The Best Coffee Pod Machine

This sleek, brushed-steel appliance provides the Sage distinctive quality and ease of operation. It preheats after switch-on, and makes an espresso with aroma or slightly longer lungo in 30 minutes.

Unlike bean-to-cup machines, pod models take the most messed-up aspects of coffee making out of your hands, such as grinding and dosing grounds.

1. Speedy

Pod machines are generally quicker to install and use than espresso machines, with the majority able to make coffee in 30 seconds or so. The pre-portioned pods that are used in these machines are generally more costly than freshly roasted coffee beans and many of them are not recyclable.

The Nespresso CitiZ has one of the fastest pod machines on the market, thanks to the barcode scanner that scans each compatible pod's code before brewing. This makes it easy to get consistent high-quality, high-end coffee every time, and there is virtually no chance of a drink coming out badly wrong. The machine is among the slimmest and lightest available. It does not require an additional milk container and its compact size makes it easy to fit into even the tiniest kitchens.

The CitiZ isn't the most efficient device to reduce your environmental impact. It doesn't have an automated descaling function and you'll need to do it yourself every 300 cups if reside in hard water, or 1200 cups in soft water areas. Once the filter cartridge is out, you'll have to replace it with a fresh one. This can be costly for some users.

The Tassimo Vivy 2 is another fast machine that has buttons that can be customized and the option to use either ground coffee or ESE pods, which are pre-dosed and tampered with grounds packed between filter paper. This model is B-Corp Certified. It is committed to lessening the negative impact it has on its environment and its employees. Its only slight drawback is that it takes a little longer to warm up, but once this is done, it will be able to brew one cup in just 35 seconds.

Vertuo Creatista is a stylish, sleek machine that can make a variety drinks in different sizes and styles. This sleek machine, created in collaboration with Sage is not just simple to use, but it also comes with an ice cream wand, an stainless steel jug and milk frother.

2. Removable parts

The ease of using a pod coffee maker is a major advantage. The best models are easy to operate. The majority of machines employ the same basic process to brew a cup of coffee that is, heated water is placed in the reservoir, and then moved through capsules to make rich, hot coffee. The majority of brands offer a variety of sizes of drinks to meet different requirements, and you can save your own settings on a number of models to speed up the process even more.

Keurig's K-Cups and Nestle's Nespresso VertuoLine series are the two biggest players on the market, yet each has a variety of capsules from the most popular roasters and brands. Some pods are able to be used just once before they are discarded however, others can be used multiple times. You'll need a plan for your used pods to avoid them ending up in landfill.

The SMEG we tested comes with a removable reservoir of water that is simple to fill. It also automatically dispensates another capsule after the previous one cools down. It can make espresso and lungo drinks and has eight different blends for variety. This brewer is perfect for those who love coffee and want to make the switch from drip coffee.

In our tests, the Tassimo My Way 2 proved to be the most enjoyable to use. Its sleek design makes it a looker on your countertop and opens with a simple tap to reveal a hidden compartment to store your empty pods. The machine also has the added benefit of an filtration system for water, which is ideal for hard-water areas.

This machine brews 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 the style of airplane toggles that can be easily retracted and a lever which retracts to reveal the hole to place in your coffee maker. It takes a bit of force to close but our testers, even those with limitations in hand strength and mobility, found it comfortable.

3. Size

The best coffee pod machines take all the messy parts of coffee making out of your hands - you simply load in a pod, hit a button and brew. It is still necessary to clean your machine occasionally but not as often as a bean-to cup or espresso maker. Pod machines are smaller than their bigger counterparts and can be stored on the counter 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 looking to gain from it. The majority of pod machines are easy to use, however some provide more options for customization. Different pod types, brew sizes options and milk frothing capabilities are all important to find the ideal coffee pod machine for you.

Many people associate pod-based machines with the likes of Nespresso and Keurig However, there are a few more recent competitors on the scene that could be worth considering. One of them is Bruvi which has a bespoke pod system known as B-Pods that can only be used in conjunction with its machines. These pods are marked by a barcode which is read by the machine to adjust the brewing settings automatically.

This means that the machine takes all the guesswork out of brewing a cup and guarantees that every drink is perfect every time. It is even able to save custom drinks to a specific button so you can create them at the touch of a button.

Other machines, such as Sage's My Way, offer more granular control over your coffee than most pod-making machines, allowing you to choose a specific size and temperature for each cup. It's a bit more expensive than some models, but it has the polished stainless steel build and the excellent customer service that is associated with the brand. It is a good option for those looking to get a bit more from their pod-based coffee maker.

While the majority of people are using a pod-based machine to make single-serve beverages however, there are a few larger models that are able to brew longer shots, known as lungos. The Lavazza A Modo Mio Smeg is an excellent example of this, and it blends the retro-fifties style of SMEG with the classic design of Italian coffee maker, Lavazza. It's difficult to use due to its airplane-style toggles as well as the manual lever, but it's incredibly easy and incredibly satisfying to operate and brews a lungo in just 30 seconds and the used pods are put into an internal bin at the push of a button.

4. Customization

The limited capabilities of a pod coffee maker's customisation is a major reason it's not the best choice for you. If you don't have an additional milk frother, then the only option to add flavor or creaminess is to use a hot chocolate or tea option in your mug, or to manually add milk to coffee. For most people, this won't be a problem but it could be a problem for those who prefer an automated experience in the morning.

Bosch's Intellibrew technology utilizes a barcode reader to scan each capsule, and automatically pre-wet, infuse, and dispense the correct volume of coffee required for that kind of pod. It's an easy-to-use, hands-off machine which does an excellent job, but isn't able to customize drinks or for varying the strength of brew. This may be a problem for some buyers but for others the hassle-free automation and range of cup lengths (espresso, lungo and mug) it gives precisely what they require.

Aside from filling up the water tank and decaffeinating the reservoir occasionally This coffee maker does not require a lot of maintenance. It can make short espresso-style shots and tall travel mugs effortlessly. As previously mentioned, used pods are then ejected from an unnoticed container that helps keep your kitchen tidy. It also excels at delivering full-bodied espressos with tops that are topped with crema.

This is a beautiful-looking machine and part of Smeg's fifties style range. It's easy to use via simple buttons, and it can handle ground coffee as well as ESE pods. Its only flaw is the lack of a gauge that tells you when to descale, and the inability to set a maximum water level. It is also necessary to purchase the brand's capsules which can be costly. But, it's a great pod coffee maker for those seeking a stylish and practical appliance that can provide them with quality coffee at a reasonable cost. This model is compatible with a range of capsules from third party manufacturers and is compatible with the Nespresso Vertuo range.
