Best Coffee Machine Pods Pod coffee machines make it simple to get your caffeine fix in the morning. Unlike a traditional machine they offer pre-packed pods of ground coffee or espresso to accelerate the process. To find the top pod coffee machine, choose one that provides the most options for adjusting drink sizes and temperatures. Also, make sure that the machine can accommodate reusable pods. 1. Nespresso Vertuo Nespresso is a pioneer in pod-brewing, and a favourite of espresso drinkers. The capsules and machines of the company are highly rated for quality and sustainability. The capsules are made of 80 percent recyclable materials and are fully compostable. They are made of less plastic and have a smaller carbon footprint than traditional coffee bags. Nespresso also partners with organizations that are green-certified to promote fair labor practices and responsible farming. The Nespresso Vertuo line includes several machines that create a rich and delicious cup of coffee or espresso with a good crema. The VertuoPlus X and VertuoPlus Deluxe models come with advanced features like automatic heating of milk and adjustable drink settings. These machines are easy-to-use and feature a sleek design that looks stunning on your kitchen counter. Both the X model as well as the Deluxe model come with a huge reservoir and a slim machine body. Centrifusion, a new innovative extraction technology, uses up to 7,500 revolutions per minute for brewing the espresso or coffee. This process helps to create a consistent and smooth crema with a high degree of saturation, even in smaller cups. Nespresso's capsules are more expensive than the third-party compatible pods that are sold in supermarkets and a variety of online retailers, but they have many different flavors and intensities to select from. The company frequently releases limited-edition products as well. The machines are simple to operate and the Vertuoline is less complicated than Nespresso's original Nespresso, which only produces espresso. The Vertuoline also comes with two sizes of capsules – the smaller espresso size and the gran lungo size for those who prefer smaller drinks. The larger alto and mug capsules are ideal for rich and mug-sized drinks that require a more intensely roasted coffee. In contrast to some of the other pod machines we tried this one, the Nespresso Vertuoline also makes a good cup of drip coffee. 2. Illy X7.1 This pod coffee maker is a elegant, high-quality machine built with tough and attractive materials. It's a little bit more expensive than other models that we've tested, but it provides excellent, reliable performance and features a beautiful design. 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 appropriate amount of distilled water. This is a major benefit for those who like a simple automation. However, Click Home may frustrate those who like to tweak settings and select their own brew strength and size. The machine is able to serve espresso drinks double espresso drinks mugs, granlongo, and alto drinks, all topped with layers of creamy crema. In addition to its technology for brewing, the X7.1 comes with a variety of other characteristics that make it stand out. For example, it is one of the few coffee machines that we have evaluated that comes with an adjustable drip tray that can be adjusted to height to adjust the dimensions and shape of the coffee mug. It also comes with a stainless steel milk jug that can be used to make cappuccinos and lattes. The X7.1 includes an energy-saving sleeping mode as well as a detachable holder for pods, making cleaning easier. Compatible with all Keurig K-Cups, Nespresso capsules, and Bruvi B-Pods. These pods differ from K-Cups or other popular pods because they contain ground coffee, instead of a teabag and contain more caffeine than regular espresso. The Bruvi also has app compatibility and can be set to brew on a remote basis and according to a time. It also has a helpful steam wand that can be used to make foamy cappuccinos and lattes. 3. Grind One The Grind One, designed in Stockholm, may be the right choice for you if you don't enjoy Nespresso capsules that are plastic or prefer something less as heavy. Two members of the Real Homes team have been trying it out in their kitchens and really love it. It's a sleek stainless steel geometric machine, that looks stylish and is simple to use. It's as simple as putting a coffee pod into the inlet, choose either the short express or lungo and press a button. The light flashes to indicate whether the coffee is in the process of brewing or is ready. There's no steam wand or milk carafe. However, you can top your coffee with hot or cold milk if you like. The best part about this machine is that it was designed to work with Grind's recyclable, plastic-free and compostable coffee pods. This means you're not only cutting down on your coffee waste (which can take hundreds of years to degrade) but the pods themselves are made of no plastic and are completely organic. They cost around 50p each and you can throw them in your garden compost or food waste bin when they are empty. The Grind One is PS275, and you can add the milk frother to it for an additional PS325. It is more expensive than many Nespresso pod machines, but it's stylish, well-designed and versatile machine. It's also the most compact of the bunch, so it won't take up too much countertop space, and it has an elevated drip tray that is secured to the sides of the waste bin for height adjustment. 4. Grind 2 This pod machine is ideal for those who like having a quick cup of coffee. It can make a short shot or a long shot using three different temperature and extraction settings. Our coffee lover was impressed by its ability to make an excellent espresso. Its crema (which should be a cosy chestnut color and last until the last sip) and temperature were spot on. Its sleek style and durable appealing materials also helped it stand out from the rest. Our coffee aficionado also tested the Grind One for its ease of use. The switch is heavy-duty and has a satisfying feel and allows you to program your preferred length or short shot, and a clear display. You can also choose to automatically dispense a shot of hot water when you drink your espresso, which will help the grounds settle and enhances the taste of your drink. The pod coffee maker comes with a helpful milk frother which makes it an excellent all-rounder. These machines also take out the messy elements of espresso-making including grinding dosing, tamping, and dosing of the ground beans. This also reduces the number of items that have to be cleaned and reused. This makes them an ideal option for those with little kitchen space. If you want to expand your options you can use an additional milk frother to make lattes and cappuccinos. You can also choose a manual coffee maker such as the Aeropress that combines the benefits of a low carbon footprint and more flavor than you get from a machine. It's more work, so it's not for everyone. 5. Lavazza Idola In contrast to the more expensive Lavazza Voicy pod coffee maker, this model does not have a milk frother, but is great for those who love espresso, ristretto, or caffe lungo. It's also one of the quietest machines on the market so you can sip your morning cup of coffee while your kids are asleep. You can set a size for your cup that suits your mood and decide to increase the temperature to help the brew to go through faster at the touch of one button. You can also keep track with the maintenance schedule by receiving notifications when the capsule bin is empty or the water tank needs to be filled up. The machine does not make frothy milk however it can be used to make cappuccinos and flat whites with an additional container. Many customers have left glowing reviews on Amazon and John Lewis. They praise the machine's flexibility, quiet operation, and different lengths of the brews. There aren't many reviews from customers, however the consensus is that it's a great pod-based coffee maker if you want 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 most quiet machines on the market. If you want to make several different coffees, we recommend you check out one of our top alternatives. For more information, read our full Lavazza Idola review.
