The Best Coffee Pod Machine

This sleek, brushed-steel appliance provides the Sage distinctive quality and user-friendly. It preheats after switch-on, and brews an aroma-packed espresso or slightly longer lungo in just 30 minutes.

The pod models are an excellent alternative to bean-to-cup machines. They take the messiest parts of coffee making off your hands, such as grinding and measuring grounds.

1. Speedy

Pod machines can be installed and used more quickly than espresso machines. Most of them can make a cup in just 30 seconds. But they come at an expense in that the pre-portioned coffee pods used in these models are generally more expensive than freshly roasted beans. And they are not recycled. (though some companies now offer free recycling bags and pre-paid UPS labels to return the pods).

The Nespresso CitiZ has one of the fastest pod machines available due to the barcode scanner which scans each compatible pod's code before brewing. This makes it easy to make consistent, high-quality coffee every time, and there is virtually no chances of a drink turning out badly wrong. It is also among the tiniest and lightest on the market, with no need for a separate milk jug and a small footprint making it easy to fit into even the tiniest kitchen.

The CitiZ isn't the most efficient machine to minimize your environmental impact. It doesn't have an automatic descaling function and you'll need to clean it yourself every 300 cups if reside in hard water areas or 1200 cups in soft water areas. When the filter cartridge wears out, you'll have to replace it with a fresh one. This could be expensive for some users.

The Tassimo Vivy 2 is another speedy machine with customisable buttons and the option of using ground coffee or ESE pods, which are pre-dosed, tampered and compressed between filter paper. This model is B-Corp Certified. It is committed to lessening the negative impact it has on its environment and workforce. The only downside is the time it takes to heat up. Once it is heated it, it can make one cup in just 35 seconds.

If you're after a sleek, stylish machine that can handle a variety of different drink sizes and styles then look no further than the Vertuo Creatista from Nespresso. This glossy beauty, made in collaboration with Sage, is not only easy to use and quick to start, but also comes with an ice-cream frothing wand, as well as a stainless steel Jug.

2. Removable parts

A pod coffee maker's user-friendliness is a major selling point, and the best models are easy to operate. Most machines rely on the same general process to make your coffee: water is heated in an internal reservoir, then pressured through the capsules you choose and extracted to produce rich hot coffee. Many brands offer a variety of sizes of drinks for different needs. You can also save your own settings to make the process more efficient.

Keurig K-Cups are among the top brands available on the market. However, Nestle Nespresso VertuoLine capsules also offer a large selection of capsules from well-known roasters. Some pods are designed to be used only once before being get thrown away, whereas others are designed to be used for a variety of purposes. Whatever the case, you'll need to plan ahead for the way you'll dispose of the pods you've used up so that they don't end up in landfill.

The sleek SMEG model we tested features a water tank that is removable and easy to fill and the machine will automatically pour a fresh capsule once the previous one has been cooled. It can brew coffee and lungo drinks and comes with a set of eight different blends to provide you with a wide selection. This brewer is ideal for coffee drinkers who wish to switch to drip coffee.

In our tests in our tests, the Tassimo My Way 2 proved to be the most enjoyable one to use. Its sleek design looks great on your counter, and it opens with just a touch to reveal the compartment that stores empty pods. It has an integrated water filter that is perfect for areas with hard water.

This machine is quick and brews standard coffee (240ml) as well as ristretto and lungo espresso drinks. The controls are simple to use, with the style of airplane toggles that can be retracted easily and a lever which retracts to reveal the hole to place into the pod. It does take a little effort to close, but our testers, even those who have weak hand and mobility felt comfortable.

3. Size

The best coffee pod machines take the mess of coffee making out of your hands - you simply load in a pod, hit the button, and then make coffee. You will still need to clean the machine from time to time however not as often as you would with a bean-to-cup cup or espresso maker. Pod machines are smaller than their bigger counterparts and can be stacked on the counter when not being used.

Whether a coffee pod machine is the right option for you is based on your preferences and what you're looking to get out of it. All pod machines are simple to operate, however, some provide more options for customization. The variety of pods, brew size options and milk frothing capabilities should all be considered to find the ideal coffee pod machine.

The most popular pod-based machines are Nespresso, Keurig and similar brands. However, there are some newer competitors that may be worth taking a look at. One is Bruvi, which uses an exclusive pod system called B-Pods that can only be used with its machines. The pods are marked with a barcode, which is read by the machine to adjust the brewing settings automatically.

The machine will eliminate all the guesswork out of it and ensure that every drink is perfect every time. It is even able to save custom drinks to a specific button to allow you to create them at the push of a button.

Other machines, like Sage's My Way, offer more granular control over your coffee than others, letting you choose the exact size and temperature for each drink. It's more expensive than many other models, but it comes with the polished stainless steel design and top-quality customer service that's associated with the brand. It is a good option for those looking to get an extra level of quality from their pod-based coffee maker.

While the majority of people will be using a pod-based machine to make single-serve beverages, there are some larger models that can brew longer shots, known as lungos. The Lavazza A Modo Mio Smeg is an excellent example of this. It blends the retro-fifties style of SMEG with the retro-fifties design of SMEG Italian coffee brand, Lavazza. It's difficult to use due to its airplane-style toggles as well as the manual lever, but it's quick and incredibly enjoyable to use the lungo is made in less than 30 seconds and the used pods are put into an internal bin with the click of the button.

4. Customization

One reason a pod coffee maker may not be right for you is the limited customization. If you don't have an alternative milk frother then the only way to add flavor or creaminess is to make use of hot tea or chocolate option in your mug or to manually add milk to coffee. This shouldn't be a problem for most people, but could be an issue for those who like an entirely automated experience in the morning.

Bosch's Intellibrew uses a barcode scanner to scan each capsule. It then automatically pre-wettes and infuses the correct amount of coffee for the particular kind of pod. It's a hands-free, easy-to-use machine that does the job flawlessly, but does not have any options for customised drinks or for varying the strength of the brew. This will irritate some buyers however for others, the easy automation and range of cup lengths (espresso lungo, espresso and mug) it gives exactly what they need.

The coffee maker is extremely low maintenance. It is all you need to do is to refill the water tank and decaffeinate it every time. It can dispense short espresso shots and tall travel mugs easily and, as we mentioned, used pods are ejected into a hidden receptacle that helps keep your kitchen clean. It also excels in delivering full-bodied coffees that have a crema-topped top.

This machine is part of Smeg's 1950s-style collection. It's user-friendly with a simple interface and can take ground coffee or ESE pods. The only issue is that it lacks an indicator to let you know when it's time for descale. Also, the maximum water level can't be set, which is a minor issue. It is also necessary to purchase the brand's own capsules which can be costly. But, it's an excellent pod coffee maker for those looking for an attractive and convenient appliance that will provide them with quality coffee at an affordable price. For those who want some variety, a wide range of third-party capsules is offered for this model and it's also compatible with the Nespresso Vertuo line.
