The Best Coffee Pod Machine

The sleekest pod machine we've seen, this model with brushed-steel features the trademark Sage quality and ease of use. After turning on, it heats up and brews a fragrant espresso or slightly longer lungo within 30 minutes.

Models for pods are an excellent alternative to bean-to-cup machines. They take the messiest components of making coffee off your hands, such as grinding and measuring grounds.

1. Fast

Pod machines can be installed and used more quickly than espresso machines. The majority of them can make a cup in 30 minutes. The pre-portioned pods that are used in these machines tend to be more expensive than freshly roasted coffee beans and many are not recyclable.

The Nespresso CitiZ is one of the most efficient pod machines available that you can find, thanks to its in-built barcode reader that scans code of each compatible pod prior to brewing it. This ensures that you get consistently top-quality coffee every time. There is virtually no chance of having a bad beverage. It's also among the slimmest and lightest available, with no need for an additional milk jug or a small footprint making it easy to fit into even the smallest of kitchens.

The CitiZ is not the best device to reduce your environmental impact. It doesn't have an automatic descaling function and you'll need to clean it yourself every 300 cups if live in hard water or 1200 cups in soft water zones. It is also necessary to put in a new filter cartridge after this expires and can be expensive for some users.

Tassimo Vivy 2 is a quick machine with customizable buttons. It can be used with ground coffee or ESE pods, which are pre-dosed and tampered grounds that are compressed between filter paper. This model is B-Corp Certified. It is committed to reducing the negative impact it has on its environment and its employees. Its only slight drawback is that it takes longer to heat up, but once that occurs, it can make a cup in around 35 seconds.

If you're after an elegant, stylish machine capable of handling a range of different sizes and styles then look no further than the Vertuo Creatista from Nespresso. This sleek machine, designed in collaboration with Sage is not only easy to use but also comes with an ice cream wand stainless steel jug and milk frother.

2. Removable parts

The simplicity of a pod coffee maker is a major advantage. The top models are simple to use. Most machines rely on the same general mechanism to brew your cup by heating water inside a reservoir, and then pushed through the capsules you choose and extracted to produce rich hot coffee. Most brands offer a range of sizes of drinks to meet different requirements, and you can save custom settings on many models to simplify the process even more.

Keurig K-Cups are among the top player on the market. However, Nestle Nespresso VertuoLine capsules also offer a large selection of capsules from well-known roasters. Some pods are able to be used only once before they are discarded, while others can be used multiple times. In either case, you'll have to think about how you'll deal with the pods that are no longer being used so they do not end up in the garbage.

The SMEG we tested has a reservoir of water that is simple to fill. It also automatically dispensates an additional capsule once the previous one cools down. It can make espresso and lungo drinks, and has eight different blends for the variety. This brewer is perfect for coffee drinkers who wish to make the switch from 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 can be opened in a matter of seconds to reveal the compartment that holds your empty pods. It has an integrated water filter which is perfect for areas with hard water.

This machine brews an ordinary cup of coffee (240ml) and also serves as ristretto and lungo espresso-style drinks and is extremely fast. Its easy-to-use controls are easy to use, thanks to switches that resemble airplanes and a lever that retracts with a minimum of effort to reveal the opening that allows you to insert your pod. It does take a little effort to close, but our testers, even those who have limitations in hand strength and mobility felt comfortable.

3. Size

The best coffee pod machines remove all the messes of making coffee capsule machine out of your hands - you simply load in the pod, press the button, and then prepare to brew. You'll still have to clean your machine from time to time but not like a bean-to-cup or espresso maker. Pod machines are also smaller than their larger counterparts and can be tucked away on the countertop and be kept out of sight when not being used.

The decision of whether a coffee machine is the right choice for you is based on your preferences and what you're hoping to gain from it. The majority of pod machines are easy to use, however certain models offer more customization options than others. Consider the coffee pod variety as well as brew sizes, milk and frothing options when choosing the best machine.

The most popular pod-based coffee machines are Nespresso, Keurig and similar brands. However there are a few more recent competitors that are worth taking a look at. Bruvi uses a bespoke system of pods known as B-Pods that can only be used in its machines. The pods are identified with a barcode that is scanned by the machine to adjust the brewing parameters automatically.

This approach means the machine eliminates all the guesswork of brewing a cup and guarantees that every drink comes out perfectly every time. It can save your customised drinks on a button to allow you to make them by pressing a single button.

Other machines, such as Sage's My Way offer a more granular level of control over your coffee and allows you to select a specific temperature and size for each drink. It's more expensive than other models, but it comes with a polished stainless-steel build and excellent customer support synonymous with Sage's My Way. This is a great choice for those looking for a bit more out of their espresso maker that is based on pods.

While the majority of people will use the pod-based machine to create single-serve beverages however, there are a few larger models that can also make longer shots, referred to as lungos. The Lavazza A Modo Mio Smeg is a great example of this and blends the retro-fifties style of SMEG with the retro-fifties design of SMEG Italian coffee brand, Lavazza. It's not easy at first thanks to the toggles that look like airplanes, but once you've gotten used to it, it is easy and enjoyable to use. A lungo can be prepared in just 30 minutes.

4. Customization

The lack of customisation is a major reason it might not be the right choice for you. Unless you purchase an auxiliary milk frother, the only methods to add flavor or creaminess is to make use of an in-mug hot chocolate or tea option and to add milk to your coffee machines capsules manually. This shouldn't be a problem for a lot of people, but it could be an issue for those who prefer an entirely automated experience in the morning.

Bosch's Intellibrew technology makes use of barcode scanners to scan each capsule, and automatically pre-wet, infuse and dispense the correct volume of coffee machine and pods for that particular kind of pod. It's a simple, hands-off machine that performs its job well, but it doesn't have any options for customizing drinks or altering the strength of the brew. This might be frustrating for some customers but for others the hassle-free automation and range of cup lengths (espresso, lungo and mug) it provides precisely what they require.

This coffee machine and pods maker is very low maintenance. It's all you have to do is to refill the water tank, and decaffeinate the reservoir each and every time. It can dispense short espresso shots and tall travel mugs easily and, as mentioned, used pods are ejected into a hidden receptacle which keeps your kitchen spotless. It also does an excellent job of serving full-bodied, crema-topped espressos.

This machine is part of Smeg's 1950s-style collection. It's user-friendly with a simple interface and can accommodate ground coffee or ESE pods. The only downside is that it lacks an indicator to let you know when it's time for descale. Also, the maximum water level cannot be set which is an issue. You'll also need to purchase the brand's capsules which can be costly. But, it's a good pod coffee maker for those looking for an attractive and practical appliance that can provide them with a great service at an affordable cost. For those who want more variety, a broad selection of third-party capsules are available for this model, and it's compatible with the Nespresso Vertuo line.
