The Best Pod Coffee Machines With pod coffee machines, you put a sealed capsule with roasted or ground beans into the machine. The coffee is then poured through for a predetermined amount of time to make your drink. Certain pod coffee machines come with different sizes of cups and the ability to froth milk. Selecting the right pod coffee maker depends on your personal preferences and lifestyle. 1. Keurig K-Select If you're looking for a basic Keurig coffee maker without all the bells and whistles that come with more expensive models, this one is a good choice. It's simple to use and has a great appearance. When not in use, it can be easily hidden away in the kitchen. One downside to this machine is that it may be noisy, but it isn't an issue. It is also fairly compact and can be tucked away in tiny counter spaces. If you're looking for a Keurig with a wider range of sizes, or a carafe to drip-brew your coffee, you may be interested in other alternatives. Keurig K-Select is a single-serve coffee maker that blends a sleek design with more user-friendly features. This lets you make the perfect cup coffee every time. Choose from hundreds of delicious K-Cup pods, or brew your own ground coffee with My-K-Cup's universal, coffee filter that can be reused (sold separately). Strong Brew increases the intensity and the strength of your coffee, making it a perfect option for coffee lovers who enjoy a strong cup. The brewer has simple controls using buttons. Insert a K-Cup and select your preferred size of brew and press the brew button. In less than a minute you'll have a fresh-tasting cup of coffee ready for you to enjoy. The large 52-ounce reservoir allows you to brew up to five cups between refills, easing your morning routine. The Keurig is simple to clean, thanks to a removable water reservoir and lid which can be easily washed. But, you must descale your Keurig before cleaning it, and follow the guidelines in the user manual to ensure that your machine is performing optimally. This warranty covers all accessories and the brewer, excluding for normal wear misuse, abuse and other external causes such as power outages. 2. Tassimo My Way This is the best option for coffee lovers looking for a machine that can do more than just making your regular cup. It's designed to make a wide range of drinks like tea and hot chocolate and comes with a huge 1.3 millilitre water tank that allows you to brew multiple cups at the same time. The machine can be heated up in three minutes, and comes with a built-in milk container that allows you to make latte or a cappuccino. It also features a touch-sensitive display that allows you to set the temperature, intensity, and quantity of your preferred drink. The Tassimo My Way uses the brand's T Discs which include everything you require for your desired drink. There are over 70 different kinds that include Kenco, Costa, Milka, and Cadbury's. The machine also offers T discs for tea and hot chocolate as well. We discovered the coffee it produced to be of excellent quality, though slightly less than that of some of the other pod machines we have reviewed in this round-up. It also steamed the milk to make a caffe latte fairly quickly and produced a creamy mouthfeel without being overly thick. However, it should be noted that the frothy milk made from T Discs has sugar, which, while not a huge problem in itself but isn't for everyone's taste. The Tassimo My Way is easy to clean, with the drip tray, the removable parts of the brewing unit as well as the water tank being dishwasher-safe. A Brita filter is included, as well as cleaning disk. A useful indicator light informs you when it's time to descale and a water reservoir keeps limescale to the minimum. The machine is classified as Energy Star, which helps reduce its electricity consumption by up to 15%.. 3. Lavazza Lungo Pod Machine This Nespresso-compatible pod coffee machine from Lavazza, made in collaboration with Sage is among the most beautiful machines available. The machine is constructed of tough and attractive materials. It has a sleek steam wand that can be adjusted to make cappuccinos and lattes, as well as a stainless-steel milk jug. The machine will brew espresso lungos, double espressos, mugs, gran lungos and altos, all with a thick layer foam. Like most pod machines, you load a pod using an opening on the top of the machine, and then drop it into the. The machine punctures the capsule and then closes it. When you pull the lever, the pod will fall into a specially spent Pod tray underneath the drip tray. It's not the fastest machine to brew espresso, it takes 30 seconds for one shot and 90 seconds for the lungo. But the results are always spectacular with a smooth, rich flavor and a great crema. The machine will also notify you when the water tank or pod bin needs refilling. A big selling point for this machine is that you can use it with any Lavazza-branded pod Seven pods are available in all, including espresso ground (Qualita Rossa, Intenso, Passionale and Delizioso), two decaffeinated (Dek Cremoso) and two organic coffees (!Tierra! Bio). The pod coffee maker isn't cheap but if you combine it with pod delivery services it can cost similar to the regular bean-to-cup machine. The machine's slim design means it can be easily incorporated into even the smallest kitchens, while the pods are compostable, which means you can place them in your council food waste bins, or even your own garden compost. 4. Nespresso Vertuo Pod Machine Nespresso machines are among the top pods coffee makers for those looking for a reliable, quick and consistently brewed cup. They heat quickly and are extremely simple to use. Simply insert a capsule, press a button and you're done. They also produce a rich crema that can be added to your drinks for added flavour and thickness. The official pods aren't inexpensive and you'll have to buy them. The Vertuo line is based on different technology than OriginalLine machines that work with espresso capsules (and are still in existence). The Vertuo line scans the barcode of each capsule and adjusts the brewing parameters to create an ideal cup. And they have a centrifusion system that spins the capsule to get the most flavorful and thickest crema. The machines aren't as intuitive as our other choices. The lid is only opened when the machine is in its final stages and it takes about 30 seconds for the capsule to get hot. They don't include an milk frother, like some of the other pod coffee makers on this list, so you'll have to shell out an additional PS90 or so to purchase an extra Aeroccino for those who want to make lattes or cappuccinos. They also require more regular maintenance than other models, such as refilling the water tank, emptying used pod containers, and descaling. However, they do come with an app that reminds you of these tasks and includes tools such as store locators and capsule recycling. If you connect your machine with an IntelliPort you can control it via voice commands. This is great when you're making coffee at 4am in the dark or have limited power. 5. SMEG Barista Pod Machine This sleek pod coffee maker is the lovechild of a beloved Italian brand and a renowned kitchen appliance company. It features the modern, sleek curves SMEG are known for, and can brew both espresso and lungo drinks. It comes with a programmable setting for the shot, dual-height drip tray, and a removable pod bin. This coffee maker lets you make one or two cups of lungo or espresso in the morning or during breaks at work. Its simple control panel is elegant and doesn't hinder its functionality. It comes with three baskets that can be swapped for different types of capsules. You can also make use of loose ground beans (although you'll need to own an additional grinder). The SMEG Barista Pod Machine does not come with a pitcher for milk. However, it does have a Pannarello built-in milk frother which can froth cow and soymilk efficiently. It also comes with a portafilter that measures 51mm, which is smaller than the conventional commercial filter. It's pressurized, which means that you won't have the stale, leftover taste. It also includes a plastic tool that doubles as scoop. The SMEG is the most expensive machine on our list. However, it's well worth it if you're retro or you love making espresso drinks quickly. This is a great choice for those who are new to making coffee and don't want to tackle the hassle of measuring, grinding, and tamping beans yourself.
