Tassimo My WayThis is the best option for coffee lovers looking for a machine that does more than just make your typical cup. It can make a variety of drinks including hot cocoa. The large 1.3-litre water tank can allow multiple cups to be brewed at once. The machine is warm in just three seconds, and can create the perfect cappuccino or latte using its built-in milk jug. It also has an LCD that can be touched to let you to adjust the intensity, temperature, and quantity of your drink.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 varieties, including Kenco, Costa, Milka and Cadbury's. The machine has a range of T Discs, including those for hot tea and chocolate.The coffee made by this machine was of excellent quality, although slightly lower than the other machines we have reviewed. It also gave a smooth mouthfeel and steamed milk for caffe lattes fast. However, it must be noted that the frothy milk made from T Discs contains sugar which isn't a huge issue however, may not be to everyone's liking.Tassimo Myway's removable parts such as the drip tray and the water tank are all dishwasher-safe. A Brita filter is included, as is an ice-cleaning disk. A helpful indicator light informs you when it's time to clean and a reservoir of water keeps the limescale to an absolute minimum. The machine is Energy Star rated, which reduces the amount of electricity it uses by up to 15%..3. Lavazza Lungo Pod MachineThis Nespresso-compatible pod coffee maker from Lavazza created in collaboration with Sage is among the most attractive machines on the market. It's built with durable and attractive materials, has an adjustable steam wand that can be used to make lattes and cappuccinos as well as an stainless milk jug in steel. The machine can brew espresso, double espressos, lungos, mugs, and altos, all with an incredibly thick layer of froth.Like most pod machines, you load a pod through an opening on the top of the machine and drop it into place. The machine penetrates the capsule, and then closes it in such a way that when you press the lever, the pod falls into a specially empty pod tray underneath the drip tray.It's not the fastest machine to brew, taking 30 seconds for a shot of espresso and about 90 seconds for a lungo but the results are consistently impressive, with excellent crema and a rich, smooth taste. The machine will also notify you when the water tank or pod bin is in need of refilling.A big selling point for this machine is that it 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 expensive, but with a subscription deal that combines this pod coffee maker with the delivery of pods, it can work out at a similar price to a traditional bean-to-cup machine. Its slimline design means it can be tucked away in the smallest kitchens, while the pods themselves are compostable, so you can put them into your council's food waste bins or your own garden compost.4. Nespresso Vertuo Pod MachineNespresso machines are among the best pod coffee makers for those who want a fast, reliable, and consistent brew. They heat up fast and are simple to use. Simply insert a capsule and press a button and you're ready to go. They create an extremely creamy, rich crema that can be added to drinks for more flavor and a thicker layer. They're not cheap however they are expensive, and you need to buy their official pods.The Vertuo line utilizes a different technology than OriginalLine machines that use espresso capsules (and still exist). The Vertuo line reads the barcode on each capsule and adjusts the brewing parameters to produce an ideal cup. They also have a centrifusion machine that spins the capsules to make the best flavor and the thickest crema.That said they're not as intuitive as some of our other choices. For instance, the lid only opens when the machine is ready and it takes around 30 minutes to heat up enough to allow it to be put into a capsule. They don't include an milk frother, like some of the other pod coffee makers on this list, so you'll have to shell out an additional PS90 or so to buy an extra Aeroccino if you want to make lattes and cappuccinos.They also require more maintenance than other models - refilling the water tank and emptying the pod containers used for descaling however they come with an app that reminds you to do these tasks, and provides tools such as capsule recyclers and store locators. If you connect your device with an IntelliPort you can control it using voice commands. This is a great feature when you're making coffee at 4am in the dark or have a limited strength.5. SMEG Barista Pod MachineThis sleek pod coffee machine is the love child of a well-known Italian brand and a renowned kitchen appliance company. It features all the sleek, retro curves that SMEG is known for, along with the ability to make espresso and lungo drinks with ease. It comes with a programmable setting for the shot, two-height drip tray, and a pod bins that are removable.This coffee maker lets you make an instant cup of espresso or lungo in the morning or during your work break. Its easy-to-use control panel looks sleek and doesn't interfere with its functionality. If you're looking to spice up your daily joe even more, it has three filter baskets that can allow for different capsule types. You can even use loose ground beans (although you'll need a separate grinder).The SMEG Barista Pod Machine doesn't have a milk pitcher, however, it does come with an inbuilt Pannarello milk frother that froths both soymilk and cowmilk beautifully. It also has a portafilter of 51mm which is smaller than the conventional commercial filter. It's pressurized, which is nice because it will not give you that stale, leftover grind taste. It also comes with a plastic Tamper that can also be used as a scoop.The SMEG is among the most expensive pod machines we've reviewed, but it's definitely worth it if your a fan of the retro design or enjoy being able to whip up espresso-based drinks. It's also a great choice for those who are new to the world of making coffee and don't want to have to go through the hassle of measuring, grinding and tamping your own beans.
