The best pod and capsule coffee machines coffee machine (My Home Page) Pod Coffee Machines

With pod coffee machines, you insert a sealed capsule filled with roasted or ground beans into the machine. Then the coffee pours through for a specified amount of time to make your drink.

Certain pod coffee makers offer multiple cup sizes, a built-in filter, and milk ability to froth. The best pod coffee maker for you is dependent on your individual preferences and lifestyle.

1. Keurig K-Select

This machine is a great option if you're seeking a Keurig coffeemaker that isn't adorned with all the bells, whistles, and features of higher-end models. It's easy to use, has a great design and can be hidden away in the corner of your kitchen when not in use.

The machine is noisy but it's not a huge issue. It's also small enough to fit on a counter with a small space. But, if you're looking for a Keurig with a larger variety of sizes, or a carafe that is suitable for traditional drip brewing, think about other alternatives.

Keurig K-Select is a single-serve coffee maker that combines a sleek style with more user-friendly features. This lets you make the perfect cup of coffee capsules machines every time. Choose from hundreds delicious K-Cups, or brew your coffee using a My-K-Cup universal coffee filter (sold separate). The Strong Brew feature kicks up the intensity and strength of your coffee which makes it the ideal choice for coffee lovers who appreciate a strong cup.

This brewer is simple to use and has simple button controls. Just put in the K-Cup pod, choose the brew size you'd like to use and press the brew button. In less than a minute you'll have a freshly-brewed cup of coffee ready for you to enjoy. The large 52-ounce reservoir allows you to make up to five cups in between refills, making it easier to manage your morning routine.

The Keurig is incredibly easy to clean. The reservoir for water and lid can be removed and washed by hand. To ensure that your Keurig is working optimally, you must always remove the scale prior to cleaning. Follow the steps in the user guide. The warranty covers the brewer as well as all original accessories, except for normal wear and tear, damages caused by misuse or abuse and external causes of failure like power outages.

2. Tassimo My Way

If you're a coffee enthusiast and are in search of an espresso machine that can produce more than your typical cup of coffee, this is the best option. It's designed to create a wide range of drinks like tea and hot chocolate and has a large 1.3 litre water tank that can make multiple cups at once. The machine is warm in only three seconds, and can create a latte or cappuccino using its milk jug built-in. It also has a touch-sensitive LCD which lets you adjust the temperature, intensity, and quantity of your desired drink.

The Tassimo My Way uses the brand's T Discs which contain everything you need for your preferred drink. There are over 70 different kinds which include Kenco, Costa, Milka, and Cadbury's. The machine offers a variety of T Discs, including those for tea and hot chocolate.

We found the coffee it produced to be of good quality, although slightly less than that of the other pod machines featured in this round-up. It also steamed the milk to make the caffe latte in a short time and produced a rich mouthfeel, but not too thick. However, it is to be not forgotten that the frothy milk made from T Discs contains sugar which, while not a huge problem in itself however, may not be to everyone's liking.

The Tassimo My Way is easy to keep clean, with the drip tray, the removable parts of the brewing unit as well as the water tank being dishwasher-safe. There's an Brita filter that is included as well as a cleaning disc that can be used as well. A helpful indicator light will let you know when it's time to descale and a water reservoir keeps limescale to an absolute minimum. The machine is classified as Energy Star, which helps reduce the power consumption of up to 15%.

3. Lavazza Lungo Pod Machine

This Nespresso compatible pod coffee machine created in collaboration with Sage by Lavazza is one of the most attractive machines available. It's built with durable and attractive materials, has a neat adjustable steam wand to make lattes and cappuccinos as well as a stainless steel milk jug. Pop in a pod, select your cup size and the machine will whir into action, making espresso, lungo, double espresso gran lungo, alto drinks and mugs with a thick layer of silky frosting.

As with all pod machines you load the pod through an opening on the top and then drop it into place. The machine punctures the capsule and then closes it. When you pull the lever, the pod will fall into a dedicated spent Pod tray underneath the drip tray.

The machine is not the fastest machine to brew espresso, it takes 30 seconds for a single shot and 90 seconds for the lungo. But the results are always impressive with a smooth, rich flavor and great crema. The machine will also inform you when it's time to refill the water tank or pod bin.

The main selling point of this machine is that you can use it with any Lavazza brand pod - there are seven in total including espresso ground (Qualita Rossa, Intenso, Passionale and Delizioso) Two decaffeinated (Dek Cremoso) and two organic coffees (!Tierra! Bio). The pod coffee maker isn't expensive, but if you pair it with pod delivery, the price can be similar to a regular bean-to cup machine. The machine's slim design means it can be fitted neatly into the smallest kitchens. Furthermore, the pods themselves are compostable, so you can put them into your local food waste bins, or even your own garden compost.

4. Nespresso Vertuo Pod Machine

Nespresso machines are among the best pod coffee makers for those looking for quick, reliable, and consistent brew. They heat quickly and are super easy to use--just put a capsule in, push a button and you're done. They produce an extremely creamy, rich crema that can be added to drinks to give more flavor and thickness. The official pods aren't inexpensive and you'll need to buy them.

The Vertuo line is a different model from the OriginalLine machines, which utilize espresso capsules. They scan each capsule's barcode, automatically adapting the brewing parameters to make the perfect cup. And they feature a centrifusion mechanism that spins the capsule to get the best flavors and the most thick crema.

The machines aren't quite as intuitive as the other options. For instance, the lid only opens when the machine is ready and it takes about 30 minutes to heat up enough to be able to fit into the capsule. They don't include the milk frother like some of the other pod machines on this list. You'll have spend an extra PS90 to buy a separate Aeroccino to make cappuccinos and lattes.

They also require more regular maintenance than other models - refilling the water tank, emptying used pod containers, and descaling--but they have an app that reminds you of these tasks and offers tools like store locators and capsule recycling. If you connect your machine to an IntelliPort you can control it with voice commands. This is ideal for those who make coffee at 4am in the dark or are limited in power.

5. SMEG Barista Pod Machine

This sleek pod capsule coffee machine machine is the lovechild between an adored Italian brand, and a renowned company that makes kitchen appliances. It has the sleek, retro curves that SMEG are famous for, and can brew the espresso and lungo drinks. It also has an adjustable shot setting that can be programmed, dual-height drip trays, and a removable pod bin.

This coffee maker makes it simple to make an instant cup of single-shot or double-shot espresso in the morning, or a lungo during breaks at work. Its easy-to-use control panel is elegant and doesn't hinder its function. If you want to spruce your morning joe more, it comes with three different filter baskets that accommodate different kinds of capsules. You can also make use of loose ground beans (although you'll need a separate grinder).

The SMEG Barista Pod Machine does not come with a pitcher for milk. However, it does have a Pannarello built-in milk frother that can froth cow and soymilk well. It also has the portafilter 51mm, which is smaller than a typical commercial-style filter. It's pressurised and this is a plus since it means you won't get the old, unfinished grind taste. It also comes with a tool which doubles as a scoop.

The SMEG is one of the most expensive pod machines on our list however it's certainly worth it if you're a fan of the retro design or like the ability to quickly whip up espresso-based drinks. It's also a great option when you're just beginning to learn about the world of making coffee and don't want to have to go through the hassles of measuring, grinding and tamping your own beans.
