Some pod coffee makers have various sizes of cups and a built-in filter and milk frothing capabilities. Selecting the right pod coffee maker for you is based on your personal preferences and lifestyle. 1. Keurig K-Select This machine is a great choice if you are looking for an Keurig coffeemaker that doesn't have all the bells and whistles and features of the more expensive models. It's simple to use, has a beautiful design, and can be easily tucked away in an area of the kitchen when it's not being used. The machine can be noisy but it's not a huge problem. It's also small enough to fit on a counter with a small space.

Tassimo My Way If you're a coffee lover and are looking for an espresso machine that can produce more than your typical cup of joe, this is the best choice. It's designed to create a diverse range of drinks, including tea and hot chocolate and comes with a huge 1.3 Liter water tank that can make multiple cups at the same time. The machine can be heated up in only three seconds, and can create an espresso or latte with its milk jug built-in. It also features a touch-sensitive display which lets you adjust the temperature, intensity, and quantity of your desired beverage. Tassimo My Way uses T Discs, which are a set of ingredients that can be used to create your drink. There are more than 70 different varieties to choose from, ranging from brands like Kenco and Costa to Costa, Milka and Cadbury's. The machine comes with a selection of T discs, which include ones for hot and tea chocolate. We found the coffee it produced to be of high quality, albeit slightly less than that of some of the other pod machines we have reviewed in this round-up. It also heated the milk for the caffe latte in a short time 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 is a source of sugar that isn't 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, removable parts of the brewing unit, and the water tank being dishwasher-safe. A Brita filter is included, as is cleaning disk. A handy indicator light will let you know when to descale, and water tanks will help keep the limescale to the minimum. The machine is Energy Star rated, which reduces the power consumption of up to 15%. 3. Lavazza Lungo Pod Machine This Nespresso-compatible pod coffee machine from Lavazza created in collaboration with Sage, is one of the best-looking machines available. It's constructed with durable and attractive materials, it comes with an adjustable steam wand for making lattes and cappuccinos as well as a stainless milk jug in steel. Put a pod in and select the size of your cup and the machine will whir into action – making espresso double espresso, lungo, gran lungo, mug and alto drinks with a thick layer of silky foam. As with all pod machines you load the pod through an opening on the top and then drop it into the appropriate spot. The machine pierces the capsule before closing it so that when you press the lever, the used pod falls into a dedicated spent pod tray that is located beneath the drip tray. The machine is not the fastest machine to brew espresso. It takes about 30 seconds for one shot and 90 seconds for the lungo. But the results are always spectacular with a smooth, rich flavor and great crema. The machine will also notify you when the water tank or pod bin is in need of refilling. One of the main selling points for this machine is that you can use it with any Lavazza-branded pod There are seven in all, including ground roasted espresso (Qualita Rossa, Intenso, Passionale and Delizioso), two decaffeinated (Dek Cremoso) and two organic coffees (!Tierra! Bio). It's not cheap, but with a subscription deal that combines this pod coffee maker with a pod delivery service it could come at a similar cost to a regular bean-to-cup machine. Its slimline design allows it to be tucked away in the smallest kitchens. Additionally, the pods themselves are industrially compostable, which means you can place them into your council's 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 a fast reliable, consistent, and reliable brew. They heat quickly and are simple to use. Just insert a capsule and push a button and you're good to go. They produce an extremely creamy, rich crema that can be added to drinks to give more flavor and a thicker layer. They're not cheap, however, and you have to buy their official pods. The Vertuo line uses different technology than OriginalLine machines that work with espresso capsules (and are still in existence). They read the barcode of each capsule, automatically adapting the brewing parameters to make the perfect cup. They also have a centrifusion machine that spins the capsules to make the best flavor and thickest crema. The machines aren't quite as intuitive as our other choices. For instance the lid is only opened when the machine is ready, and it takes about 30 seconds to get hot enough to put in a capsule. They don't include a milk frother, like some of the other pod machines in this list. Therefore, you'll need to spend an extra PS90 to buy a separate Aeroccino to make cappuccinos and lattes. They also require more frequent maintenance than other models—refilling the water tank, emptying old pod containers, and descaling—but they do come with an application that reminds you of these duties and provides tools such as store locators and capsule recycling. If you connect your machine with an IntelliPort you can control it with voice commands. This is great when you're making coffee at 4am in the dark or have limited strength. 5. SMEG Barista Pod Machine The sleek and stylish pod machine is the product of the adored Italian brand, and a well-known company that manufactures kitchen appliances. It has the retro, sleek curves that SMEG are known for, and can brew both espresso and lungo drinks. It also comes with an adjustable shot setting that can be programmed as well as dual-height drip trays and a pod bin that can be removed. This coffee maker makes it simple to whip up a quick cup of single-shot or double-shot espresso in the morning, or for a lungo during breaks at work. Its easy-to-use control panel makes it appear sleek and doesn't detract from its function. It has three interchangeable baskets for different types of capsules. You can use loose-ground beans (although an additional grinder is required). The SMEG Barista Pod Machine does not include a milk pitcher. However, it does have a Pannarello built-in milk frother which froths cow and soymilk very nicely. It also comes with an oversized portafilter of 51mm, which is smaller than a standard commercial-style filter. It's pressurised, which means that you won't get the stale, leftover taste. It also comes with a plastic tool which doubles as a scoop. The SMEG is one of the most expensive pod machines we've reviewed but it's well worth it if you're a lover of the retro look or like the ability to quickly whip up espresso-based drinks. This is a great choice if you are new to coffee making and don't want to tackle the burden of measuring, grinding, and tamping beans by yourself.
