prefer a concave front for the cup to sit into.
Organic and ethical brands of beans and ground coffee are widely available, and while cafetieres and stove-top pots like the Bialetti use a fair amount of coffee but have no disposable or single-use parts; for percolators, unbleached paper filters are compostable, and some take reusable filters. All the machines I tested can fit KeepCups under the spout, so I have started to bring extra-hot home-made coffees out with me and stopped impulse-buying flat whites in disposable cups.
