I own a Miele B2C machine, plus a classic Nespresso. The latter operates at 19 bar pressure (similar to a B2C machine). The Nespresso Vertuo doesn’t utilise pressure to produce its Coffee, using centrifugal force instead - alongside reading a barcode on the capsule - when producing a cup/mug of Coffee.

Besides ‘classic’ and Vertuo machines, there is also Nespresso Pro - that also operates at 19 bar pressure - but uses an entirely different capsule. Meant for offices with high volume drinks production, there’s nothing to stop the humble home-owner from buying a Nespresso Pro.

Currently, in the UK, you can get 50% off the price of a Nespresso Zenius Pro machine, by applying the voucher code - ZENIUS22BC-50 - at the online checkout.

You don’t have to order 150 capsules to get the same discount if using the above code.

Although I would buy one for myself, ‘senior management’ has informed me that I’m not permitted buy a third Coffee machine.
