The best coffee machines with pods Pod Coffee Machines

With pod coffee makers, you just put a sealed capsule coffee maker with ground or roasted beans into the machine. Then the coffee pours through for a set time period to create 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

If you're looking to buy a basic Keurig coffee maker without all the bells and whistles of more expensive models, this is a great choice. It's easy to use and has a great look. When not in use, it can be easily tucked into a corner in the kitchen.

The machine can be loud but it's not a huge problem. It's also quite compact and can be tucked away in small counters. However, if you want a Keurig that has a larger range of sizes or a carafe that is suitable for traditional drip brewing, you should consider other alternatives.

Keurig K-Select is a single serve coffee maker that blends a sleek design with more user-friendly features. This lets you make the perfect cup of coffee every time. Choose from hundreds of delicious K-Cup pods, or make your own ground coffee with My-K-Cup's universal coffee filter that can be reused (sold separately). The Strong Brew feature kicks up the strength and intensity of your coffee which makes it the ideal choice for those who appreciate a strong cup.

The brewer has simple controls using buttons. Just insert a K-Cup pod, select the brew size you'd like to use, and press the brew button. In less than a minute you'll have a fresh-tasting cup of coffee ready to drink. The large reservoir of 52 ounces allows you to brew five cups before refilling, making it easier to manage your morning routine.

The Keurig is easy to clean. The reservoir for water and lid can be cleaned and removed by hand. To ensure your Keurig is running at its peak it is essential to descale it before cleaning. Follow the guidelines in the user's manual. This warranty covers all accessories and the brewer, excluding for normal wear, abuse or misuse and other external causes like power outages.

2. Tassimo My Way

If you're a lover of coffee pod machines and are in search of a pod machine capable of making more than your typical cup of joe, this is the best choice. It's designed to create a diverse range of drinks, including hot chocolate and tea. It has a large 1.3 Liter water tank that can make multiple cups at a time. The machine is warm in just three seconds and can make a latte or cappuccino using its milk jug built-in. It also comes with a touch-sensitive screen that allows you to alter the intensity, temperature and quantity of your drink.

Tassimo My Way uses T Discs, which are an assortment of ingredients can be used to make your drink. There are more than 70 varieties which include Kenco, Costa, Milka, and Cadbury's. The machine also provides T discs for tea and hot chocolate as well.

We discovered the coffee it produced to be of excellent quality, though slightly less than other pod pod-making machines we have reviewed in this round-up. It also steamed the milk for an espresso fairly quickly and gave a smooth mouthfeel without being overly thick. However, it should be taken into consideration that the milk with a frothy texture made from T Discs contains sugar which, while not a huge problem in itself, isn't to everyone's taste.

Tassimo My Way's removable components such as the drip tray and the water tank are all dishwasher-safe. A Brita filter is included, as well as cleaning disk. A useful indicator light will tell you when to descale, and a water tank will keep limescale at the 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 beautiful machines available. The machine is made of tough and attractive materials. It has a sleek steam wand that can be adjusted to make cappuccinos or lattes, and a stainless-steel milk jug. Place a pod into the machine and select the size of your cup and the machine goes into action, making espresso double espresso, lungo, gran lungo, mug and alto drinks with a thick layer of silky foam.

As with most pod machines you load the pod using an opening on top and then drop it into the right spot. The machine punctures the capsule coffee maker then seals it. When you press the lever, the used pod will fall into a specially spent Pod tray underneath the drip tray.

It's not the fastest machine to make coffee it takes 30 seconds to make a shot of espresso and 90 seconds for a lungo but the results are consistently impressive, with a great crema and a rich, smooth taste. The machine also alerts you when the water tank or pod bin is in need of refilling.

The main selling point of this machine is that it can use it with any Lavazza-branded pod Seven pods are available in total including ground roasted espresso (Qualita Rossa, Intenso, Passionale and Delizioso) Two decaffeinated (Dek Cremoso) and two organic coffees (!Tierra! Bio). The pod coffee maker isn't inexpensive, but if you combine it with pod delivery services, the price can be similar to a regular bean-to cup machine. The slim design of this machine allows it to fit into the tiniest kitchens. The pods are recyclable, so you can put them in your local food bins or garden compost.

4. Nespresso Vertuo Pod Machine

Nespresso machines are the best pod coffee machine pods coffee makers for those who are looking for a reliable, speedy and steady brew. They are quick to heat up and are simple to use. Simply place a capsule in and press a button, and you're ready to go. They produce a rich, creamy crema that can be added to drinks for more flavor and thickness. The official pods are not cheap and you will have to buy them.

The Vertuo line is a different model from the OriginalLine machines, which make use of espresso capsules. They read each capsule's barcode, automatically adapting the brewing parameters to create the perfect cup. They also have a centrifusion device that spins the capsules in order to make the best flavor and the thickest crema.

The machines aren't as intuitive as our other choices. The lid opens only when the machine is ready, and it takes about 30 seconds for the capsule to warm up. The machine doesn't come with a milk frother, like some of the other pod machines in this list. You'll have spend an extra PS90 to buy an additional Aeroccino to make cappuccinos and lattes.

They also require more regular maintenance than other models, such as refilling the water tank, emptying used pod containers, and decaling. However, they have an app that reminds you of these duties and includes tools such as store locators and capsule recycling. And if you connect your machine to an IntelliPort it is possible to use voice commands to control it which is a nice touch if you're making coffee in the dark at 4am, or have limited hand strength.

5. SMEG Barista Pod Machine

This sleek machine is the lovechild between an adored Italian brand and a renowned company that makes kitchen appliances. It comes with all the sleek, retro curves that SMEG is famous for, as well as the ability to brew coffee and lungo drinks with ease. It has a programmable setting for the shot, dual-height dripping trays, and pod bins that are removable.

This coffee maker lets you make an instant cup of espresso or lungo in the morning or during your break at work. The simple control panel is elegant and doesn't hinder its functionality. If you're looking to spice your morning joe more, it comes with three filter baskets that can accommodate different kinds of capsules. You can use loose-ground beans (although a separate grinder is required).

The SMEG Barista Pod Machine doesn't have a milk pitcher, however, it does come with an inbuilt Pannarello milk frother, which froths both cow and soymilk quite well. It also comes with a portafilter that measures 51mm, which is smaller than the typical commercial filter. It's pressurized which is great because it means you won't get the stale, lingering grind taste. It comes with a plastic tamper that can also double as spoon.

The SMEG is the most expensive machine on our list. However, it's worth it if you're looking for something retro or you love making espresso drinks in a hurry. It's also a great choice when you're just beginning to learn about the world of coffee making and don't want to deal with the hassles of measuring, grinding, and the process of tamping your own beans.
