Best Coffee Machine Pods Pod coffee machines make it easy to get your caffeine fix in the morning. Contrary to conventional machines they offer pre-packed pods of espresso or ground coffee to speed up the process. If you are looking for the best pod coffee machine, choose one that has the best options to adjust the size of the drink and temperatures. Also, check if the machine can handle reused pods. 1. Nespresso Vertuo Nespresso is the leader in pod brewing and a favourite among coffee fans. The capsules and machines made by Nespresso are highly evaluated in terms of quality and sustainability. The capsules are constructed of 80 percent recyclable material and compostable. They also have less plastic than traditional coffee bags and have less carbon footprint. Nespresso also partners with organizations that are green-certified to promote fair work practices and sustainable farming. The Nespresso Vertuo line includes several machines that create a rich and delicious cup of espresso or coffee with a perfect crema. The VertuoPlus X and VertuoPlus Deluxe models come with advanced features such as automatic heating of milk as well as customizable beverage settings. They are easy to use and feature modern, sleek design that will look stunning in your kitchen. Both the X model and the Deluxe model come with a huge reservoir and a slim machine body. They are equipped with a revolutionary new extraction technology known as Centrifusion that uses up to 7,000 rotations per minute to make coffee or espresso. This process helps to create an even and smooth crema with a high level of saturation even in smaller cups. Nespresso's capsules are a bit more expensive than the third-party compatible pods available in supermarkets and many online retailers, but they offer a nice range of flavors and intensities to select from. The company regularly releases limited-edition products as well. The company's machines are also extremely user-friendly and the Vertuoline requires less steps than the original Nespresso line that produces only espresso. The Vertuoline also offers two different sizes of capsules — the smaller espresso and gran lungo size for those who prefer smaller drinks. The larger mug capsules and alto capsules are suitable for mug-sized drinks requiring a more intensely roasted cup of coffee. Unlike some of the other pod machines we tried and tested, the Nespresso Vertuoline also makes a excellent drip coffee. 2. Illy X7.1 This pod coffee maker is elegant, high-quality machine built using durable and appealing materials. It is a little more expensive than the other machines we tried, but it provides excellent, reliable performance with an attractive design that will fit in with any kitchen. The X7.1 features a revolutionary patent-pending system which reads the bespoke barcode on each capsule to identify it. It then pre-wets and infuses with the proper amount of distillate water. This is a great feature for those who desire a hassle-free, hands-off automation. However, it could be a problem for those who love to alter settings and select their own brew strength or size. The machine can serve espresso, double espresso, gran lungo mug and alto drinks with a smooth layer of crema. Highly recommended Resource site X7.1 isn't just an absolute standout in its brewing technology but also for its other features. For instance, it is one of the only coffee machines that we have tested that offers a height-adjustable drip tray to adjust the dimensions and shape of the coffee mug. It also comes with a stainless-steel milk jug for making cappuccinos and lattes. The X7.1 includes an energy-saving sleeping mode and a removable holder for pods that makes cleaning easy. It's compatible with the majority of Keurig K-Cups and Nespresso capsules as well as Bruvi's own B-Pods. These pods differ from K-Cups or other popular pods in that they are made up of ground coffee instead of a teabag and are more caffeine-rich than regular espresso. The Bruvi also has apps compatibility and can be set to brew on a remote basis and according to a time. It also has steam wand that can be used to make cappuccinos or lattes fluffy. 3. Grind One The Grind One, designed in Stockholm, may be the best option for those who don't like Nespresso capsules that are plastic or want something that's not as heavy. Two members of the Real Homes team have been testing it out in their kitchens, and both really love it. It's a sleek stainless-steel geometric machine, that looks stylish and is simple to use. Simply place a pod into the inlet, choose either the short lungo or express, and then press a button. The light flashes to indicate whether the coffee is brewing or ready. There is no milk carafe or steam wand. However, you can add hot or cold milk to your coffee as you'd like. This machine is designed to work with Grind’s own reusable, recyclable and compostable pods. So not only are you decreasing the amount of coffee you waste (which can take hundreds of years to break down) but the pods themselves are made of no plastic and are also organic. They cost around 50p each and you can dispose of them in your garden compost or food waste bin when they are empty. The Grind One is PS275, and you can buy the milk frother to it for an additional PS325. It's more expensive than a lot of Nespresso-branded pods, however it's a sleek well-designed, well-constructed, and versatile machine. It's also the smallest and therefore won't require any counter space. It comes with a raised tray that locks on to a series notches and the waste bin, which can be adjusted to the height. 4. Grind 2 This pod machine is perfect for those who enjoy an espresso-like coffee in a snap. It can be used to brew one shot that is short or a long shot using three different temperature and extraction settings. Its ability to create a wonderful espresso impressed our coffee enthusiast. Its crema (which should be a cosy chestnut color that lasts until the last sip) and temperature were perfect. Its sleek design, as well as its tough and attractive materials, made it stand out among the crowd. Our coffee enthusiast also tried the Grind One for its ease of use. The robust switch is pleasant to use, and offers the option of programming your preferred short or long shot. It also has an easy-to-read LCD. You can even select whether to automatically pour hot water when you drink your espresso, which helps the grounds settle and improves the taste of your drink. A milk frother is also included, making this pod coffee maker an excellent all-rounder. Another advantage of these machines is that they eliminate the messy parts out of espresso making, namely grinding, dosing and tamping the beans that have been ground. This decreases the amount of items to be cleaned and recycled which makes them a better option for those who don't have much kitchen space. If you do want to expand your options having a separate milk froth allows you to make cappuccinos and lattes as well. Alternately, you can go with a manual coffee maker such as the Aeropress which offers an environment-friendly design with a richer taste than machines can provide. However, it does require more effort from you and we wouldn't recommend it to all. 5. Lavazza Idola Unlike the more expensive Lavazza Voicy pod coffee maker, this model does not include a milk maker, but is great for those who love espresso, ristretto or caffe lungo. It's also one of the quietest machines available, meaning you can grab your morning cup of coffee while your children are asleep. You can programme the size of your cup according to your mood and there's the option of the temperature to increase to push your brew to a higher temperature at the touch of one button. It's simple to stay on top of maintenance with alerts that inform you when the capsule bin requires emptying or when the water tank is running low. The machine doesn't frost milk however it can be used to make cappuccinos and flat whites by using the use of a separate container. Many customers have left glowing reviews on Amazon and John Lewis. They praise the quiet operation as well as the flexible choices offered by the machine, such as different lengths of brews and an adequate capacity for used capsules. There aren't many customer reviews but the general consensus is that it's a great pod-based coffee maker if you prefer an easy set-up. It's more expensive than Nespresso Vertuo Pop but comes with the highest quality Lavazza pods. It is also one of the quietest machines available. It's not the best choice if you are looking to make more than two kinds of coffee, however we'd suggest one of our top choices for what you're looking for.
