Best Coffee Machine Pods Pod coffee machines make it easier for getting your morning coffee fix. Unlike a traditional machine they can dispense pre-packed pods of espresso or ground coffee to make the process faster. Choose a pod coffee machine that allows you to adjust the temperature and cup size. Also, make sure that the machine can handle reused pods. 1. Nespresso Vertuo Nespresso is the top brand in pod brewing and a popular choice for espresso lovers. The capsules and machines made by the company are highly evaluated in terms of quality and sustainability. Its capsules are made from 80 percent recyclable materials and are fully compostable. They are less plastic-based and have a lower carbon footprint than traditional coffee bags. Nespresso also partners with organizations that are certified green to encourage fair working conditions and sustainable farming. The Nespresso Vertuo range includes several machines that produce a thick tasty cup of espresso or coffee with a great crema. VertuoPlus Deluxe and VertuoPlus models come with advanced features, including automatic milk heating as well as customizable drink settings. These machines are easy-to-use and feature a sleek style that looks great on your kitchen counter. Both the X model and the Deluxe model come with a huge reservoir, as well as a slim body. They are equipped with a revolutionary new extraction technique called Centrifusion that uses up to 7,000 rotations per minute to make coffee or espresso. This process creates a consistent, smooth crema that is saturated to a great extent even in smaller cups. Nespresso's capsules are more expensive than third-party compatible pods available in grocery stores and online retailers, but they come with a many different flavors and intensity levels to select from. The company also offers limited-edition products. The machines of the company are very easy to use, and the Vertuoline requires fewer steps than the first Nespresso line that produces only espresso. The Vertuoline also comes with two sizes of capsules – the smaller espresso size and the larger lungo size for those who prefer smaller drinks. The larger mug capsules and alto capsules can be used for drinks that require a more intensely roasted cup of coffee. In contrast to some of the other pod machines that we have tested this one, the Nespresso Vertuoline also makes a good cup of drip coffee. 2. Illy X7.1 This pod coffee maker is elegant, high-end machine constructed using durable and appealing materials. It is a little more expensive than the other machines we tested but it offers excellent, reliable performance with an attractive design that can blend into any kitchen. The X7.1 uses a patented system that reads the barcodes on every capsule to identify them. It then pre-wets and infuses with the proper amount of distillate water. This is a huge benefit for those who want hassle-free automated, hands-free. However, it may frustrate those who like to tweak settings and select their own brew strength or size. The machine can dispense espresso double espresso, gran lungo alto and mug drinks with a silky layer of crema. The X7.1 isn't just an outstanding model in terms of its brewing technology, but also for other features. It is among a handful of coffee makers we tested to offer an adjustable height tray that can be used to adjust the size and shape of the coffee cup. It also includes a stainless steel milk jug for making cappuccinos and lattes. The X7.1 also comes with an energy-saving sleep mode and pod holders that can be detached to simplify cleaning. Compatible with Compatible with all Keurig K-Cups, Nespresso capsules, and Bruvi B-Pods. These pods differ from K-Cups or other popular pods in that 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 up to brew on a remote basis and according to a schedule. It also has a useful steam wand that can be used to make foamy cappuccinos and lattes. 3. Grind One If you're not a huge fan of the plastic Nespresso pods or you're looking for something that isn't so bulky, the Stockholm-designed Grind One may be the most suitable option for you. 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 chic and is simple to use. Simply place a pod, choose whether you'd like a lungo or a short express and press the button. The flashing light indicates whether the coffee is brewing or ready. There's no milk carafe or steam wand, but you can add cold or hot milk to your coffee however you like. The best part about this machine is that it was designed to work with Grind's own reusable, plastic-free and home compostable coffee pods. This means you're not only reducing 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 about 50p each and you can throw them into your garden compost or in your food waste bin once they are empty. The Grind One costs PS275 and you can purchase it as a an option that includes milk frothers for an additional PS325. It's more expensive than many of Nespresso-branded pods, but it's a very sleek, well designed, and versatile machine. It is also the smallest that means it doesn't need the most counter space. It comes with a raised tray that locks on to a series notches and the waste bin to adjust the height. 4. Grind 2 If you're looking for a simple and quick cup of coffee, this machine eliminates the hassle making espresso. It can brew a short or long shot, and has three different settings for temperature and extraction. Our coffee lover was impressed by its capability to make an excellent espresso. Its crema (which should be a cosy chestnut color that lasts until the final sip) and temperature were right on. Its sleek design, as its strong and attractive materials, helped it stand out among the crowd. Recommended Resource site tried the Grind One for its ease of use. The heavy-duty switch is a pleasant touch with the option to program your preferred length or short shot, and a clear display. You can even choose whether to automatically dispense a shot of hot water when you drink your espresso, which will help the grounds settle and improves the taste of your drink. A useful milk frother is also included, making this pod coffee maker an ideal all-rounder. These machines also remove the messy parts of espresso-making, such as grinding dosing, tamping, and dosing of the beans. This reduces the number of items that need to be cleaned and recycled and makes them a more suitable option for those who don't have much kitchen space. If you're looking to expand your options, you can utilize an additional milk frother to make cappuccinos and lattes. Alternately, you can choose an manual coffee maker, such as the Aeropress, which combines the benefits of a low carbon footprint and an opulent taste that you get from a machine. However, it does require more effort from you and we wouldn't recommend it for everyone. 5. Lavazza Idola Contrary to 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 lungo. It is also one of quietest machines, so you can enjoy your morning coffee while your children are still asleep. You can programme the size of your cup to match your mood and there's an option to add a temperature boost to nudge your beverage to the touch of an button. You can also keep up with the maintenance schedule by receiving notifications when the capsule bin is empty or when the water tank needs to be topped off. The machine does not do any frothing, but you can make cappuccinos and flat whites by using an additional milk container. There are a lot of positive reviews from buyers on Amazon and at John Lewis. They praise the machine's flexibility, quiet operation, and different lengths of drinks. There aren't many customer reviews but the consensus is that it's an excellent pod coffee maker if you want simple setup. It's a little more pricey than the Nespresso Vertuo Pop, but it comes with excellent tasting Lavazza pods and is one of the quietest machines available. It's not ideal if want to make more than two types of coffee, however we'd suggest one of our top-rated alternatives in case that's what you're searching for.
