The Best Pod Coffee Machines With pod coffee makers, you just insert a sealed capsule filled with roasted or ground beans into the machine. The coffee then flows through for a predetermined time period to create your beverage. Some pod coffee makers have different sizes of cups and a built-in filter and milk that froths. Selecting the right pod coffee machine for you is dependent on your individual preferences and lifestyle. 1. Keurig K-Select If you're looking to buy a basic Keurig coffee maker without the bells and whistles that come with more expensive models, this machine is a good choice. It's simple to use, has a beautiful design and can be hidden away in an area of the kitchen when not in use. One downside to this machine is that it can be a bit noisy, but this isn't an issue. It's also small enough to be able to fit on a small counter. However, if you want a Keurig that offers a wider range of sizes or a carafe for traditional drip brewing, you should think about other options. Keurig K'Select is a single-serve coffee maker that combines a sleek style with more intuitive features. This allows you to make the perfect cup of coffee every time. Choose from hundreds delicious K-Cups, or brew your coffee using a My-K-Cup universal coffee filter (sold separately).

The machine is simple to clean, with the ability to remove the reservoir of water and lid that can be easily washed. However, it is recommended to remove the scale from your Keurig before cleaning it, and follow the guidelines in the user manual to ensure that the machine is working at its best. This warranty covers all original accessories and the brewer, with the exception of for normal wear or abuse and other external causes like power outages. 2. Tassimo My Way If you're a coffee enthusiast and are looking for an espresso machine capable of making more than just your daily cup of coffee, this is the best option. It's designed to create a wide variety of drinks including hot chocolate and tea, 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 just three seconds, and also has a built-in milk container that allows you to make latte and cappuccino. It also has a touch-sensitive LCD that lets you set the intensity, temperature and quantity of your desired drink. pod and capsule coffee machines uses the brand's T Discs which include everything you need to make your preferred drink. There are more than 70 flavors to select from, from brands like Kenco and Costa to Costa, Milka and Cadbury's. The machine also provides T discs for hot chocolate and tea as well. The coffee made by this machine was of high quality, though it was a bit lower than other machines we have reviewed. It also produced a silky mouthfeel and steaming milk to make caffe lattes quickly. However, it is to be noted that the frothy milk made from T Discs contains sugar which is, although not a major issue in itself but isn't for everyone's taste. Tassimo My Way's removable parts such as the drip tray and the water tank are dishwasher-safe. A Brita filter is included, as is an ice-cleaning disk. A helpful indicator light will let you know when it's time to clean and a reservoir of water keeps the limescale at the minimum. The machine is Energy Star rated, which reduces the amount of electricity it uses by up to 15%. 3. Lavazza Lungo Pod Machine This Nespresso pod coffee machine was designed in collaboration with Sage by Lavazza is among the most attractive machines available. It is constructed of sturdy and attractive materials. It has a sleek steam wand that can be adjusted to make cappuccinos or lattes, as well as a stainless-steel milk jug. Put a pod in and choose the cup size and the machine whirs into action, brewing espresso lungo, double espresso, gran lungo, alto and mug drinks with a thick layer of silky foam. As with most pod machines you load the pod via an opening on top and drop it in place. The machine punctures the capsule, then seals it. When you press the lever the used pod will fall into a dedicated spent pod tray beneath the drip tray. It's not the fastest way to make espresso. It takes about 30 seconds for a single 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 it's time to refill the tank of water or the pod bin. The main selling point of this machine is the ability to use it with any Lavazza brand pod – there are seven in all, including espresso ground (Qualita Rossa, Intenso, Passionale and Delizioso) and two decaffeinated (Dek Cremoso) and two organic coffees (!Tierra! Bio). The pod coffee machine isn't expensive, but if you pair it with a pod delivery subscription the cost could be similar to the regular bean-to-cup machine. Its slimline design allows it to be easily incorporated into even the smallest kitchens, while the pods are compostable so you can pop them into your local food waste bins, or even your own garden compost. 4. Nespresso Vertuo Pod Machine Nespresso machines are some of the top pod coffee makers for those who are looking for quick steady, reliable, and consistent brew. They are quick to heat up and are extremely simple to use—just put a capsule in, push a button, and you're done. They also create a delicious crema that you can add to your drinks for added flavour and thickness. The official pods are not inexpensive and you'll need to purchase them. The Vertuo line is based on a different technology than OriginalLine machines that use espresso capsules (and are still in existence). The Vertuo line is able to read the barcode of each capsule, and then automatically adjusts the brewing parameters to produce an ideal cup. They also have a centrifusion device which spins the capsules to make the best flavor and the thickest crema. The machines aren't as intuitive as the other options. The lid is only opened when the machine is in its final stages and it takes about 30 seconds for the capsule to warm up. And they don't come with an milk frother, like some of the other pod coffee makers on this list, meaning you'll need to spend an additional PS90 or so to purchase an extra Aeroccino for those who want to make lattes or cappuccinos. These machines also require more maintenance than other models, such as refilling the water tank, emptying pod containers that are used and descaling – however, they come with an app that reminds you to do these tasks and also provides tools like capsule recyclers and store locators. And if you connect your machine to an IntelliPort you can control it with voice commands which is a great touch if you're making coffee in the dark at 4am or have limited hand strength. 5. SMEG Barista Pod Machine This sleek pod coffee machine is the love child of a well-known Italian brand and a renowned kitchen appliance company. It has the modern, sleek curves SMEG are known for, and it can brew both espresso and lungo drinks. It has a programmable setting for the shot, dual-height drip trays, and removable pod bin. This coffee maker lets you make an instant cup of espresso or lungo in the morning or during breaks at work. Its easy-to-use control panel looks sleek and doesn't interfere with its purpose. It has three interchangeable baskets for different types of capsules. You can even use ground beans that are loose (although you'll need an additional grinder). The SMEG Barista Pod Machine does not come with a milk pitcher. However, it does have a Pannarello built-in milk frother which froths cow and soymilk very nicely. It also comes with the portafilter 51mm, which is smaller than a standard commercial-style filter. It's also pressurized which is great because it will not give you the stale, lingering grind taste. It also comes with a tool which doubles as a scoop. The SMEG is among the most expensive pod machines we've reviewed but it's well worth it if you're a lover of the retro look or enjoy being able to make espresso-based drinks. This is a great option if you are new to making coffee and do not want to tackle the difficulty of measuring, grinding and tamping beans by yourself.
