The Best Coffee Pod Machine

The most sleek pod and capsule coffee machines machine we've seen, this model with brushed-steel features the trademark Sage quality and is easy to use. After turning on, it preheats and brews a fragrant espresso or slightly longer lungo in just 30 seconds.

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

1. Rapid

Pod machines can be set up and operated faster than espresso machines. They can typically make a cup in just 30 minutes. The pre-portioned pods that are used in these machines are typically 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 due to its built-in barcode reader that scans code of each compatible pod prior to brewing it. This makes it easy to make consistent quality, high-end coffee each time, with next-to-no chances of a drink turning out badly wrong. The machine is also one of the slimmest and lightest available and does not require a separate milk jug and the smallest footprint, making it easy to fit in even the tiniest kitchen.

The CitiZ is not the best machine to minimize your environmental impact. It doesn't have an automatic descaling feature, and you'll have to clean it yourself every 300 cups if live in hard water or 1200 cups in soft water areas. Once the filter cartridge is out, you'll need to replace it with a new one. This could be expensive for some users.

Tassimo Vivy 2 is a fast machine that can be customized with buttons. It can be used with either ground coffee or ESE pods that are pre-dosed and tampered grounds compressed in between filter paper. This model is B-Corp Certified. It is committed to decreasing the negative impact it has on the surroundings and its workforce. The only drawback is that it takes a little longer to heat up, but once that is done, it will be able to brew the cup in about 35 minutes.

If you're after a sleek, stylish machine that can handle a range of different sizes and styles, take a look at the Vertuo Creatista from Nespresso. This gorgeous, glossy machine, developed in collaboration with Sage it is not only easy to use and quick to start, but also comes with an ice cream frothing wand as well as an stainless steel jug.

2. Removable parts

The simplicity of pod coffee makers is a major benefit. The most effective models are simple to use. The majority of machines use the same general process to make your coffee: water is heated inside a reservoir, and then pushed through your chosen capsules and extracted to create rich hot coffee. Many brands offer a variety of sizes for drinks to meet different requirements, and you can save your own settings for a variety of models to speed up the process even further.

Keurig's K-Cups and Nestle's Nespresso VertuoLine series are the two biggest players in the market, but both offer a variety of capsules from popular roasters and brands. Certain pods can be used once before they are discarded, while others can be used multiple times. You'll need a plan for your old pods to prevent them ending up in landfill.

The SMEG we tested has a reservoir of water that is simple to fill. It also automatically releases an additional capsule once the previous one cools down. It can be used to brew espresso and lungo drinks and has eight different blends for the variety. This brewer is ideal for coffee lovers who want to switch to drip coffee to drip.

In our tests in our tests, the Tassimo My Way 2 proved to be the most enjoyable to use. Its sleek design is beautiful on your counter, and it can be opened with a single touch to reveal the compartment that houses your empty pods. It also comes with the added benefit of the water filtration system which is ideal for areas with hard water.

This machine is able to make the standard cup of coffee (240ml), as well as lungo and ristretto-style espresso drinks and is surprisingly fast. The controls are easy to use, with switches that resemble airplanes, which can be easily retracted and a lever that retracts to reveal the hole to place in your coffee maker. It requires a little force to close, but our testers, including those with limited mobility and hand strength felt comfortable.

3. Size

The best coffee pod machines take all the messy parts of coffee making out of your hands - you simply load in one of the pods, press a button and prepare to brew. It is still necessary to clean the machine from time time however not as often as you would with a bean-to cup or espresso maker. Pod machines are also smaller than their larger counterparts, so they can fit on the counter and be stored out of view when not in use.

The best coffee machine for you will depend on your personal preferences and the goals you'd like to achieve. The majority of pod machines are easy to use, however some offer more customization options. Consider the coffee pod variety as well as brew sizes, milk and options for frothing when selecting the right machine.

The majority of people think of pod-based devices in the likes of Nespresso and Keurig However, there are some newer rivals that are worth a look. One is Bruvi, which uses a bespoke pod system called B-Pods that can only be used by its machines. The pods are identified with a barcode that is scanned by the machine to adjust the brewing settings automatically.

This method removes all the guesswork the process of making a cup, and ensures each drink is made perfectly every time. It is able to save your customized drinks in a single button to allow you to create them with one button.

Other machines, such as Sage's My Way offer a greater degree of control over your coffee and allows you to select the ideal temperature and size for each cup. It's a little more expensive than some models, but it comes with the polished stainless steel build and excellent customer service synonymous with the brand and is a good choice for those who need something more from their pod-based coffee maker.

While most people are using a pod-based machine to make single-serve drinks however, there are a few larger models that can make longer shots, referred to as lungos, also. Lavazza A Modo Mio Smeg, a great example, combines retro-fifties style from SMEG and Italian coffee maker Lavazza. It's difficult to use due to its airplane-style toggles and manual lever, but it's incredibly easy and incredibly satisfying to operate and brews a lungo in only 30 seconds, and the discarded pods are put into an internal bin with the click of the button.

4. Customization

One big reason why pod coffee makers might not be the best choice for you is its lack of flexibility to customize. If you don't have an auxiliary milk frother, then the only option to add flavor or creaminess is to use a hot tea or chocolate option in your mug or to manually add milk to your the coffee. For most people, this won't be a problem, but it could be a sticking point for those who prefer a fully automated experience in the morning.

Bosch's Intellibrew makes use of barcode scanners to scan each capsule coffee machines. It then automatically pre-wettes, infuses and dispenses the right amount of coffee for the specific type of pod. It's a hands-free, easy-to-use machine that does its job well, but it doesn't have any options for customised drinks or varying the strength of the brew. Some customers will be irritated by this, but many will appreciate the ease of use and variety of cup sizes (espressos and lungos, as well as mugs) to be exactly what they're looking for.

Apart from filling the tank with water and decaffeinating the reservoir on occasion, this coffee maker will not need a lot of maintenance. It can make short espresso-style shots or tall travel mugs with ease. As mentioned earlier, the used pods are then ejected from a hidden container that keeps your kitchen tidy. It also excels at delivering full-bodied coffees with tops that are topped with crema.

This machine is part of Smeg's 1950s-style collection. It's user-friendly with a simple control panel and can take ground coffee or ESE pods. The only drawback is that it doesn't come with an indicator that lets you know when it's time to descale and the maximum water level cannot be set, which is a minor inconvenience. It is also necessary to buy the brand's capsules which can be expensive. However, this is an excellent pod coffee maker for those looking for a beautiful and practical appliance that can serve them well for an affordable price. This model is compatible with a variety of capsules from third party manufacturers and works with the Nespresso Vertuo range.
